Very flexible schedule

Pet care experience

I have a very flexible schedule and pay is also negotiable. I am a college student at UMass Amherst studying Public Health and Psychology. I am looking for some side money, and am excited to find a gig that I truly enjoy. Growing up I loved having a dog, and enjoyed spending time outside with or just hanging out in the house with him. I had a lot of the responsibilities of care with my dog, from walking to brushing and feeding, and have also watched other people's dogs for about 4 days at a time typically. I love to be outside and exercise so I will be sure to keep your dog entertained. I have experience dog-sitting for large and small dogs as well.

Madalena is wonderful! She took excellent care of my two golden retrievers and house while we were away for a week. She sent us texts with photos every day. I left her our car also--so she could drive them to the nearby woods -- and she took great care of that, too. We recommend her highly!

Madalena loves dogs! She is responsible and caring, two important qualities for any dog caregiver. I would trust her to walk my dog any day of the week!!!

Madalena is an incredibly responsible dog walker and dog sitter. I have a pup with special needs, she only has three-legs and is a little timid, and I have never seen anyone as patient and comfortable with Lucy as Madalena. I would trust her with my dog any time.

Madalena is one of the most responsible pet owners and caregivers I know. She has owned a dog for 10 years, and has cared for many family and friends animals over the years. She is timely, mature and respectful. Rover would be lucky to have her as an employee!
