Maddy is easily the most patient and kind person I've ever seen interact with my dogs, other various pets, and animals in general. I have 3 small dogs who have somewhat specific needs and can be very rambunctious and loud at times, and she has never been anything but loving and playful with them. She is extremely attune to their different personalities, pays mind to their individual needs (whether it be dietary restrictions, medications, play-style, cuddle-level, or anything else) and is attentive when they are distressed or anxious. My dogs are usually slow to warm up to new people and have a certain level of separation anxiety, but they took to her very quickly, and are always SO excited to see her and spend time with her. I have no hesitation whatsoever when it comes to leaving my babies with her, and would absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, recommend her to anyone looking for someone to look after their precious pups!
