Pet care experience

Dog lover to the fullest

I have a flexible work schedule and would love to help out when needed. I enjoy going for walks and hikes with my dog on a regular basis. I have experience with every size and age of dog thanks to my work in a doggie daycare during college. I also have a medical background and live very close to the Banfield pet hospital in case of something unfortunate happening. If you want to know anything else I will answer any questions. Thanks for your time!

Matt and his girlfriend stayed at my house for two nights to take care of my senior cat. He did a great job. He was super quick to respond to my messages, sent me updates, and followed the instructions for meds and supplements very well (and there are a lot!) I would love to use him again.

Matt was great and the dogs had lots of fun! We received pictures every day and he answered any questions we had while we were gone.

Matthew continues to be great. Despite my anxiety with not having my apartment 100% together or my anxiety with Ike sometimes being a ham, Matthew has consistently communicated and is very good at knowing how to handle dogs. My dog, Ike, seems to love his walks with Matthew!

I currently have an open schedule to give as much attention to your pup as is needed. I enjoy going on hikes and would love a canine companion to join me.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a townhome with a fenced yard. Pets have free roam in my house other than my office. In a client's home I would treat it as respectfully as if it were my own.

A typical day

I love going on walks and hikes with dogs as often as possible. I will play and mentally stimulate your dog during the day in any way they need.

I would like to know how your pup interacted with new people and dogs on walks and in general. Also, if there are any specific concerns I need to watch out for and can accommodate.
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.
