Madalé

Hello!

My name is Madalé, I'm currently completing two MA degrees at Leiden University and working part-time as an academic writing coach. Aside from this, I have a HUGE passion for animals - of all sizes! Growing up, we have always had pets in the house (all kinds of dogs, birds, hamsters etc.) and so I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. I'm therefore experienced in caring for all kinds of pets with different needs and feel comfortable with animals that have varying levels of attention and care - whether that be a highly energetic character, a very needy and cuddly personality, a skittish and easily spooked pet, or aloof and simply in need of a check in.

I have two young brothers at home, Ebi and Tumi, and as such I myself am an experienced cat owner that knows how to give love to, play with, and (importantly!) clean up after our furry companions. In short, I know how to meet their needs :) I am, also, the proud owner of a leopard gecko (Cosmo) and so have knowledge and experience with reptile care and feel comfortable handling and feeding reptiles.

My pet sitting services always include coming to your house to care for your pawed or clawed friends. My philosophy is good communication with pet owners to establish what the routines and norm is for your animals so that my presence feels comfortable and seamless for them and for you!

Ideally, I would get as much information as possible about the needs of your pet (e.g. feeding times/ quanitity/ food types, walking times and general route, and personality) so that I can provide for them the best (and most fun) care possible! Overall, my timetable is relatively flexiable as I'm a part-time worker and a student.
