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 have just moved to Cheltenham and hope to continue my pet sitting/walking here!

Matilda looked after our dog brilliantly. He had a wonderful time. He was very settled with her. I can't recommend her enough!

Matilda was amazing with my dog, Otis! She was so welcoming and kept me up to date at all times.

She treated Otis with so much love and I felt 100% comfortable knowing he was ok. Matilda is a lovely girl and will treat your dog like her own 🐾
