Pet care experience

Dedicated & Enthusiastic Pet Lover

I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 2 years for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and sticking to each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also provide plenty of exercise, potty breaks, and attention so they stay happy and active. What sets me apart is my communication—I send regular updates, pictures, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety and well-being.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment whether I’m in my home or yours. My home has a secure backyard for supervised outdoor time, and I always keep a close eye on pets to ensure their safety. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, stress-free, and at home while you’re away.

Matthew has done a fantastic job checking in on our two pups. He’s wonderful and caring with them and very reliable! We would recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Schedule

“Hey, I’m Matthew! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to focus on pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, especially in the afternoons and evenings. I treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and have fun while you’re away. I also provide regular updates with pictures and messages so you always have peace of mind. I’m reliable, easy to reach, and always happy to do meet & greets before bookings!

Please let me know about your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, energy level, and any special needs or behaviors (such as anxiety, aggression, or medical needs). I’m comfortable with most breeds and sizes, but I prefer to know ahead of time if your dog has any specific triggers so I can provide the safest and best care possible.
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.
