Hi I'm Madison! Growing up my mom and I often fostered and sat dogs so I'm very familiar with caring for one. We have a shih tzu at home, but while I'm in DC for school I'd love to help someone out with their pup! I'm an expert at tug-of-war, belly rubs, and fetch. Hopefully you allow me to care for your fur baby!
