Pet care experience

I had my first Pitbull 16 years ago, I would take her to my gym and hang out all the time. After her, I adopted two little Chihuahua mix. I took the two of them on long walks and they like to cuddle with me at home. Growing up my families have German Shepherd and Mallimois mix. I had first hand expeirence taking care of different breeds of various sizes. Your Babies will be in really good hands :)

Matthew is a fantastic sitter! I was a little nervous about leaving my dog, Penny, but I felt pretty much at ease from our very first meeting. During the trip, he sent daily photos and updates which I really appreciated. You can tell they bonded because when it was time to go home, Penny was happy to see me but didn’t seem at all happy to leave! She got incredibly comfortable at his place. A huge bonus is that he only takes one dog at a time, which I think made the stay so much better for her. The way he took care of Penny makes me confident that I’ll be booking him again for my next trip.

Ella loved staying with Matthew and his partner! She normally gets stressed in new environments - but she came back happy and like she had a great time. I really appreciate that they only take 1 dog at a time, have a fenced yard and were communicative with regular photos and updates every day. Would definitely re-book for our future trips

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.
