Pet care experience
Present Pet Companion
Hi there! I've been an animal lover and advocate since childhood, and have spent the last 11 years in dedicated companionship to my beloved late bulldog. From puppy years to senior and ultimately hospice care, he taught me presence, patience, and unconditional compassion, and gave me tons of experience managing separation anxiety and changing physical, medical, and mobility issues/concerns. Our household would be great for any pups with separation anxiety, as I work from home and can offer consistent company and attention during their stay, and don't have any children or other pets in the home. You can trust your dog to be treated like family with me, and I look forward to the opportunity to meet them!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced back patio in our quiet townhome community to offer your dog sun-filled naps and fresh air if desired, and plenty of beautiful walking paths in the immediate neighborhood. I have crate availability if needed, and a baby-gate to fence off stairs if your dog has any trouble going up or down. We do allow dogs on couches/in bed, so they'll have access to maximum snuggles of desired.
Ratings and reviews
Madalyn was the perfect fit for my high needs rescue dog who currently suffers from separation anxiety and is reactive to other pets. She understood dog behavior which was comforting while my dog was under her care. My dog will be back!
Madalyn is absolutely amazing! You can tell she really loves and cares for animals and will go the extra step to make your doggie feel comfortable and safe. My Ruby girl has bad separation anxiety and very reactive with other dogs and she cared for her no problem. She also sent pictures through out the stay and communicated me with updates. I would recommend Madalyn and will definitely be using her to care for Ruby again!
We’ve booked Madalyn twice now and plan on booking with her many more times in the future! She has been absolutely amazing every single time. From the start, her communication has been prompt, friendly, and thoughtful. She really goes above and beyond to make sure our dog feels safe and loved. Each stay, she keeps us updated with pictures and messages, which gives us total peace of mind while we’re away. Our doggo always comes home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for, so we can tell she is treated like her own pup. It’s such a relief to have someone we trust completely. We highly recommend Madalyn to anyone who wants their pet to be in the best hands. We’re so grateful to have found her!
Maddy was so helpful and caring for Juniper, I was able to enjoy a glorious day in wine country without a care in the world!
Madalyn was the absolute best with our shy girl Abby! We felt so confident leaving our dog in her care and will definitely be booking with her again, highly recommend!
Madalyn has taken care of our pup Lois twice now and is an awesome sitter! It gives us peace of mind knowing Lois is getting great care and attention while we're away. Would absolutely reach out to Madalyn again for future sittings.
