Long time dog owner / fosterer
Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs all my life. From age 4 until I moved to NYC in my late 20's. Since moving here I haven't owned a dog of my own, although a few of my roommates have, so I've helped care for the dog roomies. I also fostered quite a bit for a year or so until my schedule became too hard to manage... fostering gets complicated with the events and commuting. I have always been a “natural” with dogs. I’m not strict, I don’t care about my furniture. I don’t train dogs. I just hang with them. Currently I live in a dog loving apartment, sans dogs. I thought rover would be a great way for me to still have dogs in my life, and help people at the same time. I have a pretty puppy-proof apartment. I have a nice pen I can set up as well. (6 x 6 or so) I have one full time roommate, she loves dogs too. Currently I am working from my apartment so I have lots of time to offer. Day care or boarding. Thanks =D

Matthew was a wonderful pet sitter! Becky had a great day of walking and resting. Matthew was communicative and so pleasant to interact with! Definitely will be rebooking doggy daycare with him again. Thanks!
Matthew is so wonderful! He was very accommodating to my last minute booking request over thanksgiving weekend, and Pink had a great time! Sent pictures and updates every day :) Definitely will book again with him!
I've been dog-sitting professionally for 4 years and I know what it takes to care for dogs with a range of needs. I've known Matthew for almost a decade and have observed him taking care of dogs in many many instances, both in our household as well as the fosters he's taken into his own home. He's extremely good with animals, very caring and attentive. In addition to providing basic care, he is also very interactive with the dogs he sits, spending considerable time playing with them, which is a service you don't always get with dogsitters. Matthew would provide excellent care to any dog, but I would highly recommend him if your dog suffers from separation anxiety, is particularly active or playful, or needs a lot of interaction.
Matthew took care of my little old lady dog for two weeks while I was away. Coco was treated to several walks a day, tons of cuddles and daily pics or videos for me. I highly recommend Matthew for your pet too.
