“Emily was phenomenal!! The photos and updates let me know my pets were well cared for. She was beyond patient with one cat that was pretty grumpy I was gone and I'm so thankful she was there to take care of them!”
“Thank you Jennifer for taking care of my girl! Will definitely reach out for more services. I appreciate the updates as well and that you took time to come meet her before your first check in.”
“This is the 3rd time we've booked Emily and she has been great. She went above and beyond during this booking as our cat got sick while we were gone. Emily took him to the vet twice. She communicated with us very well and kept us updated on the cat's condition. That was a challenge as we were out of the country. I will definitely book Emily again (if she'll have us). The cat is fine, BTW.”
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.
About: I have grown up caring for and loving animals my entire life! I believe they have helped shape who I am and encourage me to work with all types of animals, big or small, energetic or timid, and even "difficult" pets. I have helped raise puppies and kittens, but currently my pets have aged like fine wine and have entered their elderly era. My experience consists of owning pets myself, pet sitting for friends and family, and soon I will be volunteering at a local shelter. I also plan on majoring in Animal Sciences in the future. I currently work a part-time job and we are in our slow season. I am available for last minute visits and walks and would in fact be delighted to spend my time with your pets. I have a keen eye for detail when it comes to potential hazards and make it a point to ensure accidents are minimalized. Whether it's tidying up to ensure your pet has space for their zoomies or regular potty breaks and mealtimes, I ensure they are looked out for and taken care of as if they were my own.
“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!”
“Shyanne was so easy to work with and did a great job dropping in on our dog. I loved the picture update she provided during her drop in. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Karla took care of our furry family over the holidays. She was quick and easy to communicate with the whole time and went above and beyond for us when our plans had to change had to quickly schedule her for additional drop ins. She was punctual every time, including Christmas Eve and Day when the snow storm came through and even climbed 12 flights of stairs when our elevators were down. Her experience and comfort with cats were apparent immediately and confirmed when even our shyest cat found her lap by the end of our booking. Absolutely will book her for any of our future cat needs.”
“Once again, Cynthia is the best! We always enjoy the humour she sends in her notes. It makes it easier to leave your pets in her very capable hands. You just KNOW she loves them and we will always use her as our cat-sitter.”
“Roscoe loves Kira! We were beyond pleased with the attention that she gave our dog and hugely appreciated the photos and timely communication that she provided us. We highly recommend Kira to care for your animals!”
About: I grew up with my family dog (mini schnauzer) and now have an orange tabby cat of my own. I’ve pet sat for several lovable pets through the years and am always excited to have the opportunity to meet and take care of dogs and cats alike! 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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Madison
We got daily photos for our two Maine Coons…2 visits per day and Felicity was great! Reliable even when there was a lot going on personally she still came in and cared for our babies morning and evening, and she took our last minute booking due to a problem with a different Rover sitter she was able to do do the meet and greet prior and our cats seemed to take a liking to her and it showed as the days went by that they enjoyed her coming in for the visits! We were appreciative for her being company for the 2 of them and spending time feeding and playing with them and just “being” here when we could not be! Got amazing report card pictures which made us smile so thank you very much!! We missed them terribly! But you were here for our babies!!

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 .

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
- 94% 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 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.
