Pet care experience

Dog lover to the fullest

I have a flexible work schedule and would love to help out when needed. I enjoy going for walks and hikes with my dog on a regular basis. I have experience with every size and age of dog thanks to my work in a doggie daycare during college. I also have a medical background and live very close to the Banfield pet hospital in case of something unfortunate happening. If you want to know anything else I will answer any questions. Thanks for your time!

Dog Walking • jun. 11, 2026

Matthew is very straight forward. Meets your expectations. Asks questions if clarification is needed. No fuss walker who knows that the last thing you need is to be worried about your pup! My dog loves his walks with Matthew. Was nervous after recent experiences, but he has made this one thing I don’t have to worry about during the day!

Doggy Day Care • may. 27, 2026

I’m so glad we were able to find a sitter on such short notice. Work suddenly came up, and we really didn’t want Nelly & Yuma to stay home alone for too long. Matthew responded super fast, and everything worked out perfectly. Thank you again!

Matthew was great with our dog, sent lots of updates and was easy to coordinate with. We will definitely leave Sully with him again in the future

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a townhome with a fenced yard. Pets have free roam in my house other than my office. In a client's home I would treat it as respectfully as if it were my own.

A typical day

I love going on walks and hikes with dogs as often as possible. I will play and mentally stimulate your dog during the day in any way they need.

I would like to know how your pup interacted with new people and dogs on walks and in general. Also, if there are any specific concerns I need to watch out for and can accommodate.
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.
