Pet care experience
Please Note!: I love all animals dearly, but unfortunately I can no longer offer cat care due to a severe allergy. :’( Hablo español! Hi! I'm Madi. I'm a student at James Madison University, and I'm looking forward to school breaks when I can come home to take care of your wonderful pups! I've been a dog owner for over 10 years, and I have several years of experience petsitting and dog walking. My friends and family constantly call me "the dog whisperer." (I have a dog currently; his name is Zeke, but he lives with my mom in Richmond, so I do not have any pets at the house I will be using for Rover. Your pup will be my priority!) I used to work as a veterinary assistant, so I have professional training in handling animals, and I know how to give flea checks and administer medication as well! I'm also comfortable with handling dogs over 100 pounds, and I can send you pictures and updates on how your dogs are doing while you're away! I'm also a runner, so if any of your dogs like to go on runs, I'm happy to run with them. I live in a house with my dad, and he loves dogs just as much as I do. Can't wait to get started and meet some of your lovely canine companions!
Reviews
Madi & her family were wonderful! We'll definitely look to use them again in the future!
Our very picky dog had a great time with Madi and her dad. We usually have one family member missing from our vacations to stay back with our dog because of his temperament, but we went on a week-long cruise totally at ease with leaving Rico with Madi and her family. It was our first time using a sitter since our dog seems to only accept family members, but both Madi and Rico survived each other! He seemed to really be enjoying himself in the pictures I got while on vacation and when I picked him up. We couldn't have been happier and will definitely be repeat clients.
Madi was great - on time and responsive!
My dog was VERY happy to see me but he clearly had a great time with Madi and her family. We were only gone for two days and got two pictures and saw more when we picked him up.

Information Madi S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any medical problems, medications, or allergies that I need to know about. I also always ask about temperament; when out on walks, if they're friendly to other dogs or if they should stay away, and how they are when meeting new people. I'll also need to know how to contact your veterinarian in case of emergency.
A typical day
I'll give your dog lots of love, cuddles, and walks! I love spending extra time playing with them, or even just sitting with them and watching TV for a while so they're not lonely while you're away.
