Matthew was a great sitter for Winnie! He was very communicative and made sure she had lots of exercise and play time. We will definitely use him again in the future!

Matt watched my dogs Walter & Charlie while I was away on a work trip. I don’t travel very often so the dogs aren’t used to being away from me. They were both super stressed. Matt kept me informed and also medicated my dogs based on instructions provided to help with their anxiety & stress. They both had a great time with Pinot - Matt’s dog. It was such a relief knowing my dogs were in good hands. Will definitely book again.

Matt was attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring. I truly appreciate the effort he put into making sure Bluey was happy and safe. I would definitely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog sitter.

Matthew was a great reliable pet sitter who was able to come at night to help out. I know my dogs enjoyed walks and playing with him. Totally recommend!

Matt was a great host!! Kind, and great with our dog. I wasn’t worried a single bit after meeting them. You can tell they care for their pets and others as if they were their own! Will for sure book again!

I was confident that Buoy was in good hands during his stay with Matt. Matt was kind and prompt in his communication, and I appreciated his flexibility when I had to adjust Buoy’s pick up time due to flight delays. Will definitely book again!

I work in the school system as a therapist. My schedule can be very flexible with mornings and afternoons. I also have long breaks throughout the school year so always reach out and I’ll try to make it work :)

Safety, trust & environment

My wife and I can tag team care for the dogs that come. She will often come home during lunch to let out Pinot and any Rover dog out for a potty break. There is a trail around Shelley lake nearby our place that is in walkable distance and also plenty of places for me to take them on walks. I have a medium sized crate at my townhome if needed. I love dogs, so I will definitely keep them company and make sure they get the exercise they need!
