Student- home full time in summer

Pet care experience

The care I provide is very important to me. If I see a dog out in public, I can't help but admire it and pet it if permitted. For two years, I worked in a retirement home as a server and personal helper to the residents. Then I started dog-sitting for close family and friends. I grew up taking care of my grandmother's dogs, my aunt's dogs, and my dad's four dogs. I have taken care of breeds such as mastiffs, labs, corgis, terriers, Australian shepherds, Pomeranians, Yorkies, shih tzus, and more. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12, and I started making money off of it at age 16. During the summer I have open availability, and during the school year I can work every day except Tuesdays and Thursdays because I have classes those days. I absolutely love animals and I believe they deserve the most attentive, loving, and special care. With me your animals are ensured to feel safe and at home even with their people being miles away.

Madison did a great job taking care of our dog. Lot's of pictures were sent during our trip. He was in good health when we picked him up!

It was really difficult communicating with Madison. Did not know what she needed or wanted. Offered for her to house sit because she was concerned about barking if he was at her house even though he is not a barker. She didn’t seem confident taking care of a big dog. He seemed ok when we got home & was fed & walked so basic needs were met. That is all we can ask for.

Madison has cared for my three dogs while we have been on vacation for two weeks, gone for a whole day, and when we were all home. With two of them being 15 years old, they have to go outside frequently, and Madison is always the first to offer to walk them, even though she visits as a guest. Madison and I are very close, so we do a lot of things together. When we go shopping and Madison sees a dog, she has to introduce herself and give it her love. Madison provides food, treats, love, grooming, exercise and attention to our pets at all times. We have a Yorkie Pomeranian, a Pomeranian, and a Schichon, and with two of them being 15, they need a lot of guidance because they can't hear well and one of them is completely blind. Madison is always watching out for them, and she would honestly do anything for them. I've known Madison for three years and she watches her parent's four dogs, her grandmother's dog, her friends' dogs, and my dogs often and she always wants to do so for free, which shows how enjoyable it is for her. She is a great person and I absolutely trust and believe that she is keeping them happy and safe because she believes that they deserve that and more.
