I currently work remotely full time. I take a few walks during my day (during the morning, afternoon and evening) and I would love a pal to join! Due to my remote schedule, I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to animal care.

Safety, trust & environment

As a walker and sitter, I am able to provide a range of services, including feeding, walking, playing with, and administering medication to pets. When caring for pets, I follow specific instructions provided by the pet owner, including feeding schedules, walking routes, and any other special needs or requests. It is also my responsibility for maintaining the cleanliness and safety of the home. I provide clear communication to the owners while away and ample attention to the pet to ensure they receive the best possible care.

Information Matthew C. would like to know about your pet

To ensure the health and safety of the pet, some key information that pet owners may want to include: 1. Health information: Any allergies, medical conditions, or medications the dog may be on. 2. Behavioral information: The dog's temperament, any behavior issues, likes and dislikes, and any triggers that may cause anxiety or aggression. 3. Diet information: The type of food the dog eats, feeding schedule, and any dietary restrictions. 4. Exercise needs: The dog's energy level, exercise requirements, and any special exercise routines. 5. Routine and schedule: The dog's typical routine, including feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules. 6. Any special requests or restrictions: Any additional requests or restrictions the pet owner may have, such as not allowing the dog off-leash or avoiding certain areas or activities

A typical day

I have a range of fun activities for dogs, including playing fetch, going for runs, practicing obedience training, and providing plenty of attention. The specific activities will vary depending on the individual dog's needs and preferences. As for special places to go on walks, I have routes or parks that are safe and appropriate for the dog's breed, age and temperment.

Pet care experience

I grew up having 3 cats (Kibby, TJ, and Mittens), 2 guinea pigs (Missy and Muffin), 2 dogs (Jingles and Sonny) and 1 turtle (Nelson). It was my sole responsibility to walk my two dogs before and after school, feed all 8 animals, and clean their litter/homes. Although I do not own an animal now, I am reliable and I have a genuine love for animals.

Trusted him for multiple trips and he’s great. My cat seems to really enjoy him and he’s incredibly consistent with check ins and instructions.

I have used Matthew a few times. Mostly for my cat. Once on a last minute request for a dog. He is always prompt and reliable and caring for my pets. Thanks Matt !

Matthew took great care of Midge while we were away on our honeymoon! He sent timely updates and pictures, and clearly spent time cuddling with her! Would definitely rebook.

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.
