About: Certified veterinary assistant at Eastern New Mexico university Roswell, 3 1/2 years of kennel tech experiences at creekside animal hospital, 2 year experience as overnight pet guardian at Pete and macs pet resort in Arlington texas, 4.5 years as camp counselor at camp bow wow Fort Worth east, a lot of pet sitting experience, volunteered with purrfect cats, volunteered with paws for reflection; I’m loyal, on time, hard worker, do my best at every task given to me, enjoys being with the cats and dogs. I am also very trustworthy and dependable and accountable. I am an animal lover and I want to help the animals (cats and dogs) any way I can. And I don’t like to see them in any kind of pain/ abuse and it hurts my heart to see the pain. I’m currently available to pet sit mornings, afternoons and evenings Monday through Friday. Weekends I have even more flexibility and I'm happy to work with your schedule. It works best for me if I go to the clients home because I have a sweet elderly cat named "Waldobiscuit" that lives with me, and he likes his peace and quiet!
About: Animals have always brought so much joy to my life. We currently have three amazing rescue dogs. Whenever I talk about adding another to the mix, my husband jokes that we can—as long as we get rid of one first! So, I figured I’d hack the system a bit by offering to help out with your pets instead. Now that my kids are all of driving age, I’ve found myself with a lot more free time. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of experience helping family and friends with their pets, and I’d love the chance to help you out too. Whether it’s for a weekend away or just a busy day, I’m here to make any time apart from your pet as easy and stress-free as possible. My schedule currently has the flexibility to extend care to your pets as needed. Whether it’s stopping by for a midday walk, keeping your pet company while you’re away, or helping maintain a routine they’re used to, I can easily fit it into the rhythm of my day. I will follow your specific institution when caring for your pet. I know how much our animals mean to us, and I will care for, love and spoil every pet I care for like they’re part of the family—because that’s exactly how I’d want someone to treat mine.
About: No dog too big or small to handle. Being around animals for me is therapeutic so I am getting more in return! Skilled with cats and dogs since a young age and hope to meet your bundle of joy soon! Very flexible as I work from home and currently pet sitting for a few friends full-time. Available most all days of the week and holidays. I ensure the well-being of pets by following established routines for feeding, exercise, and play. I maintain a clean and safe environment, administer medications as needed, and provide ample affection. Communication with pet owners is key to understanding specific needs and addressing any concerns promptly.

Madalyn S.
“Madalyn has watched and stayed the night with my sweet lab Axel over a dozen times in the last 5 years whenever our family has went on vacation or is out of town. She is always the first person I ask when I know I will need a dog sitter. She is always incredibly reliable, takes great care of Axel, takes him on walks or plays outside with him just as much as we would, and gives him all the lovins. We consider her “Aunt Madi” because Axel loves when she comes to stay. Madalyn always does a great job of communicating with us on what days she is available or makes sure she has a flexible schedule. She always sends us picture and video updates on Axel as well. There is no one else I trust with my dog more than Madalyn. The truest of dog lovers and she has the best personality to boot. Anyone would be lucky to have Madalyn watch or play with their beloved pup!”
