Availability

I'm a full time professional firefighter/medic and work 24 hour shifts. This means that I have many days off and lots of availability to care for our fury friends. I am also a certified yoga instructor and firefighter fitness trainer. I enjoy getting out in nature and taking our friends along. With my schedule being 24 hour shifts, I use sitters/walkers multiple times every week so I understand the importance of finding the right fit as far as looking after our fury family members. I figured that I could be of help to other pet owners and offer up a safe, fun and friendly space and care.

Safety, trust & environment

My house is 2400 sq ft and no space is off limits. I also have a spacious and very secure fenced in yard. There are stairs in the house and off the deck leading to the back yard. If your pup has issues with stairs, this might not be a good fit. There are sone nearby parks and lots of places to go for our walks. If you are good with dog parks, we tend to go to Cobbs Hill.

Information Matthew A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your fur friends ahead of time. I would prefer to meet them ahead of time for day care and sitting.

A typical day

Multiple trips out in the back yard playing fetch and running around, a 1 1/2- 2 mile walk and sometimes a trip to the dog park. Lots of snuggles and love in between.

I have shared space with/ cared for animals most of my life. I treat them as if they were my own, which means that they are truly my family.

Scout had a great time at Matthew’s. She came home happy and tired - perfect!

We have trusted Matt for years with all of our animals. More he has helped to care for our two Australian Cattle Dogs whenever we are out of town or need a quick stop in if we are gone from the house for a long day. Both of our dogs love him and get so excited when he comes by. He’s an animal lover, communicative, trusted and always on time!

I can't recommend Matthew (Matt) A. enough for pet sitting and dog walking on Rover! His genuine love for animals shines through in everything he does. Matt has cared for my furry friends multiple times, and each time, they came back happy and well-loved. He goes above and beyond, taking the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether it's playtime at the park or snuggles on the couch, he ensures they feel safe and cherished. Matt’s reliability and attentiveness give me peace of mind, knowing my pets are in such caring hands. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, Matt is your guy! He truly has a heart of gold. 🐾❤️

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.
