Dog Lover Looking to Help
Pet care experience
There is nothing that can brighten your day quite like a dog. I got my first dog for my 10th birthday and have been obsessed with them ever since. Unfortunately in adulthood I have moved around a lot and haven't been able to have a dog of my own. This has led to my desire to dogsit for others. Throughout my life I have worked with Beagles, Bichons, Cavapoos, Golden Retrievers, Labs, Pit Bulls, Weimaraners, and a variety of mutts all ranging from only a couple months old to 16.5 years old. By choosing me to take care of your dog, you will receive a reliable, experienced dog sitter that will love and treat your pup as if it were my own.

I'm not sure if there were just miscommunications or bad turns of events, but I was disappointed. We left around 10 AM knowing that Maddie had some dogs to walk in the afternoon and that she'd be there afterwards. Around 10:45 I texted her asking that she text me when she got to the house so I knew she was there. She replied, "No problem!" I tried to call a couple of times in the afternoon and hadn't heard from her by 4:15 so I texted again asking if she'd met the dogs yet. She replied that her phone had been on silent and that she'd be there in about 15 minutes. We didn't hear anything for some time, so 45 minutes later I called my neighbor who said that there wasn't any car in the driveway. The dogs had been alone in the house since 10 AM so I called my mother-in-law who had to drive another 45 minutes to check on them. By that time, Maddie had arrived, long after the promised 15 minutes. The dogs had gone to the bathroom in the house and were two hours late for their evening feeding. I finally got a picture of one of my dogs at 6;12 PM. The night was apparently uneventful and things were fine when we arrived home the following day. We've been unable to locate our Roku controller since we left -- I texted Maddie today to see if she had any idea where it was but got no answer. I have worked in service industries for years and I HATE writing bad reviews, I really do. I can't lie though, about the fact that I was pretty disappointed that Maddie didn't tell me the truth about when she'd arrive and never got back to me about the Roku controller. I acknowledge that everyone has bad days but lying to me about things isn't acceptable.
Very involved and thoughtful of our young puppies needs. Great job!
My dogs really loved her; cats too...once the food comes out. She even fed the fish we have. My confidence is restored and will travel more often because of this service. Thanks so much!
Maddie is awesome. My pup loved her. She is a lifesaver!!

Information Maddie H. would like to know about your pet
I'm open to all breeds of dogs but it is always nice to know the breed in advance and what their favorite things are. It's also good to know if they have any special requirements or dislikes.
A typical day
I love taking dogs for long walks and hikes, playing fetch and tug of war, and in general enjoying the outdoors.
