Availability
I work from home full-time, which allows me to offer flexible pet care! While I do prefer your pet to stay with me so I can give them the best care throughout the day, I can also accommodate daily visits or home stays depending on my work environment and availability. If you’re looking for daily visits or a home stay, I just ask that your pet’s space is comfortable and that I can provide the attention they need while balancing work. I’m dedicated to keeping them happy, entertained, and safe while I’m working! If you have any special requests or need to discuss a specific schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’ll make sure we find the best fit for you and your pet. 🐾

Safety, trust & environment
When your pet stays with me, they’ll have their own large indoor private space giving them a quiet, comfortable area to call their own. Whether they want to curl up for a nap or enjoy some playtime, they'll have the freedom to relax in their own area. Since I work from home, I’m around all day to keep them company, give them potty breaks, and provide plenty of attention. If your pet enjoys snuggling, I’m more than happy to share the couch for some extra cozy moments. I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can see how your pet is doing while they’re in their home-away-from-home! Additional information and requirements for boarding: *PLEASE READ* Boarding Requirements: All pets must be up to date on: -Vaccinations -Monthly flea/tick prevention -Monthly heartworm prevention (My personal pets are held to the same standards for everyone's safety) -Crate training is preferred, but flexible based on the dog’s size and needs. -Owners must confirm whether I have permission to take their pet to the vet in case of an emergency. -I remain available via phone or messenger for updates and communication throughout the stay. I am more than happy to take as many photos and videos as you need :) Pet Interaction Policy: While my own dogs will be present in the home, your pet will stay in a separate area and will not interact with them. This is to ensure the safety and comfort of both your pet and mine. Doggy playdates can be arranged based on your pet’s size and temperament.

Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Madison—former shelter/rescue worker turned specialty animal hospital administrator turned full-time WFH corporate girlie and dog mom. With years of hands-on experience handling everything from wiggly puppies to sweet seniors, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate vibe to every dog I meet. I’ve worked with all temperaments, sizes, and medical needs. Need meds given? No problem. Need someone who won’t freak out over a surprise poop situation? Also no problem. My goal is to keep your pet happy, healthy, and excited to hang with their new bestie. 🐾

Reviews
I would hire Madison over and over again! She took great care of our 2 dogs in our home. She has a genuine love of animals and takes her responsibility seriously. She followed instructions and even sent updates and photos for our peace of mind. I also felt good knowing her extensive background/knowledge of working in pet rescue and clinics over the years. It gives me great relief and comfort to be able to know my fur "babies" are being loved and cared for while I'm away from them. Madison does just that!
Madison is our neighbor and is always willing to help out with our two big, very needy dogs, Merle and Fred. They’re obsessed with her! It’s such a relief knowing they’re getting so much attention while we’re away. So glad she’s right next door!
