Safety, trust & environment
My utmost priority is your dog’s comfort, so I will adapt to your pet’s daily routine and your personal preferences for your home. You’ll receive pictures every time, whether we’re walking, snuggling on the couch, or playing games together in the yard or living room.
Information Madeline S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any triggers to be alert for on walks so I can plan a route that keeps them calm and safe. If we’re doing at-home enrichment, please share any food sensitivities or feeding rules (max amount of treats, no eating in a certain room, etc.).
A typical day
Enrichment doesn’t just come from walking and physical exercise: working their minds and their noses is important to tire them out and give them a great experience! I can vary the route, explore new parks, or bring games/enrichment toys to make the most of our time together.

Daytime enrichment for your dog 💜
Pet care experience
⭐️ Deep experience with anxious dogs ⭐️ Outdoor & at-home enrichment ⭐️ From puppies to seniors ⭐️ Med management💊 I’m the pet parent to a 6-year old rescue mix with high anxiety, so I know how scary and frustrating it is to find enrichment, care, and exercise that isn’t triggering or overwhelming for them. I’m available almost every weekday for walks, potty breaks, games (including at-home for anxious dogs who won’t play outside with others), and cuddles to keep your beloved furry family member happy and tired out while you’re away. Experienced with oral medication (giving it to my own dog daily!), enrichment games (snuffle mats, hiding games, et.), and high-energy activities like hikes and dog parks.
Reviews
We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Bailey is an anxious and reactive dog, so finding someone who can confidently handle her isn’t easy. She was incredibly patient, calm, and knew exactly how to work with Bailey, making the walk go smoothly without any issues. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bailey was in such capable hands. We would absolutely love to have her as Bailey’s regular walker and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly understands dogs with special behavioral needs.
I have a senior dog that is nervous around new people, and very sad whenever she is not with me. We wanted to get her more socialization, so we went through Rover to find someone to take her out once a week. Madeline took the time to slowly get to know my dog, and to let my dog get to know her. At first she was patient when my dog refused to go with her (and I was so embarrassed). Over time she built up a relationship where my little old lady was excited to see her! I really feel like Madeline has helped with my dogs separation and social anxiety, plus she is a very sweet girl. 10/10
Maddy is great with my dog, Stanley. He has a lot of energy and she is really good handling him, treating him kindly while still keeping him in line! She loves all animals and I trust her with my dog completely.
If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and kind to walk or watch your dog, Madeline is your person. She’s great with animals, super dependable, and always makes sure my dog gets plenty of exercise and attention. Madeline spoils my dog and takes her to the beach (my dogs favorite place) to relax and dig in the sand when watching her. Madeline also sends plenty of updates and photos so I know my dog is having a great time. My dog absolutely loves Madeline and gets excited the second we pull up to her house. Your pup will be in great hands too.
