Information Matthew B. would like to know about your pet

Writing all these prompts feels like creating a dating app profile. I'm not quite good at that since I've been happily married for a while now. Your dog is gonna be in good hands.

A typical day

I have a park in our backyard, as well as well as others nearby (Shirlington, Eugene Simpson, etc.) Or I can just lounge around and provide belly rubs. Whichever you prefer.

Matthew made Roxy’s time there easy. She seemed quite comfy based on the pics we saw. This Rover loves dogs and it shows. Thx!

Matthew is awesome at taking care of our sweet Tango! He is attentive to Tango's needs during walks and was great at implementing our instructions. He takes great photos of Tango as well. Highly recommend!

Matt is so great to work with! He’s communicative and flexible and took great care of our pup. We will be looking forward to working with him 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.
