Pet care experience

Doggone great caretaker :)

I was involved in a terrible accident and currently have no mode of transportation or the ability to walk, so I won’t be able to accept any clients or requests till June 2025. I’m so sorry for the inconvenience! ***Currently not taking Day care or Boarding clients* I have been involved in rescue work for over 10 years, I started by working my first job at my local shelter and then fostering and helping board dogs and cats for coastal GA rescues and providing transport for pet needs. I have experience training dogs basic commands, leash etiquette, and agility training and have raised puppies. I also have a ton of experience with TNR, feral cat rescue, and socializing cats of all ages, temperaments and abilities. I’ve provided pet sitting and overnight boarding for friends and family for over 8 years and am looking to expand my services. I will happily love and play with your pet, give long walks, play fetch or cuddle if needed. I especially have a soft spot for special needs and senior dogs, I’ll do my best to give the quality care they deserve. I am also happy to provide care for farm animals (chickens, horses, goats,etc.)and exotic pets such as fish, birds, bunnies, turtles, snakes and guinea pigs. I happily provide services within a 5-10 mile radius of Statesboro, GA. For requests further away I will be adding a 5-10$ fee depending on booking distance/service. :) I do have experience giving medication including oral, topical or shots (insulin). Feel free to let me know what your pet needs! Will also be happy to send check in messages and pictures. :)

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a cozy 2 bed apartment with loving cat who mind their own and are use to being around other pets and fosters. I have an unfenced yard and will provide leashed/harnessed walks while your pupper stays with me. I prefer to stick to your pets normal walk/food/sleep schedule so they are happy and comfortable in my home or yours. I do allow pets on the couch and bed, but have my own large crate and spare room if needed. My cats are fully vaccinated, heartworm free and flea treated and go to the vets regularly, I prefer to only board pets that have proof of vaccination if staying in my home. If you have any particular needs such as med dispensing or giving shots, I have experience with that as well. :)

Madeline took amazing care of our four sassy buddies! They are pretty particular, and she did a fantastic job and kept us well informed after every visit. We are so grateful!

Thanks for taking such good care of my boys. Congratulations. You got a meerkat out of Claude. That’s quite an achievement. Hope it was a good weekend. Thanks again.

House Sitting • May 20, 2024

Madeline was our pet sitter for the last two years (from when we moved to the area to when we moved away). She watched our dog and two cats in our home on numerous occasions (maybe 15 different overnight stays, ranging from one to five nights). She always went above and beyond to ensure that our pets were comfortable and cared for. She routinely checked in with photo messages and was quick to respond to my questions. One thing that really stuck out to me was how excited my dog would be when we ran into Madeline at community events. In short, I highly recommend hiring her as your pet sitter.

Medaline was amazing and I couldn’t thank her enough. She worked so hard to take care of Ghost, even during a big storm. When Rover made a mistake by showing the incorrect distance, she did not cancel with great effort from her and truly saved the day with taking care of Ghost.

Madeline was amazing with our senior special needs dog while we were out of town! We received lots of pictures and a thorough report every drop in visit. Madeline also had no issues navigating our smart home door locks and security system.
