Information Matthew G. would like to know about your pet

Whatever the Rules that the Pet Parent would like me to follow. Are there any areas that are off-limits? Any special feeding instructions or schedules? Any quirks or behaviors that are unique to your pet?

A typical day

I’m eager to do what a pet enjoys most. Whether that is walks in the neighborhood or a park, playing in their own yard, or just getting scratches on a comfy couch and spending quality time with them.

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Matthew and I understand the needs and concerns of Pet Parents like you when they have to be away from their pets. Whether it is just for an afternoon, multiple days or weeks, you want to make sure they are happy, safe and well-cared-for. Our pets are special to us because of the Love they give back to us every day. I was a proud Dog Dad to two beagles for 14 years, but I love dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I’ve been blessed to work with many wonderful families over the past few years especially!

Matthew was fantastic! I am a very anxious dog mom to a 10 yr old pitbull who can at times be reactive to other dogs on walks and so leaving him alone with someone can be stressful but Matthew was attentive and communicative letting me know things were going smoothly. My pup had no problem cuddling up with him on the couch and hanging out! I also have two cats and all 3 of them seemed very well taken care of and everything was great and so smooth! Matthew also was very attentive to my home, taking out the trash, folding up the linens, etc. 10/10 recommend and will be using Matthew again in the future.

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.
