Full supervision, dog parks, walks!

Pet care experience

Welcome to my Rover page! Note, returning clients get a discounted rate on boarding ($20/night instead of $24). Just be sure to remind me to apply the discount before booking. A bit about myself: my name is Madison, and I'm currently a graduate student at Georgia State University. I've been pet sitting since I was 16 (mostly for friends and neighbors), and I have my own pup, Rogi. Rogi is a rescue dog and has separation anxiety. He's well-behaved and loves playing with other animals (cats included), but because of his separation anxiety, I try not to leave him home alone very often. So short stays with me will be completely supervised, and I'll do my best to ensure longer stays with me will be the same. But just in case I need to do a grocery run, I do ask that dogs staying for two or more nights come with a crate. I do my best to stay at home unless I'm taking the pets on a walk or to the dog park. And dog park visits are only with your expressed permission. Needless to say, I love animals! During my undergraduate years, I volunteered weekly at a local animal shelter. There, I picked up some pet CPR and First Aid knowledge. Thankfully, I haven't had to apply any of that knowledge--I try to minimize hazards by keeping my home secure and clean and by using toys that match the size of the animals I'm sitting. My neighborhood is large, making it great for long walks. I try to walk Rogi once or twice each day, and our walks are usually about 45 minutes long. But I'm happy to meet the needs of your pup if he/she needs more or less exercise! My home has a fenced-in backyard, but it's a small backyard--that's why I frequent the dog park and take long walks. And my home itself isn't very large, but nevertheless, the dogs and I always manage to get lots of play in! I also offer some complimentary services with boarding and day care! Let me know if your pup needs a nail trimming, bathing, or brushing. I have a variety of dog shampoos, but I'm happy to use anything you provide! And as far as brushes go, you may or may not need to provide one (depending on the type of coat your pup has). Of course, we can talk more about your needs if you send me a message! In short, I'd love to meet you and your furbaby! If you have any questions or want to schedule a meet and greet, definitely reach out--I can travel just about anywhere, and I'm willing to accommodate special needs dogs and dogs of any size! Also, I do live with my boyfriend, so he might be snuggling with your fubaby at times. But he works late hours and is rarely home on the weekends, so most pups will just enjoy me!

Great communication. Addie had a great time. She told us she made a new friend and would like to visit her again.

Madison was such a pleasure to meet. She was very accommodating and took great care of our Maddie girl while we were away. Thank you Madison!

Thank you for walking Maggie with such short notice and in the rain! You are awesome! I can’t believe you almost walked TWO miles in 30 minutes. Surely there was some running/jogging involved. Thank you. Maggie was so happy with her walk! Now she’s pooped for the day. ?

Madison took great care of Nessie and sent plenty of updates and pictures! I felt very comfortable leaving my pup in her care and will definitely use her again!

Information Madison B. would like to know about your pet

All dogs are welcome! I do have my own pup, so as long as your dog plays well with others and is (for the most part) potty trained, they're absolutely welcome. I do like to know if your dog has any favorite toys or if there are any special care instructions, of course. And if you feel any other information about your pet is pertinent, do let me know!

A typical day

I'm happy to take your dog on a nice long walk around my neighborhood. I also frequent the local dog park, so if you wish, I can take your dog there for some play! I have special seat belts made specifically for our canine friends, so I can ensure your dog's safety on the short drive to the dog park. We'll also play lots of fetch! I have plush toys (without stuffing) and lots of balls, but if your dog just loves one particular toy that you can provide, we can play with that too! I'm pretty passionate about exercise, so I can incorporate it into just about any activity, even feeding. But let me know your dog's exercise needs or limitations beforehand. I won't engage in any activity you're uncomfortable with!
