Pet care experience

Proud lab, rescue and cat mom.

As a kid, I grew up with standard poodles and started horseback riding at young age which started my love for animals. I grew up working around the horse farm, taking care of family and friends pets, and volunteering at local rescues. In college, I pursued a pre-veterinary degree at Virginia Tech, but ended up switching degrees to fish and wildlife conservation. I have worked as a veterinary assistant and an animal caretaker for a private farm that had Irish wolfhounds and farm animals. In these positions I gained experience in medication administration, animal care and health, and animal behavior. My fur babies are a 9 year old black lab who I have had since she was 8 weeks old, a 10 year old large mixed breed rescue, and a 4 year old black cat rescue.

Safety, trust & environment

I will adhere to any special requests you have when caring for your fur babies in your home. I can provide outside play time in the yard, dog park visits, nature walks, or just some lounge time on the couch. You decide what they need based on their daily lives and personality. I will care for your home and fur babies like they are my own.

Always amazing with our hyper Apollo! He’s a one year old black Labrador retriever who is needy and she does an amazing job walking him. Madeline also writes us the best summary of her stay and takes amazing pictures of our fur baby!

Madeline was excellent! She had pretty open availability which was a life saver. Left very thorough details about the walk she went on, and took quite a few pictures as well. Highly recommended and will definitely book her in the future.

Please let me know if your pets have any special issues, medications, or behaviors to adjust to. I completely understand that every animal is different. Having two rescues of my own, I understand that their behaviors and triggers can vary greatly from those of a pet raised in your home since they were a baby. Open communication is key to making your fur babies comfortable when you aren’t there.
