🐶 HUGE Fenced Yard🐾HomeFullTime🦴

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Matt and I'm thrilled to offer my services as a Rover dog sitter for the past 2 years(since 2021)! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I absolutely love caring for them. As a dog sitter, I make it my top priority to ensure your furry friend feels comfortable, happy, and loved during their stay with me. I have years of experience watching dogs, having started at a young age of 10 with my family dog named Sophie, who is still living with my parents in Franklin. Over the years, I've also taken care of our other family dog, Laci, and even had my own dog named Mitzi. Through these experiences, I've developed a deep understanding of dogs' needs and behaviors, and I'm confident in my ability to provide them with the care and attention they require. As a dog sitter, I understand how important it is for owners to stay updated on their pets' well-being while they're away. That's why I send many pictures and videos throughout the day, so you can see how your dog is doing and feel connected to them, even when you're not physically there. I'm always happy to provide updates and answer any questions you may have about your dog's stay. I've also been written into 2 of my dog owner's Wills, which is a testament to my dedication and love for dogs. My home features a huge fenced-in yard with a dog tunnel, dog pool, and dog hoop for agility training. I believe in providing dogs with plenty of opportunities to play, exercise, and have fun, which is why I encourage them to explore freely and make themselves at home. Dogs are welcome to roam around the house, including on my bed and couch (if you allow them to), and I'm always happy to cuddle up with them. By the end of your dog's first stay, I'm sure I'll have already fallen in love with them. I genuinely care for each dog I watch, and I treat them as if they were my own. If you're looking for a loving and caring dog sitter who will provide your furry friend with the best care possible, I'm the perfect match. I can't wait to meet your dog!

A great experience for Ruby - especially her first official sitting gig away from home. She was a happy girl when we got home. All the pooches tails wagging in daily videos and chilling in the yard. Matthew is super on top of his gig and made me feel confident that she was in good hands. I plan to Matthew as my main go to care!

Excellent place for our standard poodle Louie. Greatly appreciated the frequent videos of the dogs having a great time!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a massive fenced in yard & the dogs are allowed everywhere in the house, including my bed and on my couch (contingent on you allowing your dogs on furniture as I have had dogs that I do not allow on my furniture per the owners request). I have multiple dog beds inside for the dogs. The fenced-in yard has a large 400 sq foot covered porch with an entire corner dedicated to the pups with a big dog bed & many different types of toys. Your pup will feel like they are living at the dog park while you are away on vacation (and every dog is always so worn out when they leave because of all the playtime outside haha). I have newly added a dog agility tunnel, dog pool & dog agility hoop😊

Information Matthew M. would like to know about your pet

it's important to know how much exercise the dog usually gets and what kind of lifestyle does it do best in? (ex: sleeping around or going on long walks). I am experienced in Puppy care to Senior dog care and can accommodate different energy breeds at the same time thanks to having two separate rooms in my farmhouse dedicated to dog boarding.

A typical day

I love staying active, so if your dog is active they can come along on walks/runs & sometimes hikes if I only have 1 dog i’m watching. I live on some land and we have a couple different trails that I take the dogs on once in the morning and once in the evening. Throughout the day, I play fetch/frisbee with the dogs in the front yard because I love it and because it stimulates them! I have cameras overlooking my fenced-in front yard. I am also currently working on filling up my two vacant rooms in my house with couches from facebook marketplace and an indoor camera for the dog rooms. By the end of the day, I am about as exhausted as all the dogs & depending on how many dogs I have, I will either sleep on my couch with all of them or I will sleep in my bed with them!

I am home FULL TIME to provide the proper care and attention that I would want a dog sitter to provide if they were watching my dog. I also cook 99% of my meals at home, so the only time I leave the house is for errands like picking up my Kroger clicklist once a week
