Safety, trust & environment

I can only offer care in client's homes at this time. I would treat your home the way I would want a new guest to treat mine, respectfully. I have pet sit, house sit, and baby sat throughout life, often for recurring friends, family, and colleagues. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as they can with their person being gone, and will always give what is needed to accomplish that. Care, safety, and security is what I value.

Information Madeline F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, and some of their likes and dislikes so I can prepare to get to know them ahead of time. I want them to feel comfortable when I first come around.

A typical day

I love to play with pets and find out their favorite things. I'll be sure that they are happy and ready for a good rest whether it be playing with their toys, fetch, a walk, getting the zoomies out in the yard or dog park, I've got them covered.

Pets

Caring, experienced, and flexible

Pet care experience

I have been a veterinary assistant through the years since 2011. I am trained in basic maintenance and veterinary tasks. My duties included kennels, patient care, medicine distribution, and baths/brush outs, just to name the everyday tasks. I am a huge animal lover and I learn quickly when it comes to caring for a new type of pet that I have not yet cared for. I am of course skilled with cats and dogs, even if they're nervous around strangers. I can also take on the task of just about anything else, I've taken on a zoo of critters. I attended UNL studying Applied Science and Fisheries and Wildlife, and now work alongside NE Game and Parks. I would be delighted to take care of your pets. References and resume available upon request.

Madeline came to my rescue when I urgently needed a sitter for the weekend. She was incredibly kind, flexible, communicative and regularly sent pics to demonstrate the happiness and well-being of my dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!

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.
