Madelyn can care for
Availability
I work part-time bartending in the evenings and spend a few days a week making homemade beef jerky and dog treats during the day, so my schedule tends to stay pretty flexible. This allows me to accommodate a variety of booking times — especially mid-morning and afternoon visits. Drop-in visits are something I really enjoy, and I’m happy to discuss scheduling that fits your pet’s routine. Whether it’s quick check-ins, walks, or some company while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make it work around my current commitments.

About Madelyn P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding schedule, and any special instructions before each visit. I treat every animal the same way I care for my own dog — with patience, consistency, and plenty of love. I make sure their space stays tidy, follow all care directions closely, and give them the attention they need to feel secure while you’re away. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and right at home until you return.
Information Madelyn P. would like to know about your pet
Communication is key! I am patient with all dog types, so it definitely helps to know and understand the pet's likes and dislikes. My main goal is to make sure they are taken care of and are comfortable.
A typical day
I love walking in general, so long walks will be a must. If allowed, I enjoy taking the pups to a fenced park so they can really let out their energy. I am familiar with most if not all basic dog toys, so whatever is your pet's favorite we will have a great time. Cuddles are always included, as it makes me more happy than the pet (debatable).

Pet care experience
Howdy there, I'm Mady! My love for animals started early — when I was just 9 years old, I launched my first pet-sitting business by handing out flyers around the neighborhood. Before long, I had two regular clients whose dogs I walked and cared for while they were away. That experience sparked a lifelong passion for animal care that’s never faded. Today, as a devoted dog owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s hands. I treat every animal like my own — with patience, reliability, and genuine affection. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.
Reviews
Madelyn has been rivers dog walker for over 6 months and we couldn’t be happier with her. She is very responsive, over communicates, and most importantly, River loves her!
Madelyn has been great with our puppy Goose. We know he can be a handful at times but she is so caring and even offers helpful suggestions. Very communicative and always on time. Couldn’t have asked for a better Rover.
Madelyn is so communicative and took top-notch care of my big boy. He was a little hesitant about a new person in his space but she was patient and knew how to navigate his anxiety. Highly recommend her!
Mady was amazing and took such amazing care of our old man. We were out of town during the freeze, and were so worried about getting home. She was so communicative and supportive throughout, she definitely made a bad situation feel more manageable. She dripped our faucets and turned on the pool as needed, and helped make sure our old guy was safe and comfortable on the ice. Our home was in amazing condition after she left, and we received updates and pictures while gone as well. Will definitely be using again :)
