About: My connection with animals involves compassion, patience and communication. I have experience taking dogs for walks and home sitting with pets for an extended period. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care part-time. I’m generally most available on weekends, with additional availability throughout the week. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions and respect the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks and any other needs they might have.
“Victoria watched our older cat, Lucky, while we were on vacation. She was highly communicative, very caring, and sent great photos of a cat that’s pretty shy. I’d highly recommend her. We came home to a very happy kitty!”
“Harper took very good care of our little puppy. I loved that we would get lots of pictures after each visit. Our dog seamed to love her and be playful with her. Would definitely hire her again when needed!”
“Our dog Holly just loved seeing Margo … she was reliable and so kind to play with her and make sure she got to go potty mid day while my wife and I worked. We will definitely be calling on Margo again to help us out. You won’t find a nicer person to work with. Thanks Margo you deserve this 5 star review.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have my own two cats currently. My childhood dog had epilepsy and was on medicine multiple times a day and I was his caretaker to help my family with their work schedules. I give my kitties love first try big in the morning but before I leave I feed them and scoop the box. I make sure to play with them before bed so they have activity and get their energy out. I let my cats free roam while I’m away for the day but I grew up with a crate trained dog. I’ve pet sat for friends before who have restrictions where their pet goes and I’ve been able to follow their directions.
“Saige was absolutely fantastic! Super responsive and professional, and clearly a pet lover! I was in a pinch and contacted her on short notice and she was able to accommodate. Our Zoey pup loved her! Highly recommend!”
“Lauren accommodated a last minute booking for us! We have two cats, one of which can be a bit particular and both need to take pills which Lauren made sure they got. I had also found a kitten right before our last minute trip and Lauren also kept her quarantined and make sure she got her medicine as well. Thanks so much for taking great care of everyone!”
“Crystal is avgo-to cat sitter for my 2 sweet cats. She most recently cared for them during my 10-day vacation. I felt great knowing that she was visiting and spending time with them, following a routine, and checking all the details to make sure they had what they needed. Thank you so much, Crystal!”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals! I have experience fostering dogs, including helping them adjust to new environments, learn basic commands like sit and paw, and build confidence through positive reinforcement. I love going on walks, playing, cuddling, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I’m happy to adapt to their routines, whether that means keeping up with an energetic puppy or providing extra patience and gentle care for a senior pet. As a nurse, I’m also responsible, attentive to detail, and comfortable staying calm in unexpected situations. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure you have peace of mind while you’re away! I make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I follow all feeding instructions, provide fresh water, keep their space clean, and make time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention.
“Cailie did a great job, (again!) of taking care of our three cats . We have used her every summer for our vacation and she is completely reliable and such a sweet girl. Highly recommend:)!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends for as long as I can remember. I love going on walks and seeing new parts of the city and would love to have a companion on my adventures.

I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood and own a crate if needed for their comfort. I foster dogs so I have raised food and water dishes, a bed, and other essentials to make their stay comfortable.

I work from home and I'm able to give your dog my full attention. I work from home, so I am able to give give full attention to your pet as needed! My weekends are pretty quiet, But I do sometimes go out to play shows on the weekends. I'm fully capable of taking the dog out, feeding, walking, and other tasks as instructed.

About: Hi, I’m Breanna thanks for taking the time to view my page! I have started an Instagram for photos of pet bookings if interested: breannaspetbookings. “If you can be anything, be inclusive” LGBTQ+ 🌈 friendly. I volunteer at local animal shelters/hospitals in my spare time. I have also volunteered at Wolf Creek Habitat multiple times. In the process of becoming a volunteer for the humane society of the United States. I am a college graduate from the University of Cincinnati with a bachelors of Science in Biology. I did undergrad research with spiders. Then went on to do research at UC with mice. Animals have always been apart of my life. I’ve cared for small animals like hamsters, rabbits, snakes, lizards, and fish as well as dogs and cats. At my home currently I have an 11 year old son, 3 Shiba Inu’s, and 1 Japanese Akita. We have a 200 gallon fish tank that is home to 2 bichir’s, and 2 Pleco’s. Over COVID I rescued my female Shiba Ahmya and raised a surprise litter of 6 Shiba Inu puppies! The most challenging part was saying goodbye to the puppies. I would have kept them all if I could. I am currently preparing to apply to grad school/ career change and have a flexible schedule. I also offer leash training, socialization, and anxiety training. I am really open to whatever needs you may have for your pets. My prices are negotiable on a case by case basis. Meet and greets are a good way to establish expectations for house sitting requests. Communication is key. My goal is to provide personalized, and excellent pet care so that your pets think of me as extended family. True animal lover since I was a kid. I’m comfortable with all dog breeds/ sizes/ temperaments. Flexible usually available on short notice, especially during the pandemic. Now more than ever I know how important it is to provide safe and dependable service for your pets when you can’t be there yourself. Currently pet care is a large part of my life, not just for my own pets but the ones I’ve been lucky enough to meet the last couple of years. I don’t think of pet care as work. I see it more as having relationships/friends that I see regularly. Extra services not listed in the app: I’m willing to provide transportation services for your pets, weather or be a trip to the vet, groomer, park, special requests. Running/biking/agility activities in place of walking. The cost of these services will be $20 for 30 mins or $40 for an hour or more. They can be booked on the app under dog walking and then relevant information/ instructions would need to be provided! Unusual animal/exotic animal sitting requests can be booked under dog since there’s no option for them on the app. Special needs information would need to be provided. Example: Pot Belly Pig, Koi fish pond, Chickens. Lots of care and attention is given to make pets feel safe and comfortable, that’s my goal and how I’d want my babies to feel. My dogs have a set schedule and know what to expect and when. They are treated like family and loved like children. When requesting any pet services it is super beneficial for everyone to make a time schedule/ expectations either emailed or texted prior to the sitting. As well as any food allergies, fears, behaviors, and general emotional/ physical needs. My routine is based around pet care needs. I try to be as flexible as possible to be there for clients and pets alike. I like being able to give peace of mind and be there for people during difficult times. I try to listen to clients needs and meet them as much as possible, so ultimately everyone feels safe and happy! I’m a big advocate of mental health/ wellbeing and it’s always included in my booking decisions. I’m also experienced with many different breeds and situations at this point and know how to make informed decisions.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Madeira
We are so grateful we found Lindsay!!! She was wonderful, and our pups were clearly happy in every photo she sent during her visits. She is very sweet and great with communication. We lost power due to a storm while we were away, and she immediatley reached out to let us know and ask what, if anything, she needed to do. From our very first meeting I felt confident about hiring her, and I would highly recommend her to anyone!! Thank you, Lindsay!!! :)
Kylie watched our two dogs for a long weekend and was great! She took them for walks, made sure they had fresh water and food at dinner time, sent us updates throughout the visits, and was so easy to work with! I would recommend Kylie to anyone looking for help with their animals. You can tell she really cares and is someone we will definitely book with again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Madeira is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,345 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Madeira. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Madeira 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 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.
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 Madeira 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 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.
