My life is incomplete without dogs
Pet care experience
I have grown up with indoor and outdoor dogs of all sizes my entire life. Living in the country meant that farm dogs, neighborhood dogs, and strays always came to my family's house because we loved them. In college I lived in a city with my dog so I'm well acquainted with the needs of a dog based on his or her location. I have helped train my dogs to shake and do tricks and have loved strays that were too scared to be near me at first only for them to be my best friend soon after. I also volunteered at a non-profit organization called Texas Coalition for Animal Protection in college and I helped with dogs many times there. I'm a full-time professional freelancing photographer. I don't mind taking professional photos of your dog and editing them for you to keep either! If you want that then I'm all in. I have taken some stellar pup portraits for my family before and I think they are so worth having! I am active as well so exercise such as walking, jogging, sprinting, and throwing toys is easy! Hint: One of my dogs loves to run and the other loves to chase bubbles. Let me know what your dog loves and I'll do my best to engage in his or her favorite activity! I can't wait to meet your best friend / fur baby!!
Reviews
Madeline has loved animals her entire life. She grew up with rescue dogs in her family and always played with them and helped care for them. You won't find a better caretaker for pets.
Madeline is easily the most qualified sitter when it comes to dog care. She has had many pups growing up, all of which were loved and spoiled in the best way! Her years of dog care make her perfect for any and all, she has lived with all different sizes of dogs and many different breeds as well. Madeline has loved and cared for dogs who are scared of rain storms, she has rescued many off the street and shown them love and care, maddie has had elderly dogs who needed extra care and medicine, as well as pups who need extra encouragement and guidance. You honestly can not pick a person more loving caregiver for your furry family members!
I've known Madeline (Maddie) as a friend, roommate, expert traveler, and dog mom in the past four years. She is an intelligent, honest, kind, and compassionate individual with a heart of gold and a love for animals (and photography). I have seen Maddie treat her dog Bella, as well as other dogs she's cared for, with nothing but love and respect. Your dog(s) would be in excellent hands when left in Maddie's care, and you will have the pleasure of getting to know this amazing human who I am lucky enough to call my friend.
Madeline has taken care of my 5 furbabies many times, and it's always been a positive experience. She absolutely loves animals, and seems to have an instinctive understanding of how they think. Our furbabies adore her.. She has been reliable, dependable, and responsible, as well as safety-minded for my furbabies. When I leave town with her in charge, I have no worries whatsoever. I would not hesitate to recommend Madeline as a petsitter for anyone's furbabies!

Information Madeline P. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs no matter what. If your dog has tendencies to snap in certain situations then I would like to know ahead of time but that doesn't deter me at all. For example, one dog I loved didn't like his back end above his tail to be touched, so I respected that. My dog doesn't like her paws touched so I refrain unless I need to. I want to know what their favorite toy is or activity and if they have nicknames! I want your pup to be happy and comfortable with me and to also be on vacation while you're gone! If I need to learn anything medical or specific for your dog, such as CPR or giving daily medicine or cooking homemade food for him/her, then I'm absolutely willing.
A typical day
I love to take dogs for a walk around the neighborhood or park, play fetch or frisbee, blow bubbles with them (my dog loves this), and more! I believe in safety and health so I prefer using a harness at all times with a dog. Tennis balls and tug of war is fun for indoor dogs! I love to cuddle with dogs and play with them. I am up for basic grooming as well!
