Pet care experience

Loving dog mama, experienced sitter

Hello! My name is Madeleine (she/her). I have lived on site at animal sanctuaries, am a dog mom myself, and will treat your babies like family. Drawing on my experience as an elementary school teacher and mental health educator, I provide a gentle, supportive, communication-based environment. I use exclusively positive reinforcement and regularly work with certified R+ trainers to stay up-to-date on the latest research. Please feel free to ask any questions. I've been police checked and am happy to provide whatever further background info you'd like. Making the decision to trust your kids with another person is a huge thing, so I want to make sure you can be absolutely comfortable. I look forward to meeting your family!

Madeleine is a fantastic communicator. She is very responsible and made sure to keep us updated with many photos. The pups were well cared for and enjoyed their staycation with Madeleine.

Madeleine was wonderful! She came over Christmas Day to check on our kitty and sent lots of photos and was incredibly communicative. Would absolutely work with her again, and plan to!

Please let me know any medical needs that your dog has including allergies, sensitivities, anxiety or any mental health concerns, and/or injuries. I’d also like to have on hand the dog’s veterinarian and the number of a trusted neighbour or local friend. Of course your dog’s favourite activities, treats, and known words will be essential, and anything else you’d like me to know. Please let me know anything you’d like to know about me, too! There is no such thing as too many questions when you’re getting ready to leave your kiddo with someone new.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
