My experience with dogs in the past makes me believe they are part of your family and you create a very close bond. I can cater for your dogs needs wether it be large or small, energetic or laid back/inactive. I’ve had a border collie and 2 King Charles cavaliers who sadly passed away and this service allows me to love and care for other dogs out there.

We couldn't be happier with the care Matt and his family gave Tilly during her 11 day stay. From the moment we met, we felt completely at ease, and throughout her stay we received regular updates, along with plenty of photos and videos, which was so reassuring. It was lovely to see how happy, relaxed and well looked after Tilly was. It was clear she was treated like one of the family and enjoyed every minute of her stay. We were able to enjoy our holiday knowing she was in such safe and caring hands. We wouldn't hesitate to use Matt again in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and professional dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Tilly! 😊

First time using Matt as a dog sitter and we couldn’t be happier! We received regular updates and lots of lovely photos throughout Molly’s stay, which was so reassuring. She looked like she was having a fantastic time and was clearly very well looked after. We’d definitely use them again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter

Matt was an absolute professional from start to end. He made me feel so relaxed about leaving my anxious dog with him and I knew from the original meet, through to the actual sitting that Marvin would be a happy boy with Matt. Regular photos were received and I think Marvin would have stayed with Matt if he'd had the chance! His family are lovely and they all helped make me feel confident in leaving my dog with them. Thank you Matt and family.

Schedule

With me and my wife Emma between us there isn’t a lot of times where we aren’t in the house for long periods and therefore will always have someone here 90% of the time. We are willing and can be as flexible as possible in order to suit you or work around your needs. My wife has condensed work days for childcare so works 3 evening shifts a week and one of those shifts will be either Saturday or Sundays when I’m always at home so very little time or occasions when your fur babies could actually be alone but if they were it would only be for short periods. Our son is now 4 years old and does love all the dogs that come to us but is not over bearing on them as he’s more interested in playing with his hot wheels cars or diggers!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a lovely home in Norton canes with a fenced garden which has Astro turf grass so no muddy paws! If walking your dog I’m on the doorstep of chasewater and other smaller parks which I also love walking my own dog. You can be rest assured I will never release any dog I care for off the lead.

Pets

A typical day

I live near chasewater so that’s a perfect place for a good walk and fresh air. Your dog will get plenty of fuss from me as I’m like a little kid at times I can’t get enough of them! If your dog is trained il happily play fetch and try to teach new tricks. We also every now and then will take the dogs to a nearby secure dog field so they can be let off the lead to have a good run and play for an hour.

I would just like to know your dogs temperament so I can act accordingly and be aware of any possible injuries or allergies. Also if they take any medications.
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.
