Teddy & Friends is a licensed and insured pet care company focused on your pet's health and well-being. In addition to traditional dog walks and pet-sitting, we provide a range of veterinary support services, and special occasion dog adventures.

Prior to launching Teddy & Friends, Teddy's mom, Diane Matcheck, managed the Guide Dogs for the Blind Veterinary Financial Program for five years, worked as a small animal veterinary technician, managed a 72-stall horse boarding facility, and was a solo caretaker of a horse farm. Her personal pets have included cats, dogs, bunnies, chickens, parakeets, and fish. Currently the animals in her life are her fluffy white dog, Teddy, her fluffy black kitty, Newfie, and a variety of tropical fish & snails.

Diane is also a writer. Her first novel, The Sacrifice, was published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux. At the moment she is working on a memoir “by” her previous dog, Lucky.
