Stick Throwing Champ

I have grown up around dogs my whole life, until recently when our childhood dog passed. I’m still living at home with my family where our mum doesn’t want to get another dog, so please allow me to look after your dogs to remind her how great it is having a four-legged friend in the house.

Absolutely fantastic. It's easy to tell they all love dogs and my girl was super happy to stay with Matt and his family. Communication was just as I asked and they kindly looked after her, with the routine I asked for. Highly recommended dog boarders.

Met with Matthew prior to Koda’s stay and he was immediately at ease. When we dropped Koda off he was immediately welcomed by Matthew and his family and playing with his ball straight away. It was great to see that they respected that Koda couldn’t chase the ball like he would have liked as it does affect his arthritic legs. Would recommend Matthew as a sitter and would like to book him again if he was free 😃

Matthew was excellent with my dog, Luca. I immediately got a sense of calm when I went to visit before her stay which is important for her as she can be quite anxious, but I knew from then on that she would have the best time, especially when Matthew asked if she liked long walks. You can tell they are a family of genuine dog lovers and they went out of their way to make sure that Luca’s stay was as enjoyable as possible. I highly recommend Matthew!!

Schedule

I work part time, meaning I have plenty of free time to hang out, walk and do everything else in order to take care of your dog properly. My mum is also home all throughout the day, so your dog will always have company - someone to give them strokes and sneaky treats.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a grassy garden that is completely fenced off and no escape routes - that also has lots of room for chasing balls, rolling around or relaxing in the sun (if it ever comes out in miserable Manchester).

A typical day

I live right by the river mersey so every day would involve a lovely walk down the river or to a local park for a run around. Theres also plenty of space in our enclosed garden for games of catch for dogs that like bringing balls back!
