About Us

Hi, I’m Madi, the whole team behind Happy Wags & Whiskers! Animals have been my greatest love for as long as I can remember, and that passion led me to over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets.

I started this business because I know exactly how hard it is to leave your pets behind, whether for the day or a week-long vacation. With two rescue pups of my own — a Chihuahua/Terrier mix with separation anxiety and a very high-energy Boxer — I remember how stressful it was trying to find someone I could truly rely on. So I became who I was looking for. Everything I do is built around one simple idea: your pets should almost feel like you never truly left. That’s why every visit is personalized to keep their routine as familiar as possible — the morning walks, the evening cuddles, the favorite spot on the couch. Choosing me isn’t just booking a sitter; it’s entrusting me with your family, and I treat them as such.

I choose to keep my client list small so I can truly get to know each pet’s personality, quirks, and little routines. While you’re away, I send regular updates and photos so you’re never left wondering. My love for animals extends beyond the job: I volunteer with the Humane Society and PAWS Atlanta, transport injured wildlife, and help at a local wildlife rescue and rehab center. Based in East Cobb and serving nearby areas like Marietta and Roswell, I’m licensed and insured as an LLC, so you get the peace of mind of a professional with the warmth of a trusted neighbor. I’d love to care for your furry, feathered, or scaly family next!

Testimonials

“Madi did a wonderful job taking care of my Great Dane and Lab while I was away! Managing two big dogs isn’t easy, but she handled everything perfectly and sent photo updates and notes from each visit, which gave me total peace of mind. I came home to two very happy, well-cared-for pups. I highly recommend Madi and will definitely book her again!”

“I’ve trusted Madi with the care of my two cats more times than I can count! One of my cats tend to be a little shy, but she’ll always come around whenever Madi is taking care of them! I never worry when they’re in her hands. The peace of mind that comes with Happy Wags & Whiskers is invaluable. I’ll gladly book her over and over and will refer her to everyone that I know needing pet care.”

“I was pleasantly surprised by Madi’s detail-oriented care and compassion. I have a bearded dragon named Yoshi and a Conure named Daisy. She sent me lots of picture updates and my biggest surprise was that she had them out of their enclosures living their best life! The passion Madi has for animals is undeniable. I will book her again for my out-of-town business trips. Thanks, Madi! The babies miss you already!”
