“Christine was a wonderful sitter! She gave thorough updates of each visit with my cats and took awesome pictures that showed the cats having a fun time, getting exercise, and eating. She clearly enjoys bonding with the cats and goes above and beyond to make sure that your pets and your apartment is/are taken care of. 10 out of 10 highly recommend! Thank you Christine!!”

“Lynne was a great sitter! Very timely, dependable and tolerant of my cat’s “accidents”. Pictures shared and details of the visit. I would feel totally comfortable with her sitting again.”
“Stacey is the best cat sitter I've ever used! I had to leave the country for a month, and she took excellent care of my cat. I received several pictures daily and detailed updates, which reassured me he was in good hands. Even during a building fire alarm, she visited him to ensure his safety.”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a little girl. I grew up in a house who always had some type of animal and learned how to love on them and give them the attention they need. I am currently at home and have a lot of time on my hands. I’m very flexible and cooperative with my schedule and willing to give any animal love and support. I have an invisible fence for my two dogs. One of my dogs has a crate he sleeps in and the other sleeps in whatever bed she wants that night.

I have experience with puppies to seniors who may need extra attention to detail. I work a full time job with work from home flexibility to be present for your fur-children. I enjoy taking long walks, trips to the park and providing cuddles in my after hours. I live in a quiet apartment community fit with lots of green space, public parks and paved trails to make sure your pet gets lots of fresh air and exercise.

About: I have had a dog since I was 6 years old and have been taking care of dogs ever since. I have had a dog of my own for the past 3 years as well so have learned about raising a puppy into a young dog. I have patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals! I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to details, responsible, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s playing with an energetic puppy, reinforcing basic training, going on walks, or providing extra patience and gentle care for senior dogs, I’ll treat your furry family member like my own. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being will always be my top priority! 🐾 I currently only work 3-4 days a week and have frequent off days or days in between where I have ample time to care for pets I have a fenced in backyard and one friendly 3 year old dog. I can easily accommodate any of your pets needs and routines into my schedule.
About: I’ve cared for young all the way to senior pets. Whether they’ve been friend’s or family’s, I love them all. I love both the activity & also the more relaxed moments with fur babies! I work from home, and can be fairly flexible on when I take my midday break (dependent on meetings). I like to start around 7/7:30 & my day wraps up around 3:30/4. I can provide cares anywhere around that schedule on a regular week. Since I have my own cat, I would prefer to care for pets in other’s homes. I am respectful of everyone’s (pet included) space, & take the time necessary to build trust & foster a safe environment.
About: I've taken care for cats for more than 4 years and also have experience with rabbits. Friends and family have relied on me for caring for their cats/rabbits. I work full-time during the day, so I’m available some weeknights and have more flexibility on weekends. I can care for cats in West Madison and surrounding areas. I am very kind and friendly with pets. At the owners home, I will be respectful of their space and will be loving and kind to their pet.
About: I have had all sorts of pets throughout my life and have a deep love for all animals. Unfortunately my dog cannot go for long walks, so I would love to take your dog out for a stroll! I'm able to travel anywhere in the Madison area and can drop by for walks/feeding after 5 and can do overnight stays any day of the week. I have had multiple anxious dogs in my life and I know being with a new person could also cause some anxiety. I will make things as smooth as possible and adjust for your individual pet's needs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 12! I help my neighbors, family, and friends whenever I can. I love all animals :) I have 4 cats of my own! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday 10:30am to 7pm! I have plenty of time in the morning before work for pet care and after work. I'm not able to host pets at my home, but I bring the same level of care and attention directly to yours. I'm happy to follow your routine exactly — feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and all the snuggles your pet needs to feel safe and loved while you're away. I'll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you always know how your fur baby is doing! :)
About: I have grown up on a farm taking care of animals from birth to passing. I have always been a very passionate animal lover and owner. I have previously owned cats, goats, and chickens. And I have taken care of dogs, horses, turtles, and fish so I have a wide variety of knowledge. I live in Madison and work part time as an event coordinator, so my schedule varies from week to week, but generally is pretty flexible. I can do drop in visits, dog walking, and house stays during the week and weekends. I would not be able to host a pet since I live in an apartment, but I am happy to come to the house of the owner. I am able to match the animal’s needs whether that is relaxing on the couch or playing outside.
“Hailey did an amazing job engaging with my shy cats! Communication was very quick and clear; she also left notes on visits on how they were doing. Would highly recommend her services!”
“Sidney was great. She checked in on my cats once a day and made sure they had everything they needed. She also did some light cleaning, sent daily updates and photos, and the cats seemed totally comfortable with her. I came home after my 10 day trip to two happy and healthy cats. I’d definitely book her again.”
About: I'm an animal-loving recent grad from UW-Madison, born and raised in the Midwest. I work 8–4 in behavioral health and spend my free time around animals whenever I can. I have lots of experience with both cats and dogs, they've always been part of my family growing up. I've cared for senior dogs, including giving shots, daily oral medication, and following specific feeding schedules and exercise routines. I also regularly watch high energy large dogs as well as smaller dogs. I always try to mimic each pet's normal routine so they don't feel like they're with someone new, my goal is for them to feel like they're just having a normal day, with maybe a little extra fun! I work in behavioral health care with a schedule of 8–4, and I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to do midday check-ins on your pets if needed! I'm also available to stay for longer periods at your home to provide care. During the week, I can stop by before or after work, and I'm flexible anytime on weekends. Safety and routine come first, whether I'm in my own home or yours. I keep feeding schedules, medications, and habits consistent so pets feel secure. I'm experienced with oral, topical, and syringe medication, chronic conditions like arthritis and hyperthyroidism, and keeping escape prone pets safely inside. I also respect each pet's boundaries, aiming to help them feel as comfortable as they would with their own owner! :)

Ava was wonderful with my two cats over the holiday break! They really loved Ava and enjoyed her visits. She made sure to play with them, keep their box clean and the area around it swept, and took care of and trash that was produced throughout the week. Would definitely have her sit again

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 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.

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 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.
