Home Away From Home!

Pet care experience

If you have come to Rover thinking that your fur-family member will never receive the same level of care, attention, and love that they do at home, please allow me to accept that challenge. I offer a wonderful environment of care, compassion, and understanding that will aspire to rival your own home.

We couldn’t ask for a better person to care for our pup! Matthew was generous with the photos and updates which made us feel comfortable with putting our dog into his care. Our dog looked so content we weren’t sure he would want to come home with us! I mean…a heating pad! We will definitely use his service again.

Matt is very kind and affectionate. Our dog Sapphire loves to stay at his place as she gets to go on daily walks, play with other doggie friends and sleep on Matt's bed. Matt sends a lot of pictures and videos and keeps us posted on how she is doing daily. We have boarded Sapphire multiple times in the past with different sitters and Matt is one of the best!

Our dog and cat had such a great time with Matthew. They acclimated well and were very well cared for. Couldn't have been better. Will definitely book with Matthew again!

If you have found ways of mitigating anxiety or any other issues, please set us up for success and let me know.

A typical day

Feel free to send your dog's favorites, but rest assured I will also have frisbee's, balls, chuck-it's, and tug/chew toys ready for your pet. In addition, I have extensive lawns at my home. I have sprinklers and a couple small kiddie pools for cooling on hot days--and indoor AC if your dog is not happy outside in warm/hot weather.
