New to Area • 100+ 5★ Reviews

I’ve spent my entire life around dogs and have been caring for pets professionally for the past several years. Building trusting relationships with pets and their people is the best part of what I do, and I’m excited to bring that same level of care to families in my new community. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I take the time to learn their personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and I’m committed to providing reliable, patient, individualized care every visit. Clear communication is important to me, so you can expect detailed updates, plenty of photos, and the peace of mind that your pet is in caring, capable hands. Thank you for considering me to care for your furry family member. I can’t wait to meet you both! — Matthew

Unfortunately I am not accepting boarding requests at this time. We have a puppy at home that we are training but are unsure how she would do with other dogs.

Matt did a great job with my dogs, very thorough and was patient with my senior dog. I absolutely will have him watch my dogs again in the future!

Matt is new to Central PA and we are blessed to have him here! He’s exactly the dog walker we’ve been searching for… reliable, friendly, detail-oriented, thoughtful AND he’s a dog whisperer! Our dog, Clyde, fears meeting new people but he warmed up to Matt within minutes. Matt knew exactly what to do to build trust and connect with our pup. We’re so grateful to be connected to Matt and plan to use him a lot in the future.

Matthew has been wonderful with my shy pup, Brie. He is patient and so good with her, which is helpful as I navigate my schedule and support for her recent medical issues. Will be booking again soon!

Matthew was great! He accommodated a last minute booking and was even able to come do a meet and greet. He kept me up to date on Mylo and sent pictures for every visit. Will definitely use Matthew in the future!

We’re so glad we found Matthew to walk our two dogs. This was our first time using Rover and being new to Texas, we were a little nervous, but Matthew was great. He communicated well, was super flexible when our plans changed, and our family really appreciated having him there. We’d definitely use him again and highly recommend him.

Matthew was great!! His communication was prompt & thorough. He did a great job of keeping us updated on details of his walks and our dog’s behavior while he was with them. He was dependable and easy to use. We would definitely use him again when in the Frisco area.

It is essential to know anything unique to your dog, honestly. If they are highly treat motivated, I will be sure to always have a bag with me. I will also work on mild obedience/walk training if the weather and workload permit.
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.
