I will treat your pets as if they are my own. I am a pet owner and have been a frequent user of Rover in the past myself (for both dogs and cats), so I know and appreciate the sorts of expectations and concerns you might have.

Information Matthew D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or conditions that I should be accounting for. I'm fairly flexible and happy to discuss further or do a walk through.

A typical day

A typical day starts with a morning walk, whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer stroll to get out some energy. I keep things calm and consistent, following each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. If your pet needs medication, I administer it on schedule with care and patience. I make sure water bowls are always full, and I never leave a mess behind. Walks are paced based on your dog’s energy level and needs. I send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and loved.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm Matt — a dedicated and dependable pet caregiver with over 7 years of hands-on experience with dogs and 11+ years with cats. I currently share my home with two wonderful pups, including a senior dog who requires daily medication, so I’m very familiar with the extra love and attention older pets need. Whether your furry friend is full of energy or needs a gentler touch, I'm confident in providing safe, loving, and personalized care. I’m comfortable with nearly all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and special needs. As a Rover customer myself, I know how scary it can be to put your trust in a stranger when it comes to your beloved fur babies. I’m here to give you peace of mind and your pets the care they deserve. Let me know how I can help — I’d love to meet your pet!

Matthew was great! Very reliable and communicative! I hate leaving my cats when I go on vacation but Matthew’s reliability and daily pics put my mind at ease!

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.
