About Mat
From growing up with horses to caring for dogs, I've always lived with animals. My current lifestyle makes it difficult for me to have pets of my own as I occasionally travel for work, so I would love to have the opportunity to treat your pets as my own.

Each walk comes with complimentary obedience training/reinforcement; simple things like 'sit' and 'stay' commands which help build a bond between your pet and me.

Outside of Madpaws, I specialise in rehabilitating large dogs with aggressive tendencies, so rest assured, that no matter the size or nature of your pet, I'm confident that we can become friends.

(In most cases, I do not charge extra for multiple pets. There seems to be an error with Madpaws where the quote can sometimes be increased for multiple animals. If this occurs, I will manually fix this).

Mat is always delightful to deal with and accomodating with dates. Nox loves Mats visits and super happy to see him for a walk.

Dog Walking - Mar 15, 2024
We took our first trip away in many years. Our 2 standard poodles can both be quite difficult to handle and 1 does not take to meeting new people at all. On our first meeting, we were shocked to see our nervous boy looking relaxed and going to Mat for some pats (has never happened before) so we knew straight away Mat was a perfect fit. We can't recommend Mat enough. Thank you for everything Mat!
