Love, care, and exercise is key!
Pet care experience
I have been pet sitting through Rover for 5 years with an additional 2 years experience as a Boarding and Animal Care Technician at an animal hospital and a year's experience at a doggy daycare. At the animal hospital my duties were to feed and exercise dogs and cats, administer medications, clean kennels, and do laundry. I have years of volunteering experience working with horses and other small pets. Cleaning up messes is no big deal, I've seen them all! I have a strong work ethic and work well under time constraints. I love every pet as if they are my own and believe all pets deserve the best care! I moved to Bozeman recently for a fulltime Housekeeping job. With my new fulltime hours, (7:30am-5:30pm) I have moved from pet sitting to ONLY cat sitting, as my working hours aren't always friendly to our canine friends' potty schedules. I do, however, offer Drop-ins for cats and dogs as well as Dog Walking on the weekends. Priority number one is the health and safety of your pet. Please tell me if they have any allergies, medications, or quirks that I should know about. ***Please note that I will not accept any (new client) requests with less than two weeks notice. This is is for scheduling purposes so that I can have to proper time to get to know you and your pet!***
Reviews
Madie is fabulous, our babies were happy and healthy when we got home. And my house was nice and clean. She is the best!
Madie was such a blessing to have as a sitter. She was beyond thorough and her love for my pet was tangible! She updated me all the time with pictures to keep my heart at ease while I was away from my geriatric dog haha. She handled my senior dog with great care and my house with the same respect as her own. I am so thankful!
Madie was absolutely fabulous with our kitties! And my house was clean and so nice to come home to! She kept In great contact with me with daily check ins and pics. 10/10 would highly recommend Madie ❤️
Madie was wonderful as always with our old, sweet girl and our energetic younger dogs. She is super professional, sends great notes and cares so so much.

Safety, trust & environment
There are many safety measures I take when caring for animals. In my opinion, you can never be too careful. Here's an incomplete list of my some of the measures I take: Triple checking locks, making sure the door is clear before entering/exiting the home, animal-awareness in the kitchen area to prevent food from getting snatched up, comfortable setting house alarms (but won't if you don't want me to), monitoring outside time, cleaning up toys to prevent eating unsafe bits, feeding or medicating animals separately, maintaining a clean environment, and more. I emphasize communication by sending regular, daily updates. For cat sitting, updates come in the afternoon with pictures and a daily summary of how your pet behaved (as well as if they are eating their food, going potty, and so on) so that I can provide peace of mind to you and reassurance that your pet is doing well. I want you to know that I am putting in 110% effort in taking care of your fur baby! At the end of every drop-in and walk I am required to send updates with pictures on how your animals is doing- their activities, if they ate or drank, and went potty.
Information Madie F. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed or size preferences, but it is necessary for me to know if your pet is aggressive towards people, dogs, or other pets so I can plan activities to suit their comfort zone. Does your dog or cat have a favorite snack, a preferred walking space or potty time? Does your pet have a favorite game or intellectually stimulating activity? When does your dog bark? Any medications, eye/ear drops that need to be administered at specific times? It's never a bad idea for an owner to create a "To Do" list for me to complete while working with a pet.
A typical day
Cat sitting: I will play with your cat as much as they want to play! Exercise and mental stimulation are key to a healthy pet. I'm always open to cuddle but will leave them alone if they want space. Walks: I can walk your dog around neighborhoods or in parks. Play time is a necessary fun way to manage energy levels and encourage good sleep. Drop-Ins: All of the above!

My working hours at my fulltime job are about 7:30am to around 5:30pm with occasional overtime on the weekends, so I will be feeding your cat in the mornings right before i leave for work and as soon as I get back. Your pet(s) will be my top priority while they are in my care. I'm very thorough when discussing your pet's needs and will contact you the moment i have any questions. I'd rather ask and confirm details with you than assume. Dog walking & Drop-Ins (Saturdays and Sundays ONLY): I'm pretty free on the weekends other than the occasional day of overtime, so I'm sure we can find a good time for me to drop by and/or walk your pet.
