I work full time in the area, but Rover because of my love for supporting animals and their families! I’m able to support both sits and drop ins, with drop ins outside of 8-5 during the week (with some flexibility over lunch hours), and sits through the week so long as your animal is capable of being alone up to 5 hours. Friday evening through Sunday I am available to provide constant care for your pet!

Safety, trust & environment

Respect for your property is of utmost importance when caring for your animals. I will leave your place in a better condition as when I arrived, and have references that will attest to this. I am fine with property surveillance inside and outside as long as cameras are disclosed.

Information Madison R. would like to know about your pet

I prefer to know a dog’s energy level, training level, size, and any quirks/habits/etc that are pertinent to my care. I also appreciate any schedule your anima follows to keep my visit as stress-free for them as possible!

A typical day

I love to adapt to animal’s needs! Have a puppy that needs mental stimulation? We can play games! A senior that prefers to amble along? Some of my favorites. I’ll work with any cat on their own pace to make them comfortable with me - I have extensive experience working with timid cats.

Pet care experience

1/28/2026: I took a hiatus from pet sitting 2024-2026, but am excited to continue offering my services in the Columbia, SC area! I’m a local professional who is happy to work with you to meet your pets needs! I love animals, and strive to bring your beloved pets (and you!) the best experience I can while you’re away. My experience with different species is as follows: Cats: I’ve owned and fostered cats from a young age, and am largely comfortable handling most services for them. I have experience with socializing semi-feral cats, providing medication (no vaccinations, IVs, etc. please), even basic trick training! It’s my pleasure to make sure your cat is attended to, and will go above and beyond to meet your cats needs. My rescue, Doodle, is my pride and joy and I aim to provide the same level of care I hope someone would for them. Dogs: I have experience with all types of breeds, from Chihuahuas to Pitt Bulls to Pointers. I have several clients that are in the process of puppy training and manners training and can accommodate this during stays. I love every minute of my time with dogs and treat each client as if they were my own! Farm Animals: I’ve ridden and helped provide care for horses from the age of 4. I’m comfortable feeding, mucking, watering, helping with turn-in and out, etc. I have previous experience as a working student. Experience caring for pig, goats, cows, ducks, ducklings, chicks, and chickens. Able to provide care for other species as well, with instruction. Reptiles: I’ve personally owned and cared for a bearded dragon, and assisted in the care for axolotls, geckos, and small snakes. I am unable to feed live mice. Have an animal I haven’t listed yet? I’m still available! With experience from cats to turtles to fish to horses, I’m confident I’ll be able to meet your needs. It would be my pleasure to walk, visit, and care for your furry/scaly/best friend.

Madison was fantastic. She took amazing care of my dog and had great communication. I would 100% have her watch Bentley again in the future.

Madison was great with our dogs! She was very responsive throughout the process and took care of our dogs as if they were her own. The house was left just as we left it and our dogs were in great spirits when we got home. Definitely recommend Madison and will again in the future!
