Information Mat P. would like to know about your pet

We have children who are experienced, confident and sensible around dogs. Let us know if you're not sure about how your dog is with kids.

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!

Experienced dog-owner to look after your pet

Pet care experience

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 primary 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.

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.

Mat,Cathy and their girls were brilliant. They made it all so easy and stress free for me and gave Wilf such a lovely holiday. He was able to try out all the most comfortable spots to sleep … very important when you’re a lurcher !! He had such a happy time and we had lots of photos of him looking very chilled! Thank you all so much… he had such a great time with you … which meant we could have a great holiday too x

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.
