Pet care experience
Since I came in the USA one year ago I volunteer for the Humane Rescue Alliance as a dog walker at the shelter, foster family and adopt events dog handler. I like to work with pets there and try to make them feel a bit more happier by giving them all the kindness that I can ! With my husband we fostered for the Humane Rescue Alliance 3 dogs for 1 month and a half at all before they have been adopted. We had 2 pits (9 and 11 months) and 1 poodle (11 years, the one on my profile picture). It is always a heart breaking when we have to say goodbye but we keep in touch with the new parents to see how things are going in the new family. We realy care a lot about our foster dogs ! They become for 1 week or more like ours... What we like most to do with dogs ? - to play with them in the dog park with a ball or just look at them playing together. They are so funny ! - to pet them while watching a movie :-P - to go for a long walk in Rock Creek Park and enjoy the nature together Since we were childs we always loved dogs. I had 2 and my husband had one. We come from France and Switzerland, French part. In my country, I'm a librarian for the children area and my husband is a researcher in neuroscience, in Washington DC he works at the NIH. I'm only working as a dog walker (etc.) on Rover, so I'm at home a lot of time especialy during the afternoon :-) I sometimes will have to leave for dog walking or feading cats but that's for only 40-45 minutes. I also have english lessons through monday to thursday, between 10 to 1 pm (it's 6 minutes from my home). When I'm at home with a dog I love to play, do some training and snuggle on the sofa while I'm reading, watching movies or knitting. During the day, I will go many times with him to the dog park in front of the building if he likes it or make walks in the neighborhoodor and sometimes a long one in Rock Creek Park ! We have a dog bike trailer, so, if your dog is use to it, we can go enjoy a bike trip for a few hours :-P

We simply cannot say enough about Matilde. She was our dog walker for 3 months until one of us acquired the means to stay home. Matilde was like a member of our family in the way that she helped us with Poe especially when we first got him. Poe would just light up whenever they went out and explored together. We will definitely be working with Mathilde when we need a dog sit!
Mathilde is amazing! My dog Yaku has stayed with her during the day a couple of times, and yesterday over the night. She took great care of my dog who has a mild separation anxiety. She is very responsive and kept me updated on his walks and playtimes throughout the day. I highly recommend Mathilde's daycare and boarding services.
Mathilde was incredible! Ernie clearly loved his time with her. She sent photo updates every hour and clearly loves pets. Ernie took to her immediately! Will definitely use again and highly recommend!
Mathilde is a dream to work with! She has been so attentive to our Poe and he is so happy to see her every day. We can't recommend her highly enough!

A typical day
We will go to the dog park if the owner is ok with it. There is a very good dog park in front of our building in Dupont Circle. We can also go in the meridian park neer where we live. And we can also walk in the streets and enjoy walking and seeing people around.
