“Jordan went above and beyond for our dog Murphy. She watched after him like her own when he got sick and always kept us updated. She sent photos and always made sure he was okay. She was also very flexible and willing to help when we needed adjustments in his schedule due to his illness. I would recommend Jordan to anyone and everyone.”
“James was wonderful with our senior kitty Mocha! He showed so much care for her when he met her, and he took care of her special routine needs. He was incredibly timely even on a big holiday. We felt so at ease and we will certainly book again! :)”
“Nikki took wonderful care of my cat. My cat tends to hide from strangers and she made sure to find her and send a photo. She even tried to win over my cat with some treats! Fantastic pet sitter!!”
“Fanny is a gem!!! My kitty, Leo, absolutely loves her and it’s amazing to be able to travel and know he’s in good hands—and to get adorable updates along the way. :) Thank you again, Fanny!”
“Robert was wonderful with our pups!! He understands the importance of having someone reliable taking care of your family members while you are away. We will most definitely be using him again.”
“This was my first booking through Rover, and my first time using a dog walker, and I can't imagine a better experience. Justin was incredible and went above and beyond during the six days he took care of our dogs. I was a bit nervous about having someone I didn't know in our house while we were gone. He came for a meet and greet shortly after I requested the booking and I knew he was going to be great when our barker did not bark at him. He sent me updates each day and even came out again one evening when my husband wasn't going to get home in time. Overall, Justin was a lifesaver. 11/10, would recommend. We will definitely use him again.”
“Annalise did a great job taking care of my cat Gus! She was consistent in the time she came to feed him and even added an extra visit when our travel plans changed!”
About: I have had dogs since my childhood and have worked with breeds of different sizes and backgrounds, including some with special needs. In my home life, I have two cats that I adore and spend much of my free time with. I’m available all day on weekends, as well as from 5:30pm onward on weekdays (typically). If you have specific requirements for your animal let me know and we can create a schedule that works best for you! I can perform any specific needs that your pet may need. One of my own pets has special medical requirements, so I am familiar with taking care of animals that need extra care.
About: I love dogs! I grew up with dogs, as well as have a wide range of experience with caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with disabilities. My apartment at this moment does not allow for dogs, so I really am looking for some dogs to give some tender loving care to in the meantime! I am a teacher, so I am free afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends! I am a teacher- so afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends work for me! During the summer, I have a lot more flexibility as well. I am currently offering drop-in visits, as well as dog walking! I am looking for dogs to love on, as I can not have my own in my current apartment.
About: I'm an animal lover who has years of experience with dogs, cats, and rabbits! I educate myself on animal behavior and find that it really helps me be able to meet their needs. Not afraid to administer medication or go the extra mile for whatever a loved pet needs. I'm available Monday-Friday during business hours, 9-4:30pm. I'm very flexible and weekends are also available upon request, especially if it's a long duration of sitting needed. I'm completely ready to adhere to any standards that clients have in their home. I am very communicative and will reach out if instructions need clarification.
“Couldn't have been more pleased with my experience. Louisa was friendly, prompt and communicative. My pups were well taken care of and I was stress-free. I'd absolutely use Louisa again for future trips.”
“Allegra was absolutely wonderful with our two senior dogs! She gave them the extra care and attention they needed, and her beautifully written, detailed report cards gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after — we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I’ve always loved animals, and love sitting for them. I’ve walked and taken care of dogs from puppy to senior age. I love getting to know dogs and giving them the best care! I work at a coffee shop in Madison, but I am able to walk dogs before 7 am and after 3 pm. I’m very active, so I’ll make sure your pup gets good exercise! I am good at bribing hesitant dogs to go into a kennel if needed. I’m very detail oriented, so before I leave, I’ll make sure every door is locked, every food and water is filled up, and everyone is safe
“Katlin saved us very last minute when our booked house-sitting person went MIA and couldn’t be reached for more than 12 hours overnight. She responded very quickly and agreed to drop in on the babies while we work on finding a houses sitting replacement.”
“Courtney went above and beyond for my beloved dog. She gave me updates and connected well with us. I will definitely use her again. I'm so glad we've been able to establish this relationship!”
About: I grew up on a farm here in Dane County and have experience looking after many species: large animal, small animal, fish, reptiles, birds, and of course cats and dogs! I have officially been petsitting since 2018 but have watched the pets of friends and family much longer than that. I received my degree in Animal and Veterinary Biosciences from UW Madison in 2023 with an emphasis in nutrition, and I worked at a pet food store for 6 years previous to that, so I am happy to accommodate any special feeding requests. I own two large protection breed dogs myself, but have also owned and petsat small breed dogs, so I have no size or breed exception. I am happy to work with reactive dogs as long as you help me to have a thorough understanding of what scares/upsets them. Please reach out to me if you have any questions! I am happy to do overnights, stay long term, or do just quick drop ins. I currently am working 8:30-5 M-F so I am typically unavailable during those hours. I am happy to do overnights, long term stays, drop in visits, or walks I make sure to go over all of the owners requests and requirements and to follow all rules. I am clean and tidy and will leave your house as I found it.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fitchburg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fitchburg choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Fitchburg with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
