Pet care experience

Attentive Animal Lover

I've lived with various animals all my life—bunnies, rodents, reptiles, cats, and dogs. I’m trusted by family and friends to care for their pets. I was a dedicated vegan for 9 years, driven by a profound love for animals and their well-being. I am highly attuned to animals' body language, ensuring their comfort and respecting their boundaries. My knowledge extends to safety measures, like checking pavement temperature and ensuring collars are fitted properly to prevent choking during walks.

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to caring for your pets, they are my top priority. From cuddles to outdoor adventures, I'm all about making sure they feel right at home and loved. I’ll make sure your home, their environment, stays shipshape. Plus, I believe in open communication and providing regular updates to ensure your peace of mind.

Madelyn was absolutely amazing! We have two senior dogs and she made sure they were comfortable and taken care of. We will be absolutely using Madelyn again!

Madelyn was wonderful!! This was our first time using a dog sitter and I’m thrilled we found her! She took such great care of our senior dog and our home. Our dog was comfortable with her and so were we! We’ll definitely be inviting her back!

Madelyn was really great with my dog and made sure he was comfortable while I was away. She followed all the instructions I left her and provided hourly updates so could see how he was doing. She fed him as instructed, gave him treats and took him on his evening walk - overall it was a great experience and I would definitely call her again to housesit. :) she was amazing.

Madelyn has been an amazing sitter for our cat Bella. This is the second time we’ve had her and I cannot express how grateful we are as a family to have someone who genuinely loves and cares for our cat. Madelyn has afforded us peace of mind when we are away and it’s always so comforting to see the pictures she posts whenever she visits her. I highly recommend Madelyn. She is passionate in her work and truly takes time to understand a pet. Thank you Madelyn!

Blown away by how well Madelyn took care of our house and dog, Moose! She was incredibly prepared, handled Moose’s diet perfectly, and sent us daily updates. Moose seemed like he had the time of his life, and plenty of treats. Our house was left spotless, as though we’d never left. She truly went above and beyond. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a house or dog sitter!

Let me know your communication preferences, if you would like daily updates or less often. I’d love to know about any troublesome habits they have, like a space in the fence they escape from or if they like to rummage the garbage. I’ll also ask you about their temperament, triggers, and their feeding/walking/sleeping routine.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
