Safety, trust & environment

I have a large garden but it isn't completely fenced and I am next to a 60mph road. For dogs, I can keep them on the lead if they need to go outside. I live in the countryside so there are an abundance of walking routes around here to keep them entertained. Within my house, your pet can treat it as there own! Ideally they would be house trained but they can sit on the sofas if they wish or on the beds, I'm not too fussy! I don't have any animals of my own currently so yours will have my undivided attention! As for the care within your own home, I will keep to any rules and routines you have for your pets.

Matthew L.'s Neighborhood

Genuine animal lover

Pet care experience

I've had animals around me my entire life, growing up with numerous dogs and cats, as well as fish, ferrets, chickens and hamsters! I definitely get my love for animals from my mum who is an animal rescuer in the South East. As well as owning cats in my adult life, I've done some volunteer dog walking in the local area, pet sitting for friends and family and some professional pet sitting in New Zealand. I don't have any particular training or senior care experience but if you would like a trustworthy person to provide some companionship for your pets and to take them out for walks, then I would love to. I do work work full-time (Monday-Friday), so I wouldn't be able to provide day time services in these hours.

Matthew was great, he helped me out last minute, but still found time to come and meet them before hand. He was looking after my two for the whole weekend, left my house clean and tidy and he sent messages.

Matt is personable, reliable & trustworthy & our dog Bella took to him immediately. I would recommend him as a walker or sitter, your pet will be in safe hands!

Yet again Matthew came and looked after Sid while we went on our holiday. Yet again came home to a clean and tidy house and a very happy Sid. I cannot recommend Matthew highly enough. He is always my go to when I need a sitter for Sid. Very happy 😊

This is the third time I've used Matthew to stay at my house to look after my little boy Sid. Matthew will be my first port of call the next time I need a dog sitter. I always come back to a clean house and a very happy dog. Would highly recommend 👌
