Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I ensure a safe, pet-friendly environment by pet-proofing all areas and providing secure spaces for rest and play. I follow strict protocols for feeding, medication, and exercise to maintain each pet’s health. When caring for pets at clients’ homes, I adhere to their specific routines and safety measures, ensuring secure leash handling and constant supervision during activities relevant to a dogs age and personality and maintain a stress-free atmosphere to ensure every pet feels secure, happy, and well-cared for, whether at my home or theirs.

Madalina was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my 2 dogs and was SO communicative. She sent the best photos and videos I felt so at ease knowing she was with them. Also left the house in perfect condition. Can’t wait to book her again!

Madalina was amazing. One of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had. She was so loving and present with my animals. She also took great care of my home like I would. She sent amazing photos of the pets and sweet notes daily. I can’t recommend her enough.

Mada was absolutely wonderful! As soon as she came over for a meet and greet we could tell she was very attentive and asked thoughtful questions. She seemed to genuinely enjoy sitting for our dog, sent adorable photos, and left the house neat as a pin. We hope to be able to book her every time we need in the future!

Madalina has watched our pups and home multiple times. She always does a great job and provides lots of updates! This time, she was even able to extend her visit last minute because we had some travel issues. Thankful for her!

Madalina was absolutely amazing! She treated Pumbaa like she was her own pet and kept him so engaged and entertained while watching him! My dog recently came back from a 3 week board and train and while I was gone, I asked her to not only watch him, but help reinforcing the training he learned! She would send photos and videos of them practicing, has taken him to several parks and hikes and long walks, and gave him all the loving I could have only hoped for! Madalina is incredibly respectful , responds in a timely manner, and goes above and beyond. She would always facilitate check ins/ I never had to ask how things were going, had no problems asking for clarity on my expectations, and left my place in a better spot than when she got there! While staying at my place, she also helped tidy up the place after her stay, which I would never have asked a sitter to do! Madalina, you’re one of a kind! Thank you!

Schedule

As a freelancer with a flexible schedule, I can tailor my day to meet your pets’ needs. My active lifestyle means your pets get plenty of exercise, whether through walks, hikes, or runs. I provide attentive care, from feeding and playtime to overnight stays for those needing extra comfort. My approach ensures your pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for.

Please share any quirks, preferences, or special needs your pets have so I can make sure they feel right at home! If your pet takes any medication, let me know the details—dosage, timing, and any special instructions—so I can keep their health a priority. Also, if they have specific routines—like their go-to nap spot or favorite walk route—let me know, so I can keep things as close to normal as possible for them. The more I know, the better I can ensure they have the best time while you're away!
