Care by Joy and Maddy
Pet Care
Welcome!
Hello! I'm Madisson (Maddy), and I've had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember. I believe your pets are part of the family, and I treat them as such! With my reliable and personal pet sitting services, you can travel or work with peace of mind, knowing your furry friends are well taken care of.
About Me
I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life! When I was born, my family had the sweetest Rottweiler, and after her, we had three long-haired Chihuahuas for 16 wonderful years. Currently, we have two mixed-breed dogs who are the best of friends, and I cherish the time I spend with them. My passion for animals runs deep, and I believe they truly deserve the best. I love being able to get to know all the different pets of so many families!

My Mission/Values
I aim to provide compassionate, dependable pet care while maintaining open communication with owners, so they can be worry-free while away!

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
- Deb
Madisson is a gem! She has done day sitting and multi-overnight stays with our two anxious senior dogs. She's highly reliable, responsible, and trustworthy. We love her, but most importantly, my dogs love her! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to care for your pups in your home.
- Doug
If you're looking for someone who will love your dogs as much as you do, look no further than Madisson. She's professional, loving, and always goes the extra mile to keep my dogs happy and safe. I wouldn't want anyone else caring for them!
- Erin
I can't recommend Madisson enough! She treats my dogs as if they were her own, showering them with love and affection every visit. I always feel at ease knowing they're safe and happy in her care, and her thoughtful updates and photos are the highlight of my day!
- Steve & Dee
We were in need of a dog sitter and Madisson was recommended by a friend. We asked her to come to our home to meet the dogs prior to our trip, to which she agreed without hesitation. The dogs warmed up to her right away at which point we felt very comfortable having her stay at our house for the week we would be gone. When we travel, our dog Major usually doesn't like to eat. After several days of not eating and her trying other ideas, Madisson reached out to us with a bit of concern. We gave her another suggestion and she was willing to try it. She was successful; he finally ate for her and continued to eat the remainder of the week. We will definitely use her again in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone that needs a person to love and care for your pets while you are away from home.
- Lisa & George
Madisson is very reliable, trustworthy, caring, compassionate, and a good communicator. She will care for your furry family member as her own. My dog Boden was always well cared for and loved. We are fully confident of the care Madisson provides Bo when we go away. We highly recommend her. She's a gem!
- Marian
Madisson has cared for my dogs (Taco, Pickles, and Gizmo) many times over the years. They love her, and I am very confident in her ability to care for them at the highest level. I highly recommend her.
