“Emily did a great job taking care of our cats. She sent a report and several pictures every day. There was a snowstorm while we were away and she set out extra food and water the day before in case she wasn't able to get to our house the next day. I will definitely rebook with Emily the next time we need a cat sitter.”

“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!”

About: I grew up with a mini schnauzer and now have an orange tabby cat of my own. I’ve pet sat for several lovable pets throughout the years and am always excited to have the opportunity to meet and take care of dogs and cats! I’m currently in between jobs, so I have lots of time to care for pets and help with other household tasks that might be needed. When caring for pets in someone’s home, I follow all necessary instructions on meeting all of their needs. I focus on safety and comfort, as I do with my own pets.

About: I have enjoyed having pets of all kinds in my home over the years, and have sat for friends, family, and neighbors for as long a I can remember. I offer peace of mind that your precious friend is well cared for in the proper manner. If you run a strong rules and routine household, I will do things exactly as you describe. If you need someone to cuddle, play, and give-in to your pet's every demand, I can do that! I know the importance of keeping things as normal as possible for our besties, and you know your pet better than anyone else. What you say goes! I currently work full-time, M-F, a few minutes from my home. My spouse has a home office and is with our fluffers during the day, while I'm away. I am focusing on Rover during weekend hours only, until I retire. I have a sweet kitty, and a grumpy little old man at home (dog, not husband LOL) who does not appreciate visitors of any type. So, I am currently available in your home only. I know that it is unsettling for our furry friends (feathered, scaled, etc.) when we are not with them. It is my goal to keep their routine as close as possible to normal for them to help alleviate their stress. I would appreciate a detailed description of what you expect, and will do my best to meet those expectations. I would also love to provide some enrichment activities. Just let me know what their favorite things are, and we will have a great time together.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my hands-on professional background. I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life, including my own dog, who has been part of my family since I was in third grade and now lives with my family in Indiana. Most recently, I worked at a dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m dog CPR certified, experienced in administering medications, and comfortable handling everything from puppies to giant breeds. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away, treating them with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I do work a job, but my schedule is flexible enough that i can consistently make time for pet care. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or breaks during the day, i’m able to fit in walks, check-ins, and quality time with your dog. Pet care is a priority for me, and I plan my day to make sure your dog gets the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in their home, I stick to their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I also keep your space clean and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have a super flexible schedule, so your pet will get plenty of time, attention, and love. I’m also a proud cat mom to my baby Charlie, so I know how important it is to have someone you truly trust with your fur baby. 🐾🤍 I currently have a completely open schedule, so I’m available throughout the day, evenings, and weekends! I’m super flexible and can easily work around you and your pet’s routine. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. My own cat, Charlie, is a shy boy who prefers being the only pet in his space, so I keep home his safe and peaceful place.

About: Taking care of pets has always been a giant part of my life. I currently have two cats at home, but I have also owned dogs in the past. I also grew up helping care for horses, cows, and donkeys on my family's farm, so I am very comfortable around all animals. I will always treat you and your animals with the greatest care and respect. I am senior accounting student at UAH. After spending nearly 8 years working in sales, I left my position to focus on finishing my college degree. I would love spend my time outside of class helping people care for their pets. I take your pets car and safety very seriously. I have two indoor cats, so I am very vigilant when it comes to ensuring pets are safe and secure. This same level of safety is also applied to dogs when I take them outside of the house.

About: I have a true genuine passion for pet sitting. I have always loved and never bored with wanting to care for others pets. I understand that each pet is a part of a family and should be treated as such. I have a few years of experience working in a pet hospital and many references, many including coworkers that understand I would love their pets as if they were my own. I have a full time 8-5 job however, my job is flexible with me taking longer lunch breaks if your pet requires frequent potty breaks and the distance is not far. I will also check on them before and after in addition to overnight if needed. N/A, I don't pet sit at my own place because I rent and they charge extra for that as well as I believe most pets feel comfortable in the safety of their own home.

About: I have extensive experience raising and caring for large animals, which has taught me the dedication, patience, and skill required to ensure their well-being. I currently own three Anatolian Shepherds—two of which I raised from puppies—as well as an Australian Shepherd mix, giving me firsthand knowledge of managing active, working breeds. In addition, I have professional experience as a kennel technician, where I was responsible for the daily care of animals, including feeding, monitoring health, maintaining clean and safe environments, and administering medications. Hi there! My name is Sean, and I have an extensive background in caring for pets. I currently work a part-time job, which allows me flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. On the days I work from 7–5, I’m still available to stop by at least twice a day for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, and I can also spend quality time with your pets in the evenings. On my off-days, half-days and weekends, I have even more availability to provide extra attention, walks, and companionship. I provide my services in the client's home and do not board animals, which allows the pets to remain in a familiar and stress free environment. I promise to respect the client's property and ensure to maintain a safe and clean house. If your animal requires medication I am able to administer tablets or food supplements, but I cannot do injections such as insulin or medications of that nature.

About: I am highly skilled in animal care. I have been pet sitting and caring for animals for 30+ years. I treat my animals and client animals like my children. I have worked in the animal medical field and have been a Veterinary Assistant for 30 years. I can give medications and follow recommended medical treatment for all animals. I personally have a working mini farm. I am willing to farm set also. I have experience with horses, donkeys, goats and poultry. I do work 3 days a week. But I usually only pet sit on the days that I am available, so that I am able to give the pets the best care and attention. I can come to your home for pet walking or letting them outside for a frolic. I offer feeding, and medication giving. This can be pills or injections (insulin if needed). I have a fenced in back yard. I am willing to allow trusted dogs to go off leash. Leash walking is no problem at all. I do have 5 small dogs under 10 lbs. Ages ranging from 1 yr to 13 yrs old. All very well behaved.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Madison

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Madison is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $30 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 October 2026, there are 334 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Madison. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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 , 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.
