Nob Hill Experienced Dog Lover

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Madie and I love dogs! I have my own two year old black lab and prior to owning her I volunteered for the Humane Center in Santa Barbara, DAWG Humane Center in Santa Barbara as well as fostered dogs for both Humane Centers. While going to college in Santa Barbara I also had 4 different clients with dogs that I was constantly watching. From pugs to chihuahua's, pitbulls, mastiffs, great danes I watch and love them all! The pugs that I watched (for over 4 years in total) were quite old and on a lot of medications, so I am extremely comfortable with administering all types of meds. I live in a very central location close to Layfette Park. I can also offer free pick-up and drop-off within San Francisco city limits. Why I love dog sitting I have always loved dogs. I grew up with two smaller dogs back home in Utah, a yorkie and a maltise. When I went to college I immediately began watching dogs for people when they went out of town and volunteered at the humane center to spend more time with dogs. A couple years ago a friend of mine had puppies and I fell in love with my Lola :) Meet my pets Lola: Lola is a 2 year old, Black Labrador. She is so sweet! Her interests include tennis balls, long walks and sniffing other dogs bums. She loves all animals big or small and especially loves to cuddle. About my yard We have a fenced, communal deck area with a dog run.

Madie, Thomas and Lola all deserve 5 stars! My Yorkie Bentley had a great time staying with the three of them. I received several updates and photos each day of Bentley playing or going on walks in the park. I would recommend Madie to anyone.

Madie, her boyfriend Thomas, and their dog Lola were amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better experience and my dog Harold loved staying with them! They took Harold on adventures and trips to the park...it was like he had his own mini vacation! Madie sent me pictures/videos of Harold all throughout his stay with them...it made me feel so comfortable and happy to see Harold was in good hands. I would HIGHLY recommend Madie to everyone!

Madie and her boyfriend took care of my dog, Max, over a long weekend while I was out of town. Every day, I received 2-3 photos of Max hanging out with them indoors or out on a day trip. I loved knowing that Max was having a great time with them and will continue to have Max stay with them in the future.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I walk my dog to either Layfette or Huntington Park - there are always a lot of other dogs there for fun and I always have a tennis ball and chuck it. On the weekends I like to go to Golden Gate Park or Duboce and even sometimes Alamo. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog can sleep in our bed, on his/her dog bed or on the couch - whereever they are most comfortable! Time I'll spend with your dog During the week I work 9am to 5pm, but typically come home for an hour during lunch and have one work from home day a week that I will schedule around when I have dogs in the home. During the weekends I will spend a majority of my time with your pup.
