Pet care experience
I’ve grown up with dogs and am very comfortable with different breeds and personalities. I’ve had a German Wire-Haired Pointer (60lbs), a mixed breed mutt (50lbs), a Malamute mix (90lbs) and now I’ve added a Siberian Husky (60lbs) to the mix! Between those four I’ve dealt with severe anxiety, hard walkers and everything in between! I’ve had lots of experience working closely with trainers and seeing how different techniques can be used depending on the dogs needs. I am always striving to help fit your needs, I am happy to enforce commands or teach new ones! I’m currently working in dog services full-time to save up for Graduate school while living at home. I’m available during the day until about 6pm, I’m an early riser so I walk my dog’s around 6:30am then have the day free. If you’re looking for house-sitting my rate includes feeding 2x a day and 2 walks a day. If you are looking for more or less care let me know so we can talk about a modified price to fit your needs! I have a large fenced in yard, the fence at its shortest is 6’. I walk my dogs daily and take them to one of the many parks near my house. My dogs are very friendly, Buddy has had a hard past so he has severe anxiety around humans but absolutely loves dogs! Moose is a Malamute that is happy to lounge around or chase you around the park. Bourbon is a Husky that loves to play and roll around in the grass! I typically have about 4 dogs daily that are repeat clients, so my mornings are my busiest times. I do my best to have flexibility and have the most availability from 12pm and on. I am available all day 8am-10pm, I strive to be flexible with your schedule! I have a fenced in yard, live near two great dog parks and close to shoreline walking trails! My dogs are friendly and love to play and run, my parents are also dog lovers so there would be plenty of belly rubs!
Reviews
Madeline took great care of our dog! She was open and responsive, and we would not hesitate to reach out to her again for our dog's care in the future.
Wonderful dog sitter. Madeline did a great job keeping the house clean and keeping our two big dogs happy and exercised. Very responsible and kind.
Madeline is a wonderful sitter. She did a great job housesitting and taking care of our two big dogs. Our home was immaculate when we returned, and our dogs were calm, happy and obviously well cared for. Highly recommend her.
Maddie was fantastic! We will definitely ask her to petsit for us again. Great communication and photos, and we came home to very happy pets.

Information Madeline S. would like to know about your pet
What’s your dogs temperament like? Are they good with other dogs? Are they good with new people? How are they on a leash? I do prefer larger breeds since these are the dog’s I’ve known the best.
A typical day
I provide walks in your neighborhood as well as hikes around the area. If you have a specific place in mind feel free to let me know.
