Matthew G. was an absolutely amazing overnight home sitter for my little dog Monica. He took her for walks, played with her, fed her and gave her meds exactly per instruction and he was an immaculate houseguest. I would look forward to booking Matthew G in the future and trust him trust his decision-making when I’m not there. 🫶🏻 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Matthew was awesome! He took great care of our dogs, as well as the house. He communicated with us regularly and sent pictures daily. One of our dogs happened to get sick (through no fault of Matthew) and he was extremely attentive. Made sure to take photos and offered to take him to the vet. We will definitely be booking with Matthew again!

Matthew is a very reliable and dependable house sitter. He took great care of our home and yard following instructions properly and managed many deliveries as needed. Most importantly, his care for our 2 cats was A++.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I run my own law practice from home. No pets currently in the home. I have a flexible schedule to check on, walk, feed, socialize, and train your pet!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I can provide walks, food, water, light grooming, play, and training in your home. I am experienced with crate training or can otherwise restrict room access. I can also stay with your pet at the house, if needed.

A typical day

I provide physical and mental stimulation. Long walks with appropriate pace and plenty of sniffs. Clicker training and positive reinforcement. Grooming care as needed (such as brushing, detangling, or raking). And plenty of loving attention!

Please leave detailed instructions for medications and/or other special needs requirements. Please also note any behaviors I should be aware of (e.g. likes to jump, dog aggressive, resource guarding). I am physically capable of assisting and handling larger breeds.
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.
