Vet student devoted to quality care
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Maddie, and I am currently a student working towards my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. For over 6 years, I have worked at a doggie daycare / boarding / grooming / training facility where I was responsible for the care of over a hundred dogs at any given time. While in college, I continued to work at the same facility as well as Petsmart in their grooming department. Since then, I have worked as a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital going on 3 years now. Over my time I have cared for thousands of dogs and cats, along with other creatures such as zoo animals, exotics, farm animals, and wildlife. I love it all! I am the proud mother of a 12 year old Schnauzer mix who unfortunately suffers from several health conditions, which I manage well daily. I also recently adopted a kitten who is rambunctious and full of life. I tailor the care of each animal to their needs, not to mine. With years of experience at various facilities and animal hospitals, I am very comfortable and knowledgeable to care for those with special needs / seniors requiring medications as well as those who are high energy and ready to play.
About Maddie A.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I base my care of each animal based on their needs. For senior dogs or those with restrictions, I make sure to provide mental stimulation with quality time and affection if mobility is an issue for them. For those who are higher energy, I enjoy going on long walks and playing games that give them the energy outlet they need. I am no stranger to medication, as my own pup requires several different medications multiple times a day, so I am very comfortable administering and monitoring those who need the extra attention.
Information Maddie A. would like to know about your pet
Please advise me of any health concerns (limited mobility, sensitive areas, etc.) and any behavioral issues (not friendly with other dogs or cats, doesn’t like hats, etc.), so I can be the most prepared when caring for your pets. This helps me customize my care plan for your baby to give them the best experience possible!
A typical day
I have years of experience training dogs with basic commands and leash walking skills, so walks with me can help create better habits on leash or fortify existing training already set in place. I love rewarding pets too, so I always keep dog and cat treats on me for when the time is right! If your pet has allergies to certain foods, I can withhold this or make arrangements to make sure everyone is happy and healthy. If your pet enjoys toys, I have a stockpile of both dog and cat toys of different sizes and varieties at the ready.

Availability
Currently, I am on summer break from classes, therefore, I have a fairly open schedule. My senior dog requires routine potty breaks throughout the day, so drop-in visits and daily walks allow me to give her the appropriate care she needs while still providing exemplary care to other pets.
