I am a mature medical student so I am busy but my routine is very flexible and I'm often at home with my head in a book. I am available for boarding and sitting services at the weekend as well as in the week.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced, grassy garden so dogs can go out and have fresh air. I live with my cat, Dio, who is friendly to dogs. I have space in the house to crate dogs if their routine involves one: I will be led by you. I love walking and live near several parks and not far from the beach.

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs since I was a child when I looked after and went to competitions with my Granny's Border Terrier, Sam. I got the bug and was in high demand as a dog sitter and carer as a teenager, looking after lots of dogs in my town. My parents' collies taught me a lot of what I know, too. I am a very calm, assured dog handler with lots of experience.

Maddy is a true cat lover, in fact a lover of all animals. She is kind and caring and has always taken excellent care of my cat Zorba, who loves Maddy as if she was a member of the family! He is always excited to see her because she has taken time to bond with him, to understand his habits and what he likes and dislikes. She is organised and excellent at following instructions regarding schedules and house care. She is an honest and extremely likeable person who can be totally relied upon. It's clear she has lots of experience with pets and can handle any situation that arises. I am glad I met Maddy and Zorba is extremely happy too! I can't reommend her highly enough.

Maddy was so great at looking after Bobby (dog) whilst I went away on a long weekend last month. She was so lovely with him and sent me lots of pictures of the fun they were having. Could not recommend Maddy enough if you're looking for someone to look after your special pet whilst away - totally took all the stress out of the weekend.

I have known Madeleine for a number of years and in many contexts. She has welcomed both myself with my dog, and my dog independently, into her home, during which times we have felt very comfortable and well cared for. Madeleine is very reliable, trustworthy and responsible. If she commits to a task Madeleine follows it through with diligence and care. She is kind and good humoured and takes her responsibilities seriously. Madeleine genuinely loves animals, treating them with respect and dedicated attention.

Madeleine is a wonderful pet lover. Careful and sensitive when dealing with the needs of animals, she clearly loves walking the dogs and cuddling the cats. It’s easy to recommend her as someone who would be a safe pair of hands for anyone’s special four legged family.
