Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced garden and home with areas that can be closed off for safety and cleanliness. I believe in positive reinforcement with respect for space and building a bond with individual animals.

I could not recommend Matt enough, he was absolutely brilliant with Sherlock and went way beyond what I expected. Matt showed Sherlock so much kindness and Sherlock clearly had a wonderful day. You can be absolutely confident and content with Matt, he’s a very safe, thoughtful sitter.

Matthew was accommodating to look after Innes my mini schnauzer in a short notice booking. He was friendly and easy to communicate with from booking and throughout her stay. Innes came home happy and had lots of beach playtime during her stay. I’m sure when I need a dog sitter again she’ll be happy to see him again.

Matthew did a great job looking after Ted for the night . I was anxious to leave him especially as not fully potty trained . Thank you will definitely use him again

Matt is fantastic with my dog, Monkey. Monkey is usually quite a quiet and shy pup, but he’s always completely at ease around Matt. Plus Matt's a lovely, caring person, who I have total confidence would take excellent care of anyone’s furry friend. 100% recommended!

I can’t recommend Matt enough as a dog walker! He has a calm, reliable nature that puts dogs at ease right away, and he genuinely cares about giving them a fun, safe experience. Matt is dependable, punctual, and communicates clearly, which gave me total peace of mind. He treats every dog as if it were his own, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who really understands and enjoys working with dogs, Matt is the perfect choice!
