Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their home by sticking closely to their usual routine, as this helps them feel relaxed and secure. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, from feeding schedules and walk preferences to playtime, medication, and any house rules. I always make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

Reliable, Loving Care for Your Pets!

Pet care experience

Growing up in a household full of many animals, I've always felt more comfortable around pets than people! Having walked dogs for friends and family now for a few years, I've decided to take the leap and offer my services professionally. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I aim to give owners complete peace of mind with reliable care, clear communication, and plenty of love and attention for their pets.

Matthew drops in to see my two excitable Staffies every week. He is very good at dealing with their exuberant natures, and follows our instructions to the letter. He leaves very happy dogs on his way out.

I asked Matt to look after my dog while I was away, and they did an excellent job. He fed Oscar on time, gave him regular walks/playtime, and sent updates so I could relax knowing my pet was safe and happy. My dog is easily unsettled when I am away, Oscar was calm and content when I returned, and I was able to confidently ask Matt to pet sit/dog walk again.

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.
