I'm Madeline — a college student, lifelong dog lover, and proud dog mom to Azul. While I’m new to Rover, I bring years of trusted experience walking and sitting dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages—from playful 8-week-old puppies to wise 13-year-old seniors. Friends and family have relied on me time and time again, and one even called me a dog whisperer after watching me connect with their strong-willed Rottweiler-Pitbull mix! I’ve studied basic training techniques through a puppy obedience course, guidance from a professional trainer, and good ol' YouTube. These tools help me better understand each dog’s energy and needs—whether they’re high-energy adventurers or mellow cuddlebugs. My goal is always to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to connect with you and your pup! I'm currently a college student, and while on summer break, I have a very open and flexible schedule—available on both weekdays and weekends! Whether you need regular daily walks, last-minute check-ins, or extended sitting while you're out of town, I’m here to help. My open availability means I can easily accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care and attention.I've had the pleasure of dog sitting and walking for close friends and family, always making sure to follow any specific instructions they provide.Since summer days can get especially hot, I’m always prepared—I carry a bag with essentials like water, a bowl, treats, poop bags, and a frisbee. If the pavement is too hot (I always check with the back of my hand), my dog wears protective boots to prevent burns. On those extra hot days when it’s safer to stay indoors, I make sure dogs still get their energy out with games, enrichment toys, and fun training tricks. I love keeping things playful while prioritizing safety and well-being. About My Services: Drop-In Visits: $20 per visit.
