Professional Pet Lover

I grew up on a farm, I’ve been around animals my entire life. I’ve worked with nearly every kind of equine animal and household pet! I have plenty of experience handling dogs with “behavioral problems”. I’m comfortable administering most medications and even have plenty of success with cats haha!

Madeline is very reliable and i have always rebooked with her! I couldn’t have done without her! She is very comfortable with my cats and knows exactly how to take care of them.

Madeline did an amazing job taking care of my cats while I was away! She communicated with me consistently, sent lots of photos and detailed updates after each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about them and made sure they were well looked after. I came home to two happy cats, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

House Sitting • Jul 12, 2026

Madeline has taken amazing care of our senior cat and dog over multiple long house stays. Each time she has gone above and beyond to care for our pets, even stopping by after the official end of the stay to ensure everyone got fed and meds on time. She takes the best care of everyone and would highly recommend her as a sitter!

Schedule

I currently walking dogs in Lakeview, Uptown, Lincoln Park and the Gold Coast. My infant son accompanies me on walks and visits, I wear him in a baby carrier so I’m still able to use my full attention and two hands to love your pets! I’m available every week day before 6pm. I spend most of my time hiking/observing urban Mycology and would love to bring your pet along if that is what you wish! For house sitting and pet sitting, I’m available regularly as I do not leave town often.

Safety, trust & environment

I always use a secondary collar for your pets safety on hikes and walks, I also require a meet and greet to establish a relationship before any outings or house sitting. I will only walk your pet where you approve and I only use pre approved food and treats.

A typical day

I love keeping dogs and cats engaged on walks and when pet sitting! I bring treats and toys for my clients that need a little extra stimulation. I’m always willing to work with your dog on training as well!

I like to have a rundown of the dogs possible triggers. For example some dogs are fairly reactive towards other dogs, buses, bikes, scooters etc. I also like to request any allergy or medication information I may need during a walk/visit. Please also let me know if your dog has a routine or if your building has any rules regarding dogs in the lobby or elevators, etc.
