Animal Whisperer At Your Service

Pet care experience

My name is Matt. I have been a dog owner for about 16 years now. It all started when I was about 4 years old when I got to pick my own dog out at the humane society with my mother. Ever since then dogs have grown on me and become part of my life. Taking care of dogs is definitely one of my passions. Also, when it comes to being available, I am almost always available 7 days a week unless I have an unexpected change in my availability. I am pretty experienced on knowing what to do with dogs such as the many daily tasks that come with it like feeding them morning and night, refilling their water when needed, and letting them out/walking them a couple times a day.

Matthew took great care of my dog, Gunnar, while I was away for New Year's! He was very quick to respond to all of my messages, and sent me plenty of pictures and updates during the stay. Gunnar seemed to have a really good time with Matthew and came back looking refreshed and energized. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a dogsitter in the Minneapolis area!

Matt did a nice job with my pups - and was super flexible when my plans had to shift (he ended to watching two dogs AND house sitting instead of one dog at his place). Thanks Matt!

Matthew was great! Very flexible and easy going which was a great fit for our energetic dog, Buster. This was our first experience with rover.com and we were very satisfied and impressed with how easy the whole process was. Will definitely use Matthew again!

Thanks to Matt, I feel comfortable with him at our home with our furry beasts. He recognized Jax as a challenge and won. Jax can be nervous around strangers but they are buddies now!! Great job, Matt! We found a regular sitter for next time for sure
