Information Madeleine A. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting a dog or cat I would like to know if they have any health and behavioural issues, or if you have any specific care instructions.

Going for walks in parks around barrhaven and manotick. If your pet is up for it, I would also love to take them on a hike in Gatineau Park!

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Madeleine and I love pets of all breeds and sizes and would love to take your furry friend on a nice walk in the park, or look after them while you’re on vacation. I have owned a dog in the past for 16 years and have experience with other pets, so I can provide a fun, easy going and active walk or board for your pet. I am available during the week and on weekends as I work from home full time, so can take your dog on a walk for either 30 min during the day, or 1 hr or longer walks in the evenings and on weekends, depending on the needs of your pup! I am really flexible on dates and cancellations. I’m really looking forward to meeting you and your pet!

Laika always comes home healthy and happy (and tired, which is great for us after travelling)!

Madeleine and her husband Ryan were so great for Murphy! She sent pictures and updates each day and made sure to communicate quickly and frequently. Murphy was very content during his stay and we know he got all the cuddles and playtime he wanted. Will definitely be using Madeleine again in the future! Thank you both!

Madeleine & Ryan were great! I was very nervous leaving Myla, she'd only ever stayed with family and a friend before. Madeleine gave me lots of updates which eased my mind so I could have a relaxing vacation. Myla was well taken care of and felt the love and safety with them. Thanks for taking such good care of my baby, we will see you in July! :)
