We would highly recommend Matt! He took great care of our boy and always kept us updated. Flynn truly looked like he was having the best time during his stay. We felt so happy knowing he was being so well taken care of while we were gone!

I highly recommend Matt! He was fantastic with our sometimes moody German Shepard. In addition, he was extremely clean while in our home and communication was excellent. We will absolutely use Matt again in the future!!

Matt house sat with our dog Alfie for 2 weeks and kept him active with long walks, runs and trips to the beach. Alfie liked Mike as soon as he met him. Mike kept our home clean and even took care of the garden. We hope he'll be available next time we travel.

Matt is an animal lover, as we'll as an outdoor enthusiast. This combination makes him ideal for dog walking. Your pet will be in safe hands, and no doubt, look forward to his visits.
