Lover of big and small pets!!🐶🐈

Pet care experience

I've been around animals my entire life. From dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and even alpacas, I have a lifetime of experience caring for and loving animals! I regularly help watch pets for friends and family when they're out of town, which includes bathing, grooming, walking and playing with them. In addition to watching other people's pets, I also care for three of my own while I am at home during the summer, which include my dog Belle and cats Carly and Sam. I have been on Rover for the past two summers caring for numerous animals. At this point I am very experienced in giving animals the care they need while their owner is away. I am currently a student at John Carroll University and staying in an apartment near campus. I normally only do Rover over the summer, but I decided to keep working during this school year! My apartment that does not allow animals so I cannot offer boarding services at this time, but I am still available for every other service!

Matthew was extraordinary while we were on an international trip. He communicated very well and resolved issues that went beyond caring for our beloved pets. We could tell that the pets all had a great time with him. We'll definitely be asking Matthew for his help with future pet sitting!

Matt was fantastic. He sent photos for every visit and seemed to give our dog lots of love when coming over to our house to walk and feed him for a few days. I would trust Matt anytime to take care of our dog again.

Matthew was responsive and caring, asking for specific directions on his first drop in visit with our two dogs. Would absolutely book again.

Whenever I am caring for a client's pet, I try to make the animal feel like they are not alone, and they have someone to comfort them.

Information Matthew R. would like to know about your pet

I always like to know if a dog has any special needs or has any tendencies that I should be aware of. I also like to know their walk routines and if they are in the process of being trained and need to be handled a certain way.

A typical day

I love to take dogs to their favorite spots and to let them sniff around some new ones! I especially like to take them to parks and even dog parks if there are any around and with the owner's permission.
