Information Matthew D. would like to know about your pet

I am unable to accept dogs who eat tv remotes, chew furniture and are destructive to household furnishings. I love lap dogs and dogs that are very friendly and who love attention. I cannot accommodate pit bulls or pitbull mixes or dogs above 65 pounds.

A typical day

I live near a park and enjoy taking dogs up to the park to get some exercise. I also love playing fetch and games with dogs that enjoy those activities. I like to give treats to dogs who follow commands.

Pet care experience

I love taking care of dogs, they are the best. I have a particular affection for King Cavaliers and Golden Doodles but I enjoy many breeds.

Matthew once again took very excellent care of Bailey while I was away for the weekend. He was good with giving medications and sent me frequent updates and pictures. Most importantly, he loves having Bailey over and Bailey loves spending time there! I wouldn’t leave him with anyone else.

Matthew was a fantastic dog sitter for Lucky! I could tell that Lucky felt right at home the moment he met Matthew. They played a lot in the short time that Lucky was over, and I would definitely hire Matthew again.

Matthew took such excellent care of my dog over the weekend, he was attentive and gentle and gave my dog his all the medications that he needed. His love for cavaliers is a plus and I felt at ease leaving my dog under his care. I would easily recommend him for anyone who is looking for a dog sitter.

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.
