Pet care experience
Growing up in the wild woods of Vermont, I have 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as the whole farm! Walking dogs started out as a favor for my elderly neighbor who could no longer keep up with their spirited mini Pinscher and continued through college as a side hustle and stress reliever! With my current housing, I'm still not able to have my own fluffy companion, so it is my absolute pleasure to hang out with yours! I'm happy to provide everything you need from photos to maintaining a training program. My neighborhood used to work together to train and socialize Fidelco guide puppies and I have been through several different programs with my own rescue dogs. I am available for walks, at-home visits (walks, play time, feedings, medicine administration), and house sitting. I also offer an in-between option for neighborhood clients who might not need me to stay over or are only gone for a short trip. I can pop by in the morning for a bathroom break, snuggles, and even a quick walk to the coffee shop. In the afternoon, I will be by for a longer walk, and then an evening visit before they go to sleep!
Reviews
Maddie was great! She came over to meet Mason before and asked all of the right questions! She took great care of Mason, sent us pictures and stayed in contact with the whole time. She was great to work with!
Thanks for taking good care of the pups! They love the pics. Pups weee happy when we got home.
My dog Rocko seems to love his time with Maddie. He finishes his walks exhausted and happy. :) My pup likes a brisk walk, and I can see that Maddie is covering a lot of ground in the time she's visiting. Great walker!
Madeleine was very reliable and great with our dogs! Would definitely recommend her!!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I'm very attentive when it comes to securing gates and crates around the house and yard. My childhood dog was a mastermind escape artist and I learned to double check every latch and door!
Information Madeleine R. would like to know about your pet
- How does your dog react to other dogs? Are there any known situations that cause stress? - How does your dog react to other people, specifically children or a certain gender? - Does your dog have any health problems? Mobility problems? Areas that need extra care?
A typical day
I love the rails and trails routes around the city, they're perfect for long sniffy walks! Or finding a nice dog park for a fetch session.
