Highlights
Pet care experience
Dedicated Animal Lover
I have been a pet sitter since I was a small child. I have also had the pleasure of being the owner of dogs, cats, ferrets, bunnies, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians. I am a former Vet Tech and am well versed in the medical needs of geriatric, pregnant and ill pets. I started fostering street cats and kitttens while in college and have rescued over 100 cats and dogs. I have experience bottle feeding, administering medications, as well as vaccines and I am great at identifying illness in animals. I love to care for but also play with furry family members. I love animals and they tend to love me too :-) I believe in not just caring for but enriching the lives of our animals. I had 8 foster dogs at one time, so I am good at controlling a pack if necessary. I do not get overwhelmed easily, and I am trained in the Fear Free Shelter way of handling animals to reduce stress and increase trust and connection between an animal and a person. I will care for you pet like they are my own! I tend to connect with animals in a way that i cant really explain. I even like to give my animals massages which they always enjoy, and I hope yours will too! I am a former dog-poop-scooper so I am a stickler on cleaning up after fur babies. This not only helps the environment and prevents the spread of internal parasites, but it also gives me a chance to notice potential medical issues that would otherwise go unnoticed.

Safety, trust & environment
I currently have only one dog, Domino, Min for short, and she is very well taken care of. I never allow her to be off leash regardless of the fact that she is trained to stay by my side. She has run of the fenced in backyard, but I still make sure to go outside with her incase one of the gates is accidentally open. She sleeps in bed with me every night and I wouldn't have it any other way. She is UTD on shots and has been fixed since she was a puppy. She loves her baths, doing tricks for treats and walks around our neighborhood. I spend a lot of time on the floor with her snuggling and getting "face washes" from her. I kind of tend to let the animal I'm working with take the lead on what they want from me. Maybe its snuggle time, maybe its play time.... maybe they just want to be brushed and have their ears cleaned! whatever your pet likes to do is what I like to do with them :-)
Ratings and reviews
Another amazing booking with Madeline! I'm so grateful I have her to take care of my pup when I'm gone. She goes above and beyond. I love all the daily photos and updates she gives me. My dog adores her, she's reliable, and I enjoy my vacation knowing my dog is well taken care of. I highly recommend Madeline as a pet sitter, SHE IS THE BEST!!!!
Maddie was awesome. This was our first experience with her and she did not disappoint. Her whole focus was our two dogs. Spending quality time with each one insuring not only were their needs of fee, watering and outside to pee, poop and run off some energy accomplished; but she loved on them a lot and did things like brushing their coats and cleaning their dog bowls at the end of the visits. We felt very comfortable with Maddie taking care of our dogs and will use her in the future.
Madeline is the BEST! The dogs felt so comfortable with her. She updated me with pictures, video, and status of the dogs. I appreciated her communication and how well she cared for our pups. I felt confident in leaving our dogs in her care. I highly recommend Madeline.
We had a great first time experience with Maddie! Love her personality and her love of fur babies! We felt very comfortable knowing Maddie was taking care of our boys. She shared multiple pictures that confirmed they were being all taken care of! Will definitely love to book her again in the near future!
Madeline was wonderful with our two dogs and cat. One of our pups is very shy and slow to warm up to people, but she was snuggling with Madeline and asking for belly rubs on day 2. We got lots of pictures to keep us updated while we were away and all the pets were clearly happy and being well cared for. We have already booked Madeline for our next trip!
Another amazing booking with Madeline! My dog Zoe loves her, and I can rest easy and enjoy my vacation knowing my pup is happy and well taken care of. I completely trust Madeline and highly recommend her. Madeline goes above and beyond, sends detailed daily reports and photos, and truly loves animals.

I recently moved to the area and I am hoping to make this a full time job so that I can develop a long lasting, positive and rewarding rapport with the animals in my care!
