Caring pet professional
Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs for over 10 years and cats for about 2 years now. I have two chihuahuas who are 14 and 12 years old but they will always be my babies! They are my everything and I want to give more pet owners peace of mind when leaving their pets at home. I love all animals and make it a personal priority to learn each one’s personality. My friends and family would always turn to me for pet sitting even as a kid. I’ve been formally pet sitting for about 3 years now. I am currently taking classes at UNO but I usually am away for less than 2 hrs on a weekday.
Reviews
Madeline was great house sitting our 2 yr old Labrador while we were out of town. She provided updates with pictures and video throughout the day to show just how well Red was being taken care of. We will definitely look to rebook with Madeline the next time we leave town.
Madeline is the perfect person to watch, sit, walk, play, etc. for anyones fur baby. She currently pet sits my cat Salem, who adores her. With cats having their own ways and personality, she’s able to break that barrier by just being herself and I believe that shows a lot about who you can trust around your pet. She currently does in-home sitting for me on the days I am away working for longer periods of time. She is very communicative. Constantly sending videos and pictures of my pet in her care at the time. She’s very flexible and has made her schedule to always fit around my personal needs and if she isn’t, she finds ways to work around that so that I and also Salem is cared for. She responds quickly and is super professional and also takes in the needs and care that Salem needs. She’s recommended and suggested products and it’s worked for Salem. I’m super thankful I found Madeline to care for Salem, because she truly treats him as if he were her own.
Madeline is amazing! I was nervous leaving my senior dog but she made me feel assured she was in good hands. She sent me pictures and updates daily and often. She is responsible, caring, and spent extra time with my dog to make them comfortable.
I first met Maddie when she watched my bull-mastiff, Ruben, while I was out of town for a week. She made sure he had food and water twice a day, let him outside, and even spent extra time with him so he wouldn't be alone as much. Maddie sent me daily text updates which gave me peace of mind while I was away. The best testament to Maddie's skill with and passion for animals is Ruben's excitement when he sees her now. His happiness upon seeing her gives me the comfortability to leave any of my pets in her care.

I currently care for two separate households with drop in visits. I give them some time to potty, play time, and cuddle time for every visit.
Information Madeline H. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how best to make your pet comfortable- favorite toys, ways to play, places they sleep. It is also helpfully to know any triggers such as places they don’t like to be touched or loud noises.
A typical day
I love to play fetch with my clients dogs as it’s a great way to get some mental and physical energy out. I’ll usually spend the second half of a sitting, cuddling and caring for them. For new clients I give the pup some time to get comfortable with me so I can make them happy to the best of my ability!
