Professional Pet Lover

I grew up on a farm, I’ve been around animals my entire life. I’ve worked with nearly every kind of equine animal and household pet! I have plenty of experience handling dogs with “behavioral problems”. I’m comfortable administering most medications and even have plenty of success with cats haha!

My cat is very dramatic and Madeline does a great job showing up and engaging with her. I always get detailed updates and feel assured that she is in good hands.

Madeline is the absolute best! She takes lovely pictures and goes above and beyond to make sure I'm comfortable while I am away. I will continue to book with her! She also brings her son who my cat loves 😂😂

Schedule

I currently walking dogs in Lakeview, Uptown, Lincoln Park and the Gold Coast. My infant son accompanies me on walks and visits, I wear him in a baby carrier so I’m still able to use my full attention and two hands to love your pets! I’m available every week day before 6pm. I spend most of my time hiking/observing urban Mycology and would love to bring your pet along if that is what you wish! For house sitting and pet sitting, I’m available regularly as I do not leave town often.

Safety, trust & environment

I always use a secondary collar for your pets safety on hikes and walks, I also require a meet and greet to establish a relationship before any outings or house sitting. I will only walk your pet where you approve and I only use pre approved food and treats.

A typical day

I love keeping dogs and cats engaged on walks and when pet sitting! I bring treats and toys for my clients that need a little extra stimulation. I’m always willing to work with your dog on training as well!

I like to have a rundown of the dogs possible triggers. For example some dogs are fairly reactive towards other dogs, buses, bikes, scooters etc. I also like to request any allergy or medication information I may need during a walk/visit. Please also let me know if your dog has a routine or if your building has any rules regarding dogs in the lobby or elevators, etc.
