Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I work from home and am on break from school until February. This gives me plenty of flexibility to offer drop-in services and provide your pets with the attention and care they need while you're away.

About Mattia B.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. For drop-in visits, I ensure your pet's routine is followed and that they’re in a safe, secure environment. I take extra precautions, especially with dogs, by making sure all cords and potential hazards are put up and out of reach to prevent any accidents. For dogs, I also provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and enrichment to keep them happy and engaged. If a situation arises where drop-ins are not sufficient and your cat needs boarding, I offer a peaceful, safe solution with my custom-built catio outside my patio. This enclosed space allows your cat to enjoy fresh air and a secure outdoor experience, while still being protected and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I am committed to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your pet.
Information Mattia B. would like to know about your pet
Before I care for your pet, it’s important to know a few key details to ensure I provide the best care possible: Routine & Preferences: Does your pet have any specific routines for feeding, playtime, or rest? What are their favorite activities or toys? Health & Special Needs: Are there any health conditions, medications, or dietary restrictions I should be aware of? How do they typically react to medication? Behavioral Traits: Does your pet have any behavioral quirks, such as fear biting, reactivity on walks, or any other triggers? How do they typically react to new people, pets, or situations? Are there any signs of anxiety I should watch for? Socialization: How do they interact with other animals and people? Do they have any preferences or dislikes when it comes to other pets or strangers? Emergency Contacts & Vet Info: Who should I contact in case of an emergency? Do you have a preferred veterinarian? House Rules: Are there any specific rules for your pet in your home (like areas they are or aren’t allowed to go)? Caring for Their Space: How do you like their environment set up, and are there specific items they enjoy or need around them (e.g., blankets, beds, favorite spots)? By understanding these details, I can make sure to provide a safe, calm, and enjoyable experience for your pet while you're away!
A typical day
I believe in keeping pets mentally and physically engaged, so I tailor activities based on each pet's preferences. For cats, I enjoy interactive play sessions using toys like feather wands, laser pointers, or puzzle feeders to stimulate their natural hunting instincts. I also ensure plenty of cozy snuggles or solo time in the catio, where they can watch birds or enjoy the outdoors in a secure space. For dogs, I love providing a mix of activities such as walks, fetch, or tug-of-war, depending on their energy levels. I’ll also create enrichment opportunities with puzzle toys or hide-and-seek games to challenge their minds. Additionally, I always make time for cuddle sessions, giving them the love and attention they crave. Whatever your pet’s personality, I’ll make sure they have a fun, safe, and fulfilling experience while in my care!
