Availability

I am a full-time student, so my schedule is very flexible as I am only in classes for about 2-4 hours per day. I am comfortable walking, taking public transportation, or using my car to provide pet services to you. This makes me an ideal sitter because I have a lot of extra time on my hands to spend with your fur babies!

Safety, trust & environment

Every single animal is different and will thrive on a different schedule, routine, or type of interaction. Some animals need high energy and lots of play time. Others just need a gentle pet and some quality time on the couch with them. To reduce as much stress and discomfort for the animal as possible from having their owners away, I will adjust every session with your pet to try to be the most similar setting/environment to how a typical day in your home looks. I have found this to be the most effective way to your pets happy and comfortable in the presence of someone who is new to them.

Dependable Care for Your Pets

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for animals my whole life. Growing up in San Diego, I was an avid equestrian and spent countless hours at the barn training and caring for horses. I’ve also raised my own cat from infancy—she’s now 10 years old and thriving! Through high school, I was the go-to sitter for family friends and neighbors, providing reliable dog walking, cat sitting, and pet care of all kinds. My background gives me experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch. I’m now starting nursing school full-time here in Philadelphia, and pet sitting allows me to combine my love for animals with a flexible schedule. Caring for your pets doesn’t just support me—it also brings me joy and a sense of home in my new city. You can trust me to treat your pets with the same dedication, patience, and affection I’ve shown to mine for years.

Madeline was amazing with Shifu! She sent lots of updates and took care of him as if he was her own, which gave me peace of mind. 10/10 would recommend!

Madeline was the most amazing person I could choose to take care of my puppy. She was super friendly and understandable, I will definitely book her more times. Thank you Madeline!

Madeline is BEYOND AMAZING!!! She sent so many pictures and videos of my pets that were so snuggly with her and so happy. My dog and cats have never loved anyone so much - she is incredible!! The care and communication was a dream and she is so professional! Her updates are so thorough and I never had to worry about a thing with her there. Look no further for any of your pet needs - no one is better!!!

Madeline was incredibly kind and communicative. I got regular updates (with photos!) during her stay with my dog, who looked VERY happy to be in Madeline's company. Madeline took great care to learn Minna's routine before her stay, and took such good care of the house and the dog while she was here. I came home to a very happy dog and tidy house. 100% would recommend!
