Your Pet’s New Favorite Sitter

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 (;! I live just blocks from the OB dog beach so if you want to give your pup a little beach vacation while your away to play in the waves and make new friends, I’m your girl!

Matilda was amazing with our dog, Biscotti, especially during a crazy winter storm. When our flight was canceled, she kindly stayed an extra night without hesitation. She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of him. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with her again!

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!

Schedule

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 my masters & am currently in the job market I and am (f)unemployed & can guarantee your pets 24/7 attention and affection!

Safety, trust & environment

I 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. At my home, with the dog beach being just 2 blocks away, daily beach time is guaranteed as well as tag alongs with me into town to grab food or coffee!

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.
