Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted Tail Wag Approved
TRUSTED BY MUTTLEYS DOGS! From a very young age, I’ve been the go to person for friends and family whenever their pets needed a little extra love and care. Whether it’s quick drop in visits, daily walks, or fortnight long stays, I’ve spent years building trusted bonds with dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. My passion for animals led me to complete a National Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management, giving me a strong understanding of animal behaviour, welfare and health. But beyond the qualifications, it’s the genuine joy I get from being around dogs that really sets me apart. I treat every animal like part of the family, making sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after while you’re away. Expect plenty of tail wags, playtime, cuddles and regular updates so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in great hands!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I make it a priority to keep everything as familiar and stress free as possible. I stick closely to your fur baby’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime and any specific instructions you provide, so they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, giving them plenty of attention, affection and reassurance while you’re away. Whether your fur baby loves energetic walks or prefers a more relaxed pace with lots of cuddles, I adapt to their individual personality and needs. I also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping things clean, tidy and secure at all times. You’ll receive regular updates, photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Absolutely brilliant Dogsitting! I highly recommend Matthew and Abi. They watched my very active Pomsky after a dogsitter cancelled with just 1 day notice - they saved the day!
So pleased we found Matthew! It was a last minute request, for a big job, and Matthew was absolutely stellar. We were leaving our 16 year old, very anxious dog for the first time in a really long time, and our 3 (yes 3) 10 week old kittens for the first time ever and Matthew felt like someone we could really trust to look after our crazy crew. No request was too much, and he did everything we needed. Matthew sent amazing photos all throughout his visit and gave us regular updates throughout the day which was greatly appreciated. We were totally relaxed for the two days Matthew was caring for our gang and we whole heartedly recommend his services. Thank you so much Matthew! From Maddie, Paul, Pixie, Ace, Six, and King!
Thank you for your professional support in taking care of Mantee. You have made him feel safe through your services. Definitely go back to you again in the near future!
Matthew stayed at my home to look after my dog and two budgies, and he was great. Really easy to deal with, kept me updated while I was away, and just made the whole thing feel very straightforward. My dog was clearly happy and well looked after, and the budgies were absolutely fine too, which was really important to me. It’s obvious he cares and takes things seriously. I also came back to a clean, tidy house, which I really appreciated. Would definitely recommend him and I’d happily have him back anytime.
I had a fantastic experience with Matthew, who stayed at my home for a week to look after my two dogs. From the start, he was reliable, communicative, and clearly very comfortable around animals. He took wonderful care of both dogs, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. It was obvious he genuinely cared about their wellbeing, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, he kept the house clean and tidy throughout his stay. I returned to everything in great condition, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring house and pet sitter, and I’d be more than happy to have him back again in the future.
Matt has a great love for animals and completed a level 3 diploma in animal management giving him a good background in animal care. He often looks after my ‘autistic’ cockapoo (who can be very challenging), understanding his anxiety and bringing out the best in him. Matt is fastidious in his cleanliness and tidiness. He is completely trustworthy and reliable, so home owners can be sure that their homes and pets are going to be well looked after and respected. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, as it’s something I genuinely love doing rather than seeing it as a task. I structure my days to ensure I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding and giving each pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop ins, or evening cuddles, I’m flexible and organised to meet each animals specific needs and routine. Because I prioritise reliability and routine, you can feel confident that your dog will be cared for on schedule, with lots of affection and attention built into every visit. My partner also has roughly 15 years of experience with looking after cats, dogs and reptiles, who may accompany me with some visits. She also has experience in sitting for medicated pets. Just for your peace of mind she’s loves every animal as if they are her own!
