Teacher seeks time with pets!
Pet care experience
I am a high school teacher, lifelong dog lover, current cat mom, and avid walker. I have never met a dog I haven’t liked, so I am very excited to become friends with yours. If I can handle high schoolers, I can most certainly handle the rowdiest of pups. I have had pets my entire life, and I have been caring for my family’s dogs since I was a child. I have experience with dogs of many different breeds and sizes; from stubborn German Shepherds, sweet Bernese Mountain dogs, and frenetic Jack Russel Terriers. I have walked dogs of all different sizes. Growing up, my family had three dogs, and I would frequently walk them all together. I am also very good at reading a dogs mood; I know when they are upset, happy, nervous, or overwhelmed and can act accordingly to keep them safe and happy on their walks. I have been dog sitting for neighbors and friends since I was 13, which gives me over a decade and a half of experience. I am completely comfortable giving pets medication, keeping them on a feeding schedule, and just hanging out with them to make sure they aren’t lonely. Help me make my summer awesome by letting my spend time with your fur babies! It would be my pleasure.
Reviews
Madeline was amazing, she made sure Cos was well taken car of while we were gone. On the days they couldn't go for a walk she spent time inside with him, made sure I got pictures everyday and an update for every drop in visit! Will definitely use her again!
So, so, so awesome that Madeline helped me out on short notice and without meeting my baby first. She did everything she said she would and more!!!! She even brought my packages in from the front door ?. She has a retuning client in me for sure.
Madeline was wonderful with my kitty! Ziva really enjoyed the playtime and extra attention. Madeline was very quick and responsive to messages. I loved the pictures of my cat enjoying her Rover time. Madeline made me feel confident my cat was well taken care of while I was gone.
Madeline did a great job watching our cat, Zander! She followed our care instructions so well, and gave us updates each day. It is nice to know that your fur baby is in good hands! ?
