Availability

Evening drop off/pick up times typically work better for our schedules especially during the weekdays. Weekends are typically more flexible! ☺️ I work part time so I may be gone for a few hours a day during your pets stay. Due to this I am unable to provide constant care, it’s important that your pet is comfortable being left alone for a few hours at a time while we’re away! We do have cameras, including a Furbo pet cam to keep an eye on our furry friends and ensure their safety when we are apart!

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Maddy, and my husband is Joseph! We are a military family who are originally from a small town in Pennsylvania! We have previously been stationed in California and DC, and just recently moved here to Rhode Island! In CA I began pet sitting on rover and fell in love with caring for pets who needed a place to call home while their owners were away! Now that we are here for my husbands new duty station, we are excited to meet new furry friends! We have two fur babies named Salem & Norman! Salem and Norman are both Tri-Color Pembroke Corgis, and are both 6 years old! Salem & Norman are each others best friend and are super friendly to dogs, cats, small animals and people! I have cared for many friends, family, and community members dogs while they were away, and have experience with both younger, older, smaller, bigger, and all types of breeds for 10+ years! I’ve been pet sitting for rover for 6 years now and have gotten to meet so many new furry friends! Our home is very pet friendly, pets are allowed on all the furniture, and we have a fenced in backyard for them to enjoy! We do ask that all pets are potty and crate trained prior to their stay! For stays lasting 7+ days we definitely recommend booking a trial night to make sure it will be a good fit for your pup throughout the duration of your trip. I also may provide drop off/pick up round trip for an additional cost -my housing does have breed restrictions for the following: Pit Bulls (American Staffordshire Bull Terriers or English Staffordshire Bull Terriers), Rottweilers, Doberman Pinchers, Chows, and wolf hybrids I will not be able to board these breeds in my home, if I can help you with drop ins at your home please let me know(:

Madison and Joseph did an excellent job of caring for my cats during drop in visits. They were prompt in their communications, followed instructions, and spent quality time with the cats during their visits. They were careful to alert me about a potential issue and followed up with me afterward. I wholeheartedly recommend them for pet care and hope to use them again in the future.

Maddie and Joe are wonderful hosts. It feels like our little buddy goes to sleep-away camp when they watch him. We highly recommend Maddie and Joe and are grateful to have them nearby.

I could not be happier with the service Madison provided. I came home from a three day trip to a very happy and stress free German Shepard. Madison did exactly what she promised and really helped put my mind at ease while I was away. I highly recommend and will use in the future. Thank You again.

Madison is the best!!!! Beau was so happy at her home with her fur babies! He's normally an anxious dog, but I was so pleased to see him so relaxed and obviously content when we picked him up yesterday! Madison sent me pictures of Beau everyday. He was happily hanging out on her couch with her adorable corgis and sassy cat! My dog had a ball! Madison is the sweetest dog sitter around!
