Fun, responsible, and experienced!
Pet care experience
My love and passion for dogs started as a child. I grew up with 3 large breed dogs and regulary sat for neighbors and family! Following graduation from high school, I pursued a career in Animal Welfare and am in charge of all things dog at the Neenah Animal Shelter. I am currently a 4th year double major at UW-Oshkosh and my major focuses on NonProfit Fundraising, Management, and Animal Behavior and Wellness. I have also worked with the Oshkosh Area Humane Society in Behavior Modification and training, attended seminars on training, and just recently started my own NonProfit dog rescue. I have experience with all sizes, ages, and breeds and have never met a dog I didn't love! I am currently looking for dog sitting, walking, and boarding opportunities to help put money away while growing my NonProfit. I am also a huge believer in animal enrichment and love to wear out the dogs both physically and mentally. An afternoon with me would involve training, exercise, socialization, and affection! Dogs are my passion and I look forward to working with you to continuing expanding my knowledge!

Information Maddy V. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting a dog, I would like to know their reactiveness towards strangers. How a dog greets strangers determine how I approach them, enter the home, or let them out of their kennel, if crated. I do not have any breed restrictions. I love all dogs!
A typical day
Personally, I love walking the trails at the local parks and exploring the dog parks, with pups that enjoy them. I have an endless supply of puzzles, kongs, and essential oils for dogs to utilize as well. I have noticed that the "wheel drop" puzzle is most pups favorite! Brushing, playing, and working on tricks are some other fun things for us to do! In two weeks, I taught a 6 year old lab mix almost 15 tricks! I love teaching just as much as they love learning. Plus, a good brain workout tires them out just in time for a nap before dinner!
