Information Matt W. would like to know about your pet

One of my stipulations for pet sitting is detailed instructions. This would include if they have any special routines, medications(name, dosage, time of day), eat at a specific time, or any other important details.

A typical day

I love to go walking, so your pupper can join me on that! I would take your loved one to my favorite park where I walk, run, and enjoy being outdoors. They can get all sorts of sniffs there! Or if they are more shy, I’m happy to go walking in their neighborhood or somewhere they’re familiar with! Got any favorite toys? We will play with them! I love watching movies and tv, so if your pet likes cuddles or just relaxing, there’s plenty of time for that!

Pet care experience

Hello! Are you looking for a buddy for your buddy? I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kiddo. I’ve been house sitting/pet sitting for 10+ years for family and friends! I’ve taken care of as many as 5+ pets at a time and also solo gigs. I’m a reliable, trustworthy individual that genuinely cares about pets. I do my best to make them as comfortable as possible. I aim to build a good relationship with both of you. For that reason, I only book one client at a time, unless you have multiple pets, because this makes it easier to create that bond.

Matt is a lifesaver. He does such an amazing job with our dogs. He’s the first one I contact if we need our girls watched. I highly recommend him for your pet sitting needs.

Matt is going to do really well and take care of your dog. He has a very gentle demeanor. Calming presence which was perfect for my my relatively high energy dog. I think the best visual I can give you is when I went to go pick up my dog she was laying calmly right next to him while he was reading a book. With Matt I really appreciate it. The fact that there was constant communication. He sent pictures daily. Overall you will be very happy and know your pet is being very well taken care of. I really appreciate him taking care of a dog.

I highly recommend Matt for your dog sitting needs! When my options for family members fell through twice I turned to Rover. Matt came to do a Meet & Greet with the dogs and when our biggest loved him I was sold. Our two little dogs warmed up to him quickly. It was so nice to be able to relax on vacation knowing they were in good hands. I have two ornery dogs and they did great for him! I definitely know who to contact if we go on another family vacation. Again, I HIGHLY recommend Matt.

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.
