Pet care experience

Happy to help where I can!

I’ve grown up with dogs and have always been the one in the family who takes care of them. I raised two Labradors, Maisy and Maude, a mum and daughter, and was even there when Maude was born. I’ve recently moved out and don’t live with dogs anymore, which is why I’m here. I miss being around them and want to help people who need a reliable, easygoing sitter or walker. I’m calm, patient, and happy to follow whatever routine works best for your dog. I treat every dog with the same care I’d want for my own.

Our dog loves Matthew. They bonded straight away. He met all our dog’s needs and provided me and my husband with peace of mind that he was being well cared for. We would recommend Matthew to anyone. Thank you Matthew!

Will definitely have Matthew to do housesitting again. He's reliable and my pets adore him. I have no issues at all.

Schedule

I work full-time, but I’m home on Mondays and Fridays, which makes those days perfect for dog sitting while I work remotely. I’m also free most evenings during the week for walks, and I have good availability on weekends for both walking and sitting. Pet care fits in naturally around my schedule, and I really enjoy having that time with dogs—it doesn’t feel like a chore, it’s something I genuinely look forward to.

Safety, trust & environment

At the owner’s home, I follow their routine and make sure the dog feels comfortable and cared for. At my secure apartment, I take dogs out regularly for walks and breaks, keeping things calm and safe indoors.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping dogs happy and engaged, whether that’s going for walks and runs, playing fetch or tug-of-war, and exploring new parks. If they’re social, I’ll make sure they get the chance to meet other friendly pups too. And of course, there will be plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, and quiet time so they feel comfortable and cared for.

Matthew can host up to 1 pet per night
I always appreciate knowing as much as possible about a dog’s routine, needs, and personality ahead of time. Whether your pup is a playful, high-energy puppy who needs lots of activity and attention, or a senior dog who prefers a gentler pace with plenty of rest and comfort, I can adapt to their individual needs. Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements, quirks, or behaviors I should be mindful of so I can make their time with me as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.
