About Matthew R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will always ensure gates are closed and locked before letting pets out as required. I will never let your pet off leash on a walk and will put myself between them and any potential threatening animals.
Information Matthew R. would like to know about your pet
It is important for me to know any allergies, injuries, and medications your pet currently has. This will ensure I don’t expose them to any potentially unsafe environments or items, as well as keep them on schedule for any medications they may be taking. Also, let me know their overall temperament and how well they respond to other people and dogs so that I can better gauge how they will interact with any dogs or people we come across on our walks and keep them separated if needed.
A typical day
I love playing a variety of games that stimulate your pets mentally and physically such as tug of war, hide and seek, and tag. I’ll ensure they have a chance to check our all the new smells they come across on walks, and get a lot of exercise by jogging alongside them and playing in any nearby green spaces or parks.

Pet care experience
My family has always had a pet dog growing up (American Miniature Eskimo and Irish Wheaton Terriers). I always enjoy taking my family dogs on walks around the neighbourhood, hikes in the forest, and to dog parks to play. I also worked in animal husbandry part-time for two years at a reptile conservation centre (Scales Nature Park) so I have lots of experience handling and caring for reptiles and amphibians. I also had a pet gecko.
Reviews
Excellent communication! Thanks Matthew.
Matthew was great with our big dog. He was very responsible and the dog loved him. Walk went well. We’ll absolutely use Matthew again and highly recommend his services.
