I am a pharmacist. My shifts vary at times, but I am very flexible when I am not working. I do not mind staying overnight or coming over on weekends. If you need an overnight sitter or need to me walk or let the dog out I’d love to help out!

Safety, trust & environment

My roommate (who recently moved out), had a three year old dog. I loved to walk her especially since we had different schedules. I also have plenty of experience sitting for dogs and cats. I don’t mind if they want to sleep in the same bed.

Information Matthew M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets need medications or have any special needs (for example if your dog can only walk one mile before stopping or getting tired).

A typical day

I love to walk dogs and play fetch with them! I am also down to chill on the couch and let pets cuddle with me.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was growing up. My family had cats and I’ve had roommates with dogs. I love to walk, so dogs owners if you need your pet to get out and about I’m more than willing.

Matthew did an amazing job! Very communicative, sent daily pictures, and our boy was happy and healthy when we got back! Would definitely book again

Matthew did an excellent job with my 12-year-old dachshund named Isaac. He was quick to respond, right on time, very friendly, and is clearly experienced with dogs. Isaac can sometimes feel stressed when separating from me in a new environment, but Matthew immediately knew how to help keep him calm and comfortable. He sent photos during the walk, recommended some great parks and dog-friendly walking areas around Rochester, and chose an excellent place for us to meet. You can tell he genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and pays attention to their individual needs and personalities. Overall this was a fantastic experience and I would absolutely trust Matthew with Isaac again in the future. I highly recommend Matthew for taking good care of people's pets.

Matt was wonderful to work with. His communication was excellent. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does and loves animals. This was our first experience using Rover, and we felt very comfortable, leaving our less than one year-old golden retriever in his care for a couple of days. He was very attentive to her needs, and sent us daily photos and updates. Will absolutely use his services again in the future!

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.
