Availability

I’m a full-time dog trainer and sitter, so dogs are at the heart of my every day. Each pup in my care is treated like the unique individual they are — whether that means extra playtime, a peaceful nap spot, or a structured routine that helps them feel at home. I’m an active person who loves getting outside for walks, runs, or a quick game of fetch. There’s even a beautiful park and creek just below my house that’s perfect for long-line play (with your okay, of course). When it’s time to wind down, I’m just as happy to curl up on the couch with a good book and a dog who loves a cuddle. Here, your dog won’t just be “watched”, they’ll be understood, engaged, and cared for like family.

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, understood, and cared for like family. With over a decade of experience, I’ve developed a keen eye for dog behavior and a home perfectly tailored for canine comfort and safety. Dogs love coming back here—it’s clean, organized, and stocked with every toy and enrichment tool imaginable. Each dog gets their own cleaned crate, water bucket, and feeding setup to ensure safe and calm mealtimes. When unsupervised, dogs are kenneled to prevent accidents (no midnight sock snacks here!). I clean all surfaces in my home with pet safe cleaner as well as sanitize my yard between stays. Making sure your dog stays healthy matters to me. I take pride in being the sitter dogs and owners trust most—where dogs get excited when they turn down my street.

Information Madalyn B. would like to know about your pet

Upon messaging me I will ask you to fill out a short ten question form. I like to know your dog(s) personality, allergies, medications, and if they have any behavioral issues that I need to be aware of (aggression, reactivity, sensitivities). I also want to know your dog’s motivators and what they find fun! I do require all dogs be up to date on shots and the kennel cough vaccine for safety purposes.

A typical day

Mornings here start early—with coffee for me and a good stretch and potty break for the pups! Once everyone’s up and around, the fun begins. As the owner of a dog training company, I work from home and get to spend my whole day surrounded by furry coworkers. Your dog’s day might include playtime, brain games, naps in the sun, and maybe even a hike or trail adventure (with your permission, of course!). My husky mix is always up for making new friends and keeping the playful pups entertained. Every day here is a mix of fun, structure, and lots of pets.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Madalyn — your local dog person! With over 10 years of hands-on experience in the dog training industry, I specialize in helping pet parents feel completely at ease while they’re away. I know how scary it can be to leave your dog with a stranger so I am here to fix that! My background in dog training means I’m skilled at reading canine behavior, managing multiple dogs safely, and supporting everything from high-energy pups to seniors who just want extra cuddles. I treat every dog like my own — with structure, fun, and tons of love. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I tailor the care to your dog’s personality and needs. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and a safe, happy pup when you return home.

Madalyn exceeded all expectations taking care of our two rambunctious boxers and accommodating our crazy schedule. She is extremely dependable and very communicative which was very appreciated! She even taught our dogs some tricks! I would highly recommend her for taking care of your pups!
