Self-proclaimed "dog whisperer" :D
Pet care experience
DEPENDABILITY ~ I'm self-employed and work remotely, so I'm flexible and will keep your pup next to me. I respond to texts and calls as soon as I see them or am available. PICS ~ I will send pictures as frequently as you'd like!* ALLERGIES, MEDS, ANXIETY, ETC ~ With me, they will be safe, healthy and happy! BIG DOGS ~ ...are fun! I can manage large, strong pups. UNTRAINED PUPPIES ~ I'm happy to help couch your dog :D More about me: I'm really great with animals, dogs especially. I've always owned dogs - but not right now. I miss them and find myself running across parks to go meet a dog. I figure this would be a good way to play around and have fun with pups while earning a little extra income. I have a lot of experience babysitting and house-sitting with other animals as well. I don't mind the dog's size, breed or attitude. I tend to work well with and understand any dog I come across. Although I don't have professional experience, personally, I have helped and watched while my mother worked as a vet's assistant. *It says less than 100% of clients received photo updates, but that is only because I often texted photos, not knowing I'm supposed to send them through Rover.
Reviews
Matt did a great job and my dogs love him. Everything was under control when I returned. It's been awhile since I've left them, so I was happy to see that they were so comfortable with Matt.
Matthew gave such loving care to my elderly dog, Roxie. She needs a lot of help on many levels and Matthew was definitely up to the tasks, and then some! He texted me many photos and kept me up to date on how she was doing. He is also really neat and left the house better than I left it for him, including cleaning the shower he used. That was an added bonus, as my focus is my dog's care and the house is secondary. But, he’s put a high bar for any other dog sitters I might use! And, I would use Matthew all the time, but because he does it all, he’s inevitably busy a lot. But, I will use home whenever his availability allows it. Thanks, Matthew!
Thanks so much for taking care of our two family pets. Matthew was excellent! Took great care of our home and the dogs. Thank you!!
Matt was awesome! And, he is the “dog whisperer.” Buddy and Coco can’t wait to see you again. :-)

Safety, trust & environment
I keep them close. If we aren't doing something and it is just "down time" during sitting, then I'd probably work on my laptop with them right next to (or on top of, lol) me.
Information Matthew R. would like to know about your pet
Their health and wellness needs, of course! As well as their level of activity - I'm happy to take a long walk, snuggle or just leave them to do their thing.
A typical day
Lots of walking and playing with balls, if that's okay! Otherwise, I'm just happy to be spending time with dogs :) Parks are usually my go-to... if there's a dog park around, even better!

Availability
I have an extremely flexible schedule, so beyond other plans, I could easily work out a daily or semi-daily walk schedule with clients who'd like to see their dogs a bit more active.
