"Madx was great with my pooch. He was attentive and friendly and my dog warmed to him quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Thanks Madx!"
- Darcy R., Rover
"Madx was great with our pets! They both warmed up to him quickly, which is always so nice to see. Madx is an excellent communicator- sending us updates and photos daily, and also kept our home nice and tidy. We definitely felt comfortable leaving our pets and home in his care, and would do so again!"
- Melissa T., Rover

Boarding
My home is a cozy place for your pup to relax while you’re away on vacation. You’ll also receive lots of pic and video updates of your dog having a great time at Uncle Madx’s house!Some things to note are that I have a cat and only a partially fenced yard. Like house sittings, my goal with a boarding stay is to make sure your pup is able to stick to their usual routine as much as possible.

Frequently asked questions
Q. I’ve never had a dog sitter before. How do I schedule a walk?
A. Send me a message via text, email or Rover to set up a meet and greet! Please include time(s)/date(s) of the stay and any relevant info about your pup. From there, we’ll schedule a meet and greet. If at the meet it seems like a good fit, then we’ll complete the booking and reserve the dates.Q. What payments do you accept?
A. I accept payments via Venmo, Rover, PayPal, Zelle, Apple Pay and Square Cash and Cash.Q. What can I expect during a stay?
A. My goal during a boarding or sitting is to maintain your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Vacation time is a happy time, but can sometimes be a little stressful for the pups we leave behind! When their routine is kept and they have trusted company, it helps reduce that stress. Meanwhile, to help reduce your stress, I like to send lots of regular picture and video updates so you know that your dog is being well taken care of. Since I’m a full time pet sitter, I do leave for walks and occasional errands, but I’ll never be away for longer than a couple of hours. For pups with higher level care needs, my husband will also tag team in to help out.Q. Will you send updates?
A. Of course! I know how nervous I can get when leaving my pets behind with a sitter, so I like to help pet parents have some peace of mind on their trips. I send tons of updates with pictures and videos and will notify if I notice anything off physically or behaviorally, no matter how small.Q. My dog is needs a little extra attention. How much time will you be away during the sitting?
A. I have regular walks, drop ins and errands I have scheduled throughout the week, so I will have hour to two hour windows that I’m gone. Otherwise, I’ll be with your dog full time. Please let me know if this might be a concern for you, and I may be able to make special arrangements.
