“I am so thankful for Nina's help while I was away for two long days in a row. The dogs were happier and more relaxed when I came home and seeing her reports took away all my guilt for leaving them for the day. It's obvious they had fun and felt loved. I will definitely seek her out again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, my favorite breed is golden retrievers! I’m a very responsible medical student who is responsible and good at communication. I am part time with a variable but flexible schedule. Some weeks I can visit more frequently than others but I will be communicative about this. At home I have a fence for dogs. I’m looking to walk and/or visit. I am comfortable with crating. I am flexible to your dogs needs!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds - I have experience in dog-walking, dog and cat sitting and basic care. I treat them as if they’re my own by giving them all the attention they need. They are my top priority when they’re in my care! I am available for dog-walking most late afternoons. I can do 30 or 60 minutes depending on your needs! I have experience with all kinds of leashes. I will create an environment for your pet that will make them feel safe! Whether it’s for a walk or for a visit, they will feel comfortable and at ease.
“Sara was great with our shy cat. She was punctual and reliable for our long stay away from home, and provided regular updates and pictures. We will be booking with Sara again!”
“Suzanne was great with my cat and sent detailed updates after each visit. She was kind enough to come do a meet and greet beforehand as well. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Charlotte was on time and professional, taking care of my golden retriever Honey like she was her own! She took her out to go potty, played with her tennis ball and gave her lots of love and attention. Honey was very happy and I would definitely recommend Charlotte to watch your furry friend.”
“Ashley was wonderful and accommodating to my last minute request for a drop in visit to let my puppy Ron out! She played with him and had him go potty twice! So grateful for her!”
“Emily did an exceptional taking care of Goldie. She's very diligent about making sure she does everything expected. (Our dog has diabetes and several eye issues). We plan to have her drop by a lot in the future.”
“Brendan was great with our 2 dogs. The dogs seemed to like him and the pictures proved that. He took his time with each dog individually which was nice for the dogs to get their own attention. Thank you for respecting our home and taking care of our fur-babies! We are definitely keeping Brendan in our favorites.”
“My skittish cat, Ori, must have really liked her. When I came home, rather than coming out from under my bed upstairs or the like, he was perched on the armrest of the couch near the door, on station for pets. Then he saw it was me and grumbled under his breath. 🤣 Thanks for watching my cats! 😊”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, including playful puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I am comfortable administering medications, following special care instructions, and creating a routine that helps pets feel happy and secure. I have also volunteered with 4 Paws for Ability training future service dogs and with Cincinnati Animal CARE walking shelter dogs, giving me experience with many different breeds, personalities, and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and love building trust with each animal I care for. I work a typical Monday-Friday 9–5 schedule, but caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for outside of work. My mornings, evenings, and weekends are available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and giving your pets the attention they need. I love staying active with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me. My home has a fully fenced-in yard, providing a secure space for dogs to enjoy outdoor time and play safely. I also have cats who are used to sharing their space with other animals and are happy to keep to themselves, allowing visiting pets to have a calm, low-stress environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would want for my own home. I follow all instructions closely, maintain pets’ routines, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I’ve been a dog owner since I was a child and have had my dogs Chewie and Murphy for the past 4 years. I work remotely so am able to be there to care for your pets all day and we have plenty of space for them to romp and play in a safe environment. Working full time but able to take time as needed to care for my furry friends. Weekends are open without work and able to play with and walk the dogs. Fully fenced half acre yard with grass and gardens to play on/in. Our dogs now like to “run the race track” around the house throughout the day.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Madeira is $20

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.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Madeira on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 per visit. 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.

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.
