Safety, trust & environment

I currently have a Whiggy which is a Whipet/Italian Greyhound mix named Foley. Foley is a very friendly dog and loves to play. I also have a fenced in backyard to keep any pets in a confined space.

Information Matthew F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs and what I would need to do to better take care of them. I promise if your dog or pet does have special needs that I will make sure they get the best care.

A typical day

I normally take dogs to the dog park and let them play as much as they want and give them a chance to just be dogs. After that if I am allowed to I might take them to go get ice cream or a little treat.

Pet care experience

I have lived with animals all my life and take care of them quite frequently. I have dealt with animals of all ages from puppies to senior dogs. I always make sure they are active and happy.

Matthew was great! Our dog was very difficult but Matthew was extremely patient and caring with him. He communicated frequently and gave us lots of check ins. Great sitter!

Not impressed. My only requests were to tire Willow out by throwing the ball in the backyard and giving her ample time to poop. He let her outside for less than a minute, and spent the remaining half hour sitting in my living room chair (nowhere near Willow) scrolling through his phone. I had to message him during the visit to remind him to give her time outside. He did not play ball with her and he did not inform me of the accident I watched (via camera) her have right in front of him on the carpet. Communication was also poor. Wouldn’t recommend.

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.
