Ratings and reviews
Madeleine was great with Oliver and send great pictures.
Madeleine did a great job taking care of Haggis! She was friendly, reliable, and quick to respond to messages. I really appreciated her communication and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Thank you, Madeleine!
Madeleine was a wonderful dog sitter. She took great care of our dog, gave her a ton of enrichment, and updated us with photos every day. Winnie came back to us happy, tired, and safe. We would be happy to let her watch our dog again!
Madeline is an absolutely amazing sitter! She took time to meet Louie before hand and made sure she understood all his needs. Louie can be super nervous, and Madeline made sure to take extra kind care with him once he arrived. Her communication was exceptional and very timely both before and during the boarding. Madeline sent regular updates with photos and made Louie's time super special! I couldn't recommend her more. If you're in the DMV area, hire Madeline for all your pet care needs!
Madeleine was an awesome drop-in pet sitter for my parrot! She tried very hard to befriend my scared parrot, and left her nuts as treats. Communication was awesome, with Madeleine sending daily pictures and special collages she had created. I’ll definitely use her again.
Madeleine is an incredible dog sitter, and I’d recommend her services to anyone with a fur baby. I received pictures and updates throughout Kaia’s entire stay with her, and Kaia clearly received all the love she normally gets at home, and then some! Normally Kaia takes a little while to warm up to new sitters but from the smile on her face we knew she was already comfortable and was getting so much love and attention. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl, we can’t wait to book again!

Schedule
Providing attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs companionship, walks, playtime, potty breaks, meals, or medication, I can easily incorporate their routine into my daily schedule and have in house help to accommodate to your pet as well, even when I’m personally not able to. I also know plenty pet-friendly locations, making it easy to keep active pets engaged while ensuring they receive plenty of attention.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Fully fenced backyard that provides a secure space for dogs to run, play, and explore. Inside offers a calm, clean, and cozy environment where pets can relax and feel at home. Cats also have plenty of comfortable indoor spaces, including a bright sunroom that’s perfect for lounging or birdwatching. I treat every pet like family and always follow each owner’s instructions and routines to ensure a safe and stress-free experience.
A typical day
We have a new small playground edition set up in the backyard which furry friends have surprisingly been utilizing very well. Along with a doggie splash pad, plenty of yard in the background for games of fetch, and running around. Your furry friend is guaranteed to be tired from playing at the end of every day if they so choose to be. For cats, we also have an catio for outdoor experience and it is enclosed for their safety and enrichment. As well as an indoor sunroom if they lean more on the indoor sunbathing type. Every pet receives personalized care based on their age, energy level, and personality. Activities may include neighborhood walks, trips to local parks, outdoor playtime in the fenced backyard, games of fetch, enrichment activities, cuddle time, and plenty of one-on-one attention. My goal is to keep pets happy, mentally stimulated, active, and comfortable while they’re in my care.

- For the health and safety everyone, please only reach out if your pup is current on their vaccinations, including Rabies, DHPP (distemper/parvovirus), and Bordetella. A Note About Barking & My Boarding Environment 🐾 Because my household has work-from-home schedules and frequent professional meetings, I’m only able to accommodate dogs who can settle comfortably in a home environment without excessive, persistent barking. I completely understand that dogs may bark occasionally to alert us to someone at the door, communicate a need, or respond to an unfamiliar situation. However, I’m unable to accept dogs with frequent, excessive, or persistent barking, including noise-triggered barking or barking related to separation anxiety that significantly disrupts the household. Please be honest about your dog’s barking habits, anxiety, and behavior when hearing unfamiliar voices or noises. This helps ensure I can provide a comfortable, safe, and appropriate environment for every dog in my care. Thank you for understanding that finding the right fit is important for both your pet and my household! 🐶 House-Trained Pets Only ⚠️ Please only reach out if your pet is fully house trained and reliably accident-free indoors. I understand there is a difference between an occasional accident because a pet is adjusting to a new environment and becoming familiar with a new home, versus a pet who is clearly not house trained. I’m completely understanding of the former. However, I’ve had multiple situations where owners assured me their dog was fully house trained and accident-free, only for repeated accidents to make it clear that was not the case — even with frequent potty breaks. Please be completely honest about your pet’s actual potty-training status and history. If your pet is still being potty trained, has frequent accidents, or marks indoors, please let me know upfront. Honest disclosure is extremely important so I can determine whether my home is the right fit for your pet. I’d also love to learn about your pet’s personality, if they get along with other pups/cats (we have multiple avenues of separating animals if need is there!), their daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, any behavioral quirks, allergies, and emergency contact information. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide personalized care and help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home
