Going Away? I can Sit, Stay & Play!

Pet care experience

Hello, My name is Madelyn, I am from Marblehead and recently graduated from Salem State. Currently, for work, I am babysitting as needed for a few infants and housesitting, which leaves me with plenty of free time for your furry friends! I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, as a toddler and young child I would go to work with my aunt on an alpaca farm. My aunt is the biggest animal lover I know and always had animals of all different species in and out of her care. This provided me with the opportunity to interact with, care for, and develop a love for so many different types of pets and animals. With that being said, I have extensive experience with ferrets, lizards, chickens, fish, and other birds. As well as experience with a variety of other small mammals and reptile species. I have experience with dogs of all ages as well as with a variety of breeds. Last summer I decided to create a Facebook group called "Pets of Marblehead" to connect local pet owners! On "Pets of Marblehead" you're encouraged to ask questions, share experiences, seek advice, and more. If you are based in a city near Marblehead and are active on Facebook it is a very helpful resource for pet owners!

I hate leaving these reviews because I want to keep her all for myself. Madelyn is fantastic and my first and only choice for sitting every time.

Madelyn was absolutely wonderful with our dog and gave us updates on his walks and his great care. Would definitely recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

Housesitting: I use your home as my “home base” meaning I will sleep, work, and spend any downtime in your home. This does not mean I will be at your home 24/7, I may leave your pup home alone for up to 4 hours at a time. Walks: When walking, I will provide your pup with a nice walk around their neighborhood. I’d be happy to collaborate with doggy friends or neighbors for group walks as well! Drop-ins: If you are going away and leaving your furry (or scaly or feathery!) friends home alone, I am available to stop in to provide food, water, potty breaks/cleanups, and lots of cuddles! *If you have a friendly pup who would like to meet a new friend you can inquire about having them meet my family's 2yo dog, Bowie. If my mom is available, she is happy to bring him for a visit*

Information Madelyn B. would like to know about your pet

After booking a house-sitting stay I will send out a Google Form that asks a variety of questions about your dog(s), cat, and home. It is a helpful way for me to organize all instructions, notes, comments, and contact/vet information. Thank you!

A typical day

When booking a house-sitting stay, I will make sure your pup's daily routine isn’t disturbed too much! Also, I will always leave your home exactly as I left it if not a little cleaner! *Need a housecleaning or room organization? Feel free to inquire for an additional fee!
