Availability

I work for myself and primarily work remotely from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the day. If I need to step out for work, it’s usually only for a few hours, and I’m never far from home. I also love being outside, so if your dog is an adventure dog, I’m always happy to have a hiking or outdoor buddy! For dogs who prefer to stay closer to home, my large, fully fenced yard gives them plenty of space to play, sniff, and enjoy some fresh air without needing to go anywhere. I’m happy to match your dog’s routine and personality, whether they want an active day of walks and outdoor adventures or a quieter day of backyard time, naps, and lounging around the house.

About Madelyne V.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for a dog. I know that being in a new home with a new person can be stressful, so I’m patient and give each dog time to settle in and get comfortable at their own pace. I also have personal experience caring for a reactive dog, so I understand the importance of paying attention to body language, respecting boundaries, and being proactive about potential triggers. If a dog is comfortable and enjoys other dogs, I’m happy to gradually introduce them to my German Shepherd, Klaus. If they prefer their own space, my home has plenty of room to keep dogs comfortably separated when needed. I’ll always follow your instructions and prioritize what makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable during their stay.

Information Madelyne V. would like to know about your pet

Since I have a dog of my own and two indoor cats, it’s helpful for me to know anything that will make your pet more comfortable and help me give them the best care possible. In particular, I’d love to know if your dog is friendly and comfortable around other dogs and cats, or if they’d prefer their own space. Please also let me know about any food or toy guarding, reactivity, anxiety, separation anxiety, triggers, special needs, medications, escape tendencies, or anything else that could affect their care. The more I know about their personality, routines, and needs ahead of time, the better I can make sure everyone is comfortable and set up for a successful stay!

A typical day

My goal would be for their typical day to look a lot like it does at home. I’ll follow their normal feeding, exercise, and potty routines as closely as possible, while making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, outdoor time, and opportunities to relax.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Maddy! I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs and cats and have cared for my own pets throughout adulthood, including German Shepherds for the past 10 years. I live with my German Shepherd and two indoor cats, who are very much my babies, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I’ll care for them with that same level of love and attention. Horses were also a huge part of my childhood. I had my own horse growing up and cared for horses from fifth grade through high school, so I’m very comfortable around larger animals. I especially love big dogs and am comfortable with large or intimidating breeds. I own my home, which sits on an acre of land with a large, fenced backyard. There are no shared walls or homes stacked around us, so dogs staying with me have a private, peaceful space with plenty of room to play, sniff, and relax. I also work for myself, which gives me a completely flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time at home with your pets. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely at home while they’re here. I’m happy to follow their normal routines, give them plenty of attention, and send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.
