about Katie outen

Hi my names Katie, I’m currently living in Hove and have 2 years experience working with rescue dogs at Dogs Trust, where I have learnt about care, behaviour, handling, enrichment and nutrition. I’ve worked with all breeds, shapes and sizes, as well as a variety of age groups. I have worked with all dogs with a variety of behavioural issues, such as reactivity, dog aggression, guarding, high-stress levels, anxiety and fear-based issues including handling issues. I’m very understanding of each dogs little quirks and want to carry on working with dogs no matter their wacky ways. Since moving to Hove in November I’ve missed canine companionship. I would love to build a lasting bond with your dogs and keep them happy and stimulated when you’re not available to do so. I look forward to meeting you and your dogs.

about lisa gibson

Lisa has a long experience working and owning dogs. She enjoys the outdoors and as a child had many animals including horses, chickens, cats and of course dogs.

Her first job after leaving school was working in a horse racing stables but a career change to veterinary nurse resulted in a big move to London for the next 7 years. During this time Lisa’s experience with, and love of, dogs quickly grew.

♥ dog walking Testimonial ♥

I’m so happy to have found ROODDOG – from the first point of contact Matt was communicative and forthcoming (meeting us the next day and Monty on his first walk the day after) and Monty LOVED his first walk with him. The icing on the cake is the Instagram stories of the dogs on the walk – when I’ve got a long day it’s so nice/comforting to log on and see Monty having a ball with his new pals and being made a fuss of. I’m so impressed with what Matt and his team offer! Would recommend to the moon and back.

♥ Dog Day Care Testimonial ♥

Matt ran a training session for dogs when my 8 year old shihtzu/Maltese cross Roxy, was about 2mths old and she has loved him ever since. We used day care at his previous employment and now I use him for weekend stays when I am away. I trust him implicitly and Roxy does too
I recommend ROODDOG for anything to do with dogs

Margaret Haswell -Dog Training and Daycare Brighton

♥ Dog Walking Testimonial ♥

Matt has been looking after my two spaniels for over a year now. Cannot recommend him enough! Always reliable. Excellent rapport with the dogs – they absolutely love him! It’s hard to tire out a young springer spaniel but Matt’s walks just do the trick. There is 100% trust in his professionalism. Plus he is constantly working on improving the experience for his clients – both dogs and their parents. GPS trackers were a brilliant idea!

Matthew Edward Rouse – Dog Walker Brighton

♥ Dog Walking Testimonial ♥

We have been using Rooddog since May this year and our black lab Wallace LOVES his walks with Matt. He is always eager to go and it is great to see the instagram videos of the walks. Matt has also done several sessions of effective training with Wallace and is always there for advice. Would recommend Matt and Rooddog to any dog owner and thank Anne for introducing us! x

Emma Forbes – Dog Walker Brighton

♥ Dog Training Testimonial ♥

We’ve only had one training session with Matt so far, but it was fantastic. He really took time to understand the issues and had great advice on how to deal with them. Easy and simple tricks but Matt was keen to ensure our dog remained a dog and not a robot! Would definitely recommend.

David Gray – Dog Training Brighton

♥ Dog Training Testimonial ♥

Absolutely fantastic help from Matt at RoodDog; gave me the confidence and tips to walk Henry my Springer off lead up on the downs without worry, and how to reinforce better behaviours. Training for me as much as for Henry. Thoroughly recommended. Henry is flying high now!!

Anthony Jackson-Stubbs – Dog Training Brighton

 

♥ Dog Walking Testimonial ♥

We love Rooddog and Matt and most importantly our cockapoo does too! Bonnie has been walking with Matt for 3 years and she absolutely adores him (sometimes a little bit too much!). He has also helped us with her training and he is very knowledgeable on that.
Matt is completely reliable, trustworthy and communicative; the little videos of his walks on Facebook and Instagram keep us entertained. I never have any worries when Bonnie is out with him.
I would recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for a superb dog walker. Thank you Matt!

Matt is an absolute dream and has become part of the family. He’s utterly reliable, trustworthy and communicative, and our dog is completely besotted with him. We are very lucky to have Matt! His daily videos are both fun and informative, and we’ve recommended him to many people both for walking and for training. On a scale of one to ten, we give him an 11.
