About: I have owned two dogs and a cat in my 25 years of life and currently have two dog nephews. I have also owned two ferrets. I’ve dog sat many fur babies! I enjoy the responsibility of caring for my furry friends. There’s nothing I’m not up for. I am a full time grad student. I have free time in the evening and various days throughout the week. I am busy, but also available and ready to help where and when I’m needed. I am meticulous, and very passionate when it comes to animals. I love giving back to my friends who add so much happiness to my life. It’s the “leash” I can do.
About: I have hands-on experience from working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’ve also provided regular dog walking, in-home sitting, and medication support for friends and family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior dog with special needs, I’m confident, patient, and ready to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! As a pre-med student at D’Youville University, I am available only on weekends Friday to Sunday. During these days, I am flexible with my hours and can accommodate varying schedules. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home—even when you’re not. Whether it’s feeding, meds, walks, or just some good company, I’m there to give them the care and attention they’re used to. I’ll keep you updated along the way, so you always know how they’re doing. My goal? Happy tails, comfy naps, and peace of mind for you.
About: I have had a number of small pets over the years, including, the two rescue cats I currently share with my partner. I have also had small dogs and taken care of family member’s large and other types of dogs. I love all animals and can’t wait to meet yours! I work virtually and make my own schedule so I can make pet care fit all throughout the day depending on their needs! I can be very flexible. I can offer pets any care they need- snuggles, walks, play or space if that’s what they prefer. Of course, I will be attentive to food, water, and potty time/litter boxes.
About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I work at my other job during the afternoon but I still am available to take care of your pups from 11am - 2:30 pm. I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.

We are so grateful for Madeleine! This is our first time using a sitter for our dog. She is patient, flexible and communicative. I appreciate her knowledge around dog body language and was grateful for all of the questions she asked to get to know Beau beforehand. I would highly recommend her and look forward to having her assist in the future!
