Availability

I run my pet care business full time which gives me complete flexibility to prioritise the needs of the pets in my care. My schedule is built around them, allowing me to be fully present for walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply giving extra attention when it’s needed. I’m able to adapt each day to ensure every pet receives attentive, dependable, and personalised care.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and enriching home from home environment for pets by giving them plenty of space to explore, play, and relax. I live in a house with a secure garden, which provides a wonderful outdoor area. When caring for pets in their own home, I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, maintain a calm and familiar environment, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.

Information Matilde B. would like to know about your pet

It's really important for me to know as much as possible about your pet ahead of time so I can provide the best care. I like to learn about their routine, preferences, and any special needs they may have. I also ask about their behaviour, how they interact with other pets or people, and if they have any fears or anxieties. The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and safe while in my care.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I care for is focused on fun, enrichment and routine. I usually start with a morning walk. In the afternoon, we might head out for another outing, perhaps a visit to the beach, local woods, or simply more time outdoors exploring. Throughout the day, there’s always plenty of downtime for play, naps, treats and some cuddles. You’ll also receive regular photos and updates, so you can feel reassured while your pet is in my care. Each day is tailored to your pet’s individual needs and energy levels, making sure they get the right balance of physical activity, mental stimulation and rest.

Care That Feels Like Family

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Matilde, but you can call me Tilly. I’m French, Italian and grew up 50/50 in both countries. Now, I have my own pet care business (wagandwander). My heart is still deeply connected to the animals I grew up with. My childhood was spent on farms, surrounded by all kinds of animals - cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, llamas, sheep and many more! We dedicated many years to rescuing and caring for animals in need, and I learned the importance of kindness and responsibility in animal care. I am first aid trained and dog behaviour trained, ensuring your pets are cared for safely and with a strong understanding of their individual needs and behaviour. While I no longer have pets of my own in the UK, I miss having animals around and love taking care of friends’ and family’s pets whenever I can, I usually am the go to girl. I’d be thrilled to meet your furry family members!

Tilly is brilliant! I knew Indie would be safe and happy with her when he laid down at her feet so soon after meeting her and ignored me! It's great to have found someone so kind and capable - it meant we could relax and enjoy our holiday without worrying about Indie. I hope she will look after him again for us!

Tilly was fantastic with my lovely springer spaniel. Her communication is quick and clear and she clearly has a passion for our four legged friends - she really got to know him. Tilly looked after him during an extremely hot spell and kept him safe and happy whilst I was away.

Tilly was really good at getting back to messages, and communication was good when we were away with photos of doggie walks in all Flora’s favourite places. Flora was well looked after and settled after her first night. We will be using Tilly again.
