Former Vet Tech and animal lover

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Madeleine and I am 31 years old. I've lived in Lawrence for about 3 years. I moved here from San Francisco in 2020. I'd love to provide care for your furry friends whether your pets just need someone to drop in and visit with them, or if your pups need walks! I worked for four years at a five doctor, high volume vet practice as a veterinary technician, assistant, and receptionist. I am able to take care of all dogs and cats - no matter the size. I have a lot of experience giving subcutaneous fluids, administering medications and caring for all animals in general. I love spending as much quality time as possible with the pups and kitties I'm caring for! I will send you text or email updates throughout the day, as well as photos and videos of them enjoying their visits or walks with me. Every walk includes a GPS map of where we adventured to! For the summer time, if the temperatures get to be too hot, I will usually ask if it is ok if we change a walk to a drop in visit instead, due to safety risks for animals paws being on hot cement. However, I will ensure that they get plenty of mental exercise inside with either training exercises, or if you have a yard, I will happily play with them out there! I am loyal, experienced and passionate. I will be there for your pets--and you-- no matter what! I'm so excited to become your go-to pet sitter!

If you need a sitter, Mady's the best. I trusted her completely and wish she was still in California to look after my doggos!

Mady is INCREDIBLE. We had to rush back home for a funeral with short notice, and she made everything easier for us while we were away. We never had to worry. We have 3 very, shall we say *particular* pets, 2 dogs and 1 cat. The cat needs oral medication, one of the dogs has severe people anxiety, the other is prone to accidents, and it’s always been such a mess getting a sitter. Mady won them ALL over! I can’t stress enough that this has never happened, and she did it in a matter of days. She worked as a vet tech so she knew how to handle their physical and emotional health. Without any prompting, she sent us daily updates so we could focus on our family. When we came home, the pets were doing great, our house was cleaner than we left it (wow!), and she is just a fantastic person. Thank you so much, Mady!

Mady provided four evening drop-in visits after I was discharged from the hospital. She arrived as agreed. Her interactions with our cat and kitten were gentle, loving, focused, and compassionate. Maddy is knowledgeable about cats, their behaviors, and how to provide appropriate care. I appreciated the extensive, descriptive reports of each visit and the numerous photos. Our kitten, who is not socialized to humans, responded warmly to Mady. We will reach out to Maddy for a drop in as well as housesitting assignments in the future. She is confirmed for a February 2020 housesitting stint.

Safety, trust & environment

Due to my own pets, I am not able to host other pets at my home. My services include me coming to your home and caring for your pet there, which is usually best because pets tend to feel more comfortable in their home environment! :)

Information Madeleine K. would like to know about your pet

I want to know as much as possible about your dog! Are they playful? What makes them feel at home? What is their favorite form of exercise both mental and physical? What can I do to make you as comfortable as possible? Do they have any health or behavioral issues?

A typical day

For drop in visits, I will bring a bag of pre-approved treats for pups and work with them on basic training exercises, give them lots of love, play with them in the yard and take them out to potty (if applicable), feed them/refill their water (if needed), and make sure they are happy! For walks, I will happily walk them safely around your neighborhood and will send a full report card at the end of the walk with pictures of them and a GPS map to show where exactly we went!
