Safety, trust & environment

I’m like the Olive Garden of pet sitters - when your dog is here, they’re family. I make your dog’s safety and well-being my topmost priority, because I know that’s what I expect from the pet sitters we trust with Cooper. My apartment is very tidy so no need to worry about your dog finding loose food. And even though I have a no-outside-paws-on-the-bed policy, I have a big comfy dog bed to keep your pup comfortable and happy.

Information Matthew B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your dogs typical routine, as well as any dietary needs or restrictions. I always try to keep their routine and diet looking like any typical day to avoid stressing them.

A typical day

I take daily walks along the water by the Seaport. There are no cars and it’s ideal for a dog companion. We can stop by one of several nearby dog parks to play/socialize with other dogs.

Pet care experience

*Please note I am unable to take on senior dogs at this time* I have 9 years (5 years live-in) experience taking care of my family’s goldendoodle Cooper and dog sitting for friends and family. I joined Rover over a year ago (August 2024) and have provided care for dozens of dogs of all different breeds, needs, and temperaments. My apartment is spacious, safe, and very clean, with AC in both rooms and plenty of sunlight. I do not have a pet of my own so I can focus on your dog’s needs and routine. I’m familiar with the local dog parks in my area and I live just 1 block from the Seaport.

Matt is a caring and attentive pet sitter — he is loving with animals, responsive and kind with pet parents, and generally a great person to work with. Very grateful to have found Matt and would recommend to anyone looking for someone they can trust!

Our dog stayed with Matthew overnight and he was great with our pup! He sent us lots of pics and was very easy to communicate with. Thanks for taking such good care of Brooklyn.

Matt is an amazing person who took great care of Scotch during his stay. He was very compassionate, communicative and sent lots of photo and video updates. Scotch had a really great time with Matt, to the point that he was sad to leave when I went to pick him up! I would definitely board Scotch with Matt again!

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.
