Safety, trust & environment

I am very big on safety - I make sure to keep track of all pets’ whereabouts, and I like to use a notebook to keep track of feeding, walking, potty, and any needed medication.

Information Mattie S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, needs medication, or is reactive. I want to make sure each animal’s needs are met.

A typical day

I’m big on adapting care based on animals’ needs, preferences, and personality. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, playing with toys, visits to the dog park or pet store, long walks, or just hanging out, I’m happy to join in!

Quality, loving, adaptable care

Pet care experience

I’ve personally had pets my whole life, and cared for a whole range of animals, from hedgehogs to horses, and of course plenty of cats and dogs. I’ve been a pet sitter on Rover for over 3 years now, and have gained valuable experience with puppies, special needs animals, rodents, large breeds, and exotics!

Mattie was absolutely amazing with both our boys! Truly went above and beyond to check in with us and make sure the boys were comfortable! Can’t wait to book again! Best Rover experience we’ve ever had and best recommendation I can give!

This is the second time we had Mattie watch our cat Wilson, and like before, they did a wonderful job! Sometimes when I’m not home, Wilson eats too quickly and regurgitates - this was not an issue for Mattie! They fed him slowly in smaller amounts and also cleaned up a mess he left on the carpet. Thank you so much!

I was very satisfied with the care that Mattie gave my cat, Dixie. Mattie was there twice a day to feed, water, and clean the litter boxes, and was very flexible with my requests. Dixie must have liked her as Dixie doesn't warm up to humans right away and she did that with Mattie. I will engage Mattie in the future to care for Dixie.

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.
