About Matilda

Hi, I’m Matilda and I’m a second-year post-graduate veterinary student at the University of Bristol, having completed my undergraduate in Zoology at Exeter.

I am a lifelong animal lover and have owned pretty much every pet under the sun (much to my parents’ dismay!). I have owned, trained and loved my own Rhodesian Ridgeback from puppy to the end of his days a couple of years ago, so I am no stranger to larger dogs.
 
Moreover, I have a wide range of pet-sitting experience, having undertaken a considerable amount of pet sitting and walking over the last year alongside my studies, with fantastic feedback from owners (testimonials available on request).
 
Over the past year I have looked after multiple cats and dogs from mastiffs to chihuahua, puppies to older dogs as well as lots of rescues with reactivity issues. I understand that every animal has different needs and I’m well equipped to deal with these.
 
More than anything, I am a complete animal lover and take a huge amount of pride and enjoyment from caring for all animals, and you can be sure to receive lots of pictures of what I get up to with your pet!
 
On top of this, I have babysitting and a wide range of other work experience, this combined with my position as a vet student hopefully demonstrates professionalism, integrity and a genuine understanding of the importance of the happiness and welfare of your pet.
 
I’m moving home over the summer (to south London/surrey area) and hope to continue my pet sitting there.

Matilda was amazing looking after my very anxious Labrador who we had never left before, for one week. From the outset she was responsive in her communication and very patient in understanding the needs of my dog including coming to meet them in their own environment first, and was completely accommodating in this regard. I received updates through messages and pictures within hours of dropping off and throughout the week, which completely put us at ease and it was very clear that Matilda and her wider family were taking very good care of our Lab and understood how to handle anxious dogs. I very much appreciated Matilda asking my permission to look after another dog for one night during our dog’s stay, which showed how much she genuinely cares about the pets in her care. I have no hesitation in recommending Matilda and will definitely use her services again. Thank you Matilda!
