A tired dog is a happy dog
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very young when I got my first dog Diamond at 12 years old and trained her all on my own. She’s now 10 and loving life although she is now blind. I have experience with a variety of breeds and all shapes and sizes. I currently have (besides Diamond) Charlie, a 5 year old Belgian Malinois and Daisy a 2 year old Beagle. I’ve taken care of my families dogs when they go on vacation, a large Mastiff named Rambler, a chihuahua named Ryder, a pit bull named Amber, a Maltese named Sadie Rose and many more. I have experience with dogs with behavior issues and general shyness, such as reactivity, fear aggression, hyperactivity, and more. I also Have experience with special needs pets, dogs that were recovering from mange, dogs with ocd and anxiety who take medication daily, dogs who need to be fed exactly on time to prevent acid reflux issues, and my own blind dog diamond. I also have experience with other animals including horses, rabbits, hamsters, turtles, bearded dragons, birds, snakes, and of course cats, so any other animals you might have I am totally comfortable with as well.
Reviews
Madelyn is an animal lover to the core. She is kind and gentle to all creatures big and small and they hold a special place in her heart. She has grown up around dogs, cats, horses, ferrets, rabbits, squirrels and hamsters and understands the care and nurturing they require. She forms a special bond with all that she meets and I call her the animal whisperer. She treats every animal as if there were her own and loves then unconditionally and they love her. She loves the outdoors so walking dogs and caring for other peoples pets comes naturally to her.
Madelyn is a hard worker and knows how to get things done. She’s very knowledgeable on all things dogs and has experience with dogs of every shape, size and temperament. She’s very curious and stays in the know about all things dog including different foods, toys, leashes, as well as how to recognize different temperaments and body motions/alerts of dogs. Overall, she’s a very passionate animal person and wants what’s best for the dog as wells as their owners.

I have access to multiple dog parks and I’m only 3 minutes away from a local vet clinic. I have many friends who would be willing to give your dog some extra love while in my care, and I love being outdoors so your dog would get plenty of time being exercised and loved on.
Information Madelyn H. would like to know about your pet
I love high energy dogs but I’m also totally okay if your dog is a couch potato!
A typical day
If the dog and owner are comfortable with their dog going to dog parks, I would take them to play at multiple dog parks around the city and take them walking on nature trails all around the city. I would also bathe them with permission, and maybe take them to the pet store.
