“Rachael took great care of my 3 cats!! Provided pictures for each visits and did what was needed. She was amazing for accommodating last minute schedule changes. Would highly recommend booking with Rachael again!”
“Quinn was kind, communicative, and reliable with Tetra’s check-ins. Tetra requires oral heart medication, and unfortunately when we returned home, I found two pills that she had spit out. Tetra can be tricky with medication, but confirming that she swallowed each pill is especially important for her care. I shared this feedback with Quinn afterward, and she was very receptive and appreciative that I let her know.”
“Miah did a great job taking care of our senior kitty, Miss Sophie. She was prompt, reliable, detail oriented, and readily asked questions which I appreciate. She took care of extras like getting our mail and washing up Sophie’s dishes. She spent time getting to know Sophie and Sophie sensed that she was a cat lover. Thank you Miah!”
“Savannah is caring and compassionate, I have a peace of mind knowing Indie Rae dog is in good hands while I am working. She takes the best photos and I love that she takes Indie out for walks. My worry dissipates, knowing my dog is being cared for while I’m away. I am so grateful for Jorden and Savannah and happy to have met them!”
“Sara has been an absolutely incredible dog nanny, and I can’t recommend her highly enough! She is an amazing communicator—always keeping me in the loop with thoughtful updates, detailed report cards, and the most fantastic pictures of my pups that truly brighten my day. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs. She takes them on multiple walks each day, makes sure they’re comfortable and well cared for, and really takes the time to understand their personalities and needs. Sara consistently goes the extra mile, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing my dogs are in her care. If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly wonderful with animals, Sara is the best of the best!”
About: Pets bring us all kinds of joy and unconditional love. It's hard to relax on vacation or focus on an event with a piece of you missing . Be able to be present and ease your mind knowing another caring soul will show your pet the same love and attention they enjoy. I have 10 years of experience with all different breeds and sizes. I work remotely. My office is where the WIFI is the strongest. I have time to spend with animals. My children are grown leaving me with an abundance of free time Soft voices and lots of love and attention. Dogs I like to run and make sure that they have the exercise they need. Plenty of tug of war! Social cats I give lap time and bring a feather.
“Laura did a wonderful job of caring for our kitty while we were away and provided some bonus help for us like getting the mail and watering our flower pots! We appreciate her help so much!”
“Peyton was great to work with. She was personable, prompt, and took good care of our attention-needing cat while we were away. We will definitely engage Peyton in the future.”
About: I am a CVT with several years experience with dogs, cats, and horses of all ages, I especially love the senior pets! I am trained in medications, wound care, and palliative care. I currently work during the day with most evenings free. I would ideally come straight from work to see and spend time with your pet! I'd prefer to get to know your animals routine and what they are comfortable with. I can easily adapt to fit their needs for the visit.
“Jordan took great care of our cats while we were away! She was super dependable and I didn’t have to worry about them at all. She must be a cat whisperer to get our shy cat to come out and play!”
About: I have over 30 years experience training dogs. I am able to dog sit from my home full time. I recently moved to a large property in the country, that is a short 35 minute drive from Madisons west side. I have a acer that is completely fenced in and I am more than happy to offer pick up and drop off to the west side of Madison. I'm professional trained as a dog groomer, worked professionally for over 6 years as a groomer, dog trainer and doggie daycare provider. I have also worked as a vet assistant for 2 years in Denver Colorado. I am certified in humane and dog CPR and I graduated with an EMS degree for humans, this training helps me respond to variety of situations with confidence. I was a volunteer at two different Humane Society's for over 12 years. I have fostered, rehabilitated and Rehoused 15 dogs most with serious behavioral issues. I am an avid dog lover and enjoy spending time with my dogs and other people's dogs. I can stay home full time now. I also have a full acer that is fenced and I have walking trails in the country and I still frequently go to the dog park and I am never gone more than 1-2 hours. Rover is away for me to stay home with my dogs and hopefully your dogs. My dogs LOVE having dog friends visit our pack and home.-I am a firm believer in the saying "A tired dog is a good dog".- I have been dog sitting full time for the past year and I enjoy being home all day long. I recently moved and have an acer of fenced land and I am happy to offer pick up and drop off of your pet or we can meet closer to your house. I am only about 30 mins south of Madison. I have a huge fenced yard with extra gates and separate fenced areas to do introductions safely. Dogs are NEVER left unsupervised outside. Your dog’s safety and mine dogs safety is my top priority!
“Madalyn did a spectacular job watching my three cats for 5 days. She was super great with communicating any issues like my cat feeder that ran out of batteries and stopped working, went above and beyond to help get that fixed, and made sure to keep me updated the whole time. She was extremely polite and respectful of my home and my cats, and I felt very reassured during my vacation knowing she was there to care for them. I will absolutely be booking with Madalyn again in the future!”
“Alliyah watched our 15 y/o dog for 12 days while we were on spring break. She was easy to schedule with and communicative. Georgie seemed to really enjoy her visits and we recommend her!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats. I also did dog obedience and agility in 4-h. I love getting out to go for walks. I enjoy my time outdoors. I am open to any day of the week at any time. I often get my dog out three times a day for a walk. Depending on the day with my husband schedule, I would need to work around that. I have one dog that is very friendly and high energy at times. She likes to play a little rough and loves making new friends. I get her out 3-4 times a day. Rather that is for an hour long walk or even just going to the bathroom.
“Sidney is very understanding and patient with our nervous and reactive pup. Halla isn’t the easiest dog, he needs a sitter who will give him time, space and lots of treats but also he needs strict boundaries and discipline. We are so happy to have found Sidney!”
About: I’ve always grown up around animals, mostly rescues of all kind! I have experience in various ages of animals as well. Neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and much more for their pets for years. I would love to help you and your fury friend out! Pet care fits naturally into my life! I work full time, and about 40% of the month I have the flexibility to work from anywhere — meaning I can be present and attentive when it matters most. I love using my time before and after work to care for animals — it’s something I genuinely look forward to. For me, it’s not just a service, it’s a chance to connect with each pet. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always their comfort, safety, and happiness. At my home in Spring Green, we offer plenty of space for animals to roam and explore — we live on over an acre with a portion of our yard fenced in and a screened-in porch, so pets have secure, fresh-air access no matter the weather. The space and security truly make the opportunities for pets endless! When visiting a client’s home, I follow your pet’s existing routine closely, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment with minimal disruption.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
