Pet care experience
Trusted Care When U Can’t Be There!
Hey, I’m Madison, a reliable and affectionate dog lover based in Barrington! 🐾 I’ve raised two Golden Retrievers and a French Bulldog, and I also have experience caring for abused and rescue animals. That background has given me patience, compassion, and the ability to handle pets with all kinds of needs, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I enjoy exploring and would love to give your pet the care & companionship they deserve while providing you with peace of mind. Your pet will always be treated like family in my care. ❤️
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. While I don’t provide leashes, I always carry poop bags and will follow your instructions to keep your pet’s routine consistent. If it’s time for a walk, we’ll go, whether that means a quick potty break, a long scenic route, or a trip to the dog park to burn off extra energy. I’m careful to make sure any dogs we encounter are friendly before entering off-leash settings, and if your pet has special needs, I’ll happily adjust our routes or keep to quieter areas. My goal is to make every outing safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for your pet while giving you peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
Madison took great care of coco. She was very communicative and will definitely be asking her to help again in the future. Super tidy around the house as well.
Madison is absolutely amazing with my dog, Coco! She’s been so loving, attentive, and reliable every single time. Coco (my King Charles Cavalier) absolutely adores her — I can tell because he gets so excited every time she arrives! Madison sends thoughtful updates and the cutest pictures, which gives me total peace of mind knowing Coco is being cared for like family. She’s great at following routines, takes him on long walks, and always makes sure he gets plenty of playtime and cuddles. It’s clear that she truly loves what she does and treats every pet like her own. I highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional sitter — she’s the best!
Madison is fantastic with our huge puppy! Will definitely use her services again
Madison took great care of our dog and our house while she stayed over the weekend. We loved the updates she sent and could tell she was very thoughtful while watching our home.
I can’t recommend Madison enough! I had to leave town unexpectedly for an assignment, and she stepped in to walk my corgi, Arthur. Arthur is an absolute charmer, but also a handful, and Madison handled him like a pro. She’s responsible, communicative, and genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with dogs. Coming home knowing Arthur was in such good hands made my trip way less stressful. Thank you, Madison!
I wholeheartedly recommend Madison as a pet caregiver. She is incredibly responsible, patient, and genuinely loves all animals. I’ve seen how attentive she is to pets’ needs—whether it’s making sure they’re well-fed, exercised, or comforted with plenty of affection. Madison is wonderful with my dog Dakota—she’s caring, responsible, and she absolutely adores spending time with her. She has a natural ability to make animals feel safe and cared for, and she treats every pet as if they were her own. Anyone who trusts Madison with their furry family member can have complete peace of mind knowing their pet is in caring and capable hands.

Schedule
As a full-time Master’s student at DePaul, I take night classes Monday through Wednesday from 5:45–9:00 pm. That means I’m free during the day—prime hours for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. Thursdays through Sundays, I have even more flexibility, so I can easily work around you and your pet’s needs and routine.
