Each morning starts with walking and feeding my own three dogs, which includes giving them individual attention and ensuring their specific dietary needs are met. Throughout the day, I manage client pet care, following their routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I also schedule time for grooming, health monitoring, and training sessions. My days include exercise and enrichment activities for both my dogs and client pets, helping maintain their well-being and addressing their unique needs. I regularly update clients with photos and notes, while still making sure my dogs receive the affection and care they deserve. This structured approach allows me to provide exceptional care for both my own pets and those of my clients.

Information Madolyn R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or medication needed! I want to ensure proper care and service for my clients.

A typical day

Interactive play is always a hit—whether it's playing fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek for dogs, or using feather wands or laser pointers for cats, these games can provide both exercise and entertainment. Outdoor adventures are another great option; for dogs, taking them on walks or to a dog park can be both stimulating and enjoyable, while smaller pets like rabbits or guinea pigs can benefit from safe, supervised outdoor time in a secure enclosure. Incorporating some training sessions can also be beneficial, as basic commands or trick training with positive reinforcement can be both fun and rewarding. Enrichment activities, such as puzzle toys for dogs or climbing structures for cats, can keep their minds sharp and satisfy their natural instincts. Finally, spending quality time with pets through cuddling, brushing, or simply relaxing together can strengthen your bond and provide a comforting experience for them. Tailoring these activities to each pet’s preferences and needs ensures that they are both happy and well-cared-for.

Pawsitively the Best!

Pet care experience

I have two dogs of my own, aged 3 & 6, and have been a dog owner throughout my life. We start each day with lots of cuddles and affection, followed by breakfast tailored to each dog’s diet and supplements. My dogs are walked daily and enjoy outings to the park, restaurants, and the river. I’ve taught basic commands and leash training. I believe every pet deserves the best, whether they're a playful puppy or a cherished senior. I offer personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, from teaching puppies their first commands and socializing them for a happy, well-adjusted life to providing gentle, compassionate care for senior dogs with special health needs. Trust Pawsitively the Best to keep your pets happy, healthy, and wagging their tails!

I am so happy I found Madolyn? She walked my separation anxiety filled dogs today. I was able to relax knowing she was taking care of of my babies.

Maddie is awesome! Showed up on time. Shot me a message when she was on her way. Sat and chatted for a bit and still walked by buddy Winston for a full hour. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. You should too. She obviously is a dog lover and enjoys her time with them. They’re in good hands.
