Safety, trust & environment

I have a cat named Bunk in my apartment, a small fenced yard, an empty lot next door, and Tower Grove and Forest Park nearby for walks. I'm willing to travel most anywhere in the St. Louis area as well if you prefer to keep your pets at home. I will also follow any rules you give to the letter (within reason).

Matt did another great job checking in on my cat while I was out. He sent me photos of the cat every day and scooped the sand box. Definitely recommended.

Matt was a fantastic cat sitter! It was such a relief knowing he was there to check on my kitties while I was away for the holidays. Great communication and very reliable! I would absolutely book him again to watch my fur babies!

Matt was available on short notice and worked with my tricky schedule. He gave me updates and communication on my creatures, so no complaints from me!

Schedule

I'm a lawyer, but the type of law I practice means I don't usually work long hours, and I have some flexibility with the hours I do work. I can't board, but I'm more than willing to housesit and drop in on your pets any day of the week. Occasionally I have to be out of town for work, but I usually know those dates ahead of time and update my calendar accordingly.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Matt can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
If your dog has any special needs or medications, let me know when you request a booking so I can either make the proper accommodations or let you know if I am unable to accommodate your dog's needs.
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.
