All Shapes and Sizes Loved Here

I have been living with, caring for, and training dogs for over 20 years now. I have worked at 2 different humane societies, in 2 different countries, caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. Dogs run my life, and I know that they can run other people's lives, so I want to take most of the burden off others who do not feel comfortable bringing their precious puppy to doggy daycare. I will provide in-home care and training, including behavioral training, on or off-leash. I will provide your dog(s) with a walk every morning and/or night to give them the exercise necessary to live a long, healthy life.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets are cared for like the owner is home. I tend to stick to the plan that the owner put in place for the dogs, so they are comfortable. I come in to a dog sitting or walking like I am a friend to the dog, and many of my past dog walkers have called me “uncle Matt” because of the bond I create with the animals

Matt did a great job and I highly recommend working with him. Our dog is very anxious and our cat requires medication. Matt handled everything perfectly and left the house cleaner than when we left it.

Schedule

When I am dog sitting, i treat my schedule like it is the owners schedule to give the dog a sense of normalcy and feel about their day to day

Cats
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Matthew can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Before I walk a dog, I would like to know if they need a harness or not, and how they act on a leash. I do not have breed preferences. I have experience and the ability to walk larger dogs.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
