“Jennifer is great with Lily. She was able to fit Lily into her schedule on a short notice. I love the pictures she sends me and the feedback. I will definitely use her in the future.”
About: I love all types of dog breeds and work with all different kind of dogs! I’ve done dog sitting and dog boarding for the past 5 years in Madison ! I love getting to know each dog. I mostly have availability for pet sitting and check ins right now, I have a trusted client base in the area and would love to get to know your animals!! I love going for walks ! Why not take a cute dog to get some energy out ! I feel every dog deserves a daily walk! Theres a huge local dog dog park! I like bringing toys and balls to play! When I’m pet sitting I like to make sure they go out every 3-4 hours
“Samantha was wonderful! She was super communicative while doing her drop-ins and sent so many photos! My dogs seemed to love her and it made me smile to see how well they took to her. As an anxious fur mom, knowing they were in good hands was priceless. 🤍 I highly recommend her to anyone looking for car for their fur babies.”
“Rachael took a ton of amazing pictures of my 3 cats while I was away, and I really appreciated that! It made me feel good to see that they were all doing well. All 3 of my cats seemed to like her too which is awesome!”
“Allison was so incredibly helpful with this stay. Our plans shifted several times, but she was very patient with us throughout the changes. She took great care of our pups and left detailed notes for each visit”
“Sabrina was wonderful with my little kitten, Basil! Having never had a sitter watch her before, I wasn’t sure how she would do with strangers and it turn out she’s a little shy. Sabrina was so patient with her and did such a good job of making Basil feel as comfortable as she could. I was really impressed with the detailed updates Sabrina gave while I was away as well. Would highly recommended her services!”
“Carly took care of Chester for 1 week as drop-in sitter. My cat looks healthy and handsome as ever. I arrive with a chatty cat greeting me and I get it. I will book Carly again in the future because she not only took care of my cat’s needs (spoiled-prince) but she also respected my place and she is trustworthy and professional.”
“Katelyn took great care of my cat and made sure she got lots of playtime and attention. She was also able to be flexible when our travel plans changed last minute.”
About: I worked 8 years, almost 9, and The Dog Hut LLC. I've helped care for dogs as young as 2 months and dogs well into their senior years. I'm happy to give medication to any dogs that need it and make sure they get extra cuddles and someone to "talk to". I am also very open to more than just dogs. I worked for 4 years at the Dane County Humane Society caring for Guinee Pigs, rats, and a non venomous snake. I am currently between jobs so any day works well for me. I'm happy to come late morning and well into the night to feed, water, and play with your pets who need that. Or just lend a happy presence, for the cats and cat-like pets who just need a simple hello. At my home I do not have a fully fenced in yard but am within walking distance of a few paths so even if your dog will be on leash they will get a wonderful walk in. Bringing their own toys and comfort items will be needed as I only have a cat currently. Also your dog must be cat friendly or will need to have a kennel brought with them should they be staying. I am okay staying over at my client's place should the need arise, can give medication and will give them all the playtime and snuggle breaks they need. I will be wary of weather changes so I can give them quick breaks outside and make sure they still can get energy out should it be an inside kind of day.
“Stephanie checked on our dogs while we were away for a long day. She left a great recap of their time together and shared a few pics. Communicative and exactly what we needed when we were away the whole day!”
“Kara was fantastic. She cared for our four year old cat, Molasses, for a week while we were away. During that time she was always easy to get ahold of and would respond quickly to any questions. She also sent us multiple pictures after each visit. Kara took the time to get to know our cat. During her first visits, she would wait for our cat to approach her, allowing Molasses to become comfortable around her. By the end of the week Molasses was asking for pets, rambunctiously playing, and talking to Kara like she was a member of the family. I can’t recommend Kara enough. We plan to book with Kara again soon.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Cottage Grove
Amanda was great to work with and took excellent care of our two cats. One of our cats is diabetic, and she had no issues administering his insulin. Our other cat is very shy, but by the end of Amanda's visits, she had even come out to see her. We will definitely trust Amanda with our cats again in the future.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Cottage Grove on Rover is $14.69 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
