First time using Matthew and we had a really great experience. He let us do a meet and greet a few days beforehand so Sedona would feel comfortable the day I left her. I got lots of updates, photos, and she had a great time playing with other dogs being boarded! If anyone else is also coming from Grant, Matthew has been amazing to work with and I definitely recommend him!

This is my first experience, using Rover or a dog sitter in general, and Matthew was great. Very great at communicating and getting back to me extremely friendly. I am very satisfied but the overall experience.

Matthew took great care of my Toby! He kept me very well informed with messages and pics. I plan to book with Matthew again in the very near future.

Just let me know if your pets have any likes or dislikes, along with any special requests that you have or medical needs they may need taken care of.
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.
