All the FUN

Pet care experience

PLEASE READ ALL BEFORE BOOKING: I live for animals. They are my favorite. I have three animals: a service dog, a pupper, and a cat. I often watch animals for friends and family. Dogs and cats gravitate toward me and we become the best of friends. We all sleep in the bed and its one great big dog pile. (Yes, I live the best life). They will get all the snuggles and outdoor time they need because I have an 8-foot privacy fence in my backyard! There is a park less than a minute from my house if they require walks. I'm currently on summer break from law school. I like to whitewater kayak and camp on the weekend. I bring my animals with me, so if you're cool with them going to the river for the day or staying with my personal sitter for a few hours, book with me. River Schedule varies. Again, I am a huge animal lover and dogs are the best! (Cats are cool too!). I also spend a lot of time at my friend's house, who also has a fenced in backyard. For the most part, unless I am going to the grocery store, the dogs all come with me wherever I go. I also make frequent trips to really cool dog parks on a weekly basis, so if your dog is lucky he or she might get to go! :) Please do not bring toys unless its like a favorite stuffed animal. I have plenty of toys! If you're worried about your dog's potty training going to shame, please bring paper towels! I spend so much on paper towels, because sometimes dogs get confused about their potty training in a new home! Please do not book with me if your dog has constant high energy! Since I have 4-8 dogs at one time, I won't be able to dedicate constant attention to satiate their high energies. Dogs with small spirts of energy are fine; just as long as it is not constant! I typically require meet and greets for medium to large dogs to make sure the match is a good fit. Small dogs are good to go unless you want to meet and greet, which is fine too! My dogs are both very friendly and get along with other dogs very well. My cat is basically a dog himself, so he tolerates my constant flow of dogs. PLEASE ONLY DOGS THAT DON'T CHASE CATS! If your dog has never met a cat, I will require a meet and greet. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, because let's face it, they're going to do it whether I want them to or not. :P. My home and boyfriend's home are very dog friendly and we both love dogs (and kitties). I am absolutely looking forward to caring for your babies! Shoot me a message and we will get everything set up! :) THINGS TO BRING: paper towels, kennel (if applicable), food in Tupperware, leash/collar, food bowl, and medicine (if applicable). THINGS NOT TO BRING: toys (I promise you I cannot keep track of everyone's toys), treats, and water bowl (I have a big one). FOR DOGS OVER 45 POUNDS I will only take elderly large dogs with low energy as I cannot commit the energy and time to care for a hyper large dog. Here is the link to my Saturday Sitter. Paula will be watching the doggos for a few hours while I am on the river: https://www.rover.com/members/paula-a-unconditional-love-for-fur-babies/?service_type=drop-in&bep=providerId%3DAGOVW2WA%26rank%3D1%26event%3Drebook-provider-profile-click They get all the snuggles :) We have all the fun and all the much needed nap time. Just check out the photos on my profile!

Madeline you are amazing you take care of my pups so great! They always come back home so relaxed and so happy and I love getting the pictures of my dogs while I’m away. You definitely bring next level comfort for me and especially for my dogs they love you and you are so sweet and the best sitter in town!

Madeline was great! She was super easy to get in touch with, communicated very well, and set expectation. Drop off was easy and pick up was the same. Our dog Boulder was in great spirits and seemed to enjoy himself. I highly recommend!

Madeline was great. She sent daily updates and pictures and really liked my dog. He seemed to like it there too! Normally when I board him, he comes home not acting like himself. When I picked him up from Madeline's, he was his happy normal self right away!

My dog Milo had a great time with the other dog friends and Maddie and was worn out by the time I picked him up! She sent pics every day too so I knew he was doing good :)

Information Madeline W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog has special needs, gets along with cats and other dogs, size of dog, energy level, typical day, and anxieties. We <3 goldens, and all breeds of smaller babies. :)

A typical day

About once or twice a week, I will go to a dog park, so your babies will have some great exercise! On Saturdays, I go whitewater kayaking, and will have my personal sitter watch your babies at my house for 5-6 hours, so they will not be alone. If you're dogs love the water, I will likely take them to the river to go swimming, because my puppy loves it too! About every 2 hours, they will get a potty break and ample exercise in my backyard by playing with each other and chasing balls. Your dog is able to sleep anywhere they prefer, but I've noticed that most dogs love to sleep with me on my bed, which is perfect. It helps me live my best life. Know, that if you book with me, your dog will have so much fun they'll look forward to every subsequent booking!
