Highlights
Pet care experience
Communication is everything! 🐾
I’m a cat mom and enthusiastic animal lover who loves to make new furry friends! Although I'm newer to Rover, I'm not new to pet care. From the age of eight, I’ve gotten first-hand experience with caring for, playing with, walking, feeding, potty-training, and administering medication to pets, particularly small to medium-sized dogs of various breeds. My family’s household has never been without a pet. I have my own pet, my tuxedo gatita whom I shower with love. In my home state of GA, my parents have two toy poodles, one of whom I helped raise from puppyhood and both of whom I miss every day. I have a strong background in caring for dogs. In my current day-to-day, I've had more immediate experience with cat care. As every pet owner knows, companion animals are remarkably like us in their ability to feel joy, happiness, and love. I do everything I can to imbue those feelings in the animals under my care. I love to stay active by spending time outside and going on walks myself, and I would love to take your furry companion with me. Also a homebody at heart, I would be more than happy to travel to your home and snuggle up to your little one while you’re away. I am so excited to meet them!

Safety, trust & environment
I’ll follow your instructions to a T while watching your babies in your home while also giving them plenty of love, care, and hangout time. When meeting a new dog for walking, I like to use a 2-clip leash with a backup point of contact until we establish rapport. Whether your furbaby is a boundless extrovert or a shy wallflower, I'll meet them where they are and give them their space and time to warm up to me. Either way, I stay attentive and observant of their needs to ensure they're healthy and content. Alongside pet-related tidying, I also take care to leave things as I found them when coming into your home. Unless you indicate you prefer otherwise, I typically send 10-15 photos for each visit so you can get as complete a picture as possible as to how your pet is doing under my care.
Ratings and reviews
I will book with Madeline whenever I am out of town and she is available! So reliable, always on time and great communication!
Madeline was so amazing! Stopped by for a meet and greet beforehand and was super communicative. Followed all my instructions and sent lots of pics. Will definitely book again!
I will absolutely hire Madeline again in the future! I was so nervous for my first cat sitting experience, and she was so professional, communicative, and sensitive to my cat’s needs. My cat has a ton of specialized social and food needs, and Madeline handled all of them with care and consideration — she even had my shy girl chatting and asking for pets within a visit. Above and beyond in so many ways. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and feel so relieved that I have a sitter I feel comfortable with and can rely on :)
Amazing amazing cat sitter
Madeline, thank you for all the care and attention you gave Fiona! You were so on top of things and all the pictures were SO helpful.
Madeline was great with my very skittish cat, and super communicative. I would certainly ask her to look after him again.

Schedule
I am a part-time student, and I am in class from 9a-4p on Tuesdays and from 3p-8p on Wednesdays. All other days are wide open! Let's work out a schedule that will work best for you and your pet!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsMadeline can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
- It would be a huge help if you can let me know how your furbaby typically is when meeting new people - I'm more than ready to meet them halfway. Any reactivity or anxiety triggers, special instructions or special needs, I will heed. Otherwise, anything and everything you can tell me about your little one - no detail is too small.
