Pet care experience
I have taken care of dogs of all types and sizes for at least 6 years. I grew up with my own dogs that I fed, bathed and played with. Many friends and families have had me watch their dogs or housesit/dog watch while they were in need. My inquiries are consistent and repetitive, showing that my clients are pleased with me.
Reviews
I hired Maddie for an unusual request of taking care of our hummingbirds and water some plants while we were on vacation. Maddie was very enthusiastic to take on the different type of job and even offered to take out our trash can on pick up day. She took very good care of filling up and cleaning the hummingbird feeders and making sure she locked up and set our alarm properly. She is very mature and considerate. We plan to hire her again soon to housesit our dogs for a few days.
Extremely kind with our animals and kept great communication with us the whole time. Would recommend to anyone! Absolutely amazing! Thank you Maddie!
Maddie did great with my dogs. One of them is scared of new people and he LOVED her. She’s very patient and willing to do whatever is needed to make sure it’s a good experience for both herself and the animals. She took the job last minute and did an amazing job. I would recommend her to anyone.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will always make sure the pet is content before I do my own things. I will make sure the pet has played and rested enough to its comfort. Depending on feeding preferences, I will make sure the pet always has food and water or is fed at the required times. I am open to help with training techniques that the owners are working on. I will not conduct any training techniques that the owner does not approve of. If I notice a pet is dirty, I will bathe/brush them until they are clean.
Information Maddie S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to be aware of any special instructions or health issues that I will need to look out for. Any common habits that the pet has that I should not take into consideration is also appreciated.
A typical day
I enjoy taking the dogs on at least one walk a day. On warmer days, I will take dogs to the river or other water to play, if it is allowed by the owner. Turtle Bay East dog park is one of my favorite places. I use toys to play with the dogs or I will run around with them.

Availability
**I have school every day, differing schedules each day** I am a full time student in nursing school. I am able to check on pets throughout the day on my breaks and spend more time with them in the morning and night when I am not at school. I will make sure to take them on walks in the morning or nights, when I know that the ground is not too hot for paws.
