About Madelene R.

Communication

9 repeat pet parents
96% response rate
Usually responds in under an hour
90% bookings with photo updates

Dog skills

20 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced garden and we live just a few minutes away from a lovely park. We like to be outside and spend our weekends in a park or forest somewhere. We live in a semi detached house and we like to keep our neighbours happy so if your doggie is vocal we will not be able to look after him/her unfortunately.

Home

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has no pets
Children 0-5 years old
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 0-2 hours

Information Madelene R. would like to know about your pet

All dogs have different personalities so just let us know what your dog likes and what to do or not do to keep him/her happy :) The pup must be fine with young children as we have two boys (4&5) and to be left in the house for 4-5 hours (probably won’t happen though as my partner work mainly from home)

A typical day

We love long walks, playing with balls and sticks. It would be nice to have four paws join me on my runs. We also love to have a snuggle on the sofa.

Madelene, John and their lovely boys are A star sitters. Madelene sent lots of photos during my pups stay and kept me updated throughout. Thank you so much for looking after my little girl and making her feel so comfy 💖

I would like to take this opportunity to Thank you and your family for looking after Varys the last 5 days . I am such an anxious person when it comes to leaving him, so this being his first time I was slightly apprehensive. However you guys really put my mind at ease. I was kept updated with lots of videos and photos and I can see Varys had a great time with you guys. Definitely be coming to you again and highly recommend. Thanks again

Madelene and her family took wonderful care of Rico. We are so happy with the care he received. It gave us real peace of mind during our trip knowing that Rico was in such kind and caring hands and having a great time with them. Thank you to Madelene, John and their two sons for welcoming Rico into your home and treating him like part of the family. We are very grateful and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.
