Safety, trust & environment

I believe that every interaction should be rooted in building a genuine foundation of trust; when an animal feels secure, they can truly thrive. This bond is especially vital for pets requiring special care or medications—I take the time to move at their pace so that even during medical routines, they feel safe, happy, and relaxed rather than stressed.

Information Madeline L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, behaviors, or preferences! I want to make sure that they are as comfortable as they can be while I care for them.

A typical day

I love to learn about your pets preferences and what activities are their favorites. We'll have a blast with their favorite toy, do some zoomies, and have a rest in their favorite spot.

Pet care experience

Growing up, my childhood home was affectionately known as "The Zoo"—and for good reason! From dogs and cats to bunnies, hamsters, hermit crabs, and fish, I’ve spent my life surrounded by a diverse cast of creatures. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve transitioned from a kid who loved animals to a seasoned caregiver who understands the nuances of pet behavior and health. I’m particularly well-versed in specialized care; I can confidently administer medications and manage complex health routines and I’m a dedicated "cat parent" to my own senior kitty who has CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease), so I truly understand the patience, vigilance, and extra TLC required for pets with chronic conditions. Whether your pet is high-energy or requires more care, they’ll be in experienced, loving hands.

Madeline has cared for several of my pets over the years and I've always been very happy with the results. Madeline is caring and generally concerned with the overall wellbeing of any animal that she is trusted with and easily forms bonds with even the most skittish animals. In working with Madeline over a long period I learned that she had experience with dogs and cats her entire life so it's clear to see that she is naturally an animal lover, which definitely shows through her work. I would definitely continue using Madeline as a resource whenever my pets need care!

We have used Madeline to look after our dog numerous times. My dog gets so excited when she sees her. Madeline is very respectful, attentive & caring. Highly recommend her!
