Availability
I’m home from work by 3:30 p.m. each day, so evenings are wide open for walks, playtime, and quality time with pups. My husband is also home to help care for your pup, which means plenty of love and attention to go around. Weekends give me even more flexibility, so your dog will get lots of snuggles and care while staying with us.

Safety, trust & environment
In your home, I follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure — whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. I always make sure fresh water, potty breaks, and plenty of love are part of each visit. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pup is happy and well‑cared for.

Information Madelyn D. would like to know about your pet
Please share any important details that will help me give your pet the best care possible. This can include their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, energy level, and any quirks or habits. Let me know about medical needs, allergies, or medications, as well as how they interact with other animals or people. I’d also like to know their comfort level with being handled, walked, or crated, and any commands they know. The more I know, the more I can make them feel safe and happy while you’re away!
A typical day
For pups who come for daycare or boarding, we have a fenced-in private dog park where they can run, play fetch, or explore at their own pace—one dog at a time, so it’s always safe and stress-free. On walks, we’ll get plenty of exercise and sniffing time, and I’ll adjust the pace to your dog’s needs. During drop-ins, we can play their favorite games, work on tricks, or just enjoy cuddle time if they prefer something calmer. My goal is to make every visit fun, engaging, and tailored to your dog’s personality.

Pet care experience
I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have cared for pups of all ages and sizes. My husband and I love welcoming dogs into our home for boarding, and we treat every pup like part of the family. We have a Black Mouth Cur of our own, and through training him I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience. From walks and feeding to playtime and cuddles, I make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. We also have access to a fenced-in dog park that we love to take our dog to so they can run and play (always one dog at a time to keep things safe and stress-free). For drop-in visits, I’m happy to stop by your home to make sure your pup is cared for in their own comfortable space. Whether that means feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’ll give your dog the attention they need so you can feel confident they’re being well taken care of. I also love sending lots of photos and videos so you can see how your pup is doing and feel connected while you’re away.
Reviews
Madelyn, her husband Devin, and their dog Dobby took great care of our dog Luna (border collie). I received regular updates and photos on how and what Luna was doing. She got a lot of play time outside in the nearby dog park. I recognized how comfortable Luna was because she snuggled with Madelyn and Dobby on the couch :-) It was apparent that Luna enjoyed her time with them. I would strongly recommend Madelyn and Devin and definitely use them again.
Madelyn was an amazing dog sitter! She was incredibly kind and attentive to all the details we provided, including giving our pup medication twice a day. We received regular updates and adorable photos throughout the weekend, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dog instantly bonded with Madelyn’s dog—they even snuggled on the couch together! It was clear our pup felt right at home. We would absolutely recommend Madelyn to anyone looking for a loving and responsible sitter!
Madelyn took great care of Bruno! Bruno and her dog, Dobby, had so much fun. She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos!
I booked last minute and Madelyn did such a great job with my boy! She was so accommodating to my few extra requests and the pictures show my boy felt safe and comfortable with her. Luca would love to see her again!
