Safety, trust & environment

I cannot care for pets at my home due to HOA rules. The only service I offer is to care for your pets in your home. I am happy to follow any instructions and cater to your pets' needs. My care style is pro-active, interactive, and responsive.

Information Matt S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs your pet(s) may have and any special scheduling needs your pet(s) may have. I prefer non-aggressive breeds and well mannered pets.

A typical day

I love to establish a connection with pets to the effect that they know they can count on me and that they know I am listening to them. Beyond timely meals, meds, and water bowl rinse and refreshing, your pet will have a companion. Amateur pet massages, belly rubs, and scratches behind the ears and atop the tail happen often for pets that like these. Neighborhood walks, lots of smell stops, and play with a ball/stick in fenced-in areas might happen, or whatever is within the bounds of your pet's routine and needs.

Matt was an amazing sitter for our fur babies!! He provided daily updates and photos. Our pets are a little high maintenance and Matt took such sweet care of them! I highly recommend Matt and will definitely request him again!!!

Matt was great! I'd absolutely recommend him and would book him again to watch our girls. He spent so much time with them, sent multiple updates, and we came home to a clean house and happy dogs. 10/10!!

Matt was an outstanding dog sitter in our home. He had great reviews, was friendly, responsive and caring. He clearly loves all dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving in our home for a long weekend, knowing our high energy lab mix was getting great care! I will definitely use Matt again! I’m so grateful to have found him!

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.
