Pet care experience
Walks in Lincoln Park/Lakeview 🐾
Growing up with dogs, they’ve always been a huge part of my life! I’ve also worked as a professional dog walker 3+ years while at Northwestern, volunteered at PAWS, and now help care for the two Aussies I live with. Im in Lincoln Park / Lakeview with morning & afternoon availability for walks & drop‑ins Main focus is to keep your dog happy, safe, and stick to their usual routine. Whether they love extra sniff breaks or need a little patience getting out the door, I’ll go at their pace and do what works best for them & for you! I send photo & text updates during & after each visit. Always happy to do a meet and greet so your pup can say hi before you book.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I always keep the leash on, steer clear of other dogs, bring treats to keep the pups motivated (will ensure no allergies prior), and bring a dog water bottle on walks too! Happy to follow any instructions and cater to your dogs unique needs/preferences.
Ratings and reviews
We’ve trusted Maddie with our dog, Jaiden, for a long time now, and she has been amazing. She’s always been reliable, communicative and sends a lot of photo updates which we really appreciate. It’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with, and Jaiden absolutely loves spending time with her. Knowing she is getting great exercise, lots of attention, and the best care while we’re away gives us so much peace of mind. We always come home to a happy, tired pup. We couldn’t recommend Maddie more!
Maddie has been walking my Mini Australian Shepherd, Lila, for the past few years, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. Lila is naturally very shy and takes a long time to warm up to new people, but Maddie has always been incredibly patient, gentle, and loving with her. She took the time to earn Lila’s trust, and now it’s obvious how excited Lila is every time she sees her. Maddie is also extremely reliable, responsive, and professional. I always know Lila is in the best hands, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing someone who genuinely cares for her is looking after her. She goes above and beyond, keeps me updated, and treats Lila like she’s one of her own. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, dependable, and truly loves animals, Maddie is the person you want. We feel so lucky to have found her, and I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with Lila.
Madeline is extremely reliable, professional and overall just amazing! My pup loves her and I always know she’s in good hands with Madeline. She treats my girl as her own!
We really enjoy working with Madeleine. Our dogs love her. She’s always on time, responsible, and goes the extra mile every single time without hesitation.
Getting a dog walker or sitter has always been incredibly nerve-racking for us. We have a very shy, skittish Australian Shepherd who doesn’t warm up to new people easily, so finding someone she trusts has always felt nearly impossible. Then we found Madeleine. From the very beginning, Madeleine took the time to build a genuine relationship with our dog before she ever attempted to put a leash on her. Her calm, patient, and gentle nature was exactly what our girl needed to feel safe. We’ve gone through several dog walkers who simply didn’t take the time to understand her personality or adjust their approach, but Madeleine did, and it made all the difference. Our dog is absolutely obsessed with Madeleine now, and honestly, I completely understand why. She is truly one of a kind. She’s thoughtful, dependable, punctual, and trustworthy. Most importantly, she loves and cares for our dog as if she were her own. Leaving your fur baby with someone new is never easy, and dog walking apps have always made me anxious. But Madeleine exceeded every expectation we had. She gave us complete peace of mind, and we know our dog is genuinely happy and well cared for whenever she’s with her. We feel so lucky to have found her, and we’re never letting her go!
For as long as we can remember Maddie has played a very special role in our family . She has been a caregiver extraordinaire to our fur- angel - child , Romeo and for that we are so thankful . For those particular about who they choose to take care of their pet , look no further than Maddie !
