Maddy's pet care
Who is Maddy?
Guelph-based pet carer and animal lover

I've always loved animals...

And the outdoors.

I worked as a certified outdoor guide.

And now I dedicate my time to fur friends.

Owners say...
"Bow-WOW! Madeleine is a compassionate, trustworthy, one-of-a-kind “pet whisperer.” We’ve trusted her for five years to care for Fergus, our lovable but hard-to-handle Sheltie, both as a dog walker and a pet/housesitter during our extended trips in Canada and abroad. Fergus absolutely adores her.
Madeleine consistently provides loving, attentive care for Fergus and keeps us updated with fun photos and videos from their walks. She even expertly handled a veterinary emergency that arose once while we were away, giving us complete peace of mind. Madeleine goes above and beyond — collecting mail, watering plants, and leaving our home immaculate. Fergus is always sad to see her leave. We confidently recommend Madeleine to care for all your furry family members!"

“Excellent service! Our mixed-terrier-rescue, Tasker, LOVES Maddy. We have hired Maddy for a number of years now. She helps us with both routine dog-walking, and for combined house-sitting/dog-care, while we are out of town.
We know Tasker would not do well in a boarding kennel. So with Maddy staying overnight, he is much more relaxed, fed and walked on his usual schedule. Also, our home insurance company likes that a responsible person is living in the house, rather than it being left empty, while we are away.
We highly recommend Maddy (please just not when we want to book her 🙃) ”
— Bruce and Janet
“We have been clients of Maddy's for several years and are very lucky to have her caring for our golden retriever, lab, and cat.
Maddy is professional, patient and loving with our crew. She goes out of her way to know just what everyone needs-feeding routines, meds, walks and always welcomes any special requests in order to keep them happy.
Whether it's for a daily check in or an overnight stay, we are completely confident when leaving our pets in Maddy's wonderful care.”
— Donna
“Madeleine has walked our boy Walter, a three-year-old Golden, intermittently over the past two years. She is both reliable and responsible and dog owners always appreciate knowing their pet is being well cared for. I would recommend Madeleine if you are looking for a dependable dog walking service!”
— Rosemary
“We have two cats and a small dog and Maddy has been my default house and pet sitter for over six months. We are very pleased with her services. She is reliable, responsible, and professional, and most importantly, my pets love her!”

“Maddy is our go-to person for kitty care… she’s wonderfully reliable, sends proactive updates on how the cats are doing, and when we come home, it’s clear our four-legged friends are feeling relaxed and well taken care of. We can go on holidays without an ounce of guilt or worry! Highly recommend Maddy's Pet Care!”
— Jen
“I am single and retired, and thanks to Maddy's excellent care of my two cats, I have been able to travel worry-free, confident that they are both well looked after. Maddy is reliable, highly personable, respectful, and adaptable. At our first meet and greet, my cats took to her right away. She is very knowledgeable in cat behaviour and carefully follows my personal, specific cat care routines. While I am away, she communicates regular updates as well as any concerns. I have hired Maddy for many years and will continue to do so. I highly recommend her!”
— Ligita
“Maddy has been caring for our three dogs for many years, and we couldn’t imagine trusting anyone more. She is incredibly reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely loves our dogs—and they absolutely adore her in return. Whether she’s taking them on their daily walks or staying in our home while we’re away on vacation, we always know they’re in the best hands. Her presence gives us complete peace of mind.”
— Jacek
“We've used Maddy's dog walking and sitting services for about three years now. She is reliable, trustworthy, and kind, and my dogs are happy and comfortable with her, which is the most important thing. We've used her services when we were going away for day trips, or recovering from injuries. She would pop in to take my three dogs for walks, give them some love, and replenish their food and water dishes. We've also used her for weekends and even week-long stretches as we went on vacation. During those times, she lives in our house with the dogs and cat giving them love and attention in their own surroundings so their lives are disrupted as little as possible. I 100% trust her with the care of my pets and house. She's respectful of my property, keeps in constant contact, including sending pictures, and she pays attention to the details and my little requests. She competently has administered medication for my pets She even took care of my fish a few times.”
— Jennifer and Brittany
“Maddy has been caring for my cats anytime I go away for several years now. I can always enjoy my vacations without worrying because I know that they're receiving the best possible care. Maddy has proven many times that she can be trusted to deal with complex situations such as my elderly cat with health issues, as well as cats with difficult behavioural issues. She sends regular updates and photos and I can tell that my cats are comfortable and relaxed around her. Her prices are very reasonable and she will always be my first choice for pet care whenever I go away.”
— Bridget
“Maddy has been great watching my dog regularly for nearly two years. She’s reliable, responsive, and I have peace of mind that my dog is getting the care, exercise, and attention he deserves on days when I’m out of the house. I’ve been so grateful to have Maddy care for my pup and she’s always been very respectful in my space.”
— Katie
“We love our four-legged family members dearly, and when we have to be away, it gives us tremendous peace of mind knowing that Maddy is caring for them. Maddy is the one person we trust completely with our beloved pets. She consistently goes above and beyond, offering flexible, specialized care plans — including live-in supervision and attentive care for high-needs senior pets. Maddy’s customizable service is worth every penny. Highly recommended!”
