“Kira and her husband were great. She sent us photos showing how happy our puppy was. This was our first time using Rover and I cannot recommend them enough as we will definitely be using them again if we need to board our puppy again.”
“Our pet sitter had an emergency 24hrs before our trip, leaving us in a bind. Brett’s response time was less than 8hrs. We received picture updates and Brett was extremely responsive via text. We will definitely be back!”
“I had a great experience using Shume to watch my dog, Donny. I reached out to her because my husband and I were going on a last minute trip. She was super quick to respond and very accommodating. Donny had a great stay! Shume texted updates and pictures to me, which I really appreciated. She was very friendly and professional. I would definitely use her again.”
“Great experience, it was a last minute booking and Kelly was awesome. Got picture updates on my dog and he looked so happy. Got him home and he was so tired from playing with his new friends at Kelly and Brian's home. Would definitely recement if you looking for someone to look after your dog.”
“Ben boarded my two dogs for three weeks. They are quite shy and sensitive but he was amazing with them and went above and beyond to make them comfortable and happy during their stay. He sent me pictures and updates routinely and my dogs fell in love with him and the care they received. We will be regulars from now on and highly recommend if you are looking for a short or long term board.”
“They took really good care of our dog, she sent pictures and updates while we were out of town. I would highly recommend them to care for your pet! I feel like we have new friends as well! Their home is set up with a doggie door, dog ramps, and a safely fenced in back yard. It really puts your mind at ease, when having to leave your pet.”
“Once again, Deborah was fantastic taking care of my fur-baby. She’s very attentive, caring, and flexible. She sends several updates during the stay and is quick to respond. Highly recommend! 5⭐️”
“Our pup almost knocked down their door when we dropped him off. Needless to say he remembers being treated well while there and it makes us happy. Thanks Meaghan and Johnny!”
“My Achilles has become a repeat client. We love the care and attention Dalis shows him while in her care. The picture updates of him playing and having fun gives me such relief to know he is in great hands.”
“We were so lucky to have found Melanie and Stella. Our Zoey is nearly 17 and has some health issues. Melanie provided excellent care and sent daily updates while we were on travel. Zoey and Stella got along well. We will definitely try to book again with Melanie in the future.”
“Kelsey and her family provided safe and loving home for my two cats during my travel. She sent frequent updates with pictures. Her kids are wonderful with animals. One of the pictures shows Kelsey's little daughter gently petting and kissing my cat. It is so beautiful that I'm going to frame it.”
About: I've been around and taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Our family has always been the proud owners of at least one dog. I have fed, bathed, walked, played, cleaned upp after each one. I am currently looking to care for dogs on weekday evenings and all day and overnight on the weekends. I work during the day untill 5pm on weekdays. I have a fenced in backyard and a spacious living room. Dogs are welcome on furniture. On weekends I like to take the dogs to the park.
“Cassie is amazing! She has the warmest heart for your dogs and truly cares. She helped me tremendously in a pinch and sent me updates and pictures. Would recommend her to everyone!”
“Aram kept my dog for a full day and overnight stay, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such great care of my boy and kept me updated throughout his stay with photos, videos, and frequent messages. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. Aram has a beautiful home with a huge backyard that my dog absolutely loved. He clearly had an amazing time! If you’re looking for a dog sitter, Aram is the best there is! You will not be disappointed. She is officially my go-to dog sitter from now on! Thank you so much, Aram, for taking such wonderful care of my boy! ❤️🐾”
“Brittany was a great! She gave us daily updates, pictures, and was open to a meet and greet beforehand. I love that she only takes one clients pet at a time to insure the best experience possible. I would absolutely connect with her again!”
About: I have cared for both dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens for over 20 years. The love of animals helps me to care for them in the most precious. I will work hard to earn your trust and theirs! I have reserved my time and skills to become a full-time animal lover and provider. I enjoy caring for animals and can multitask while caring for several at the same time. My new friends are fed played with taken out for bathroom, breaks, exercise, and comforted by me. If they have any, it can be met by me using my lengthy experience we’re caring for all types of animals.

So glad I found James and Emily! They were so easy to work with and took such great care of my pup Theo. Throughout the stay, they sent photos, kept me updated, and worked with me on changing my pickup time due to some flight delays. Definitely will work with them again as I know Theo was safe, happy, and enjoyed plenty of cuddles!
This is my 3rd time booking with Kira and Carter, and my fur baby, Timber, is always well taken care of. This time, I even had them cut my boy’s nails, and he was still loving on them when I picked him up. You can tell he gets treated well because if how excited he is when he gets up to their door. If your looking for some trustworthy folks to take care of your fur-child when you are away, you can feel safe leaving them with Kira & Carter!
Olivia was wonderful with Charlie. I didn't have to worry about him for one second while we were away. I could tell by the pictures she sent that he was happy, at ease, and doing great. When you have an older dog it can be very hard to leave them and I was so grateful that I found Olivia, I could tell immediately that she was a great fit. She will definitely be my go to in the future!
I felt so relieved to find sweet Jessica and Jeffery. They cared for my baby like she was there own and she had a blast with their puppy Joey!! I felt so much better on my vacation knowing my baby was with people who cared so much for her. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!
Highly recommend Autumn and Paul! They have taken care of our pups a couple times now and have done an exceptional job. Our pups were well loved, given great care and attention and were so happy when we picked them up. So glad we have found this sweet family to care for our dogs when we are away.
Diane took Fantastic care of Winston for a week. It was so very nice to go on vacation and not worry about him. She genuinely cares and enjoys dogs, was super easy to work with, has a great yard, sent us pictures and updates. Winston was very well cared for and had a good time with her and Jackie. Thank you so very much Diane!!!!
Eden was wonderful with Scout. She took wonderful care of her and gave her lots of attention. She sent us pictures of Scout and a video as well as giving an update. She is knowledgeable about dogs and loves them very much. So thankful to have found her to watch Scout. She was very professional and focused on pleasing us as the client.
This was Jack’s first time staying with Elizabeth, and it couldn’t have gone better! He had a fantastic time playing with Murphy and came home happy and tired. Elizabeth sent photos and quick updates throughout his stay, which made us feel completely at ease. Jack even came home with a new favorite toy! We’re so grateful to have found Elizabeth and will definitely be booking with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Madison on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 293 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Madison. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Madison sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Madison landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Madison home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Madison.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Madison sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
