Teddy & Friends is a licensed and insured pet care company started by Teddy's mom, Diane Matcheck, and focused on your pet's holistic well-being. In addition to traditional dog walks and pet-sitting, we offer assistance with veterinary concerns.

Prior to launching Teddy & Friends, Diane managed the Guide Dogs for the Blind Veterinary Financial Program for five years, worked as a small animal veterinary technician, managed a large horse boarding facility, and was the solo caretaker of a horse farm. Her personal pets have included a cat, dogs, bunnies, chickens, parakeets, and fish. Currently the animals in her life are her fluffy black kitty named 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.
