Safety, trust & environment

I’d be able to care for pets in your home like it was my home. I also have clients I clean for, so a clean living space for people and pets important to me. One of my cats likes to try and eat anything he can get, non edible items especially, so I’m familiar with ‘baby proofing’ and keeping everything out of reach. I’m very aware of my surroundings and will keep a close eye on your pet. I don’t have social media and I’m not constantly distracted by my phone either. I’d be more than happy to update you as I’m there however and send many many pictures.

Information maddie g. would like to know about your pet

To ensure the safety and wellbeing of your pet and myself, please let me know if there are any behavioral issues, medical issues, or anything to keep an eye out for.

A typical day

On dog walks I typically like to walk the area that they’re familiar with. However, if you know that you pet is able to be around other dogs, I have no problem taking them to a dog park or to pet friendly areas around town.

Animal Lady

Pet care experience

Animal lady here. I have four cats, five chickens, and a bearded dragon. I grew up with dogs as well. Two yorkies (brothers) and a schnauzer chow chow mix. I’ve had my fair share of bites and scratches, and am able to work with animals with some behavioral issues no problem. I am responsible and treat each animal as if it's my own. I'd be able to provide the best care, and not just care, but love and compassion as I know when pets are away from their owners, it could be a stressful time. I have reliable transportation and would be able to feed walk and clean up after pets. I’m also familiar with administering oral medications and topical medications. I have experience caring for animals with illnesses. As my previous dog had many breed related issues including diabetes. I also had a very sick cat I helped bring back from severe liver issues by syringe feeding and administering oral medications. I’ve house sat for friends with small animals and even snakes. I’ve cared for chickens before as well. I know animals sometimes have accidents in home as well and I have no problem cleaning up after them and cleaning the space.

Maddie is great with my spicy cat. She sends pictures and lets me know how he is doing.

I can trust that my pets and home are in the best hands with Maddie. She's very in tune with each of the animals. She's recommended some high-quality care products that I've purchased and found to be extremely beneficial for my furkids' health and quality of life. I highly recommend Maddie for pet and home sitting.

Maddie is great with my "kids." They LOVE her! She gives them each individualized attention. She's always quick to respond to messages and ask questions when needed. All in all, Maddie is extremely reliable and goes above and beyond. I already have more bookings scheduled with her and would definitely recommend her to others.

Maddie did a great job with my two dogs and cat. I received frequent updates and pictures. I would book again.
