Extended family to your fur babies!
Pet care experience
Hi there! I was a babysitter and nanny for many years which is what first lead me into pet care. I'm a working professional in an artistic career and I absolutely love animals. I've watched pets overnight, checked in on pets while families were away on vacation, and have years of dog walking experience with dogs of all sizes. I've also cared for many cats and some small creatures too! I'm very patient and it's my top priority to make sure your pet feels as loved as they would be by their own family. I also understand the value of a good walk and getting your dog as active as possible when out with them. I can provide references upon request and happy to answer any questions you may have for me! I hope to work with you and your family soon. :)
Reviews
I cannot say enough good things about Madeline and the incredible dog walking experience she provided. It is always stressful finding someone to look after your fur baby but from the moment I met her, I knew that my dog would be in good hands. She took the time to come over, introduce herself and talk about her background and get to know my dog which I appreciated so much. Madeline embodies professionalism, reliability, and a genuine love for animals. She would always over communicate, providing photos, and updates about their walk which made me so happy to see. Madeline truly values the bond of being a dog walker and treats them as if they are their own pet. She is incredibly reliable and flexible and I wholeheartedly recommend her services to any pet owner seeking the absolute best for their furry companion. We miss her so much since she moved and anyone who gets to work with her is so lucky!
Madeline is a wonderful choice for a pet caregiver. She is kind and thoughtful and intelligent. She was even voted "Nicest" player on her high School soccer team! She loves pets and I'm sure would take excellent care of your treasured friend.

I live in a pet free household with a yard in the back. I'm quite limited in the supply department unfortunately so I will need to ask that you bring your animals essentials.
Home
Information Madeline J. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any triggers your dog has so I can avoid on our walks. Especially if they are unneutered, or have specific things they need to avoid like other dogs, humans, or kids. If they have any stomach issues or food sensitivity that's also important for me to know as I sometimes have my own treats on hand. Please also make sure that your collar or harness is well adjusted so that your pet can't easily pull out of them, please also let me know if that's something they're prone to doing.
A typical day
I love to make sure my dogs get as much exercise and stimulation as possible during my time with them. If the owners are ok with it, I usually prefer to drive the dog to the closest park to get stimulation they wouldn't normally get from a sidewalk/pavement walk.

Availability
My primary career is contract based and I'm between contracts at the moment, so my schedule is wide open! Once I find the next contract my schedule will tighten up more, but while this description is up I'm very available!
