I'm excited to meet your dog/cat!

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I treat every dog like they’re my own—whether that means getting on the floor to play with a high-energy pup or taking slow, gentle walks with a senior dog who needs extra care. I have experience with senior care (including administering medications and accommodating mobility issues). I’m also great at reading dog body language and making shy or anxious pups feel safe and loved. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, healthy, and comfortable while you're away.

Matthew is great with our Bailey. She looks forward to seeing him everytime we go out of town. Highly recommend!

My pups are so happy to stay with Matt. It’s hard to find a sitter for 2 dogs that doesn’t have dogs of their own! I will definitely book again.

My fur baby Hazel thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Matt and his partner. She came back happy and relaxed. Matt sent pictures daily which is always reassuring. So grateful for the love and care provided to Hazel 😊

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.
