Pet care experience
I have had dogs continuously for 30 years, at all stages of life. - raised and trained four puppies, so I am happy to continue or implement any training you want. Also happy to get up in the night for toileting if necessary. - I’m fit and love exploring new areas, so happy to take dogs on nice long walks. I also have a good throwing arm for dogs obsessed with balls. - I’m patient and happy to take my time with senior/nervous/special needs pets. My philosophy is that bites and scratches are my fault for not doing something the way your pet wants it done. I love all animals equally, and have had the privilege to care for several cats, too :)
Reviews
Matthew was a thorough professional. He is a compassionate and kind person and I could see he loves taking care of dogs. He put me and my pet at ease straight away and kept me updated while I was away. The home was immaculate and clean when I returned as well. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Matthew for anyone looking for a house sit.
Absolutely wonderful. We were nervous as we had never used a dog sitting app before but Matthew was just amazing. He came to meet us and our dogs prior and made us feel so confident and calm. Our girls absolutely loved him and we were so grateful for all of his fantastic photo updates! He took great care of our home too, looking after the plants as well as the dogs! We've already rebooked his services for next time which says it all. Thank you so much Matthew, we are so grateful :)
Reliable!
Matthew was great and reliable! He made sure to spend some time getting Bruno comfortable and familiarise with him during the first walk. Looking forward to more walks.

Safety, trust & environment
I understand how important routine can be, especially when change occurs (such as you going away and/or meeting a new person!) so I will do my utmost to maintain those routines. I also understand how stressful it can be to leave your baby with someone you don’t know, so I’m happy to come meet you first if feasible, or at the very least do a video call. Don’t worry if your instructions are 10 pages long - I’ve had sitters too, I get it :)

Information Matthew M. would like to know about your pet
Of course it’s helpful to know if your dog has any special needs in advance, but equally don’t feel bad if you want to leave a set of instructions as long as your arm. Every dog has their own quirks, routines, and needs, and I want to keep them as happy as possible in your absence!
A typical day
I love exploring new locations, so I will happily take dogs on nice walks in your nearest (or next nearest) wooded park. I also have a fantastic arm for ball throwing. Basically, I like to get them tuckered out in the day so that they’re nice and subdued in the evening. If they want to cuddle in front of the tv then that is a big bonus!

Availability
I am self-employed and work from home, so I am very flexible with how/when I do my work. Basically, I work around a pet’s routine!
