Pet care experience

After years of dog sitting friends pups, Tony, my 2 year old Parson Terrier pounced into my life. Based beside a park and love the outdoors so forever clocking our steps in with other doggies/dog owners.

Matthew and Tony were excellent! Incredibly flexible with a short notice booking, early start time and a pick up time based on a hospital appointment. Trixie had a brilliant time, lots of running and playing chase. Matthew put her at ease really quickly and dealt with a sensitive dog really well. I would highly recommend Matthew, and I will 100% use him again.

Can’t thank Matthew (& Tony) enough for taking care of Betty and giving her a fun time. Will be booking again straight away!

Matt and Tony the terrier have looked after my schnauzer many times. Sometimes for a few hours, sometimes overnight and even for a few days. They’re out and about a lot as my dog likes his walks but equally they can chill if no one feeling it with bad weather outside. Tony is the friendliest beast you could ever meet and loves all other doggies. Highly recommend.

Matt looked after my 8 year old Goldendoodle Derek for a long weekend. He sent regular updates throughout and nothing was too much trouble. He took him on lots of walks with Tony which Derek loved. He was brilliant with Derek who can sometimes be a little timid and made sure he was comfortable throughout. Would recommend for walks or longer stays.
