About: I've been surrounded by the loving presence of dogs and cats my entire life. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I'm comfortable with all stages of pet life, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I work from 6pm to 2 am so my days and afternoons are very flexible and free, perfect if you need me to take care of your pet while you are working. I taker care of them, play with them, make sure they eat and drink water when they need to, and make sure they are having a good time, always.
“Maddie did a great job with our dog! She was willing to come meet him a couple nights before the scheduled visit and was great about communicating with us when we were gone. Thank you Maddie!!”
About: I am a former veterinary assistant who has 20 years of experience caring for animals of every kind: from large and small dogs, cats, and exotics. I am an expert in rodent care, specifically mice and rats, but also have lots of experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I have cared for young puppies and kittens as well as senior animals, and am proficient with administering oral and injectable medications, as well as doing glucose monitoring for diabetic animals. I work full time during the week, but I am typically free in the mornings from 8 am to 11 am. I work the evening shift at Methodist Health Fremont and am typically done by 8:30pm. Weekend work days are rare as our weekend coverage works on a rotating basis, I will inform clients if weekend work is expected during a booking. I will always change clothes before visiting client pets in order to do as much as possible to prevent communicable diseases due to the volume of animals I work with. I am also trained in dog and cat pet CPR.
“Madeline was great with my two cats over a long wedding weekend with me out of state. Madeline was willing to arrive in the night and depart late in the evening. My two girls did well with her. Consider Madeline for your cat care and overnight needs.”

McKenna H.
“McKenna is the only caregiver I can trust with my pets. Her experience working as a veterinary technician is a bonus on top of already providing great pet care! Can’t recommend her enough.”
Sara H.
“Sara is great with animals and is super attentive and caring towards them. My dog Gypsy is a super sensitive and easily offended lab but that didn't stop Sara from friending her when we became friends in 2017. She would calmly call to her earning her trust and when my dog let her guard down they became best friends. I trust Sara with my dogs needs when I have to be out of town for a few days. She is a perfect fit to have your animal in her care!”
