About

Hello — I’m Maddie

I’m the face behind Maddie’s Walk & Stay, and quite simply, I absolutely love animals. I started my business because I wanted to offer pet owners a service they could genuinely trust — where their pets are cared for with the same love, attention and patience I’d give my own.

Why I do it this way

Whether it’s a walk, a quick drop-in, pet sitting or holiday care, I make sure every pet gets care that suits them. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person looking after your furry family member, which is why building a relationship with both you and your pet is a huge part of what I do.

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.

Expect plenty of cuddles, adventures, photo updates and probably a few treats along the way!

Your pets aren’t just a booking — they become part of the Maddie’s Walk & Stay family.
