Great stay, thanks so much — highly recommended. Our 10-year-old poodle mix looked like she loves the big yard and good company. Came home happy, healthy and tired.

Our quirky rescue pup was so well taken care of while we were away! In every update we got it was clear that our dog was feeling more and more comfortable and was left in good hands. We will definitely book again!

We felt Teddy was very well taken care of. He got lots of love, plenty of tennis ball throws, and sweet cuddles from Heather and her daughter. It felt great knowing Teddy was in such good hands while we were away.

They did a great job providing updates and showing that our dog was having a great time. They were responsive and easy to work with, and could tell that they really cared for our dog.

Robert was amazing. I got updates from him regularly with photos of Baby. I didn’t even have to ask. He has the cutest little French bulldog that kept Baby company as well. Will definitely be booking with him again.

Toni was fantastic — Teo had an amazing time with her! She took him to the dog park three times during his 2-night stay, sent plenty of photos and updates, and clearly gave him lots of attention and care. I felt totally comfortable leaving Teo with her and will happily book her again. Highly recommend!

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.

Christina (and family) took care of Bucky (our toy poodle) for two weeks. It was really hard to leave him for that long but it was sooo obvious Bucky had a great time. We hope they'll take him back in the future (if not for two weeks!).

Tessa did an amazing job watching Rena. She gave the best pup-dates complete with pictures and videos so we had peace of mind knowing our gal was doing ok! Tessa took extra care understanding Rena had some anxiety and gave her love, attention, and - most importantly - lots of walks and outdoor time. We can’t thank Tessa enough!

All good things to say. Kristin sent photos of our dog, Izzy regularly. Great home away from home with her kids taking a part in caring for her. Had to make last minute drop off arrangements that were accepted without any issues. I recommend Kristin.
