“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.”
“Cynthia is excellent with my kitties and makes sure they have plenty of interaction while I'm away. I'm so glad to know there is someone reliable visiting them and checking on them while I'm gone, and I feel better getting picture updates from her.”
“Felicity is an animal whisperer! She won over our shyest kitty who never accepts pets from strangers. All the photos she shared while we were gone made me smile and put my mind at ease.”
“Bless you for coming to save the day!!! Looking at these pics they clearly loved you LOL so I’m glad you guys had fun together!!! Thank you so much and we will absolutely book you again for our future outings!!! ❤️❤️❤️”
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.
“Elizabeth was great with our two big dogs! She was able to meet last minute to do a meet and greet, and we were able to schedule her within a couple days of reaching out. We will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Isabella done a great job! Very communicative, went above and beyond expectations, and I’d recommend anyone to use her pet sitting services! Thank you for all you did to take care of Bartholomew and Henry. We all appreciate it 😎”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
“Anna did a great job and went above and beyond watching my doggies last week. One of them was on a special diet and she really dealt with it well and was extremely communicative as always! Highly recommend!!!”
“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!”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Madison on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
