Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog-owner for your pet
I have loads of experience with dogs. Growing up, we had a much-loved labrador, and I spent several years fostering rescue dogs with my wife Cathy. We have high-school aged children who also have lots of dog experience. Most recntly, as a family we fostered and rehomed a beautiful staffy around the pandemic. We would love to provide a welcome and loving home if your dog needs looking after.

Ratings and reviews
What can I say. Mat and his family were fantastic with our gorgeous boy. We were very nervous about leaving Kenji as he’s never been left before.. well there was no need. Kenji settled happily and we got regular updates with photos on how Kenji was doing. Seeing him so happy and settled with Mats children really made us know he was safe and well looked after. We will 100% be using Mat again.
Mat and family were the most attentive dog sitters for our Border Collie Skye who stayed with them for a week. Mat sent us a daily photo diary and had clearly tailored her care to suit her needs and reflect her personality. I wouldn't hesitate to use Mat as a dog sitter again in the future. Skye came home perfectly relaxed, happy and content.
Thanks to Mat and family for looking after Max so well while we were away. The regular photos and updates Mat sent showed he was having a great time and was very happy and relaxed when we collected him.
Max had a great first stay with Mat and his family. He can be a bit unsure staying somewhere new, but he was very happy and relaxed when I collected him.

Schedule
I work hybrid and my wife works from home - so we can directly care for and walk your dog throughout their stay. We have excellent flexibility around pick-up, drop-off times.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a dog friendly home with a completely secure backyard to roam around in. We are able to offer walks throughout the day as needed.
A typical day
I often work from home but am always happy for an exuse to get out and stretch my legs - and going for a walk with a dog is always more fun... We're semi-rural so can easily get out into the fields. Between me and my wife your dog won't be short of willing dog-walkers througout the day. Alternatively, if your dog's happy to take it easy and just go outside into the yard when needed - no problem!
