Reviews
10/10 This is the pet sitter you are looking for. I met Maddie in January of 2023 when I first moved into my new apartment complex while taking a walk with my dog Ziggy(boxer/lab). I was in a new city without any friends or family nearby and Ziggy was 13 and was in the stage of his life where he truly needed extra care and I felt terrible having to leave him for long hours due to work. Maddie went well above and beyond all of my expectations and helped me through one of his toughest times of his life when he had fallen ill from a virus during our move from another state. If you truly care about your pet and consider them as an irreplaceable family member Maddie is truly who you want keeping an eye on them for you when you have to be away. She is extremely professional and cares deeply for animals in a manner that you won’t find in an ordinary sitter. I cannot recommend her enough and if I ever find myself in an area near he again I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
I have experienced Madeline's loving, excellent and attentive care with my cat. She worked her schedule to match what I needed. I highly recommend her with no reservations.
Madeline walked and cared for my pup Sammie last year. She walked her at least 2 times per day. Sammie “loved” Madeline. Madeline is the perfect companion and walker. She helps to train the pet in a loving way. Sammie was never anxious when I left her because she knew Madeline would be there for her. My schedule was flexible and Madeline was accommodating and reliable. She shared important feedback about Sammie and had professional suggestions on pet training. I recommend Madeline to care for your pet. She is fabulous. Just ask Sammie.
I don’t normally do reviews, but we are so pleased with the amount of attention and love Madeline gives our two fur babies and how we can leave them with her and know they are in the best hands. Oh and did I mention how much they love her and are always so excited to see her! I think one of the best compliments for Madeline is the fact that my neighbor's said “ I think that girl loves your dogs as much as you do”.
