I’m currently job hunting, which means I have a flexible schedule and can easily work around you and your pet’s needs. I’m also a rower, so I tend to start my day quite early with training. I’m usually back home by around 8am and available for walks, drop-ins, or care from then onwards. If you do need earlier morning support, feel free to let me know as I may be able to adjust my training schedule where needed. Overall, I’m very adaptable and happy to build pet care into my daily routine in a way that works best for you and your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer home visits and dog walking. For home visits, I’m reliable and respectful. I have previous experience in both pet sitting and childcare, so I’m very comfortable being trusted in people’s homes. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away, sticking closely to their usual routine. For dog walking, I can collect and drop off your dog even if you’re not at home, making things as convenient as possible for you. I’m based on the south side of the river near Hammersmith Bridge, with access to beautiful towpath walks and plenty of green space - perfect for both relaxed strolls and more energetic runs. I always tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s exercise, feeding, playtime, or simply companionship. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in safe hands.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m originally from rural Suffolk, where I grew up surrounded by animals on our family smallholding - everything from dogs and cats to chickens, rabbits, and pigs. Looking after animals has always been second nature to me. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes (including giant breeds!) and helped raise 12 puppies, so I’m very comfortable with energetic, young dogs. I’ve also raised 5 kittens and am a proud cat mum to a Siberian here in my London flat. I’m just as happy caring for senior pets as I am lively ones. I’m patient, attentive, and understand the different needs that come with age - whether that’s slower walks, medication, or just a bit of extra TLC. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away.

Matilda has dropped in to check on my cat Rosa when I've been away with work. She is totally trustworthy and I have no problem in recommending her to help you with your animals. 10/10! I will be using her again, she is undoubtedly an animal lover who has their interests at heart.

Responsible & reliable. 'Princess' trusts Matilda as much as we do - and we always appreciate her little updates and photographs when we are away!

“I would 100% trust to look after my beloved French Basset again. Tilly came to our house to check and care for our dog. I trusted her completely and knew my Basset was in capable safe hands. Tilly is reliable and trustworthy and above all, loves animals. She is also fit and strong so your furry friend will received good exercise. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care and walk their animal .
