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.

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!”
