Pet care experience
I have house sat for a handful of pups in the past and growing up would dog sit. I follow many dogs on instagram and have learned a lot from them. The only reason I don't have a pup of my own is due to rental agreements, but one day it is going to happen and I'm so excited for it! :)
Reviews
Reliable, trustworthy and does good work.
She took good care of our cats. She is reliable and I would be happy to hire her again.
Maddy is fantastic! This was the first time my husband & I have ever let our cats for longer than a couple of nights. Needless to say we were nervous, but Maddy stayed in touch with us the entire time and sent tons of pictures/videos (morning & night) of our fur babies! She truly cares about the animals and treats them like one of her own. I can’t recommend her enough!
Maddy went above and beyond for us. We were travelling and she was kind enough to take our dogs for a walk and feed them from our hotel room while we enjoyed the NASCAR race. Maddy was very responsive and made us feel our dogs were in very good hands. I highly recommend Maddy and her exceptional services. The dogs give high paws!!

Safety, trust & environment
I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible. We currently have a cat in our house, so typically it is easiest to go to the owner's house. The pet is usually more comfortable there as well and all their belongings are there, so it is less moving things from house to house.
Information Maddy B. would like to know about your pet
Any crazy behaviors or areas/things I would need to avoid. What they enjoy to do (i.e. love to play fetch, hate to go on walks, is great in the car, etc.) Also if they prefer a harness versus a regular collar. If you always have a water bottle on you for drink breaks for the pup during walks. If they have any reactivity to anything or certain things.
A typical day
I love to play fetch with the dogs and take them on walks. If the dog lives in a neighborhood, we can walk around there. Around here the creeper trail is a great spot to get some good walking in. I have also seen a few parks we could go to do get some running around in. If the owner takes the pup to a certain spot a lot, I will typically aim to go to that same spot because I know the dog is used to that area.
Services
Maddy can watch in your home
Availability
I am the assistant swim coach at Emory & Henry so my schedule is kind of all over the place. However, I will try my best to be flexible and work with your schedule. I am busiest between the months of August-February because that is prime swim season.
