Safety, trust & environment

I do not provide services at my home. I’m more than willing to visit and care for your pup at your home whenever it’s needed!

Information Madelyn C. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences, but I would love to know a dog's temperament before sitting them. Like whether they are timid or friendly, like to be more active or less active, etc.

A typical day

I love taking my dog out to dog-friendly parks and trails to get fresh air. We also go to dog parks and visit ice cream shops that have dog-friendly treats during the summer.

Care You Can Trust!

Pet care experience

I've been around dogs since I was six years old, and caring for animals has always been one of my greatest joys. My first pup was a cocker spaniel mix who was part of our family for 13 wonderful years. We also adopted a blind and deaf Shih Tzu at age 10 and gave him a cozy, loving home for his final two years. These days, I share my home with two spoiled corgis—Roy (5) and Bonnie (3)—who would be happy to welcome your furry friend into the pack! Special needs pets are welcome here. I have a soft spot for animals who need a little extra TLC. Whether your pet requires daily medication—tablets, pills, liquids, or even an inhaler—I'm comfortable and experienced with it all. Every pet deserves attentive care, and I'm happy to follow your routines to the letter. A note for reactive or anxious pups: I get it. Roy struggles with both, so I know firsthand how important it is to respect boundaries and create a calm, safe environment. Your nervous pup is in understanding hands here.

This is my second time working with Madelyn; she is great with my cats! And she dealt with all this crazy DC ice to care for them. Will be keeping her as my go-to! Thanks, Madelyn!
