Friendly dog-lover in SB
Pet care experience
I love all animals, but dogs rock. We got our first family pal when I was 13 years old, and I've pet every doggo I've ever seen since. I'm personally active and enjoy being outside, but this girl knows how to read a room- happy to stay in and give belly rubs if that's the vibe! I have experience in administering medication to ill and/or elderly dogs, including ear drops, pills covered in peanut butter (I have a lot more tricks up my sleeve), and insulin shots for a diabetic poodle.
Reviews
Maddie, came to our home on a Wednesday through Tuesday to dogsit our Chika. We had many emails back and forth to work out details and then she came over a few nights before to see everything in person. We felt confident that she would be respectful to our home and take good care of Chika. And she did! We will hire her again. She made herself a friend to Chika and to us. Both my wife and I recommend her highly.
She's super sweet and the dogs loved staying with Maddie! She gave them lots of walks and exercise. She also left our house very clean :)
Great! Did more than I asked for.
Responsive and caring. The perfect sitter :)
About Madeleine H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
As both a creature of comfort and a dog owner, I value being able to come home to things just how I left them (happy pup, included!). I'll respect your space and ensure your pet is as comfortable as can be by sticking to your preferred routine. You can expect lots of photo updates, too!
Information Madeleine H. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for, including reactivity, allergies, and special quirks. It's always helpful to know how your dog typically behaves so I can spot anything that may be out of the ordinary while you're away.
A typical day
Hikes, beach walks, neighborhood strolls, belly rubs... Your wish is my command. I'm happy to stick to the routine or give your loved one a vacay of their own.

I work a hybrid schedule and have the privilege of working remotely 70% of the time. I usually start my mornings at 8am and free-up around 4:30pm with frequent breaks in between. Your dog will be my priority!
