Pet care experience

Your dog wants to vacation here! :)

When you're looking for a petsitter, you want someone who will not only lavish them with hugs and snuggles, but who also knows how to keep your pet happy and healthy while you're away. My dog experience started with my own pup as a kid, but led to cherished professional experience in pet stores and kennel management. And I certainly don't stop at dogs; I've also cared for birds, pocket pets, and reptiles (in fact, our reptiles have their own room in our house!). I'm also glad to have a wonderful petsitting partner in my wife, Bethany, who shares my love of animals and rounds out my knowledge with her degree in Animal Science. The bottom line is, we know pets. If Spot's tummy is upset, we can whip up a stomach-soothing meal, and if that doesn't work we'll make sure he gets the vet care that he needs. We'll treat your dog (or cat, gecko, gerbil, or turtle!) like one of our own, and I think our dogs would tell you that that's a pretty sweet deal. :)

This is my second time booking with Matthew for a 5 day trip, and I’m equally as thrilled with his service as the first time. My dog absolutely loves him, and I really appreciate his daily photos and quick recap. He even alerted me to a potential hazard and resolved it right away. I know my dog will be safe, entertained, and loved on when he drops in!

Matthew has been absolutely amazing with our Australian Shepherds. He's a great communicator, flexible, and has lots of patience.

Matthew was great! He was consistent and reliable. He seems to really love pet sitting, and was a great match for our dog. My dog FlapJack loves to walk fast and sniff everything, and Matthew was happy to accommodate that. He is also flexible and communicative. My flights got delayed and I was worried about modifying our booking last minute, but he walked me through it and was happy to help us out a few more days. I plan to book with Matthew again!

Matthew brings the high energy level needed for our very active 3 border collies. Highly recommend.

Matthew is greatly appreciated by us and our boxer, who can be temperamental. Recommended!

Mostly I'll need to know what your pet needs to be safe and happy while you're away. Does Fido eat dinner promptly at 5pm? Does he prefer squeaky toys over tennis balls? Does peanut butter give him a tummy ache? In general, the advantage of petsitting over a boarding kennel is that your pet can receive more individualized care, so please let me know what you and your dog need to have a peaceful stay.
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.
