Pet care experience

Life long dog caregiver

I have hands on experience caring for Labradors, Great Pyrenees, Australian Shepherd mixes, and Bernese Mountain Dogs, and I’m continually learning about other breeds such as Corgis and Siberian Huskies. I’ve cared for dogs for my family and friends and I have a genuine love for giving pets attention, exercise, and comfort. I’m currently balancing a full-time job and college coursework, which allows me to be available for pet care in the evenings on weekdays and throughout weekends. While I don’t currently have dogs of my own, I treat every pet I care for like part of the family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just lots of cuddles, I’m committed to giving your pets the attention and care they deserve. Your furry friends will be in safe and loving hands!

House Sitting • Jul 28, 2026

Matt was absolutely fantastic with our three big pups! From the moment we left, he kept us updated with regular messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention and love while we were away. Our dogs absolutely adored him, and it was obvious he genuinely cared for them like they were his own. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for pups, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Matt and will definitely be booking him again!

Initially we were concerned about leaving our home and dog to a stranger. One thing we learned is to give clear and specific instructions in writing so the sitter knew our expectations of walking and feeding tour dog. Once we had communicated this Matt did a great job. He kept in touch and asked questions when necessary. He left the house clean and tidy and even washed the bedding and towels. Our dog was well cared for and we would use Matt again should the need arise

Matt is our go-to pet sitter and has been for years! He’s cared for all four of our pups. The dogs love him, and our time away is more enjoyable and relaxing knowing that he’s with our babies. He spends time with them and is very communicative throughout their stay. We love Matt!

I like to know a pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions ahead of time. It’s also helpful to know about medical needs, medications, allergies, or mobility issues. For dogs, I appreciate knowing their walking habits, leash behavior, and how they interact with other animals or people. For cats, information about litter preferences, hiding spots, and comfort levels with visitors is helpful. I also welcome details about personality, energy level, and any behaviors to watch for so I can provide the best care possible and keep pets comfortable and stress-free.
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.
