Attentive and Caring Sitter

Pet care experience

I have had a dog of my own for the past 12 years that I consistently take care , she is a little Shichon named Sammie. Unfortunately, she remains living with my parents, so taking care of others’ dogs will be a great joy for me. I absolutely love dogs and being around them, they bring me so much joy. With my dog, we enjoy throwing toys around and going on long walks. I am an active person so I like to go on big walks and run around outside with my dog and will be happy to do the same for yours! I am very responsible and reliable with great communication skills and extremely caring and attentive with dogs. I have prior experience dog sitting as I started when I was around age 10 - and currently have consistent gigs dog sitting for two different families.

Maddie was wonderful with my pup and went above and beyond for him! She was super flexible when he wasn’t feeling a walk and scared of the storm and played with him inside instead. I would recommend Maddie to all and she was great!

Maddie is a lovely human being who I would trust with not only my dog, but also my life, a child, a house, and even a plant. She has a genuine passion for doggies and is a responsible and caring person. She is also very funny and likable (I’m sure your dog will appreciate this). She has lots of experience taking care of animals and even has a dog herself who seems to enjoy her company. I would 100% recommend Maddie, you won’t go wrong!

Maddie is a very caring person, when it comes to both people and dogs. She looks after every dog she meets like they are her own and showers dogs with all the love in the world. Best dog sitter around.

Information Maddie A. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know any allergies, notable medical history, behaviors, and any medication that your dog needs while in my care. If there are behaviors I should look out for and discourage or scenarios to avoid.

A typical day

The typical day in my care will include walks, playtime - tossing the ball around etc. - and a lot of pets and cuddles. I am always willing to go the extra mile if there is something in particular our dog loves to do. I want to ensure your dog sticks to his/her typical day routine!

Availability

Native to Northern Virginia, I am a young professional in the Arlington area. I work in a hybrid environment that allows me to create my own schedule and can be flexible as needed. Having a dog for the past 12 years, my daily routine is built around pet care. As mentioned, a huge benefit of my hybrid job is the flexibility. I can typically adjust my schedule to fit in the best pet care with appropriate notice. If I don’t feel I can make my schedule work with the potential service, I will respectfully decline.
