Highlights
Pet care experience
Available for ALL your dog needs!
I grew up with 2 wonderful dogs, who I still miss to this day (they never really leave you, do they?). I am extremely dog-centric; I say hello to all the dogs, I'm the first people friends call when they need a dog-sitter. I am an ace walker - your dog will get ALL the walks (if they need them!). I'm happy to care for all ages, breeds and sizes of hounds - not just happy, but honoured to!

Matthew also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
Matt and his partner Zoe took great care of our dog Lumi, they sent regular updates of what they were getting up to and kept Lumi busy and active. Matt and Zoe made Lumi a part of their lives for the 6 nights she was with them and it looked like she had a great time! Thanks.
Matt and Zoe had a wonderful care of our little dog. We were updated daily about his activities and I believe he became an even better dog with their care and stimuli. I strongly recommend them if you need someone to look after your dog. You won't be disappointed.
Excellent as always. My dog loves these guys which gives me complete peace of mind. Great service.
Great guys. Very good communication. Lots of photos. They took him everywhere they went. He came back to us calm and relaxed. Will definitely use again.
Matt and Zoe are the tag team of dreams. They had our show cocker Cassie for the first time this week and she just loved it there. She got some amazing walks, treats and lots of attention and by the time her daycare had come to an end, she sulked because she didn't want to leave! All the signs of a good experience. Zoe and Matt are really lovely, accommodating and were kind enough to let us visit them beforehand so we could see where she would be etc. communication was also top tier. Couldn't recommend them enough! ✨🥰
Very happy little dog, lovely videos of him on the beach

Schedule
I'm an academic that has just graduated with a PhD from Lancaster Uni. I do teaching here and there throughout the week, and in between I'm writing academic journal articles for publication. This means that I am free most of the week, and when not teaching at the uni I can work wherever I need to be!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I can stick to whatever guidelines or boundaries are set and I love long walks (or short walks if they only have little legs). I can't wait to meet your familiars!
A typical day
I love a long walk, so if there's time and they are up to it I'll be exploring all the local natural areas and spaces with your favourite pooch. I'll take with us their favourite toys and all the water and snacks they need to make their walks as enjoyable for them as it is for me. I also love to engage with the animals as much as they will allow me, playing with toys, learning new tricks, and if they're a regular with me I can even engage in some behavioral training (or not if they'd rather be left alone!).
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgMatthew can host up to 1 pet per night
- Let me know if your pet has any special needs ahead of time, and any careful instructions about administering medication. Also, please let me know any behavioral issues that your pet might have in advance, just so I can prepare accordingly.
