Pet care experience
Ever since I was a kid, I've loved dogs. Growing up since I was 10 or so, my family always had dogs and even cats; a Beagle, Great Danes, Great Pyrenees, mutts, and Mountain Curs. I've been around small dogs, giant dogs, fed them, trained them to follow commands, walked them, played with them, bathed them, and given medication when needed in a timely manner on a followed schedule. I adore dogs, and any animal for that matter, and enjoy spending time around them. I'm a multitasker, and am used for caring up to 5 dogs all at once, especially if they're on the big side. I'm also fond and experienced with cats, and am happy to watch any, alongside dogs or on their own! I am currently looking for a permanent job right now, and am not so freely available for Rover anymore. However until that job is found, I do not know my actual schedule. I've grown up always having my dogs in a fenced yard, taking them out to play and cleaning up any messes they made. Walking them around the neighborhood daily, cleaning up messes made on the way, and keeping them entertained. Dogs like a lot of enrichment, and it's important to keep them entertained and work out their energy so they aren't hyperactive and terrorizing your furniture or home. Whatever schedule or training you want for your dog, I'll follow and do it.
Reviews
Madison took care of my 4 pets- 3 cats and a 6 month old puppy, she stayed with them for a few days of house sitting. She sent lots of updates and overall I got a good vibe from her. Coming home my pets were all happy and well taken care of. Our house looks just like how we left it. I’ll hire Madison again in the future!
Madison is amazing. So thoughtful, really calm demeanor, even around my two, very crazy, pretty rambunctious, fairly large dogs. Highly recommend.
Took wonderful care of our very anxious dog. Definitely would rebook!
Madison took care of my mother in law’s cat while she was away for two nights. She kept us updated on how the cat was and sent pictures. She has the touch with cats because she got Callie to come out from underneath the bed for some lives the second visit! Will definitely use her again!!!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
The most important thing to me is that the dogs are comfortable. It's their home, and I'm just a guest. I do my best to make sure they're relaxed and don't deviate from what's normal for them, be it feeding schedules and playtimes or required walks and so on.
Information Madison M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs such as specific food restrictions, medications, extra care, etc. If they have some kind of disorder or condition that may affect their care, please let me know so I can properly care for them effectively during stays and visits.
A typical day
I love to explore, and dogs do too! When walking, I'll take them out to explore their neighborhood and whatever areas the owners deem acceptable to walk their dogs in. I can take them to the park if wanted. I'll help stimulate them with games using toys or treats if treats are permitted - tug-of-war, hide and seek (treat), fetch, and so on. I also like to train dogs simple commands like sitting or laying down.

Availability
I don't currently have other jobs at the moment, however I am looking to get a job and so my schedule may change quite easily. As I do not know what my schedule will be like or the job, I can no longer gurantee being available for most sits.
