Pet care experience

Dog & Toddler Mom 🐾

I have taken care of my own pets, as well as pets of friends and families, for years. I have been on Rover since 2024 and boarding since 2025. When taking care of other people’s animals I always make sure to follow instructions precisely, I want to make sure owners feel comfortable and confident leaving their pets on my care. It’s a great comfort when you know your fur baby is happy when you’re away! A few things about us: 🐾 Cruz (11) & Ladybug (6) are both husky mixes we rescued when they were 2. They’re always excited to make new friends! 🐾 I have a 3 year old tiny human who prioritizes giving love (like her life depends on it) to each and every animal who comes to visit! Any pet who comes to visit will assuredly feel welcome by our animal lover. 🐾 Fenced in yard + access to local trails right out the front door! 🐾 100% pet friendly home, that being said cleanliness and safety are a priority. I prioritize cleaning (a lot of vacuuming is to be had here!) and use pet safe cleaning products! All unsafe products or items are stored up and away from tiny hands and paws. We’re so excited to meet you and your best friend(s)!

Madelyn has an incredible demeanor for dog sitting! She watched my two dogs as we visited the Anchorage area. She was able to accommodate us with a drop off time change and take care over two dogs with different feeding needs and personalities. I highly recommend working with Madelyn. You can trust that your dog will be taken care of and come home happy!

Thanks for a short notice stay. Lucky seemed happy at pickup. I would have appreciated more communication esp with a senior dog who has separation anxiety.

Madelyn is amazing and my pup is always so spoiled! Also took such amazing care of my flower pots and garden. We have had her many times—so great!

Safety, trust & environment

I have two large (60lbs) and rambunctious dogs. Our animals are exposed to a lot of mental stimulus through puzzles, training, and toys. Playing and providing exercise for them is a daily routine in our house!

Pets

A typical day

If the animal has toys that they prefer to play with I will make sure they are used during the visit. Depending on the time of year, we’ll spend most of our time outside. Outdoor pets have access to the yard 24/7 when we’re home. If you have an indoor only pet we’ll play inside as much as they want. I love to utilize kongs, lick mats and frozen treats to keep dogs engaged and occupied. We go on walks everyday either around the neighborhood or one of the trails.

0 to 15 lbs

Please let me know if your pets have any kind of stipulations i.e. health concerns, more activity or less activity during a visit, and areas they may or may not be allowed to go (for drop in visits). Please specify any territorial behavior, aggression toward other animals, and anxiety your pet may have.
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.
