Availability

I typically walk my Bandit and guests twice a day, sometimes more when the weather is especially nice. Occasionally overlaps of bookings will happen and I would need to walk multiple guests separately depending on their size and tendency to pull. More walks mean shorter walks so I can fit them all within my workday. But on very nice days, I indulge my guests on longer walks in the afternoon.

Safety, trust & environment

I accept mostly boarding at my home at this time. I can accept some guests for day care on case by case basis. I do require meet and greets for all new guests. I have a fenced yard where my guests can run around and play. My guests also have freedom to wander in any part of my home, and generally welcome on my couch like my own pets. My kitchen can be closed off if needed, and this helps during mealtime. If your fur baby needs medication, I'm experienced in administering oral and topical medications.

Information Mady H. would like to know about your pet

I want to know the age and energy level of each of my guests. I also would like to be warned if a dog has a habit of jumping up on strangers as their way of saying hello. Does your fur baby pull when walked? if so, does he/she respond to "stop" or "heel"? I don't mind a little pulling, and I've done individual walks if necessary, instead of with Bandit. Also for larger/taller dogs please let me know if they tend to counter surf so I can put food out of their reach. Also, please let me know of any special diet, or if treats are allowed (I tend to be very generous with treats), and sleeping habits. I have a large crate and extra beds for my guests, but I also welcome their own bed/bedding.

A typical day

My guests can play in my backyard. I let my guests out in the backyard first thing in the morning, typically by 8am. Then I'll take my guest on a walk mid-day and possibly another one in the late afternoon, weather permitting. After some nap time, I'll play tug and fetch as well. I take TONS of pictures of my guests and share them with their owners. I just love their expressions, and just like myself, I know my pet parents can never have enough pictures of their fur baby. There is a bike path across the street from my home, where my family and I frequently take our own dogs. I keep a very close eye on my guests and pick up the poop on our walks Allen Pond Park is nearby, and I’ve taken some of my guests there.

Pet care experience

I have a dog loving family who spoil our Golden Retriever, Bandit, and a kitten, Onix. I live in a home in Bowie with a fenced yard, close to a dog park and a community park with a pond and bike path. I've loved dogs since childhood, and I will treat your beloved pet like they're my own. I am very generous with treats and I also let guests on the sofa/Lovesac - thank goodness for washable covers! NOTE: I will now charge an extra $10 flat fee for guests dropped off before 7am. Also please try to be as accurate with drop off and pick up times so I can plan around them. I will charge extra $5 per hour in cash beginning 2 hours after the times listed when reservation is made.

Ms. Mady checked in every day with a photos and videos of our babies. Letting us know that they had eaten, gone out, and play. She followed both of our babies food instructions amazingly. We truly enjoyed every photos and updates, sent to us daily, which eased our worries helping us to enjoy our trip. We highly recommend her service .

Mady kept in constant contact while taking care of our little one. She has been there for us twice and is our first pick for the future.
