I am nonprofit executive director who is supplementing income by caring for pets. I have worked for animal protection non-profits for the last decade doing animal care, education, outreach, and development. I have a master's in humane education and bachelor's degrees in zoology and child development. To call myself an animal lover is an understatement. My life is dedicated to animals. *Please note that I cannot do overnight care for pets as I have a dog-reactive dog, two cats, and two mice of my own. Available for drop-in care only. I do travel for my nonprofit work so my pet care availability is reflective of that.

Madeline took very good care of our kitties while we were away! She was easy to communicate with and provided plenty of photos and updates! Our very shy and not often seen kitty warmed up to her and came out for treats and pets in 2 short visits!

Madeline was absolutely amazing with our kitties. This was our first time leaving them home and using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Madeline was prompt at communicating and solving any issues or mischief and sending us (great!) pics of her time with the cats. Our cats got all the love and cuddles we asked for. Even our youngest, who’s very shy and skeptical of new people, came out and gave Madeline head bumps on the first day!

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.
