Your Pet’s New Favorite Sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my whole life and truly believe every home is better with a four-legged best friend. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and have experience with walking, feeding, grooming, giving medicine, and of course, giving lots of love. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters in both Pittsburgh and Chicago, working with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Taking care of pups fills my heart—I guess you could say I’m just in need of some puppy love (;!

She did a great job with a high energy and sometimes difficult to control pup. Would recommend to others and will be looking to book her again for future trips!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matilda was absolutely wonderful with our babies! They were kind, reliable, and clearly cared for our pups like their own. We came back to 4 happy and well-cared-for pups—couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

treat every pet like they’re my own. In your home, I make sure to stick to your pet’s usual routine and respect your space. I keep things clean, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I focus on creating a calm and happy environment while you're away.

Information Matilda D. would like to know about your pet

Any behavioral things are important or anxieties of any kind I would ask to be aware of prior. I would also like to know if a dog has any allergies.

A typical day

It really depends on what your pet loves. I’m always up for long walks, playing fetch, exploring parks, or just hanging out and giving belly rubs. Whether they’re energetic or more relaxed, I’ll match their vibe and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you're away.

Pet care has been an aspect of my life as long as I can remember as growing up we had 3 crazy (lovable and amazing) dogs in our house. Pet care is normality. Moreover, as I just finished university and am (f)unemployed currently, I can guarantee your pets full attention and affection!
