I work from home, so pups staying with us are rarely left alone except for maybe an hour or so if I need to run errands or have plans. Would prefer all boarding animals to be crate trained, just in case of emergencies.

Pet care experience

I have lived with/cared for dogs my entire life, and though I would consider myself a “dog-person” - I love spending time with all animals! I work from home so I have tons of flexibility for daily drop-ins, walks, and boarding needs. I have an almost-3 year old dog at home that I take on multiple daily walks, as well as a fenced in backyard, and she loves hanging out with new friends! I have been fostering for the last year, so have welcomed many different temperaments into our home and have gained experience in administering medication and dealing with high stress/anxiety animals, and can read body language extremely well. I can accommodate many different needs for any pet - senior dogs and puppies are welcomed. I’m very excited to have the opportunity to meet and hang out with your beloved pets!

Madelyn was so incredibly kind and provided sweet TLC to our beagle mix. She sent texts and pics during her visit…her communication with us was so greatly appreciated. And our dog loved her! This was our first time using Rover and we’ll definitely call on Madelyn again! Thank you Madelyn ❤️!

Madelyn was fantastic! She was extremely communicative and gave me updates and plenty of pics throughout the day. I felt at ease being away for the day knowing Madelyn was taking care of my pups! Will definitely be reaching out again to her in the future!

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.
