Matt was our first experience with not only leaving Chili overnight with someone new, but also with using Rover.com - and we could not be happier! Matt was extremely responsive and sent daily updates with photos and videos. Matt's dog Kobe was a great friend to Chili, along with another dog guest that he was watching at the same time. We are so pleased with this first experience and we hope to see Matt for our future trips away!

This was Gigis first time with Matt. For someone whho is not totally comfy with Gigi being left with a new doggy sitter, I had no doubts that Gigi did just fine. A definite 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Matt !!

Matt did a great job taking care of Beau during my last trip. Beau came back happy and tired and looking forward to his next visit

Matt and his crew were incredible! We got multiple daily updates with photos and videos. Our dogs tend to have separation anxiety, and we were worried about how they would do away from home. But they did great, all thanks to the great care Matt provided. Our dogs also got along great with Kobe, and were constantly playing and having fun. We would highly recommend Matt as a sitter, as he was very attentive and accommodating. We will definitely be using Matt as a sitter again in the future!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
