Highlights
Pet care experience
Guests are treated like family!
I have a dog loving family who spoil our Golden Retriever, Bandit, and cat, 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.

Ratings and reviews
As always, we had such a great experience with Mady! She was wonderful with our two senior pups and was incredibly patient, caring, and attentive to their needs. She communicated with us regularly and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pups were happy and well cared for when we got home. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gave them and would absolutely recommend her!
Mady does a great job caring for Sydney, with lots of walks and a fenced in back yard she has lots of opportunity for staying active.
Mady is an exceptional fur baby boarder and my fur baby, Max absolutely loves her, Bandit and the family! She provided lots of daily updates with pictures, showing regular walks and playtime in the yard. Because of Mady, I was able to enjoy my first vacation in over 20 years without worrying about Max and I truly appreciate her. I can't thank Mady enough for providing exceptional care for Max while I was out of the country. My next vacation will definitely include a booking with Mady!❤️
Mady is amazing! She is so attentive and sends regular updates and photos! She’s our go-to sitter!
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.

Schedule
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.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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.
Pets
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.

- 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.
