Hi! My name is Maddie and I am from Florida, USA! I am currently studying for my undergraduate at Trinity here in Dublin. I have a 17-year-old cockapoo back in Florida named Bandit!! I have had him since he was a puppy and miss him dearly. I used to go on long walks with him daily and have been missing them and being around animals in general so I thought I would give this a try. I have looked after pets (dogs and cats) for my neighbors and local community for years in addition to working with specific families and their pets. The main family I worked for in Florida contacted me originally to babysit their children but once they got a purebred pitbull puppy and their children were old enough for school I became a full-time dog sitter. While I do not currently have a cat I do have experience with them. Over the summer I house-sat for a family going on a ten-day vacation. They asked me to not only take care of the house but their elderly Visla and three rescue cats (one of whom is disabled). The special needs cat was "slow" as they described him and needed to be directed toward his food and litterbox. Another one of the cats was severely allergic to the other cats' food and had to be removed during feeding time, in addition to having a different kibble. My motivation for being a pet sitter, at least here in Ireland, is just to be around animals because they help me with homesickness. Since I live in student accommodation I cannot allow pets into my home, but I am open to house sitting and have experience in that as well.

Maddie was amazing with my dog Stormy. Communication was great during the night and I felt very comfortable having her in the house. Would highly recommend.
Maddie is a really good dog sitter and our dog Dharla loved her since the first second she met her. The communication was great and she sent us updates while we were away. We will definitely call her again, highly recommended to anyone!
