Pet care experience

The Caesar Milan of pet care

I've been taking care of pets, plants and homes for the last ten years. I believe in having a pet owner coming back to their pet/home in better shape than they left them. I've encountered many different personalities of pets over the years and understand each has different needs and desires. I ensure that the pet is comfortable with the environment and myself by building a relationship of trust.

Matt was great with our dog, Rowdy, and was an easy choice to have Rowdy stay with him a second time.

Matt was absolutely wonderful. Zingo had a hard time adjusting but Matt never gave up and made sure that he was as comfortable as possible. I’m so thankful that Matt took the best care of our cat. Can’t recommend him enough.

Matt was great! Champ came home exhausted so I know he received great attention and care. I would definitely book him to stay with Matt again!

We have use Matt for years and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our dogs! He is the most caring dog sitter I’ve ever had and my dogs look forward to visiting with him and being loved by him! We have had a dog that had some health issues and he made it so easy for us to not worry about leaving out of town for a couple of days I highly recommend Matt, he is the only pet sitter we have and wouldn’t look for anyone else other than him for our dogs!

Matt did a great job watching our two dachshunds while we went away for a weekend. He took time each day to throw their toys for some exercise and was careful to feed the right amount for each dog. He had some really cute pics when we came back too!

My girls live to see Matt when he comes to care for them. He will stay at my house so the girls feel comfortable or care for them at his home where my girls fell in love with being able to lie on the back of his couch and peer out the window. Both my girls are rescue dogs and very skiddish but very comfortable with Matt. The only other person I would leave my girls with is my daughter. Matt is family as far as my girls are concerned. I get pictures of them while he’s babysitting. Wouldn’t trust my babies to anyone else except family

I'm a high school technology teacher enjoying summer break. I've decided to join Rover so I can still work during my down time this summer.

Safety, trust & environment

I have cared for animals short & long term and have many necessary items like leashes, bowls, foods, bags and more. I have air conditioning for the hot days of summer. Walking your dog helps me live a healthy lifestyle that I enjoy.

A typical day

I enjoy going on walks and runs so getting outside is always a good time. I'm willing to adapt for all types of dogs so staying inside is perfectly fine too.
