Safety, trust & environment

I have worked in over 100+ households over the last 7 years. I am a great communicator, and I have great references. I also believe in leaving the house cleaner than I found it. No one should come home from a trip and have to deal with dirty sheets!

Information Madeline N. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if there is any medication administration needed. I am totally fine with oral and topical, just have never done an injection before (but I am about to start learning animal CPR & first aid!). I also would like to know anything that may make your dog anxious or scared, or things to avoid both inside and outside.

A typical day

I am happy to hang around and cuddle with the pups, or we can go on our daily strolls in the neighborhood. I love being able to explore different neighborhoods with a pup or two by my side!

Pet care experience

Dogs are the reason we have so much joy on this earth. I personally have had 3 dogs in my lifetime, and I have dog sat for countless dogs. Great Danes, golden doodles, Boston terriers, pit bulls and mutts alike. All dogs deserve love because that is what dogs do for us. I am a very responsible and kind individual. I am respectful of people's spaces, and I think communication is key to making sure everyone is on the same page. I want to care for your dog the way you do- I can be attentive, and playful, and caring- whatever your dog would need to live the happiest life that they can. I also have a lot of experience working with human children, which I think is important considering the similarities between a human child and your fur baby. Also, I adore cats as well! I'm just allergic- but I have cat sitting experience as well, and recently I've started taking Zyrtec!

On a dark and stormy night, Madeline kept our Millie calm and happy during her stay. Millie highly recommends Madeline to any and all dogs wanting pampering and attention!

Maddie did an excellent job staying with our 2 dogs! She was easy to communicate with, prompt, and left our house in great shape. The dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we got home!

Maddie did a fantastic job watching our two large dogs. It’s important to us that they are not left alone for long periods of time and she remained attentive and communicative throughout the entire stay. We even had a flight cancellation and had to extend by one evening and she accommodated us happily and without much notice. We definitely plan on using her again. Great house guest and companion for your pet!

Maddie was super communicative and took great care of Hugo while I was away from home for several weeks. She is dependable and highly responsive, which helped me feel at ease during such a long time away.
