Dog care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I currently dedicate myself full-time to providing reliable care through Rover. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, feeding routines, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I enjoy creating a consistent and stress-free environment where dogs feel comfortable, cared for, and part of my daily routine.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for dogs in a client’s home. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special instructions so they feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable while their owners are away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any house rules already in place to help keep your dog’s routine consistent and stress-free. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds. I also believe respecting your home is just as important as caring for your dog. I clean up after pets, wash food and water bowls, tidy up common areas, and complete light household cleaning throughout my stay. I take pride in leaving homes neat, organized, and often cleaner than when I arrived. Many clients have mentioned in their reviews that they came home to a cleaner house and happy, well-cared-for pets. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication throughout each stay so owners can feel comfortable knowing their dogs are in loving, dependable hands. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where both dogs and owners feel completely at ease. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, ensuring they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away.

Information Madilyn C. would like to know about your pet

Prior to providing pet care services, I ensure I obtain all essential information to maintain each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being. This includes details regarding temperament, daily routine, feeding schedule, medical history, allergies, medications, and any behavioral considerations such as triggers, leash behavior, or reactivity to people or other animals. I also confirm bathroom and exercise routines, crate or sleeping preferences, and any specific instructions related to household safety or access. Additionally, I request emergency contact information and veterinary details to ensure preparedness in any situation. My approach is to closely follow the pet’s established routine and care instructions to provide consistent, reliable, and attentive care.

A typical day

A typical day with the dogs I care for includes plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I like to keep dogs on their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and downtime. Depending on each dog’s personality and energy level, activities can include walks, outdoor play, fetch, tug-of-war, enrichment games, cuddles, basic training reinforcement, and relaxing companionship. I enjoy keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated while also making sure they feel safe and stress-free in their environment. For puppies and high-energy dogs, I focus on extra playtime and activity to help burn energy in a positive way. For senior dogs or calmer dogs, I make sure they have a relaxed, comfortable routine with gentle care and attention. I also love providing photo and video updates throughout the day so owners can see their dogs happy, active, and well cared for while they’re away.

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy and take pride in. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels through shelter volunteering, helping with family dogs, raising my own, and working professionally as a K9 Coach (Playroom Attendant), where I supervised dogs in group play settings while maintaining a safe, structured, and positive environment. I’m experienced with: • Daily walks and exercise • Feeding routines and fresh water care • Puppies and senior dogs • High-energy and large breeds • Playtime and enrichment • Medication administration if needed • Multi-dog households • Reading dog body language and behavior

This is the 3rd time I have asked for Madilyn. My dogs love her and she is attentive and takes great care of them. She sends pictures and keeps me updated about everything I need to know. I won't hesitate requesting Madilyn again!

Madilyn was very professional and friendly. She took great care of our shy 3 yo rescue. She was patient and nurturing and sent us photos daily. She also showed great care in our home and left everything extra clean.

Madilyn did a great job watching my two mini poodles for several days while I was out of town. She left my home cleaner than when she arrived and my girls had a great time with her!!

The way I could not recommend Madilyn enough. She managed all 3 of our pups beautifully and always sent us pictures and updates while we were gone. She was so attentive and our dogs seemed so happy throughout her visit and when we got home. She is also amazing with big/high energy dogs. She also took great care of our home and made sure we came back to a clean place and happy pups. We will definitely be requesting her services again in the future.
