Reliable, Active Dog-Lovers!

Pet care experience

My husband, Andrew and I, are willing to do just about anything with your dog! We can relax and go on short walks, go on hikes for active pups, take trips to the dog park, play fetch, etc. I have a puppy of my own and understand puppy needs and training. I have lots of experience with the clicker and am willing to work with your pup! We also solemnly swear to take some cute pics and keep you updated during our time with your BFF. I am pet first-aid certified and can care for your pup if (heaven forbid!) anything happens while we are together. We would absolutely love to hang out with your dog, and promise he/she will have the best time! Thanks for trusting us with your pet.

Madeleine and Andrew watched our (2) dogs and house for a week, and they were everything we hoped for in house/dog sitters! We've used Rover for about 10 years now and I think Madeleine and Andrew are the best! We got several updates each day, with photos and videos of the pups playing. I immediately felt comfortable with them, and I was able to relax on my vacation knowing our home and dogs were in good hands. They are very responsible, kind, and caring. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Madeleine and Andrew have stayed in my home with our five pups twice already for a week stay and we could not be any more happy with how they took care of our dogs and our home. We are so happy we found these two dog lovers!

Madeleine was great! As were both her husband, Andrew, and her dog, Arthur! They really took good care of Ruby and I could tell she was having a marvelous time there. I was a little worried because Ruby was nervous about the stairs going up to their apartment at first, but Madeleine sent pictures of her as she mastered them. I will definitely use Madeleine again, and I know Ruby will enjoy being able to romp with Arthur in their little dog park at the apartments.

Information Madeleine S. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know your dog’s regular routine. We like to make the dog as comfortable as possible, and keeping to their normal routine brings them some comfort while their owner is away!

A typical day

I love to provide dogs with interesting and varied days. We go on many walks (our dog is VERY active), but also like to provide mental enrichment too. We play games like hiding treats for dogs to find, encourage play with toys, and can work on tricks if you’d like! We are experienced with “clicker” training and use it to positively reinforce good behavior.

Availability

I am currently working full time from home. My husband Andrew, who is my right hand man, is in grad school and is part time from home, part time at school. My co-workers love to see the dogs on meetings and calls, they’re always the cutest attendee! Working from home allows me the flexibility to take walks with the dogs during the day. Your pup will not be left for long periods of time while in our care.
