About: From a young age, I have always had a deep love and appreciation for animals. Throughout my life, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including bunnies, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, dogs, and cats. Being around animals brings me genuine joy and fulfillment. As a dedicated pet parent myself, I understand the importance of providing attentive, compassionate care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness at all times. Whether administering medication, maintaining feeding schedules, or offering extra affection, I’m committed to meeting each pet’s individual needs. My experience includes walking dogs, providing personalized attention, engaging in playtime, feeding, and offering companionship to help pets feel secure and loved while their families are away. As a stay-at-home pet mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the dedicated time, care, and attention they deserve each day. I live in an apartment, so I don’t offer pet sitting in my own home, but I’m more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I believe animals feel most secure in their familiar space, and I always do my best to make sure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Emily was our introduction to Rover, and it could not have gone better! She was so very courteous and helpful and our dogs seemed to love her visits! I wasn't concerned in the least and knew we were in great hands. Her updates, pictured and cards were great. I may not use Rover often but will always check to see if Emily is available!”
“Olivia was an amazing sitter! She took such great care (and pictures) of Matilda. We loved seeing her updates and were never worried about our fur baby while we were away. Olivia is a rockstar!”
“Jennifer was excellent with my babies. Even in the cold single digit weather she came to the house twice for feedings and exercise for my three dogs and my daughters two visiting dogs. Because a short black out tripped the water flow off she had to find the valve in the garage and turn it on. The doggies all seemed to have had a good time as that they were not stressed when we arrived home that evening. I'm looking forward to more dog/house sitting in the future.”
“This is our third time booking Shyanne and we’ve been thoroughly satisfied each time! She’s responsive to all our communications and provides great updates with photos. We’ll continue to book her in the future!”
“I’m so grateful for the care Kanese gave my dog while we were away for a week. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my pup’s well being. I loved getting photo updates and could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Colleen was great with our two dogs, Brodie and Sara. She came over prior to the trip and met both dogs and reviewed our wishes in detail. She was prompt each day and we received a report on each visit to include a picture of both dogs. When we arrived home Brodie and Sara were happy and playful unlike when we pick them up from the kennel and they look emotionally and physically beat down. We will be using Rover and Colleen for our future needs.”
“My cats love Theresa! Even our cat who doesn't come out for anyone, Theresa is able to spot her to make sure she's still around. She always stays for the whole time, and sends the best pics in the report cards. I feel totally at ease k owing the bbs are taken care of”
About: Hi, I'm Lisa — a Registered Nurse, a mom, and a lifelong animal lover. For 17 years I've cared for people at their most vulnerable, and I bring that same calm, attentive, compassionate approach to every pet in my care. Pet care isn’t a side gig or something I stumbled into - it’s a deliberate choice rooted in a lifelong love of animals and a professional commitment to doing things right. I understand what it means to trust someone with the ones you love and I take that responsibility very seriously. I am independently insured and bonded, giving you peace-of-mind that you are fully supported when I am caring for your pet. I'm home during the day, which means your pet gets real, focused attention — not a rushed visit squeezed between other obligations. When you're at work, traveling, or just need a break, your furry family member will be safe, comfortable, and loved. I structure our days around our clients' pets. Morning walks, midday drop-ins, and daytime care all fit naturally into my daily routine so your pet's schedule stays consistent even when yours gets busy. I believe pets are happiest when their routine stays intact. When visiting your home, I stick to the schedule you've set — meals, walks, playtime, and rest — so your pet barely notices you're gone. That predictability is what keeps them calm, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Tess was easy to communicate with and she took a good care our senior kitty. She followed the instructions I left around the house to accommodate my cat needs. I appreciate her for taking care of my fur baby when we were out of town.”
“We would definitely recommend Felicity and book her again! She responded fast, was flexible, and took great care of our dog. We loved the updates/pictures she would send us after each visit!”
About: Big dog lovers and would love to help you with your sitting needs from overnight care in my home or yours, daily dog walking services, and daily check in’s. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to watch your doggies. I can do drop-in visits, dog walking, overnight care in my home, house-sitting, or daily daycare. I am able to drop in to walk, feed, and play with your pet during the early mornings and evenings. Typically available everyday of the week.
“Kira was awesome! She was great at answering questions, always on time, recorded all activities and took great pictures! She completely put our minds at ease while we were on vacation!”
“This was our first time using Rover and the first time our pets were going to be cared for my someone other than family so I was very nervous. Amber did an excellent job explaining Rover's policies and procedures. She made my fur babies feel so loved during the meet and greet and calmed my anxiousness. Our pets were very well cared for during their drop in visits and we will definitely book again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Madison
Olivia was fantastic! She sent us the cutest photos of our two cats each time she visited. What really impressed us is that she examined on of our cats and found a growth that may be of concern. We had never noticed it and now we can set up a vet appointment for her to make sure all is well. We definitely want to use her again.
Felicity was wonderful with our two cats! She spent so much quality time with them and sent lots of photos and videos throughout our trip, which we absolutely loved. Her communication was kind, warm, and always quick. I felt completely at ease the entire time we were away. We’re so grateful and hope she’s available the next time we need a pet sitter. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Madison on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 328 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Madison. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Madison. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
