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.
“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.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 11. I love staying active, so I take my own pup on daily walks and I’d love the chance to take care of yours, too! :) I am currently a part time high school senior that will be graduating in 2 weeks so I’ll have a lot of time in my hands! I can pick up dogs as well if needed I have a fenced home and 2 dogs well that are very calm and shy when meeting new people, but they eventually warm up. I have dog cages as well
