For Backend Module You can try keeping this files

app/code/local/Matrid/Feedmanager/etc/config.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>

Magento 1.8 – Admin Personal Module Routes Failed

This should be adminhtml below routers and not configsliders in your config.xml.

<admin>
    <routers>
        <adminhtml>                               
            <args>
                <modules>
                    <Namespace_Configslider after="Mage_Adminhtml">Namespace_Configslider_Adminhtml</Namespace_Configslider>
                </modules>                                
            </args>
        </adminhtml>
   </routers>
</admin>

Also, I'd recommend this guide.

Updated answer based on new info.

Without re-creating the entire module, this is what I changed to get the admin page to show up and not 404. I substituted the namespace for my testing so you will need to change that. You should be able to take it from here.

Pay close attention to the order of the namespace_extensionname in the config edits, these are important.

Admin Grid View Not Working in Magento – Custom Module Fix

I cant see any menu codes here. So provide us with adminhtml.xml if any.

However I will give you my random thoughts here. Your admin route is setup like this.

 <routers>
    <pets>
        <use>admin</use>
        <args>
            <module>Ffriends_Pets</module>
            <frontName>pets</frontName>
        </args>
    </pets>
</routers>

What this do is setuping an admin router for your module. It has no problem as of now. But this will leads all of your module's url (admin side) looks like this

  www.domain.com/pets/controller/method

But if you have a look on all of admin urls, it follows this convention

  www.domain.com/admin/controller/method

If you need the same effect, then you need to change your admin router setup like this.

<admin>
    <routers>
        <adminhtml>
            <args>
                <modules>
                    <ffriends_pets before="Mage_Adminhtml">Ffriends_Pets_Adminhtml</ffriends_pets >
                </modules>
            </args>
        </adminhtml>
    </routers>
</admin>

Second point comes in layout xml file. As per your current configuration, your layout xml file looks good. However if you adopt the method that I put forward, then there is slight change comes in layout xml file. Layout handle that you are currently using pets_adminhtml_pets_index will change to adminhtml_pets_index. This is because instead of pets router configuration now we are using adminhtml router configuration which is defined inside the core module Mage_Adminhtml.

Now as per the layout xml and configuration, there should be a controller present in your module. It would be

File : app/code/local/Ffriends/Pets/controllers/Adminhtml/PetsController.php

<?php
class Ffriends_Pets_Adminhtml_PetsController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action
{
     public function indexAction()
     {
         $this->loadLayout();
         $this->renderLayout();
     }
}

Without this controller, nothing is going to show in admin side.

Side Note :- In order to have a custom menu, you need additional configurations. It will be normally do in adminhtml.xml file. There are plenty of tutorials available outside for set uping a menu. So google it.
