“So happy with the care and love Kelly gave to my girls while I was away on a trip. She was so thorough and asked lots of questions to make sure she had everything she needed for the girls stay with her. She sent me pictures and videos every day. I can tell Willow and Juniper had a very nice time. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies!”
“Dalis was great with our boy Soju! Moving to a new place, we are always weary to find a new sitter who can handle a large dog. Dalis was amazing, and sent us pictures during his stay! We highly recommend her and ws plan on having our boy stay with her again!”
“They treated my Bella girl like family and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for her to go while we were out of town! 10/10 highly recommend! They sent photos and gave us updates and I’m so grateful to have found Meaghan and Johnny!!”
“Steven and his family were the best! We had never left our pups at anyone else’s house before and they had the best time. He took several pictures every day so we could see our babies. Our one Aussie is very shy and he warmed right up. I feel like they had a vacation right along with us. They were definitely spoiled. 😂 I will be using Steven again no doubt.”
“Kira is very friendly, responsive, accommodating, and professional! She sent pics daily and I loved it because we had a pretty long vacation. My precious boys looked like they were always having a good time. In fact, on some of the pics they appeared to be smiling lol. We will most definitely be using Kira again! I highly recommend!”
“Brett was fantastic with our pet. He kept him healthy, happy, and safe. He sent us updates and was quick to respond when we messaged him. We will definitely use him again with the situation arises.”
“These two not only truly love dogs, they treat all of their guests like their own Murphy had such a good time the first time there that he whined and barked happily as we drove close the second time. He loves the other dogs, and we plan on boarding with them again in the future. Such a sweet couple.”
“Juyne was so great with my little pup! She sent so many updates, I felt like Winnie was very comfortable and getting very spoiled! Will use Juyne again for sure and we are picky about who we leave our fur baby with!”
“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.”
“I had not boarded Penny since Dec. 2019 due to the Pandemic and, was apprehensive about leaving her for an extended period of time with someone new. We had a really good meet and greet which helped alleviate the anxiety somewhat. However, Stephanie was amazing- she sent reports with pictures and/or videos daily. Penny got along with her dog so she had companionship as well. After the first couple of days gone I just didn’t worry about her anymore and was able to enjoy my first vacation since 2019. I highly recommend Stephanie and would use her again!”
“My husband and I are so glad we found Brittany! We are new to Rover and were a little hesitant at first but after meeting Brittany, we knew our babies would be in great hands! She was very responsive, she sent us pictures with updates everyday and our pups looked as happy as ever! I would definitely recommend Brittany and will definitely be using her again!”
“This our second time booking with Barbara and Keith. They are great at caring for our senior dog. We appreciate the updates and photos they share with us during our dog’s stay. We definitely recommend them to anyone that is needing care for a pet! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Our boys became an extension to Sean and Dianna from the start. They loved playing in the pool and making new friends so much that I don’t think they missed us at all! And I wouldn’t want it any other way!!! We were provided updates of their happenings throughout the day by pictures, videos, and messages. It was so comforting to have absolute peace of mind that my pups were happy. I will 100% be booking with them again.”
“Heather was great, our doggos had fun and we were sent videos daily! It was much nicer for our dogs to be with Heather and in her home than a clinical type setting of boarding them with the veterinarian clinic. We will definitely use Heather again!”
“We (okay, really our lab) are repeat clients of Becky. She is fabulous - always providing a fun, safe, and loving home away from home. Extra playmates and walks, Are a bonus! Highly recommend Becky!”
“Jessica was great! We had a last minute trip and she was able to accommodate us and worked with our schedule. We knew from the meet and great that Gus would be in good hands. We received pictures and videos and Gus looked happy and like he was having a fantastic time’ Gus was comfortable and made himself right at home! Definitely recommend them and will use again!”
“We drop Caspian off with Benjamin all the time and he loves to go over and spend time at Benjamin’s house! I get wonderful pictures of them playing while we’re out of town and I would love to recommend him to anyone thinking about booking here!”

James & Emily were great with our Honey Jo! They sent us pictures, had great communication, and walked Honey during her stay with them. We were traveling by plane so our trip timing was up in the air, but James & Emily were flexible with our drop off & pick up times. Would love to use them again!
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 291 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.
