Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog-owner to look after 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 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.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
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.
Perfect dog sitters
Linus, our cocker spaniel,had a lovely stay and Matt replied promptly to messages. Thank you
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

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!
