“Madison was absolutely wonderful with my dog during her drop-in visits. She was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure my pup was comfortable and well taken care of. I appreciated the updates and peace of mind while away. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

About: I’ve spent several years caring for cats and dogs, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddle sessions, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I have personally owned small dogs like westies and king charles cavaliers, to larger dogs like pitbulls and boxers. I have also owned many cats and can handle all levels of temperaments. With a fully open schedule, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care and accommodate a wide range of pet sitting needs, including last-minute bookings, extended stays, and daytime visits. I provide attentive, loving care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow their established routines closely, including feeding, walks, litter box care, playtime, and companionship. I treat your home with respect and your pets like my own, ensuring they feel secure and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’m currently in college to be a nurse. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, from goats, chickens, and ducks to dogs and cats. I’m excited to be able to meet new pets and spend time with them. My schedule is pretty open, as I only have classes on Tuesday and Thursday and every other day I’m free. I’m willing to take care of your pet on the weekends as well. I ensure that all the pets that I have taken care of have the proper food and water they need, as well as get a source of exercise whether it’s a walk or play time, and that they also get lots of cuddles.
About: I’ve house and dog sat for multiple people. I have also owned and taken care of my own pets since a young age. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, livestock, and small animals. I currently work at a vet clinic and am in school to become a vet tech. Pet care always comes first. When I’m not working, pets are my number one priority. We’ll play until tired, walk when the weather permits, and work on any training you see fit to be done. In my own home my pets get all the play time they need, all the attention they could ask for, and all the outdoor time they could desire. I monitor all play, indoor and out, and make sure they aren’t going too hard or getting too over heated. Your pets would get the same treatment. And god forbid anything we’re to happen to them I know what to do in an emergency situation.
About: For the last 8 years, I have taken care of many different dogs ranging from disabled elderly dogs to young puppies. I’m experienced with dog training and understand that each animal has different needs depending on their age, health and personality. I have always had an animal friendly environment and put a huge emphasis on taking the best care of any pet that that comes my way. This includes making sure each pet is safe, healthy, and happy as in the best possible way I can. Whether the animal is young and active and needs lots of attention or elderly and has health concerns that require medication. I am the go-to person for all animal needs 😊 Just let me know what works for you and we can discuss further. My schedule is very flexible and I would love to watch your pet, just reach out and we can figure out a time that works for you! I have a small, friendly yorkie that will befriend your pup! 😊 I totally understand that our dogs our like family, in fact they are family! Having a dog is like having a baby at times and they need lots of love and care as well. Any special diets/ medications that need to be taken are welcome here. 💕
