“Paige S. was an excellent babysitter for my Babycat. My Babycat is all that I have in this world and I would trust Paige S. with my Babycat anytime. After communicating and speaking to Paige on the phone, I realized that Paige was a true animal lover like myself. It was then I booked with her to board my Babycat while I had to go to the hospital for 2 nights. During my stay at the hospital, Paige answered text and even sent pictures of my Babycat to reassure me. She also helped load and unload Babycat in her carrier, as I am dealing with a handicap.This is how Paige takes excellent care of animals and their humans ! Thank you to Rover for having respectable, professional and loving caregivers like Paige S.! Thank you very much to Paige S. for all your care and extra help with my Babycat! Raul "Dan" Ornelas”

“I have had Alissa watch my dog twice and would definitely use her again! My dog is shy with new people and he took to her right away. Great review from my dog too!! I feel my dog is well cared for and loved. Alissa responds quickly with booking and any questions or concerns.”

“Bethany was amazing! She watched my little Archie for a long weekend and made our getaway more enjoyable by not having to worry about our fur baby! Will definitely be using her again!”

“Paula was great! Our pup is sweet, but a lot to handle at times, and Paula took it in stride. Paula is great with communication and even sends some pictures while you’re away. Would definitely use her again!”

“Stephanie was great! She was easy to work with, took fantastic care of our pup. Our girl wasn't sure she wanted to leave. She sent lots of pictures and provided a fun and active environment. Would highly recommend!”

“Edith was amazing, as always. She provided frequent updates and photos of Henry throughout our 10-day holiday, which we truly appreciated. We always feel completely at ease knowing Henry is in such good hands with Edith—she takes wonderful care of him and clearly makes sure he’s happy and having a great time. Because of her, we’re able to fully relax and enjoy our trip without a single worry.”

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.
“We had a great experience with Erik. We felt very comfortable leaving our first time foster dog with Erik's family. They met with us before to see if it was a good fit. He was very gracious in dealing with our situation. We would recommend Erik and would book with him again.”
“Korie was amazing with Ollie! She was great to communicate with and gave Ollie so many snuggles while he was there. She also sent pics and updates throughout the stay which I really appreciate. Highly recommend!!”


“Highly recommend boarding with Jamie!! This was our first time boarding our dogs. Jamie made the whole process very simple and stress free. She sent videos and updated us throughout Chester and Ginger’s stay. We will be using Jamie for boarding again in the future!”

“Fabulous! Mack gave her 4 paws up and he would have given her more but he only has 4 paws. He has been online trying one to buy me more airline trips so he can go back to Steph and live the good life. Can’t praise her enough. Deb Spencley”

“Very attentive and communicative with pictures and updates. Toffee (golden) got along with their puppy Zeus and was super cute all the interactions I got to see via photos. 10/10 would book again to watch the baby boy.”

“Toni is a very experienced and caring dog sitter. She communicated great and handled several challenging issues that came up with grace and excellent problem solving. I would recommend her without hesitation!”
