Our dog Sully had a fantastic time with Mathew's family and their dog Rufus! He was taken on some nice long muddy walks and played lots in their garden. Thanks again Mat for taking such great care of our boy 😊

Hunter really enjoyed his day stay with Mat and his lovely family while we visited a local tourist attraction on the way back from our holiday. Great communication and a lovely setting, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Mat again.

Matthew and his lovely family took such care with Ted. Ted loved his walks and was well looked after. It was great and I highly recommend Matthew as a dog sitters. Would definitely use them again
