About: I've had dogs by my side for as long as I can remember, and they’re truly a part of my family. The lifelong experience has taught me how to understand their needs and personalities. I’m passionate about giving them the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’m here to make sure your dogs feel happy and well-cared for while you’re away! I attend classes at A-State part-time and work part-time, I’ve never gone for more than four consecutive hours and spend at least 50% of my time at home. I dedicate a lot of time to giving my fur babies attention and I will do the same for yours. Day-to-day routines while boarding would depend on your animals habits and routines! My apartment complex has a fenced in doggy park with unlimited access and lots of space for walks! Inside, there's plenty of room for lounging, with cozy spots for napping and a variety of toys to keep them entertained. The environment is pet-friendly and designed to provide a calm, loving atmosphere where your pets can feel at home and enjoy their time with me! I also provide attentive care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, ensuring they feel relaxed and secure while you’re away.

“Madelyn did a great job with our pets while we were out of town! We have never used Rover before, but our handsome boy Buzz, isn’t neutered so most of our local boarding areas won’t accept him for overnight stays. Madelyn showed up twice a day every day per schedule and let him go potty and made sure he was fed! She also spent a little time with the cats— even though we didn’t ask ❤️ 10/10 will use again!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Gilkerson

About: As a kid, I helped care for our family cats and learned early what it means to be responsible for animals. In high school and college, I started overnight dog sitting for my aunt, which helped me build confidence and consistency in caring for pets in someone else’s home. As an adult, I’ve continued pet sitting for three main families, becoming someone they regularly rely on for trustworthy, attentive care. I’m calm, dependable, and comfortable with routine care, overnight stays, and making sure pets feel safe and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine since I work part time and have a flexible schedule. I already spend a lot of my day being active with my own dog—we typically go on 2–3 mile walks daily, which I really enjoy. I love being outdoors and keeping pets engaged and exercised, but I’m just as happy providing calm, relaxed care for pets who prefer a slower pace or more cuddles and downtime. My routine naturally revolves around making sure animals feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after. We have a large, secure, privacy-fenced yard where dogs can safely spend time outside, and our neighborhood is quiet and safe for walks. I always prioritize safety, supervision, and making sure pets are comfortable and stress-free in my care. I’m also very happy to care for pets in their own home—whether that’s letting dogs out for potty breaks, going on walks in their favorite areas, feeding meals and treats, or spending time giving cats attention and cuddles. I follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel secure and cared for in their familiar environment.

We leave our dog out during the day / night but she is kennel trained. We would not be able to accommodate to overnight services in our home due to being a rental property and our lease agreement.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have ensured the best care possible for them. I have also cared for family and friends pets for the last 7 years while they are away ensuring they are fed, cared for, and entertained! I’m currently part-time with availability after 3pm during the week but full availability on weekends. I am able to come in and care for pets after work and on weekends.

I follow all rules provided by the client while respecting the client’s home and privacy.

About: I have grown up with dogs of all shapes and sizes my whole life. As a pet owner myself, I always want to know that my pups are safe and happy anytime I am away. I will treat your pets like my own and ensure they will have all the love and attention they need. My schedule is very relaxed and flexible so I am always able to provide your pet with the care and attention they need and deserve! I will treat your pet like my own as it’s already a stressful time for them because their family is away. Pets can sometimes be a bit sensitive to change, therefore patience and extra attention will gladly be given!!
