“Joshua was fantastic from the start! He took such great care of Millie & Hope and provided daily updates. The house was spotless after a week of being gone & the dogs were very happy!! Would certainly recommend Joshua and will definitely use him again in the future!”
“Robert was our first experience here at Rover and he was great to work with. He offer to come to our house earlier to meet with our guys, even though our booking was kinda last minute. Our dogs suffers from separation anxiety and are very vocal, but Robert was very patient with them and won them over. We would definitely recommend him to anybody looking for somebody reliable to watch over their pets and we would love to work with him again!”

“Askley dog sitted at our house for the weekend. She was very responsive to initial inquiry as well as continued communication. She was professional yet very friendly and asked appropriate questions about our dogs . Our dogs are quite a handful but she developed a fast relationship with them. She sent pictures and brief update daily. So glad we found an amazing caregiver thru Rover!”

“Mary followed all my instructions perfectly and left copious notes about her time with the dogs. My dogs can be challenging but she handled them like a pro! My house was just as I left it when I returned.”

About: Hi! I’m Ayomi, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. I’ve had the joy of working with dogs of all ages and personalities from energetic puppies still learning the world to older dogs who move a little slower and need some extra love. I approach pet care the same way I would care for my own patient, present, and with a whole lot of heart. I take the time to learn each dog’s unique needs and routines because I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their people are away. Whether your dog needs long walks, gentle play, quiet companionship, or help with medication or anxiety, I’m here to meet them where they are and give them the attention they deserve. I truly love building trust with both pets and their humans. You can expect regular updates, happy photos, and the reassurance that your pup is in loving, capable hands. Every visit is a chance to create a little joy and comfort for your furry friendcand that’s a responsibility I take seriously and gratefully. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I often work from home in my downtown Madison apartment. I love taking long walks around town or heading to Picnic Point for a quiet hike, so having a pup along for the journey just makes it that much better. I usually walk about a mile or two a day, but I’m happy to adjust based on your furry friend’s energy level and needs. My schedule is flexible, and with at least a week's notice, I can make sure I’m fully available to give your dog the time and attention they deserve. I’ve always loved traveling, so pet sitting is a fun and fulfilling way for me to enjoy the company of dogs while I’m still settling down. Whether it’s a weekend stay or daily walks, I’m excited to share my time! Creating a safe and comforting environment is my top priority, whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours. I treat every dog like family—with patience, attentiveness, and a whole lot of love. In my downtown apartment, pets are kept in a clean, calm space free of hazards, with plenty of room to stretch, nap, or play. I don’t have any other pets, so your dog will get my full attention and care without distractions. When I’m in your home, I’m always respectful of your space and routines, making sure your dog stays comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I follow all care instructions closely and provide regular updates so you know exactly how your pup is doing. I believe trust is built through consistency, communication, and genuine care and that’s what I bring to every visit. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just keeping your pup company, I’m committed to making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and right at home.
“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Elizabeth. She was so diligent about following Gus's routine, so great about keeping us updated on how things were going, and above all SO kind and understanding of our pups needs as a spicy/reactive dog. She left me completely at ease and able to relax on our trip. I am so glad we've found her and that our baby has someone he will not just be comfortable with, but excited to spend time with while we are gone!”

“Our home & animals were well cared for and the place was left in better shape than we left it. Daily pics and happy animals. We’re sad Kaitlyn isn’t staying in the area for long because we’d definitely book her again.”

“Cassie was wonderful! We had no worries, as we were gone for 11 days. She stayed at our home, so it didn’t stress out our dog, Zoe. Cassie was very proactive with asking detailed questions about her and just genuinely concerned about all her needs. She even suggested coming over for some visits prior to our vacation, so Zoe could get use to her. Highly recommend!!?”
“12 out of 10. Jessa truly saved me with a last minute request after I had a few rover sitters canceled on me. She came and met my dogs and also was gracious enough to keep an eye on my garden. I will absolutely be using her in the future.”


“Nate took my last minute request and I couldn’t have been happier. He was on time ( early even ) and took my Darcey to the park while I was away and took pictures and updated me. I really appreciated his time and will be using him in the future. Highly recommend if you need someone who handles behavior issues well. My Darcey isn’t the nicest when first meeting a stranger but this didn’t seem to bother Nate. Thank you again so much !!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brenda was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was great from start to finish, and she sent us pictures of our pups while we were away, which we really appreciated since we missed them so much. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were happy and in good hands. Honestly, they weren’t even overly excited to see us when we got home — which tells me they were very well cared for and totally comfortable with Brenda! Our dogs are pretty rambunctious and full of energy, so I know she had her hands full, and we’re so grateful for the patience and care she showed them. We would 100% book with Brenda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter!”

“Samuel was fantastic! Our two dogs and cat were well cared for, and the house was spotless — he even washed the sheets and towels. Highly recommend and will book again.”

“Travis did a great job with our two dogs and cat! He was very attentive and caring to our animals, which we greatly appreciated. He sent us pictures and kept in touch with us daily too, which we asked for and loved. He was also very responsible at our home and left it in the same condition in which he found it. Highly recommend and will hire him again.”


“I booked Jen to sit my senior dog who is very sweet but particular, and she did a fantastic job. Super clearly asking about his needs and his schedule so I could go on a family trip with no worries about my boy. Super timely and clear updates with fantastic pictures that made me feel immediately comforted. I’m looking forward to booking with Jen again when Peanut needs some extra care.”

About: Dogs bring so much joy to my life, and I love giving that right back to them. I’m new to Madison and working as pharmacy resident so don’t have time for my own pup but have so much love to share! I work full-time as a pharmacy resident during the day, so I’m available for evening walks after 5 PM on weekdays. I have full availability on weekends. Safety is always my top priority on walks. I stay attentive, use secure handling, and tailor each walk to the dog’s pace and comfort level.
“Renee was wonderful with our 2 puppies. One even had an accident and she called us to find out what she should do. We have a shampooer. She asked how to use it and actually shampooed their floor for us. She treated our puppies so good. Playing outside and walking. I would hire her again.”

“Tatyana did a great job with our three dogs who range in size from a 90 lb German shepherd down to a 25 lb mutt. She sent pictures and videos, and with it being the first time she watched our dogs, it made me feel 100x more comfortable. We also had one dog who needed to take medication that she ensured was administered.”

Kirsten was AWESOME! She did a fantastic job! Our Maizey loved her and was so comfortable with her. Plus she was very communicative so we felt we could talk to her at any time. She was also great about sending us info every day, sometimes multiple times/day, as well as great photos and videos. I would highly recommend her!

Alicia stayed with our dog Hazel for a long weekend and we will definitely book her again! Hazel sometimes struggles to warm up to new people but she loved Alicia immediately during our meet & greet. Alicia asked lots of good questions to make sure she was prepared to care for Hazel, and she sent us photos every day.

Sabrina is amazing! Contacted her on pretty short notice (ahead of a holiday weekend nonetheless!) and she was quick to respond and be available. Additionally, she came for a meet and greet and hung out long enough to really get to know Eddie. She was so so flexible, kind and caring and left my place looking perfect.

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog watcher! Jess was extremely responsive and communicative from the start, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I came home, not only were my dogs happy and well cared for, but my house was also clean and tidy—such a thoughtful touch. What really stood out was how much effort she put into getting to know my dogs. It was clear she genuinely cared about their personalities, routines, and comfort. She truly went above and beyond in every way. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, attentive pet care.
