Matt is our go-to-guy. He’s watched our cat multiple times now, and we always come home to a happy cat. Matt is fantastic about giving our senior cat his meds on time, and our cat clearly likes him. Matt’s picture updates are great, and he’s super responsive and reliable.

I was very impressed by Matthew's sense of responsibility. He was also very sweet with my pet. I will definitely request his help in the future!

Matthew was a fantastic sitter! We booked him while we were on vacation and he was over the top responsible and went out of his way to really bond with the cats. Some of our cats are so shy that I told him he might not see them even once but he kindly and diligently coaxed them out. I’ve never seen my cat take to a stranger like that before. Went from hiding behind a box at the first visit, to happily coming out for treats by the last visit. Will absolutely use him again in the future. Matthew is also very responsive and I love the info summaries he provided in the cards.

Schedule

I have a full time job as a data analyst that is fully remote. Remote work allows me to be flexible with house visits during the day.

Cats
Matthew can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
It’s important to know your pets’ routines, favorite toys, feeding schedule, health issues, medications, and any quirks or fears. Let me know their social preferences, litter habits, vet info, and emergency contacts. Understanding their personalities helps me provide the best care and keep them safe, happy, and stress-free.
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.
