“Absolutely love them! We don't use a sitter often because Gypsy is a little high energy but they were great with her. Super cute pictures with updates, made sure she ate (which she doesn't do if she's stressed), and she got to play with Yoshi ❤ Will definitely be using them again!”

About: I absolutely love animals and have always had a passion for caring for them. I have a 11 year old Yorkie/ Silky Terrier mix. I also have experience with larger dogs in my family as well. I am eager to not only become your dog's caregiver but also a friend. I am experienced with special needs and physically handicapped dogs and can also administer medication. I will give extra attention and care to dogs who may have a disability or preexisting condition! I am available most weekdays and weekends and will adjust my pet care routine as needed based on your pet's age, health, and specific needs while remembering any special accommodations. Initially, I will meet with you to discuss your pets' needs, routines, and any special requirements. I will also make sure to get detailed instructions on feeding and medication. Please make sure to leave information about your dog's veterinarian and an also provide an emergency contact.

Please be aware that I also utilize GPS tracking on my phone and car, along with a dashcam!** Hi, I’m Maddy, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to care for your beloved pets! With over a decade of experience working with a wide variety of animals, I bring knowledge, dedication, and a deep passion for providing exceptional care. About Me As of February 2025, I am 25 years old and currently pursuing a degree in agriculture operation and technology, as well as political science, and psychology. I have been blessed with a lifelong passion for animal behavior, health, and enrichment. My expertise spans a broad range of animals, from traditional pets like dogs and cats to more exotic companions such as reptiles, foxes, and birds. What Sets Me Apart? ✅ Extensive Experience – From pet sitting to specialized animal care, and dog training, I have worked with countless species, each requiring unique handling and attention. ✅ Advanced Pet Care Skills – From neonatal care and medical administration to behavioral training and enrichment activities. ✅ Emergency Preparedness – Certified in pet CPR and first aid for all species, ensuring your pet’s safety in any situation. ✅ Breed-Specific Knowledge – I tailor care routines based on breed, age, and health needs, optimizing their well-being. My Services 💙 Pet Sitting & Boarding – Safe, loving, and engaging home environment. 🐕 Dog Walking & Exercise – Customized exercise based on breed, age, and energy level. 🐶 Dog Training – Positive reinforcement methods tailored to your pet’s needs. 🍼 Newborn & Special Needs Care – Bottle-feeding, postnatal support, and syringe feeding for young or medically dependent pets. 💊 Medication Administration – Oral, syringe, and topical medications for all species. 🚑 Emergency Care & First Aid – Immediate response for any pet health concerns. 🛁 Bathing & Grooming – Dog/cat grooming, reptile shedding soaks, and coat maintenance. 🚗 Pet Transport – Vet visits, adventures, and more, with safety-first protocols. Animal Experience While I have worked with hundreds of animals, here’s a quick overview: ✔ Dogs & Cats – All breeds, sizes, and temperaments. ✔ Exotic Pets – Reptiles, amphibians, rodents, birds, and more. ✔ Farm Animals – Goats, cows, ducks, chickens, quail, and more. Pet Safety is My #1 Priority Your pet’s well-being is my highest concern. My home is securely monitored with cameras, and pets are never left unattended outside of crate time or a designated pet-safe area. When transported, all pets are harnessed or secured in a carrier. Meet My Pack! 🐶 Maeve – A friendly Golden Retriever who loves socializing with all animals. 🐱 Aella, Akron, Asper & Arsen – My wonderful Bengal & Siamese mixes, all trained and well-socialized. All my pets are fully vaccinated, microchipped, and trained, ensuring a safe and calm environment for visiting animals. Why Choose Me? ✔ 10+ Years of Animal Care Experience ✔ Background in Zoology & Advanced Pet Handling ✔ Custom Care Plans for Each Pet ✔ Emergency & First Aid Certified ✔ Fully Insured & Trustworthy Pet Care Let’s Connect! I understand the stress of leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I am here to provide peace of mind while ensuring your furry, feathered, or scaly friend receives the love, attention, and professional care they deserve. I have a highly flexible schedule and can accommodate last-minute changes as needed. Since my college coursework is asynchronous, I can adapt my work to fit around your schedule seamlessly. As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.

Most bookings cost between $37 and $63 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 105 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Freeland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

95% of sitters in Freeland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Freeland home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Freeland.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Freeland sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
