Information Matisa U. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know their personality, eating habits and if they have anxiety. I’d also like to know sleeping habits. It would be great to have a timeline of their day.

A typical day

I play with dog puzzles, light play such as running in the yard and fetch. I like to do what the animals enjoy doing. It depends on what they are in the mood for.

This was my second time booking with Matisa, and once again she did an amazing job caring for my dog! She was communicative throughout the stay and sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy and well cared for, and it was obvious she was in good hands. It’s clear that Matisa genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and I always feel confident leaving my dog with her. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!

Matisa went above and beyond to settle nerves and give us peace of mind. She had great communication and helped when plans changed. She and her family were generous with love and kindness to my dogs and cat. Matisa is highly recommended

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Matisa was professional, reliable, and genuinely cared about my dog. Matisa provided regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was happy, well cared for, and received plenty of attention and affection. I came home to a relaxed, healthy pup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Matisa again. Highly recommend Matisa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!
