Enthusiastic and loving pet sitter!

Pet care experience

I grew up with a dog and two cats that I cared for. During the summer of COVID prior to my final year of college, I have missed caring for and being with animals, so I fostered a dog with Take Paws Rescue over the summer. Since moving to NYC, I have switched to short-term petsitting. I can train basic commands to dogs, administer topical medications, and have the time and flexibility to play with your pet all day.

Matthew was our very first Rover experience, and my wife and I couldn't be happier with how accommodating, compassionate, patient, and reassuring Matthew was throughout our entire experience: from the courtesy phone-call prior to reserving to picking up our pup slightly off of our proposed time frame. Matthew was extremely responsive to our messages and questions, very transparent with his experience and setup, and just overall a very friendly professional! At times, my wife and I felt like we were bombarding Matthew with questions or "by the way"s with our pup, but Matthew gladly and easily took them in stride and left us reassured. And, our pup, Shira, even as I'm writing this review the day after her stay with Matthew, is still happily passed out next to us - which, to my wife and I, means she had a blast! He even sent us picture updates without us asking! If this is your first time using Rover, or even if you're looking for a new Rover person, my wife and I (and our pup!) can't recommend Matthew enough!

Matt was a great sitter for our dog, Zoey! He set up time beforehand to make sure he was comfortable with her routine and had all the info he needed. Once she was with him, he sent frequent updates and photos. She was super happy and worn out when I brought her home. Would definitely take her back to Matt’s!

Matthew went above and beyond taking care of my Quinn! He is a kind soul and Quinn took to him immediately. He sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. He took her to the park and made sure she was well taken care of. I was confident she was in great hands while in his care. I will definitely book Matthew again!

Matthew was awesome. He took time to schedule a call with me to learn more about my dog. He texted pictures throughout my vacation and was very easy to communicate with.

Information Matthew F. would like to know about your pet

To me, it's most important that your pet is house trained and does not destroy or eat things they aren't supposed to. Friendly pets towards other animals are preferred. I also have 4 roommates, so your pet must be comfortable with making friends!

A typical day

I live near several parks and love exercise so I can go for a long run or walk with your dog. I encourage cuddles on the bed or couch and will pamper your pet with lots of attention.
