About Matilde D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am unable to care for pets in my own home but in my client’s home I make sure their pets feel loved, safe, and comfortable. I always follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including things like their feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any house rules the client has. I take my time getting to know your pet’s personality and comfort level so I know how much attention they enjoy. I pay close attention to any changes in behavior and send regular updates so you know your pet’s happy while you’re away. Also, very importantly, I like to have a good rapport with the owner and maintain a clear line of communication throughout so everyone is informed and comfortable.
Information Matilde D. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know their health needs, personality, and daily routine. This includes allergies, medications, medical conditions, and how they are around other animals and people. It’s also important for me to know of any house rules like off-limit areas and general preferences. Lastly, I need to have clear instructions and expectations from the owner and emergency contacts.
A typical day
I love to keep pets entertained both mentally and physically. I’ll make sure they get lots of attention, playing, and walking (the dogs), and have bonding time together.

Tufts grad student and animal lover
Pet care experience
I’m a very observant and caring person, so I’m quick to notice if something is wrong or someone needs extra attention. I genuinely love animals and getting to know their personalities and quirks is my favorite part of caring for them. We had a family dog when I was little and I helped care for him. Last summer, I spent two months dog-sitting and walking a sweet 9-year-old lab and will be going back to dog sit her this summer. As for cats, I’ve had cats in the home for as long as I can remember. I had my own soul kitty from the ages of 6 to 19 and I like to think we grew up together. More recently, I have cat sat three cats for a week and I’m currently cat sitting another lil guy. I’d be super happy to meet your cat or pup!

Reviews

Matilde was so sweet and amazing with our dog Bruno! She made feel very comfortable!

Matilde took great care of our cat while we were away!! She was very responsive and sent tons of updates with pictures. I would absolutely recommend her!

Matilde was a fantastic cat sitter for our 4 year old cat. She was prompt, communicative, responsive, and clearly very comfortable with cats. We will happily book her to cat sit again in the future!

Matilde was an amazing cat sitter! Our cat was left in good hands with her. She provided great photos, was very communicative, and gave our girl all the love :) Would highly recommend Matilde, we’ll definitely be looking to use her again!
