Pet care experience

Life is better with pets!

I am a kind-hearted, energetic, and dependable animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets. I have owned dogs since I was born and grew up with a family cat, giving me experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and EXXXTRA loved while you're away! In my free time, I also volunteer at a local animal shelter because I truly love being around animals and caring for pets of all ages and personalities.

Maddie was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond, she even took our dog to the vet when she developed a cough and administered meds. Gunner requires a lot of attention and exercise and she got both. We have never come home to a more mellow and happy dog. :) And the house was spotless!

I could not recommend Maddie enough as a caregiver for your furry family members. She is the biggest animal lover I know, pays attention to every little detail, is on time, responsible, and most importantly gives our pets the most love I’ve ever seen. I’ve never met a furry friend who wasn’t absolutely obsessed with Maddie and I always feel the most at ease when I know they’re with her and safe. Highly recommend her!!!

I highly recommend Madeline as a pet caregiver! She is incredibly responsible, dependable, and genuinely loves animals. She treats every pet with the same care and affection she gives her own, and I know she will always make their safety, happiness, and well-being a priority.

Madeline watched our dog while I was away, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. You can tell right away how much she genuinely loves animals. She kept us updated with tons of pictures, made sure our pup got plenty of attention, and treated her like she was her own. It made being away so much less stressful knowing she was in such good hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we'll definitely be reaching out to her again. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and trustworthy.

Madeline was an excellent dog sitter always leaving my dog happy and healthy. Whenever my dog is around her, she always gives her full attention to him and he loves her for it. Taking care of my dog requires patience and Madeline has exactly that. She is caring and responsible. (always leaving the house clean) I highly recommend having her as a dog sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I primarily provide care in clients' homes, where your pet or pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, but am happy to host small dogs in my own home! I will happily take the time to learn your pet's routine and follow it closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication schedule, while providing plenty of love and attention. My goal is to keep your pet/s happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with way too many photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands!

Pets

A typical day

I am happy to match your pup's energy! After growing up with a Belgian Malinois, I know how to keep up with even the most active adventure buddy, but I'm just as happy being a snuggly couch potato if that's more their speed. Whether it's long walks, games of fetch, enrichment activities, or quality cuddle time, I'll make sure your pup has a great time and gets the love and attention they deserve.

No detail is too small, I want to know it all! What are some of your pet's favorite and least favorite things? Do they prefer morning or evening Sniff-aris? What's their favorite walk route? Do they have any funny quirks, commands, fears, or special medical needs I should know about? I'm a big believer in communication, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and check-ins while you're away.
