Safety, trust & environment

I have pet sat for many different family members and friends over the years, both dogs and cats. I can give meds or cater to any special needs the animal may have. I'm active as well and don't mind doing long and/or frequent walks.

Matthew did a great job watching my two senior cats while we were away for 2 weeks. They were not even mad at me this time when we returned. They made little messes here and there and Matt always cleaned it up perfect for us. I highly recommend Matthew as a pet sitter!

Matthew is the true definition of an animal lover. He's watched my dogs on many occasions, and he always goes above and beyond to make sure they feel loved and cared for. If you're looking for someone reliable to look after your pet you can trust Matthew to do an outstanding job.

I am Matt's father. Ever since he was very small, Matt has been an animal lover. Many dogs have been in his life and he has loved them all. One time in particular, he was on his way home from Arizona with some friends and they spotted a dog tied to an abndoned building, presumably feft to die. They stopped, brought the dog back with them and Matt ended up giving the dog a forever home. So I have no doubt Matt would be a great dog walker/sitter.

I understand animals can be wary at first so as much info about the pet's typical behaviors or preferences will be very helpful. I've owned and taken care of all different personalities at some point
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.
