Pet care experience

Pets are my passion

I grew up with my German Shepherd, Ace, since the start of high school. I helped train him, keep him active, and make adjustments for his special personality, like rationing time with balls because he loved them more than food. After Ace sadly passed away my mom got another German Shepherd, Ellie. I am currently helping watch and train her. She is the opposite of Ace in that she is not able to focus on anything sometimes even forgetting she was in the middle of trying to go to the bathroom. Working with both Ace and Ellie helps me appreciate how each dog has their own quirks that you need to adjust to and that make them the awesome dog that they are.

Safety, trust & environment

I work with the parents to make sure I understand any special circumstances relating to their pet. I then use that information to ensure I can keep their pet safe and as happy as possible.

Matt was awesome! Very communicative and helpful, and went above and beyond to help us out during a heatwave to make sure our Luna was safe. Highly recommend booking with Matt!

Matthew showed up on time and followed instructions for our dog. He updated me throughout the day and night. He did great watching her and we will definitely be rebooking in the future!

My other jobs are babysitting and tutoring which allows me a lot of flexibility because both of them are also done by customers scheduling appointments. This means as long as I don’t already have an appointment I am available.

If there is anything at all that you think I should know about your pet please yet me know. I want to get to know your pet as much as possible so that we both can have a great time.
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.
