Availability
I’m very flexible with my schedule and understand that every owner’s routine is different. Whether you work late, have a busy family life, or just want your dog to get some fresh air after dinner, I’m happy to help. I’m available for evening walks and late drop-ins, so your dog can enjoy the exercise and attention they need - even outside typical daytime hours. My goal is to make things easy and stress-free for you, knowing your pet is in safe, caring hands no matter the time of day.

About Matthew B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I make sure each dog is always securely on lead, and I only walk in safe, dog-friendly areas like local parks, quiet paths, or open spaces away from traffic. I never mix dogs from different households unless owners are comfortable and the dogs are well matched.
Home
Information Matthew B. would like to know about your pet
Every dog is different, so I like to know as much as possible before we start — their favourite toys, walking speed, how they react to other dogs, and any training cues you use. It helps me make the walks consistent with how you do things at home, so your dog feels totally at ease.
A typical day
My days usually start with morning walks in local parks and quiet routes where dogs can explore safely. I like to keep a calm, positive routine so dogs know what to expect each day. Between walks, I take time to play, give cuddles, and make sure they feel happy and relaxed. If they enjoy toys or light training, we’ll add that in too. My goal is to make each walk or visit enjoyable and stress-free — a mix of fun, fresh air, and reassurance while their owner’s away.

Active, Reliable Dog Walker in Dinas & Penarth
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Matt - your local dog walker covering Dinas Powys, Penarth, and Cardiff Bay. I’m outdoors-loving, reliable, and love keeping dogs active, happy, and well-exercised. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll through Cosmeston Lakes or a good run along the Penarth seafront, your dog will get plenty of attention, fun, and exercise. I offer flexible walks to fit around your schedule - mornings, lunchtime, or after work - and I always send updates and photos so you know your dog’s had a great time. If you’re looking for a friendly, trustworthy walker who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs (and being outdoors in all weather!), I’d love to help.

Reviews
Huge thanks to Matt for giving Ruby, our 8 month red fox retriever, the best day... He stepped in very last minute but was so reassuring and generally helpful and Ruby loved him and his immaculate house/garden. Ruby was with him and wife from 8.30 until 8 pm so long day for all. Could not have been more pleased and will definitely book again.
Matthew is a trustworthy and reliable person to look after your pup. He was available on short notice and we will definitely be booking him again!
Tess had a wonderful time with Matt, and came home happy and chilled. Matt sent lots of pics/vids of Tess chasing balls in his lovely garden, which was very reassuring, and gave regular updates to calm any worry I might have as this was Tess’ first stay away since I have had her. It was a very positive experience and I hope Matt will be able to fit Tess in again very soon for another stay.
I always use Matthew to look after my cat Voukie whenever I go away. Vouk tends to let people know if he doesn't like them (same as most cats I suppose), but he definitely loves a fuss from Matt. Additionally, Voukie has cat asthma, and Matt has always been great when it comes to monitoring Vouk's flare ups and giving him his inhaler. Matthew is professional and punctual and I personally wouldn't use anyone else. Most of all, Voukie feels at home with him, when I'm not there - and that's all I can ask for.
