About

Hello — I’m Maddie

I've been around animals my whole life and working with them professionally for years. Maddie's Walk & Stay is deliberately small: one person, a limited diary, and enough time to do the job properly.

Why I do it this way

I’ve seen how quickly pet care becomes a conveyor belt: bigger groups, tighter slots, a different face each week. Animals notice that. So do owners.

I keep numbers low on purpose. It means I learn that your dog hates the bin lorry, that your cat only eats if the bowl is moved away from the door, and that the arthritic old boy needs an extra five minutes to get down the step. That knowledge is the actual service.

It also means I can be honest about capacity. If I can’t give your pet the care I’d want for my own, I’ll tell you rather than squeeze you in.
