Safety, trust & environment

Soft voices and lots of love and attention. Dogs I like to run and make sure that they have the exercise they need. Plenty of tug of war! Social cats I give lap time and bring a feather.

Information Matthew E. would like to know about your pet

Please disclose injuries or soft spots on the pet so I don't accidentally pet them there. If they are food aggressive or exit seeking. If they have a favorite toy or area of the home they like to be.

A typical day

Taking walks around familiar areas followed by fetch or tug of war. I like to play the chase and be chased game. If it's a working breed I like to simulate the work activity as close to the activity as possible.

Pets

It will be like you never left.

Pet care experience

Pets bring us all kinds of joy and unconditional love. It's hard to relax on vacation or focus on an event with a piece of you missing . Be able to be present and ease your mind knowing another caring soul will show your pet the same love and attention they enjoy. I have 10 years of experience with all different breeds and sizes.

Matt is excellent! He's very communicative, sends the cutest photos each day, and is very professional. He goes out of his way to be accommodating and my dogs love him!

Once again Matthew has taken wonderful care of our pups! He obviously spent a lot of time with them and was respectful of our home. All three were relaxed and happy when we got home. Would not hesitate to hire him again!

It was obvious when we returned home from our trip that the pups were very well cared for! Matthew was quickly responsive with communication and made us feel relaxed even though it was the first time he house and pup-sat for us. He left our house clean which was very appreciated after our last dog sitter left our home in such a state that we had to clean it as soon as we got home. Also, the dogs acted like we had never left which meant that Matthew spent a lot of quality time with them. We would not hesitate to hire Matthew 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.
