Critter Sitters: Isaiah & Madeline

Hello! Madeline is a former veterinary technician, Isaiah is a Master Naturalist, and together, we are an experienced pet care team providing professional in-home care throughout DFW. We specialize in medication administration, senior pets, diabetic cats, kittens, puppies, and anxious animals. Whether your pets need overnight companionship, drop-in visits, walks, or transportation, our goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Animals have always been at the center of my life. I have over a year and a half of professional experience working as a veterinary technician, along with previous experience in a natural and holistic pet food store. These experiences gave me extensive knowledge in animal health, nutrition, behavior, and daily care. I’ve cared for dogs of every size and age, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, rodents, and other small animals. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specialized diets, caring for senior pets, puppies and kittens, and providing attentive care for pets with medical conditions or disabilities. Isaiah shares my passion for animals and the outdoors. As a Texas Master Naturalist, he has extensive knowledge of local ecosystems, wildlife, and outdoor safety. Whether we’re taking your dog on neighborhood walks or spending time outside playing, you can trust that your pet is with someone who understands animal behavior and how to keep them safe while enjoying nature. Together, we share our home with our Corgi, Doobie, and our two cats. As pet owners ourselves, we understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. We treat every pet as if they were one of our own. Why Choose Us? 🐾 Two dedicated caregivers Having both of us available means your pets receive more attention, flexibility, and companionship. If one of us has an obligation, the other is often available to ensure your pet’s routine stays consistent. 🩺 Veterinary experience My background as a veterinary technician allows me to confidently care for pets with medications, specialized diets, senior needs, post-procedure recovery, and other medical considerations. 🌿 Outdoor expertise Isaiah’s experience as a Texas Master Naturalist means your pets are in capable hands during walks, hikes, and outdoor play. He understands local plants, wildlife, weather conditions, and how to safely enjoy the outdoors with dogs. 📸 Frequent updates We know it’s hard to leave your pets behind. We’ll send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for. 🏡 Respect for your home We’ll care for your home with the same respect we give our own. We’re happy to water plants, bring in mail or packages, and help keep everything running smoothly while you’re away. Our Services 🏡 House Sitting Your pets stay comfortable in their own home while we care for them. We’ll provide our daily schedule so you’ll always know when we’re with your pets and when we may briefly step away. 🐾 Drop-In Visits Thirty-minute visits include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, medications if needed, enrichment, playtime, and plenty of affection. 🚶 Dog Walks Customized walks based on your dog’s age, energy level, and routine. 🚗 Pet Transportation Need someone to transport your pet to a grooming appointment, boarding facility, daycare, or veterinary visit? We’re happy to help. Before Your Booking Meet-and-greets are required before all new bookings. We’ll take time to learn your pet’s routine, medications, personality, favorite activities, and anything else that helps us provide the best possible care. Whether you’re gone for a weekend or an extended vacation, our goal is simple: to provide the same level of love, patience, and attention we’d want for our own pets. We look forward to becoming someone you and your pets can rely on for years to come.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I understand that trusting someone with both your pets and your home is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to provide care that keeps your pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines in the place where they feel safest—their own home. Before every booking, I’ll take time to learn about your pet’s schedule, feeding routine, medications, exercise needs, favorite activities, and any behavioral quirks or medical concerns. I’ll follow your instructions closely so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you’re away. As a former veterinary technician, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health, administering medications, and responding calmly if concerns arise. Isaiah and I also believe communication is key, so we’ll provide regular updates and photos throughout your trip to give you peace of mind. We’ll treat your home with the same care and respect we would our own—keeping it clean, secure, and leaving it just as we found it. Our priority is for you to return home to happy pets and the confidence that they received attentive, compassionate care every step of the way.

Madeleine was dependable and resourceful. I left a feral cat in her care and he was more challenging than I expected. Bernie had not been socialized and ran away whenever Madeleine came. But she stayed,talked to him and tried to coach him over to her. She also made sure that he had food and water to drink. I know that her care insured Bernie being here when I came home. I appreciate it.

Madeline was great with our 3 semi-high energy dogs! She scheduled an initial Meet & Greet which we greatly appreciated to get the dogs familiar with her. She was prompt and professional. Will hire her again.

Madeline & Isaiah are so great! They took care of our pups just like their own and were very diligent with their feeding & overall care. Super communicative and trustworthy. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for in home dog sitting or even drop ins! They routinely do both visit types for us and we truly can’t give them enough praises for how well they take care of our fur babies.

Schedule

As a full-time graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to the pets in our care. Much of my coursework can be completed remotely, giving me the ability to plan my days around your pet’s routine. Isaiah works part-time, which means between the two of us, we’re able to provide a high level of companionship and attention throughout the day. Having two caregivers also gives us added flexibility if one of us has class or a work shift, helping keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. For house sitting, we’ll always be upfront about our schedules before your booking so you know what to expect. Any time away from your home is typically limited to classes, work, errands, or other short commitments, and we’ll work with you to ensure your pet’s needs are met. We understand that every pet is different. Whether they need frequent potty breaks, medications at specific times, lots of playtime, or simply enjoy having someone nearby, we’ll tailor our care to fit their routine and provide them with plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
