Active, dog loving medical student

Pet care experience

I’ve had family dogs since I was young and have personal experience fostering. I’m a medical student and do not have a dog, so I am always eager to spend time with the dogs of my community!

Madeline is probably the best Rover sitter we have ever used. She was friendly, communicative & left our home clean. She went above and beyond collecting chicken eggs & our mail, letting the cleaners in & washing her linens. She made our trip stress free!

Madeline did an amazing job in watching my Weimaraner pup. I strongly recommend her to anyone!

Madeline did a great job sitting for our sweet girl. She left our house very tidy. We appreciated the photo updates.

Safety, trust & environment

I live across the street from a safe trail system that I know very well, so the dog I am caring for and I will be safe. If watching the dog(s) in a clients home, I will make sure to be familiar with all safety and security measures of that home.

Information Madeline S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I need to account for. I am comfortable working with many dogs but for the safety of myself and the dog, I do ask to know anything pertinent up front.

A typical day

I love walking and running so we can get a lot of energy out that way, but I also have fun engaging dogs while on walks and allowing them to enjoy their environment. During a home-visit, I like to play with dogs in their comfort zone and work their brains mentally with games, as well their bodies physically.

I am currently a student with a mixed schedule of on and off campus responsibilities. I have time almost every day for walks or potty breaks. I can plan house-sitting. I already go for many walks throughout Des Moines and West Des Moines, so I look forward to adding pups to my walks and making home-visits to play!
