About: Hi, I’m Madison! Caring for animals isn’t just my job—it’s my lifelong passion. I bring over a decade of experience working with a diverse range of animals, from beloved household pets to exotic and specialized creatures. My background includes caring for studio-trained animals for TV and movies—you’ve probably seen many of my clients on screen! I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, fish, emus, turkeys, chickens, ducks, snakes, reptiles, amphibians, goats, and even wolves. I’ve cared for entire ranches with multiple species, exotic birds like parrots and birds of prey, pigs, and senior animals at the end of their lives. I also have experience with special needs pets requiring physical therapy, customized care, and gentle handling. In addition to my hands-on expertise, I am a certified Reiki practitioner and, upon request, incorporate energy work into my care to help animals feel calm and balanced. I’ve also stepped in during emergencies to provide reliable, compassionate care when it’s needed most. Whether you’re looking for someone to care for your furry companion, manage a variety of animals on a ranch, or handle special needs or senior pets, I bring knowledge, trustworthiness, and genuine love to every situation. Let’s connect—I’d be honored to care for your animals as if they were my own. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine because I’ve been house sitting as my primary job for several years. As a nanny for studio animal trainer clients, I started caring for their animals while they were on set, and this naturally evolved into house sitting when they traveled. My personal work allows me to work from home, so I can adapt my schedule to meet your pet’s needs without disrupting their routine. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or specialized care, I ensure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and well-cared for at all times. I care for pets as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, and a sense of security in their familiar environment. In my client’s home, I step into the role of a surrogate parent, ensuring their routines remain consistent and their unique needs are met. From feeding and playtime to administering special care or handling, I prioritize their comfort and well-being. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.


12. Monica W.

“Monica stayed at our home with our fur babies (2 dogs and 3 cats) for a few days over the 4th of July this year and she was amazing. She send us lots of updates, photos and videos throughout her stay, and made sure we knew they were all doing well. We were so nervous about leaving our babies over the holiday with all the fireworks, but she handled their medication and let them snuggle with her and ensured they were safe. So grateful for her and will definitely use her again!”

17. Sierra W.

“Sierra took care of our cats (2) and dogs (3) for us for 4 nights when we both had to be out of town. For one of my dogs it was our first time leaving her with anyone so i was nervous. I shouldn't have been. They all absolutely LOVED her and were so happy and calm when i got home. She sent me photos and updates everyday and even noticed little things about them (like the fact one of my dogs has a small injury that is healing) and would text to ask. The house was left spotless. We will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!!”

“What a blessing Chloe was/is for our family. We have never left our pups with anyone other than family. I was definitely more anxious than the dogs. Chloe stayed at our home for two days and nights and my anxiety went away. She communicated with us, took care of our babies (dogs), and our home. She is now part of the family and we will be having her back again. Thank you Chloe for everything.”
