Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, attentive,and trustworthy
I’ve cared for farms with 6 horses, a dog and 6 cats as well as family homes with 4 dogs, 2 cats, 3 birds and a fish. Whatever the size and diversity of the family I’ve had experience. I’ve been house sitting professionally for nearly a year on Rover and it’s been a heartfelt experience. Not only am I great with the pets I’ll also leave your home looking like it did when you left or better.
Cat care experience
Matthew also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
A safe haven: Your pets safety is my top priority. I provide a secure, controlled, environment with zero chaos. Reliable communication: You can count on prompt, reassuring updates and photos/videos around meal times so you always know your companion is safe and happy. An Ideal fit: Because I operate on a calm, structured routine, I'm best suited for independent, house trained adult dogs who are completely comfortable with downtime.
Ratings and reviews
Great pet sit. Lots of communication. Pictures. Videos. House was in great shape when I returned.
We rebooked Matthew to take care of our cat and dog while we were away for 10 days. Our pets were well-cared for and happy, Matt was communicative the whole time, and we came home to a clean house. Thank you!!
Matthew took excellent care of my pups. He was with them over Fourth of July weekend and had to console them and administer extra meds, both of which I’m thankful for. He was also very communicative throughout my trip. I came home to two happy pups!
Matt did an excellent job watching our dogs and our home while we were camping in Yellowstone. Since we had limited service, we were a little nervous about being away, but he kept us updated with brief messages, pictures, and videos that we could view whenever we had service. When we got home, the dogs were healthy, happy, and clearly well cared for. The house was extra clean, and he even did his best to keep our outdoor plants alive during these extremely hot summer days. We really appreciate the care and attention Matt provided, and we have already rebooked him for our next trip. Highly recommend!
Matt was great! Helped us out big time on New Year’s Eve. Our show ran long and he stayed later to be with our husky during the fireworks.
Matthew did a great job watching our two dogs and cat while we were out of town at our home. He was a great communicator and made everything easy. We would definitely use him again.

Schedule
Morning: We kick off the day with a morning bathroom break and refreshing walk to stretch our legs, followed by breakfast and a calm transition into the day. Workday Focus: During core working hours, the home transitions into a quiet zone. This is dedicated to independent downtime where dogs nap and relax while I handle my workday tasks. I do backyard bathroom breaks/hangouts if it's fenced in during the day. Evening: We wind down with an evening meal and a final walk to close out the day. Night: A quiet settled home environment for a restful nights sleep.
