About: I’ve raised my own dogs from puppy age and am very patient whether it be a new puppy or an older senior dog that needs extra help. I myself have a senior dog that can’t walk far but am able to observe if she needs a break. Im at work from 7-3:30 M-F I can stop before and after work and before bedtime depending on location. I do have my own dog at home I will need to let out. I prefer the check in service because I believe animals do better with less stress in their own homes. I will make sure all accidents if any happen and that they have plenty of food and water if needed. Dogs need to use restroom throughout the day and without check ins they can hurt themselves holding in their bladder.

About: I've experienced with most kind of animals and have a vet technician certificate for both large and small animal. I work with money animals and there's not much that will scare me off <3 I'm fresh out of college and I'm available almost always, I genuinely feel like taking care of animals is a reward rather than a chore, Please tell me even if your creatures are weird little stick bugs, birds Or a kangaroo! For whatever animal you have please inform me in advance of behaviors that I might need to keep an eye on or if they have medical needs or just general needs. If you have a cat who's a Maine Coon that needs a lot of brushing but is sassy when getting brushed I would like to know in advance. I will not discriminate even if your pet may be a bit aggressive to new people I just want to know for everyone's safety going into this and to ensure your pets have the best experience possible. Frequent bathroom breaks are given however if your animal has different dietary needs I would also like to know that. I'm well aware that some animals may not get along with one another while eating even if they get along fine during the day and I am also aware that some may eat non-Stop with food in front of them and for that I would have to limit their food to meal times. Everything I ask is for the welfare of your pets.
“So incredibly thankful for the kindness and care given to a cat that doesn’t like anyone. You must have great energy that she even came out to say hello! And the kindness towards the strays that I feed. So grateful. 💕”

“Madison went above and beyond taking care of my dogs. She kept in contact with me, sent pictures and updates. I knew my girls were in good hands with her. We will deffenitly use Madison again in the future.”


About: I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, low energy, timid or anxious. Experience; many years of watching family and friends amazing pets. I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time for your pups! I’m available most weekdays early mornings, late afternoons and weekends anytime! While pet sitting I enjoy playing fetch and taking them for walks/runs. I give them one on one attention and make sure they are comfortable.
About: I treat every pet like family and understand that no two animals are the same. I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special medical needs. I’m trained in administering oral and injectable medications, and I’m patient, consistent, and attentive to behavior cues. I’ve also raised my own pets and cared for high-energy breeds that need extra playtime and structure. Whether your dog needs gentle care or active engagement, I tailor each visit to their comfort level and routine. Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening snuggles, I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. I love being active and outdoors, so daily walks and check-ins are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel comfortable—plus lots of snuggles and attention throughout the day. I stick closely to their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, and bedtime so they feel secure and at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions closely, keep things tidy, and send regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
