Pet care experience
Hi y'all, I’m Madeline! I’m an animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a sweet lab/border collie mix and now share my home with a quirky rescue cat, so I’m just as comfortable tossing a ball at the park as I am sharing quiet company with a shy kitty. Over the years, I’ve helped care for friends, family’s and roommate’s pets, including daily walks, overnight sitting, or making sure pets stay happy and healthy while their humans are away. I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’m available on holidays and weekends for any pet sitting needs you may have. If I’m watching / or pup sitting for the weekend, I’ll make sure to walk him/her every 3-4 hours (if your dog has special needs, I am happy to discuss different options with you!)

Reviews
Madeline takes incredible care of my black lab on weekly walks while I'm busy working. I trust her completely knowing that she treats my baby like her own. She has a sweet and nurturing nature and is a true animal lover and I'm so happy I have her help! I highly recommend her - she is trustworthy, kind, communicative, and dependable. Our boy has a great time with Madeline and always looks forward to his next visit with her.
Madeline has watched our 2 cats several times. One cat is very shy and one is very rude. She comes in once a day to check and refill the auto feeders, leave out some wet food and refill the water, and clean out litter boxes. Our cats hate when we go on vacation but they are so well cared for by Madeline, we never have to worry.
Madeline did a fantastic job watching my two dogs, Jim and Amy, during a three week stretch of business trips down to Alabama (Roll tide!). She did so well that I’ve asked her to continue helping while I’m away for future business trips as well. Madeline did so well with the dogs and they seem so happy when she’s taking care of them. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Madeline has been my first choice when it comes to taking care and walking my dogs. She shows professionalism, care, and kindness in every single way. She would be a great primary caregiver for anyone’s fur babies! I know that I trust her deeply with mine.
