Information Matthew & Jennifer H. would like to know about your pet

We love all breeds so long as they are friendly with other animals. Agressive or tempermental dogs are not ideal and we take the safety of everyone's pet very seriously.

A typical day

Fetch, leash walking, child interaction, and play time with other pets when appropriate. Our children adore dogs and want us to get more so this is our way of doing that without a full time obligation.

Your Pet's Home Away From Home

Pet care experience

We are a family of animal lovers. We have a 10-year old Husky mix and an 11-year old long haired cat (but both stay in other parts of the house). Every time we go away we struggle to find trustworthy people to care for our pets and decided we want to help others in need.

Matthew and Jennifer took really great care of my dog - Roo. They also sent photo updates. They were flexible with my pickup/drop off which was very appreciated. I would definitely recommend booking them.

Really grateful for these guys! They took my two labs over the 4th weekend and welcomed them into the mix of their family and festivities. So friendly and lots of pictures and communication. Above and beyond!

Our lab Astrid had the absolute BEST time with Matt and Jen - her vacation was probably more fun than ours! She got to meet other dogs who were visiting/day boarding with Matt and Jen where they had the run of their fabulous yard. Matt & Jen are very clearly amazing dog people and they know how hard it is to not be around your pet, so they send regular updates and photos - several updates in fact, for us - which was incredibly reassuring. It was great knowing that Astrid was treated like a member of their family during their stay. We won't hesitate to book with them 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.
