I just happened to see Madison walking her dog down our street one day a year or so ago. I inquired of her if she would consider walking our dog. She said that of course she would like to do that. We agreed on a very reasonable fee and set up a weekly schedule. Our dog, Buddy, and she love each other! She cares to bring to our attention an issue she might have observed with Buddy - favoring a paw etc. She is most dependable and trustworthy. In our absence she has access to our home to feed Buddy and to give him his medications. As a dog caregiver, she is in class by herself,most intelligent, articulate and personable. She has taken vet tech courses in college is quite knowledgeable. On a 10 pt scale we give her a 10+.
