I am a college student home for summer with some free time on my hands so I have the ability to be flexible. I keep a consistent routine with my studies, but can always make time for a loving pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by just trying to understand their needs. Having a dog for most my life has allowed me to know what is good for dogs and what is not, and I can always learn more to each dog specifically. Loving an animal is easy, so I will always care for them like one of my own.

Information Matthew K. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know of any special instruction that may deviate from the norm, which would be no problem. Just a heads up to give your dog the best experience!

A typical day

I usually take them on long walks, play with them in the backyard, and do some exercises with them. I also have them hangout during leisure times.

Pet care experience

Hi! I am Matthew, a reliable sitter who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I can always adjust to the energy of an animal to make sure they feel loved, safe, and understood. I have had a dog for almost my whole life and do great with my friends and family pets when I take care of them. I can always make sure to pay attention to your pet and give them whatever care they need whether it’s an hour walk or a nap after.

Matthew did a great job taking care of my dog. He was very communicative, providing lots of updates, and even let me bring the dog by for a bit to make sure it was a good fit! Would highly recommend!

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.
