About: Years of Experience! 🐾 Hi there! My name is Madi, and I’ve spent the last 15+ years doing what I love most: caring for dogs. From growing up in a home filled with happy tails and muddy paws to years of trusted dogsitting and daily walks, dogs have always been a central part of my life. I currently care for two amazing pups of my own—spoiled, loved, and treated just like family—and I bring that same care, attention, and respect to every dog I encounter. Whether your furry friend needs a high-energy jog(within reason, I am not a runner!), a slow sniff-and-stroll, or just a little company while you’re away, I’m here to give them the exercise, stimulation, and affection they deserve. I offer dependable, flexible, and compassionate service you can count on. I’m not just a dog walker—I’m a dog person through and through. Let’s give your dog their new favorite part of the day. 🐶 I am a registered nurse and have decided to do this on my few days off each week, because it’s something I enjoy! Each weeks availability varies with my work schedule so I have opened my books to one time bookings for now. My pets are treated like royalty! Lol, really… I would strive to keep all pets safe, loved, and happy. They get a short life, and my hope is to offer a service that can bring fulfillment to the long days that their owners are at work.

About: What sets me apart from others on Rover, is I take this line of work seriously and I usually go above in beyond. If I am selected to sleep at the house you can expect me to actually sleep there. For every one of my client's I have always slept the night until the end. If a puppy is on site I do continue to train the basics, unless other skills are specified to be trained. I love to keep them active and happy! I spend all my free time with your fur baby! I love to give them time to play and run. I enjoy taking them for walks, or giving them a bath! For boarding, I do not have a fenced yard, but I have an electric fence along with an additional collar. If that is not acceptable to you then I will keep the dog on a regular leash during potty breaks. I have two fur babies of my own that do wonderful with new dogs, they love to play! I live in a suburban neighborhood with a perfect loop to take walks. I can also provide a large crate if needed, otherwise the pet will sleep with me. I do allow them on my bed :) For house sitting+dog, I would follow any instruction given to me! Otherwise I assume the dog is yard trained and won’t bolt across the street. If this is a concern of yours then I ask to please provide me with a leash, thank you! If you do not allow your pets on your furniture then I will continue that behavior for you.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child and have always grown up in a very pet friendly household with 2 cats and a dog. My cat I have now is 11 and I’ve had him since he was a kitten and my dog is now 5 who I have also had since she was a puppy. I’ve got experience in dog obedience as well. Friends and family have relied on me to feed, walk, and board their pets in the past. I already take my dog on walks and runs daily and I’m currently very flexible for the next few weeks while on summer vacation as a teacher. I will be able to keep your pet company and give lots of attention in the form of going on walks, throwing the ball, feeding, grooming if necessary, etc. I currently cannot board other pets as I have a cat of my own and don’t want to risk him being stressed or attacked by overly excited dogs!

About: With being in the Veterinary field, I hope my career path of being a Registered Veterinary Nurse brings you comfort when caring for your pets. I not only will treat yours like my own, but also will be able to recognize if your furry family member may need to visit the doctor. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16 and truly have such a passion to help animals in every aspect. I work 3.5 days a week and I’m super flexible! I am able to leave during my lunch hour as well to make sure your pets needs/routine is met. With my knowledge and experience I am able to handle your pet in a fear free way. My goal is not to be a stranger but to become friends with your furry loved ones.

Ainsley H.
“Ainsley and I worked together for a few years in a coffee shop and then we both decided we needed a change! We would always talk about our love for animals and just how amazing they really are! Anytime an animal would come through the drive through we would tell each other and run up to the window! There wasn’t a day that would go by without a conversation about all the beautiful fur babies in the world. Ainsley was the only person I could trust with my beautiful babies, so anytime my family and I would leave for vacation she would be the one to watch my babies. My babies love love love her! If I even say her name their ears pop straight up with excitement! All I can really say is Ainsley has a strong love for nature and animals, and that’s such a beautiful thing to me. I would forever trust her in my home and with my babies! She’s the best of the best and no one else is like her!”
