Highlights
Pet care experience
Hi there! Excited to work with you!
I grew up with dogs and a cat, and often took neighborhood pet sitting jobs. I also worked with small animals on a local farm for several years, and currently live in a house with two dogs, who I help care for when their owners are away. Over the past six years or so, I’ve done pet and house sitting for various clients, and it’s been a fantastic experience! I look forward to meeting your pets and helping give you the time away you deserve!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have plenty of experience caring for big dogs, small dogs, and cats, and am counting down the days until I’m able to have one of my own. Sadly, I’m not in a position to bring any pets home to my current residence, but that means I have lots of extra attention I can give to your pets while you’re away! Your routines and specific-to-you needs regarding your home and pets are important, and my goal is to make sure those needs are provided for. Whether you’re gone for the night on business or spending a week on vacation, don’t hesitate to reach out! I prioritize open communication, and you will receive regular updates while you’re away. Excited to hear from you!
Ratings and reviews
Madelyn is a professional! Communicative, prompt. There was an unforeseen circumstance with my pup while I was gone and Madelyn accommodated, and adjusted accordingly - ensuring that my dog had the best care she could.

Five stars, without hesitation! Thank you so much, Madelyn, for staying with Lola while I was traveling! I came home to find everything exactly as I left it, and Lola was clearly happy and well cared for. I have zero complaints and nothing but gratitude. It's such a relief to leave your baby with someone you can trust, and Madelyn made that easy. I'd recommend Madelyn to any pet parent looking for a sitter while they're away. Thank you again. I'd book her again in a heartbeat!

Madelyn was great!! She took extra good care of our pup and kept us updated on him while we were away. I would definitely use her again!!

Madelyn was great with both of our dogs. We have 2 German shepherds 100lbs+ and we have a road behind our house with no fence. She had no problems with them. Left our house spotless, washed and folded all the bedding that she slept on as well. We have used rover multiple times and she has by far been the best house/dog sitter that we have used. We highly recommend using her. We will definitely be using her the future!


Madelyne did great watching both my dog and cat and taking care of my home! She communicated well and my animals seemed very happy when I returned.
Madelyn recently stayed with our lab, Jules, for several days. Our dog is very anxious and hates when we have to leave her but Madelyn took such good care of her that Jules seemed relaxed and content when we returned. Not only was she happy but our house was in perfect order. Madelyn even washed and folded her sheets. I would definitely want Madelyn to watch our anxious lab the next time we have to go out of town.
