Information Madison W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know a few things before I meet you and your dog(s) such as; how many dogs do you have?, what kind of training do they possess, do they have any Behavioral issues?, do they have any phobias that you're aware of?, are they social around other dogs and or humans?, do they have any medical needs or precautions that I should know?, are they allergic to anything? The main point is to share anything and everything about your dog(s) so that I am aware of things and especially so that your dog(s) (or cat[s]) can receive the best care when you're away.

A typical day

I enjoy going on walks and hikes with dogs. If they enjoy playing fetch and or anything else I'm more than happy to indulge in their games!

Insured, Animal Lover, Trainer

Pet care experience

*Currently only accepting cat clients with flexible booking times during the work week and weekend bookings* Greetings! My name is Madison and I am an animal lover and activist. Throughout the years I have had experiences with all sorts of animals, anything from hamsters to even snakes. I currently own 3 dogs, 3 cats, a cockatiel, 3 parakeets, 4 goats, and 2 horses. I've had experience with pocket pets and exotics such as hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas, rabbits, hedgehogs, and bearded dragons. When it comes to dogs I've had personal experiences with all sizes of dogs. I also get a lot of experience with many types of dogs due to volunteering. I help with the kennel enrichment program which means i interact with the dogs by walking, playing, training, etc to aid in their stay at the kennels until they find their forever homes. I have had experience with big and small, calm and hyper, as well as behaved and the not so behaved. The breeds I've taken care of: - Chihuahua - Pomeranian - miniature pinscher - dachshund - pitbull - German Shepherd - Sharpei - Border Collie - Australian Cattle Dog - American Bull Dog - Great Dane - Grey Hound - Great Pyrenees - Antolian Shepherd And many more!

This was our second time booking Madison to take care of our kitties while we traveled and we are so happy that we did! She really knows how to read them and make them comfortable. Great communication and her daily reports gave me so much peace while being away. 10/10
