Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm Madilyn. I have lived with all kinds of animals my whole life, and I have been caring for animals professionally for over 5 years. All breeds and sizes are welcome with me. I am a Fear Free certified professional, certified to work with anxious and reactive dogs. I understand those "weird" dogs that we love so much that may just need a bit more patience and understanding! Safety is my top priority! I have multiple years of experience working in a shelter/kennel environment professionally, and have worked with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, reptiles, snakes, fish, rabbits, and small rodents. I am well versed and knowledgable in dog behavior and body language. I am set to graduate from the Vet Tech Institute this February 2023. I am trained to give oral medications, topical medications, IM and SubQ injections, as well as basic first aid including CPR. I look forward to helping you and your furry family members!
Reviews
Madilyn is a wonderful caregiver for dogs. Always very pleasant and leaves descriptive summaries of your dog's day. Recommend 100%!
Madilyn has been surrounded with dogs (and many other animals) her entire life. She is incredibly loving and knowledgeable about caring for all pets - dogs in particular. She is trustworthy and I would highly recommend Madilyn to care for my dog or anyone else's. Theresa M.
I have known Madilyn for 4 years and her interactions with animals has always been respectful, kind, patient, and loving. From cats and dogs as pets of family friends or her own to others’ animals such as horses, small rodents (rabbits, chinchillas) reptiles, aquatic animals, and so on. She has always worked with animals (occupationally) and she has been around probably every breed, size and temperament of dog. I highly recommend her because she is professional, easy to get along with and an honest and trustworthy person.

I'm not at the moment offering any house services as I have a reactive dog at home, as well as cats. My home is a full furry friend capacity!
Information Madilyn C. would like to know about your pet
Before I meet a pet I'd like to know their name (and nicknames!), breed, if they have any current training plans or need a training regiment implemented on walks or visits, if they have any significant medical concerns, if they have any specific fears, and if they like treats! I do not have any breed preferences. I have experience with all breeds from Yorkies to Mastiffs and everything inbetween!
A typical day
Mental stimulation and enrichment is super important to me! I love finding new ways to enrich your dog and cat's minds and keep away boredom and stress. I am open to whatever your pet prefers, whether it be slow sniffy walks, hikes, playing with toys at home, or just hanging out together.
