Maddy has looked after my cats twice now over the past couple months, while I’ve been out of town. The most recent trip was only a couple days, but for the first one, I was out of the country for about a week and a half. It was the longest I’d ever been away from my babies in the 5 or so years they’ve been in my life. As excited as I was for my vacation, I was dreading the thought of leaving my little family behind. I actually cried on the way to the airport. 😅 I had never hired a babysitter/house-sitter before, so I was quite nervous. But moreover, I just felt so guilty, like I was abandoning them… (Some context, briefly: Taco Bella + Jack are both rescues and each have their fair share of little quirks and concerns, e.g., anxiety, attachment/abandonment issues, misplaced aggression, etc.). I shared what I was feeling with Maddy and she was so kind to me. She empathized with my experience completely and provided lots of reassurance that my little ones were in good hands. Throughout the trip, Maddy sent lots of photos and text updates. She truly went above and beyond, swinging by after work to check on them a second time, bringing up packages, taking out my recycling!… She was happy to administer a daily antibiotic that Jack needed for an infection. She promptly brought behavioral concerns to my attention, and really just seemed to intuitively understand what both of my guys needed. It was obvious Maddy had really taken the time to read through Taco + Jacks’ bios and my lengthy instructions in advance of the visit. She completely put me at ease, allowing me to really enjoy my adventure overseas, worry-free. I can’t recommend Maddy enough. She is wholly reliable and an excellent communicator. Her credentials speak for themselves, but she truly is a pro. I trust her completely with my babies and home both. We hope to be able to keep her on as a regular/recurring sitter for a long time to come. :)

Maddie was the best pet sitter! She did a great job walking our slightly unruly 90lb dog, gave the fluffs plenty of cuddles, got some playtime in with our cats and sent us plenty of pictures! She left our place cleaner than when she got here. I have zero hesitations having her watch our pets!
