Lifetime dog owner and playwright
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs and have sat for friend's for several years. I'm a writer so time at home with dogs is something I love. I am laid back and gentle with dogs, but also very used to giving medication or special needs for whatever the dog needs. My home has a large backyard with plenty of space to run. And in terms of house-sitting, it is something I do often and am perfectly happy to hang with the dog at home while I write. Taking walks often. I also have experience taking dogs to the local dog park, if there is one, and only with the owner's permission. If bringing a dog into my home, I have a very friendly Havenese mix and Poodle mix.
Reviews
If I could give Matthew a zero, I would. Things started out OK. Meet n greet went well. He seemed like a nice, easygoing, responsible guy. But I was wrong. When we met, I shared with him the general dates that I would need a sitter for my pup. He confirmed that he was free, and suggested that early December worked even better than late December. Fine by me. After a trial overnight went smoothly, i again confirmed his availability for December. He said he was free. After i finalized my travel plans, bought non refundable tickets etc., I sent over my Rover request ... That's when he tells me that he may or may not be available. What in the world?! He told me that he'd get back to me. I just now heard from Matthew -- 3 days before the booking would start. I'm obviously not going to book with Matthew ever again. Yes, he is a nice person, but from my experience, he is unreliable.
Matthew has been so amazing. Attentive, responsible, great w his dogs and ours. So happy to have found him.
Matthew is great! Very friendly, calm disposition and very helpful. I booked very late, last minute and I felt more than comfortable, after one meet and greet, to leave Evie with him and his pups. When I picked her up, she was happy, healthy and content. Thanks Matthew!
Matthew and our dog, Molly, have a serious thing going on. She's happy to see him when we go out of town and has no complaints when we come back. In all truth she always seems happy and healthy and our house always looks better when we come back than when we left. Matthew's wonderful and responsible and whenever we leave Molly with him we have no worries about her while we're gone.
