I offer care in the client’s home only as of right now, and can provide excursions for extra enrichment as needed. I can help with exercising active dogs in an effective manner this way.

Information Madeline D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs. I have a knack for working with overly intelligent/anxious and active dogs that tend to get bored but I like to come with a strategy to comfort any quirks your pet my have!

A typical day

I love playing games as well as running with extremely active dogs, but I can adjust my energy and have a lazy/slower day with a more laid back dog as well. For more high drive dogs I like making little puzzles for them to solve.

Your pet’s new bestie 🦮🐱🥰

Pet care experience

I can understand the sometimes uneasy feeling of leaving your four legged family member with someone else. That’s where I come in! I will be your pet’s new best friend and take care of them with the love and care that I would for my own - making sure runners don’t escape, that your daschund is picked up mindfully of their back, your maltipoo’s coat is maintained, your anxious dog is approached with gentleness and patience. No pet care is one-size-fits all and I will customize your pet’s experience to their individualized needs and desires. I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting both large and small dogs. I am experienced with handling horses (so I am not afraid of large animals.) Behavioral correction is the priority and I may be a small person, but if your dog pulls, I can lift 145+ lbs. I have experience from training puppies all the way up to senior dog care. I can care for senior dogs and accommodate to any mobility issues as well! I care for the safety and emotional wellbeing of all animals and provide compassionate care. I’m excited to meet my new friend! Let me know if there any questions or concerns I can address and we can work on a game plan for your little one.

Madeline was great with our dog. He has separation anxiety, and she did a great job just being present with him, keeping him calm, and making sure he felt comfortable.

She was great. Unfortunately, had some issues with my dog during my time away. She acted promptly and brought her to the vet within minutes of alerting me of the problem. Very responsible.

First time Rover user, first time pet owner. I was very apprehensive about leaving my kitten with a stranger, but with travel plans already booked, I joined Rover and searched for a sitter. Though Madeline did not have a ton of reviews, her rate was extremely competitive and the reviews she did have, were very positive. So I jumped into the deep end and am very glad I went with Madeline. She lived fairly close by so it was easy to do a meet/greet and drop off my keys with her. She was very personable and my kitten warmed up to her very quickly at the meet/greet. She followed through on all her commitments, showing up on time and providing exceptional care to my kitten. She provided daily updates along with pictures. When my travel plans changed, Madeline was right there to assist us with Stoner's care. I would highly, highly recommend Madeline to take care of your loved one while you are away. I plan on using her again in the very near future and I am glad to have found someone I can rely on to care for my kitten. THANK YOU so much Madeline!!!!

Madeline is a great dog walker! Really sweet with Kai. Very communicative and take such good care of my dog. Kai is always happy after the walk. I appreciated her effort to stay mindful of timing and thoughtful she is with him. Highly recommended!

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.
