About Maddy

I am a dedicated dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. 

I have spent several months regularly walking a young, fairly anxious Dalmatian with a minor injury, adapting my approach to support her well-being. I encourage her to feel confident on walks, within the limits of her medical needs, while she was healing, providing her with love, support, and plenty of opportunities for treats through simple commands to build our bond and complement her owners' training. I have also provided dog sitting and walking for friends for up to a week at a time, ensuring they get to visit their favourite local walking spots!

When visiting my family in England to cat-sit our family cat, I also walk my elderly neighbour’s dachshund, which I really enjoy. I am equally happy caring for large or small dogs and cats, whether energetic and playful or slower-paced, and I adapt to each pet's individual needs and temperaments. 

I've had cats my whole life and have cat-sat for friends. I love getting to know each animal's unique personality and ensuring they get all the care they need, including administering medication when required, such as flea medication.

I work full-time in a remote role, meaning I am home-based during the day and able to be flexible. This makes day-visits possible, as well as regular walks before or after work and at weekends. 

I can also offer dog and cat-sitting for pets in their own homes. I always take care to follow their usual routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions provided. I would ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and provide photo, video and text updates to owners as much as they wanted and needed.
