Safety, trust & environment

I have experience in caring for many different animals: dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, horses, and more! Prior to graduate school, I worked as an ICU nurse. I am a professional caregiver. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. Just tell me what your furry friend or home needs and I will follow your instructions to a T.

Information Mads H. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, it’s important for me to learn as much as possible about them so I can provide safe, comfortable, and personalized care. This includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, and any medical needs or medications. I also like to know about their personality, energy level, likes and dislikes, and how they interact with people or other animals. Information about allergies, behavioral triggers, training cues, and emergency contacts is especially helpful. Knowing these details ahead of time allows me to keep pets happy, reduce stress, and ensure they feel secure while you’re away.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and engaged! Activities include walks and outdoor exploration, games like fetch or tug-of-war, fetch, basic training or trick practice, and lots of playtime suited to their energy level. For calmer pets, I enjoy cuddle time, gentle brushing, and relaxed companionship. I always tailor activities to each pet’s personality, age, and needs to make sure they’re having fun while staying safe and comfortable.

Mads has been my go-to sitter for a while now and she’s done a great job checking in on Delta. Thanks for watching her while I was away for a weekend trip!!

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.
