I’m a South African living in London. Not having animals living with me has been a struggle and to be able to spend time with animals would be fun and a meaningful activity. My work is flexible in terms of working from home.

Safety, trust & environment

It all depends on the pet I’m looking after. I am very adaptable to their needs and will do everything to create the safest environment for them.

Information Matthew W. would like to know about your pet

I’m quite open to the type of breed or size of dog/cat. I’ve had experience across the spectrum and am comfortable with any type of pet.

A typical day

I love going to the park so that would be ideal. I also know a big open area in the park where I could throw the ball or do any other moving activity with the dog. I also love playing with them but also enjoy relaxing with them.

Location

London, United Kingdom

Matthew W.'s Neighborhood

Animal lover who wants to meet new furry friends.

Pet care experience

Apart from having cats and dogs throughout my life, I’ve had lots of experience through apps such as BorrowMyDoggy & Rover and privately through friends. Experiences includes dog walking, pet sitting (both cats and dogs) and ranges from puppies/kittens to senior pets including administering medicine. I love the company of animals and walking/looking after animals gives me joy and a fun activity to do (especially when the weather is nice) :D

Matthew was great with our little cockerpoo Otis whilst staying at our flat for the week. He met us at short notice and was very kind and willing with anything we asked him. He kept us up to date multiple times per day with pictures and videos and Otis was very comfortable with him. Thanks Matt!

Matt stayed at my home with my dog while I was away. He was great with both. I came home to a very happy dog and a clean place. I highly recommend Matt for any dog sitting needs.

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.
