Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable dog sitter/walker
I've helped to raise several dogs (Husky, Golden Retriever and Labrador) from pups into adulthood which has equipped me with an abundance of experience at the different stages of development. I understand the different requirements of dogs and the attention and amount of exercise they need. I currently sit for my sisters Golden Doodle and my friends Staffy when needed and honestly love doing it. If your dog is more of a senior citizen, I am more than happy to give them a little walk around the block and spend some time with them to keep them company whilst you are out.

Ratings and reviews
Matt was great with our dog diesel. Diesel took to him right away and they had a nice few hours together. Would definitely ask Matt to dogsit again.
Thanks Matt, Leo, Lola, Dylan and Daisy we’re happy to see you again much appreciated, will definitely book you again
Matthew looked after Ted when we were at a wedding. He was punctual and trustworthy, and had a lovely relationship with Ted !
Matt was great. Really good with Monty- nice relaxed manner. He was flexible and communicated with regular updates throughout the day. Would definitely work with Matt again and recommend to others.
Matthew is always really professional and Rusty was a happy boy when we got back.
Matthew is a great communicator and made the effort to come and meet Cherry before the sit, which was highly professional and very appreciated. Matthew was punctual, and bonded quickly and incredibly well with Cherry. Everything went perfectly well with the sit and I would not hesitate to highly recommended Matthew.

Schedule
I work 9-5 through the week but it’s a hybrid role so I am at home on 2-3 days too. I am usually free for large parts of the day on weekends also. Feel free to send me a message for any questions.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I’ve had many dogs at my house and ensure a safe environment for them. I would also treat your home as if it was mine and leave everything where it needs to be (if boarding). With regards to walking, I'd literally be in to collect your dog and straight out on a walk.
A typical day
I love playing with dogs so that could be with their favourite toy or ball, ensuring they are stimulated. With regards to the walk, I like big spaces like parks and green areas where your dog can play and meet other dogs and roll around in the grass. If you are ok with them being let off the lead, I also usually take a ball or end up running myself, letting the dog chase me and engaging in fun. That being said, I can also do more local depending on where you live, taking your dog into the local coffee shop, meeting new people and other dogs; general socialising.

- I favour mid-sized to bigger dogs but as mentioned in my profile, I do like small dogs also. I lived in my friends house for a year and he had a little Boston Terrier who was great! I'd appreciate if you let me know if your dog was in season (if female) and if they didn't like certain breeds etc. I'd also appreciate you letting me know whether they can be off the lead in open spaces (away from any roads of course).
