About Matthew

My name is Matthew and I've lived in Galway all my life. Animals are my life, especially dogs and I have always been around them and through that have a great knowledge base on dogs behaviour and needs both physical and mental. From separation anxiety to nervous bladders, over abundance of energy to couch potatoes I can cater to all types of doggo! Even the cranky ones 😂🙈I also have a love for the outdoors, so I'm always out exploring with my own pack Pixie, Willow, Loki and Nero. I walk/sit dogs because let’s face who doesn’t like hanging out with dogs all day 😂 It’s the worlds best job. I’m fairly experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and have quite a bit of walled in land for a bit of run time that all my doggos seem to enjoy after a good walk! I offer a home boarding service where your dog becomes part of the family and receives one on one attention and care around the clock or if it suits better house calls can be arranged! I live on an old farm with over 90 acres of secure woodland, meadows and even a river for the doggos to enjoy and in the evenings they’d be enjoying Netflix’s finest chilling on the couch.I have 4 dogs of my own but to keep it safe I don’t usually mix them with guest dogs in order to ensure both sides are always happy! Plenty of space to do so so it isn’t an issue at all. I also can cater towards your doggos feline, reptilian or small furry siblings if needs be! Looking forward to meeting your furry friends 🐶 ✌️

Matthew walked Chum daily x 3 weeks and also played the ball with him whilst out. Chum absolutely loves Matthew, he is overcome with excitement when he sees him coming. Matthew gives him all his attention; it’s clear that he loves dogs and enjoys being with them. Chum gets a great walk/ exercise and he is full of glee when he gets back. He has found a new friend in Matthew - and we hope to continue the service

I left our one year old Jack Russell with Matthew recently and was a bit nervous as it was our first time to leave him anywhere. Anyway no need for worries, Matthew was so kind and our Bono had a great time and the fields around Matthew's house are doggie heaven. If I need a dog sitter in the future I will be going straight back to Matthew

Matthew was friendly and looked after Doug well. He eased him into his home life and settled him really well. The updates on adventures throughout his stay was also very welcome. I would highly recommend Matthew's services and will be back in the future
