Hi! I'm Mati. I'm originally from Italy and have been living in London for many years.

Animals have always been a huge part of my life. My mum regularly adopted stray dogs, so I grew up in a wonderfully busy household with up to 16 dogs at one point! Over the years, our family also cared for cats, hamsters, birds, and plenty of other furry (and feathered) friends—there was often one human for every three animals! Growing up in that environment taught me how to understand animals' different personalities and gave me plenty of hands-on experience caring for them.

I've also volunteered at an animal shelter, and I have to admit that I sometimes find myself going to the park just to say hello to and play with the dogs there!

I'm a university professor, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a range of pet care needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply some calm companionship, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after while you're away.

I'm happy to care for dogs, cats, and other small pets, and I'm always happy to discuss your pet's individual routine and needs in advance. 

I speak English, Italian, and Portuguese.

I can't wait to meet you - and, most importantly, your pets!
