Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet lover and pet best friend!
Hi! I'm Madison, a pet sitter and dog walker based in the Mission, San Francisco. I've been around animals my whole life, and cats especially, from the two kitties I adopted with my parents in early high school (Frida & Diego, who live with them back in NY), to all the cats I routinely watch for my friends. Since my freelance schedule has made cat care the easiest fit so far, that's where most of my experience comes from, but I'm just as happy on dog walks and dog sitting, and I'm looking to spend more time with dogs going forward. I'm calm, patient, and attentive. I love getting to know each animal's personality and playing with them once they're comfortable around me. For cats, I keep litter boxes spotless and follow feeding routines exactly. For dogs, I'm comfortable with leash walks and keeping to their regular routine and pace. Either way, I send regular photo updates while you're away. Note: I can walk and sit for dogs, but I'm not able to host dogs overnight in my apartment. I haven't had a chance to adopt my own cat yet (heavily considering it soon!), but I've cat-sat friends' cats in my apartment in SF, and I'm building up more dog experience through consistent walks around the city :)

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Madison came over to walk my dogs at the last minute while I was out of town and unable to orient him in person. He was responsive, timely, and took great care of them. I would definitely recommend his services!
Madison was wonderful with my very energetic kitten! He brought over toys that my kitty loved and upon returning to my apartment, it seems that my cat had a lovely time getting to know Madison.
Madison was an excellent caretaker for my 3 cats. He adapted well when it turned out my 15 y/o cat was at-risk of a health crisis. From the pretty pics, videos full of purrs, and lack of protest actions, it seems they had a better time than usual when I go away for a week. He even brought his own cat toy over for them. Looks like I should get one of those... 🤔
Madison did a great job taking care of our boys and our home was nice and tidy when we got back! He made sure not only their basic needs like food, water, and litter were met but also played with them and provided good engagement!!! They were very happy with their cat sitter :)))
Madison was super communicative and sent great feedback. We would definitely hire Madison again.
Madison was an excellent sitter for my cat Kira. He was super thorough ahead of time - making sure that all details/logistics of the sitting experience were accounted for and that he knew where everything was. He also sent pictures throughout his stay and took it upon himself to ensure that Kira was having a good time (he set up a new window-watching spot next to where he was physically sitting in my apartment so Kira could be closer to him). I highly recommend Madison and would definitely have him watch Kira again!

Safety, trust & environment
Your cat or dog's safety and happiness is my top priority. Before every sitting arrangement, I'll ask all the right questions covering safety concerns, allergies, and any specific needs so you can have complete peace of mind. Whether at your home or mine, I make sure every pet in my care is safe, clean, well fed, and genuinely loved.
A typical day
Pets run the show, it’s all based on the space and attention they need! Whether they want cuddles, playtime, or simply to hangout from a distance, I’ll follow their lead :)
