About Madeline

Madeline, professional pet sitter

Your Trusted Pet Care Professional

Hello! I’m Madeline Coyte, your neighborhood pet care professional! My love for animals began when I was just a child with my own cats and dogs and has grown into a lifelong passion and career. Prior to becoming a full-time pet sitter in 2023, I worked as a pet care specialist for 3 years and a veterinary assistant for 5 years. I also graduated with my Bachelors in Animal Science in 2019 from the University of Findlay.

What sets me apart is my genuine connection with animals. I don’t just feed and walk pets – I get to know their personalities, their quirks, and what makes them happiest. Plus, I always send you a cute picture! Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I’m grateful I get to spend every day caring for each and every pet as if it were my own!

Outside of caring for your pets, I enjoy bike riding with my husband, cuddling our cats, walking our dog, reading, and watching TV. I also enjoy camping with my family and their pets back in Ohio!

“Madeline has visited our pup 3 times now. She is fantastic. Missy has stranger anxiety and Madeline is super patient with her and willing to meet her where she is, every time. She seeks guidance on how to approach certain situations with our dog so as not to make her more nervous. I HIGHLY recommend Madeline!”

Policies & FAQs

My Policies

Booking Policy

I require 48 hour notice for dog walks and in-home visits, 7 days for daycare, and 14 days for overnight stays. The more notice you provide, the more likely I will be available to accommodate your request. Additional fees may apply for requests made with less notice. Please note that a complimentary meet and greet or phone consultation is required prior to your first service.

Payment Policy

Payment is due before or at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made. Overnight stays and daycare require a deposit to secure the dates/times, with the remainder due at time of service. I accept Zelle, Venmo, cash, and credit card.

Cancellation Policy

In-home visits and dog walks require 48-24 hour notice to receive a full or partial refund. Daycare requires a 5 day notice for a full refund, and more than 48 hours for a partial refund. Overnight stays require a 14 day notice to receive a full refund, and more than 7 days for a partial refund of deposit. If your service is paid ahead and cancelled with sufficient notice, a credit may be applied towards future services.

Health and Vaccination Requirements

All adult pets must be spayed or neutered. All pets must be up-to-date on their Rabies vaccine. I also recommend core vaccines, Distemper and Bordetella. Puppies that are not fully vaccinated will not be taken outdoors, in public spaces, until fully vaccinated and with owner's permission. I also highly encourage all of my dog clients to be on appropriate flea/tick and heartworm prevention to avoid diseases associated with these parasites.

Emergency Procedures

In case of emergency, I will immediately contact you and your designated emergency contact. If veterinary care is needed, I will transport your pet to your preferred vet or the nearest emergency clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during a meet and greet?

The meet and greet is a free 30-minute consultation where I get to know you and your pet, discuss care instructions, and answer any questions you may have. It's also a chance for your pet to become comfortable with me.

How will I receive updates about my pet?

After each visit, you'll receive a detailed update via text or email with photos and notes about how your pet is doing. For overnight stays, you'll receive morning and evening updates. I use a software called Time to Pet to schedule and manage my services, and will introduce it to you during our meet and greet if you choose me to care for your pet!

Client Testimonials

Angela S.

(May 2025)

“Madeline took great care of our 11 year old Aussie! She fed him, kept his water bowl full, walked him, even played puzzle games with him while the weather was too bad to play fetch. She’s communicative, punctual, reliable, and followed instructions with ease. We (and our pup!) definitely recommend Madeline!”

Brenda C R.

(April 2025)

“Madeline is very reliable and I love how she takes care of my shy cats, I highly recommend her and will definitely call her again. Thank you Madeline!”

Nancy D.

(March 2025)

“Madeline was awesome! She took great care of my two dogs while I was in Disney for 3 nights. She stayed overnight. She was prompt on her arrival each evening for the dogs dinner time. She played with the dogs, sat outside with them and watched them run in the yard and she sent updates 3-5 times a day letting me enjoy the fun my pups were having with her. I highly recommend Madeline !!!”

Patti C.

(November 2024)

“Madeline was awesome with my pets! Very attentive, patient, and thoughtful. She shared many photos and videos proactively, without being prompted and kept me properly updated as far as feedings, potty schedules, and their activities. I definitely look forward to working with her again!”

Elin W.

“Madeline was exceptional. She kept me informed about how everything was going and graciously dealt with the "extra" fun that comes with my animals. She'll be on the top of my list for service in the future.”

Jennifer H.

(March 2024)

“We were very happy with Madeline and felt comfortable with her in our home with Ruby. She asked all the right questions and had Ruby's best interest at heart. We appreciated Madeline's promptness in returning messages and her flexibility with Ruby's schedule. We would recommend Madeline for house or pet sitting.”

Bella P.

(September 2023)

“I cannot recommend Madeline enough! She took care of my three cats for a week and was very dependable. She responded to my messages in a timely fashion, was able to give oral medications, and spent the time playing/exercising our younger cats. I look forward to working with Madeline again in the future!”
