Services

Madeline can care for

Cats

Availability

Pet care is my first priority. I work as a physicist at a local university and make my own schedule. I do teach labs 6-9pm most week nights but other than that, I am open to visits at all times of the day.

Safety, trust & environment

Cats tend to like me but I’m not offended if they don’t! Often I’ll come into a meet and greet and hear a cat is stand offish and I’ll be petting them in minutes. I like to get all of the business done right off the bat: food, water, litter. Then it’s okay or cuddle time. My favorite toy is the felt rainbow string on a wand! I have experience taking cats outside if it is a normal part of the cat’s routine and the situation seems safe. My own cat comes on walks with me every day in a backpack.

Information Madeline H. would like to know about your pet

What is your cat’s routine? Where do they like to hide or hang out? What is their favorite toy (my first question at a meet and greet)?

A typical day

I love playing with cats who are into it! Not all cats are. Sometimes they just want me to talk to them and I am a yapper! I’ll talk your cat’s ear off. I love pets and cuddles which are not as rare as I once thought! I’ve found cats are often extra loving during my visits as they try to smush a day of attention into our visits.

Cat aficionado!

Cat care experience

I have had cats my entire life and have spent that time learning about their unique needs and communication styles. I have spent my years on Rover mainly doing cat care. I love being the one to visit them while their family is away and taking the time to get to know them. One of my cats takes liquid medication orally and I have experience with eye and ear care. I have provided care to cats who take pill and injection medication. I am willing to go above and beyond to meet your needs!
