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!

Information Madelyn R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have any needs, anxieties, or personality quirks that I should pay extra attention to! I want to make sure they feel as comfortable and safe as possible while you’re away.

A typical day

The time spent with your pets will be tailored to their specific needs and personalities. I’m happy to help provide them with what they need, whether you have a pup that needs to have a good sniff around the yard every day, or a cat that enjoys just a few light scritches. Every critter is different!

Hi there! Excited to work with you!

Pet care experience

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!

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.

she was really good at keeping me updated on my two cats and sending me pictures and also taking care of my fish and watering. My plants would definitely recommend her to watch my animals anytime.

Madelyn has always enjoyed animals. She was raised with a cat, two dogs, hamsters, budgie birds, and fish. She took good care of her dog Sadie, until Madelyn launched off to university, and she managed to teach Sadie several tricks. During her teens she volunteered at a local farm helping school groups interact with the farm animals such as goats, lambs, rabbits, and baby cows. She's also worked at summer camps in the horsemanship area. She will spoil your pets with love and great care!
