“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 have always loved animals and taking care of them. I have a dog of my own and taking care of her has been a blast and I want to continue that for other people. Pet sitting and housesitting fits into my schedule every day because I take care of my dog every day so I get up early make sure the dogs or cats have food water and make sure they go out and not just for two or three minutes. Make sure they’re out long enough so that they can do their business And get some exercise Above anything I make sure the pets I care for are safe and healthy. That means they get walked and they get fed. No matter what I might have during the day your pets will come first.
