Pet care experience

Dog lover who enjoys running

I have have been taking care of dogs of different sizes for as long as I can remember. Ranging from German Shepards to chihuahuas. My heart is very big for animals and I am always rescuing animals so there is never a time that I am without a pet. I treat all pets like they are my own and will take care of them as if they were my own. I love spending time with my very young and active Maltipoo who loves playing with other dogs at the dog park. He is very social and kind. He loves licking faces and resting his head on your legs. He also loves going to the beach to dip his paws in water. We run together almost everyday.

Great sitter. Took wonderful care of my elderly dog on a last minute request. Sent pictures and went above and beyond in keeping me in the loop on how my dog was doing.

Maddie was awesome to work with and did a great job with Summer while I was away. Will definitely work with her again!

Maddie would be by far my top choice for a sitter/ dog walker. She's prompt and reliable, pays attention to detail, and will make sure to take the time to provide the utmost TLC for your dog. I would highly recommend Maddie!

Madelena was my regular dogsitter when I was living in San Diego. I had her take care of my dog, Sasha, whenever I was out of town over the span of about 2 years. I can confirm that she is reliable, trustworthy, easy to work with and communicate with and most importantly, wonderful with animals. Maddie always made sure to send me daily pictures and update me on how Sasha's day went. Sasha is very shy when meeting new people and had very bad separation anxiety when I first moved to SD, but it didn't take long for her to warm up to Madelena. I think by the third time Madelena dogsat Sasha she didn't seem to care that I was leaving, which was really bittersweet haha (she basically jumped onto Maddie's lap and proceeded to forget about my presence). I know Maddie treated Sasha like one of her own. Sasha and I both miss you!

Madelena dog sat for me on several occasions, the last one for a week. She is a true animal lover and always give my little fur baby the attention he needs. From walking him to knowing when he wants treats, she really made an effort to get to know him. I highly recommend her and will always have her look after my dog when I am out of town!

Schedule

I believe a healthy dog is a happy dog. Taking my dog on either a morning stroll or night hike is my top priority and would be the same for any pet I care for.

It’s best to know if a dog does not like to be around other dogs or is aggressive to other dogs while on leash. Also if a dog is territorial over food or toys. It’s also good to know if they have any health issues that may be triggered by certain things for example from stress or separation anxiety.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
