Pet care experience

Grad student to care for your pets!

I have had dogs and cats my entire life and have loved every furry friend I’ve ever met, big or small. I rescued my reactive 60 lb pup a year ago and we went through positive reinforcement training together for his triggers. I have a basic understanding of canine behavior, safety, and training. I’d love to meet you and your pets! I will love and care for them like they’re my own.💕

Safety, trust & environment

I believe in force free, positive reinforcement training and relationships. I will bring energy and playfulness every time I see your pet. I will always have treats on me and I am happy to learn what training you are working on in order to reinforce that during our walks/play. I’d love to become a consistent, joyful part of your pets life!

Maddy was so communicative and kind! Wes, our older cat, was happy when we came home from our trip!

Madeline was a phenomenal person to watch my cat while I was gone! They were thorough, attentive, communicative and kind throughout all of our interactions. I would highly recommend Madeline to anyone for their Rover needs!

Wonderful cat tending while I was gone on a 6 day trip. I felt totally confident they were getting great care with a once a day drop in. Appreciated photos and a call when one cat was in hiding...both cats warmed up enough to greet their sitter! And Madeline gave my vegetable garden some water too!

This was my third time having Madeline drop in on my senior cat, and she continues to be fantastic. I received regular photos on my vacation along with updates on my cat's eating and drinking habits. I came home to a healthy, happy kitty!

Madeline was kind to the animals and a good communicator. The pets and house were in good condition after our trip. We would definitely recommend her as a sitter and I'm sure we will choose her again for future trips!

Schedule

Im a grad student and part time educator. I don’t work a traditional 9 to 5 and would be happy to care for your pets while you’re away for work or longer trips. Ideally, I’m hoping to build trusting relationships with families looking for consistent care for their animals.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Madeline can host up to 10 drop-ins per day
I am happy to work with any dogs, regardless of need, although I do require complete honesty up front as well as the ability to reach you vie text/call during my scheduled visit/walk. I need to know what their triggers are, if they pull on walks, if they have strong recall in case of emergency, and what language you use during training. If your dog pulls on walks, there needs to be the appropriate anti-pull harness available. I do not use aversive training/walking tools (namely prong collars or e-collars). If these are the only tools available and you expect me to use them, I am not the walker/sitter for you. If your dog has any reactivity struggles or special needs, I would like to meet with you and your dog first to create a safety plan and get as much information as possible. I'd be happy to spend time with you and your pet first in order to establish trust and hopefully desensitize them to me entering your home without you. I retain the right to refuse walking/sitting for a pet who bites or tries to bite me or if your dog shows signs of aggression upon entering your home (snarling, snapping, hackles up, stiff tail, etc). I will request that you return immediately if I'm bitten and it breaks the skin.
