Max has loved staying with Matilda this week. Matilda has been absolutely brilliant with him. Meeting up beforehand and keeping us so well in touch whilst we were away. This was the first time we have left him with someone like this but I wouldn’t hesitate letting him stay again.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 09, 2026

Matilda and their partner were so friendly and lovely to deal with, and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout. Birdy was so settled with them. They took really great care of her and it was reassuring knowing she was in such good hands. I’d definitely recommend Matilda and will happily book again!

I would 100% book with Matilda again if I was back in Edinburgh. She sent me lots of pupdates, was really friendly and great communication. She made it easy to trust that your dog would be safe and well loved whilst you are away :).

Custard was very well looked after, I could tell from the photos and pupdates while I was on holiday that he was relaxed and treated like one of the family while you looked after him. Would happy book again in future and highly recommend. Thank you so much!

Schedule

I work from home every day, and have a very flexible schedule! I often have doggy day care dogs with me, and a flatmate and partner living with me, so there is always company around for your dogs!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a two bedroom flat on the third floor, where your pets are welcome to have free reign. Nearby we have multiple dog friendly parks, some with off leash areas where dogs would be safe to have more freedom during walks. House rules for pets on furniture or crate training are really flexible depending on what limits you would like for your own pets, and I will stick to your wishes on this 🤗

A typical day

I want to cater each day to each individual pet. For high energy pets I would take them on a big hike or be happy to spend a long time with them in the park throwing a ball! For low energy pets, an easy day at the local dog parks or at our local coffee shops would allow them to get out of the house and seeing and smelling new things!

Matilda can host up to 1 dog per day
I am currently not able to take reactive dogs, as I have doggy day care clients most days. If you need your dog to be the sole dog in the home, I am afraid I may not be the best carer at this time.
