About Fenway’s Friends

My name is Matthew Cummings. My family has lived in Andover for over thirty years and I graduated from Andover High School in 2020. There has literally never been a day in my life that I have not had a dog (usually two). It became obvious to me early on that I had a special connection with dogs and they to me. As I got older, this resulted in my being asked to pet sit for dogs and cats, or walk dogs for my family’s many friends. Over time this turned into a small "side-hustle." I have often been encouraged to turn this into a formal business and here I am. While every one of my dogs were, or are, so special, my dog Fenway (a Chocolate Labrador rescue from Tennessee) was extra special. He passed away after a long and wonderful life. He had the sweetest disposition and was a true "friend" to every animal he ever encountered (and believe it or not I am including the squirrels, bunnies and wild turkeys in our yard) - hence the name "Fenway's Friends."

Please note that I am fully insured, I have no criminal record (I say this because of course you will be trusting me with a beloved member of your family and potentially allowing me into your home) and I have a spotless driving record.

If you are interested in my services, please email me at fenwaysfriends@gmail.com and we can discuss your pet(s)' individual needs.

What Clients are Saying

My family has been an “unofficial client” of Matthew’s for years. He is truly a dog whisperer. When one of our dogs passed away, Matthew grieved with us. Maria V. of Andover, MA

Matthew cared for my cat many times over several years to include over several major holidays. He is a wonderful young man. I trust him with my pets and in my home. Kerri S. of Andover, MA

We recently moved out of state but when we were still in the area we had three rescue dogs all with “unique” personalities and challenges. We didn’t trust anyone but Matthew to care for them while we were away. He is truly a dog whisperer. Christine F. formerly of Andover, MA

We needed someone to care for our elderly dog for several weeks while we were away. Matthew exceeded our expectations. So glad we found him - he is now our go-to! Traci B. of Andover, MA
