Availability

I have a remote job so I am home most of the time but I do have dog walks during the day or times when I have to leave home. With my schedule unfortunately I am not able to watch dogs that have separation anxiety or issues being alone. I am not normally gone for long periods of time but it can be about 2-5 hours on some days.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a single family home with a fully fenced in backyard. I am home mostly all day and keep dogs with my in our main living space. Being home, I have the ability to let dogs out for potty breaks frequently if needed. If we do leave, I make sure to keep pets in a safe place, or in a kennel if requested by the owner. I do have a 6 month old child so I would only be able to take dogs that are child friendly. I also have 2 cats, so they would need to be cat friendly as well if they stay in our home.

Information Madilyn O. would like to know about your pet

I like to know a pets temprement prior to watching them so I can be prepared. I have worked with reactive dogs, shy or nervous dogs and everything inbetween. I have no issue with any temprement but want to be ready for what I need to do.

A typical day

I love to be outside and active so going on many walks, to parks or lakes (if safe and approved) would be activities we could do! My 2 dogs also loves dog friends and sun bathing so we try to be outside as often as we can! When its cold, I have multiple dog puzzles, play mats and toys I use to keep dogs entertained and mentally stimulated. Walks generally take place around my neighborhood but I love to take Mowgli and Roo (my dogs) to other locations around the area!

Animal lover! Will treat as my own!

Pet care experience

I have loved all animals since I was little and have been working with dogs for about 15 years. I absolutely love all dogs of any breed, size and temperament! I have one black lab rescue mix and recently adopted a second mutt from Mexico! I also have 2 cats that are twins and amazing! One is 6 the other is 1! I worked at doggy day cares for many years and have been around all dogs, working with them and learning more about every breed throughout the years. I am working on becoming a certified dog trainer as well which will provide a lot of knowledge and care for every dog I work with! I do know many important medical signs for dogs to help keep them safe if any emergency situation did occur. I currently work remotely for a pet telehealth app called Petzey! So I have vet professionals I can call through an app on my phone if anything happens while I am with any pet! Everything I do in my life revolves around pets! My dogs and cats along with my current job! I wake up and plan my day according to my pets or other pets I may be watching. I ensure I have enough time for anything amd everything that is needed. Pets are family and thats how I treat every single one I come across! I treat every single pet like they are my own! With the same care, love, caution and concern! I make aure to care for other pets the way I would want mine to be care for. I want to ensure every person feels comfortable and confident when away from their pets that they will be in great hands!

Luna had a week long stay while we were on vacation. She feels right at home and we know she is in safe hands. Thank you again for watching her!

The BEST! I could not have been happier with the care and attention that Madilyn gave my three cats. Her communication was fantastic, her Rover cards full of info and pictures, and her kindness is very evident. I will not hesitate to book with her again.
