Pet care experience

I love all dogs: young and old, big and small, and I have experience with special needs dogs. (I was the mom of a sweet handicapped pup myself.) I believe it's important to give dogs a comfortable experience when their parents go out of town, and a big part of that is remaining in the comfort of their own home. Removing them from their safe space can cause anxiety, so I prefer to come to your home to keep your pups comfortable. When I'm there, I'll strive to replicate their daily routine as you see fit. I like to send little photo and video updates throughout the day (only if you'd like, of course) so you can stay connected while you're away. While I'm staying in your home, I will treat it with the care with which I would treat my own. In doing so, I will clean and maintain your home as you would (take out trash, water plants, collect mail, wash dishes and bed linens, etc.).

Mattie took care of our dog and cat a couple weeks ago, and she stayed at our house. She was reliable and responsible and took the time to check in prior to and during our time away to make sure we knew everything was taken care of. We are happy to have found someone we trust, as our dog is twelve years old and he has a few quirks. Highly recommend!

What to say other than Mattie did a fabulous job housesitting our 80 lb black lab and 2 cats for 10 days. We had not met her before hiring her for this job and she was so was easy to talk to and great with the animals. House was in great condition when we returned and we will definitely call on her again.

Mattie was amazing! She kept in touch with us daily and made lots of snuggle time with our pups. She even left us a nice little welcome home note. We totally felt comfortable leaving Mattie with our pups in our house and will definitely rebook her next time we go out of town. Highly recommend!

Mattie took care of my little Chi-weinie for a week in my home. She sent pics and even video of little Liberty. She was available at any time to answer questions about Liberty's well being. Mattie was also a very courteous house guest. My place was exactly as I left it, with a welcome home note on the table. I will definitely use Mattie in the future. This was my first experience using Rover and i'm pleased with the results.

A typical day

I like to let your dog tell me how much activity they want. A young energetic pup? Let's go for a jog around the park, or maybe a trail run if mom & dad say it's okay. An older lazy dog? How about a leisurely walk around the neighborhood followed by a lengthy belly rub. I think keeping a dog's routine is important to decrease anxiety, so however you normally take care of your pup, that's what I'll do!
