Ratings and reviews
Excellent dog sitter! Reliable, caring, and great with our Bailey. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and would definitely book again. Highly recommend!
Matthew looked after Curlie, our 10.5 yrs old golden retriever , for a week and it was a very good experience. She is not used to us going away so I was anxious about how she'd feel being left but it was clear that she had a lovely week with Matthew. He followed her routines carefully and took her on lots of walks she loves and clearly gave her attention and a sense of security. When we got home she was pleased to see us but basically relaxed and happy. While away he sent us details of their walks and pictures of her which were very reassuring. I strongly recommend Matthew and am grateful for how he looked after our lovely Curlie. .
Both dogs loved Matt by the end of the day, very calm aura!
We hadn't used Rover before but we had a good experience. Matt made the effort to come across and meet us and the dogs in advance of our trip. He sent us a couple if updates whilst away and the dogs seemed content when we returned home. Matt washed and dried the bedding and towels he used so we didn't have to do that on pur return which was thoughtful. He left the house clean and tidy too. Matt is a safe pair of hands for your d9gs and house. Recommend
After feeling anxious leaving my dogs for a week, I was soon reassured. I had daily updates from Matthew and I knew my dogs were really looked after and cared for. We will definitely be using Matthew again. Thank you so much ☺️
Matthew looked after our Romanian rescue Basil while we were on holiday for 10 nights and we cannot recommend him enough. With Basil being a rescue dog and having a couple of anxieties it’s always a worry to ensure the correct understanding of care is given but this was no issue for Matthew. He came and met Basil a couple of times before the holiday and spent some time alone with him on a walk which we were really happy with and appreciated him going this extra mile. While away Matthew gave us regular updates and sent us photos of Basil. The house was as we left it on our return. We wouldn’t hesitate in using Matthew again and we certainly will do again in the future. Excellent care and Basil seemed very happy 😊

I work for a charity, supporting people affected by cancer. Working just 3 hours a day, from my laptop, i am often able to accommodate your schedule. I am able to offer drop in service local to swindon and house sitting further afield.
