“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!”
“Ms. Aram cared for my dog for 3 nights and 4 days and did a wonderful job, with lots of photos and updates. My dog usually comes home anxious after I’ve been away, but this time she settled right back in, calm and happy, like she’d been at a second home. I’ve finally found the perfect care for my dog. Highly recommend!”
“We could not have wished for or dreamt of a better experience than with Donna and Will. They are dog lovers to the core and Murphy had a fantastic time. We'll be using them again soon for sure.”
“Kelsey and her family were so great watching our dog during our extended vacation! Our dog came home happy and exhausted! They were very communicative throughout the stay and sent pictures. They also promptly dropped off and picked up our dog to the minute they said they would. Would definitely trust and leave our dog with Kelsey again!”
“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!”
“Great dog loving household helped us out when we were hung up getting out our door to leave on our vacation. We were happy to find them waiting with open arms for our pet. ”
“Connie was the best! Casper enjoyed playing with her fur babies! She even got him off the puppy pads and do his business outside. She is warm and friendly and made me feel that Casper will be cared for!”
“Benny was absolutely amazing!! He took wonderful care of my dogs. This was my first experience ever boarding my animals and I will definitely use Benny again in the future. I had complete peace of mind that my fur babies were happy and safe and having an absolute blast while I was away.”
“Here’s a warm, genuine 5-star review you can use: Hanna took amazing care of my dog while I was away! She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pup was loved, well cared for, and happy the entire stay. Communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter. Thank you so much, Hanna”
“Heather was so amazing and I would definitely use her services again! She has loved our dogs so well while they have been in her care! She took the time to find out their home life to see how they would be most comfortable at her home. She was also so kind and helpful to me during the booking process. I highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pets:)”
“Excellent care of my fur babies as always!! Especially with my one dog being blind I’m never worried on how she is doing. Communication is always given and appreciated!!”
“Kristen is kind, communicative, and doesn’t deviate from loving and caring on your pet. She watched my pup and my gecko for nearly two months as I was coming back from a deployment. She gave me regular updates, troubleshot when she couldn’t get a hold of me, and stayed flexible as I made it home. My pup is on medications and Kristen not only followed the directions, but my pup left her in better shape than she had arrived there! I was extremely thankful for her patience and coordination to make sure my critters were well loved and cared for. Thank you, again!”
“Anniyah kept PePe for seven and she was great. She sent daily updates along with videos which helped with MY separation anxiety (lol). I was so happy to see PePe when I picked him up because Anniyah actually had him walking with his leash, which was something I had not been able to accomplish. So, would I rebook Anniyah again, most definitely!”
“Monica did an excellent job taking care of our dog, Beaut! My husband and I received text messages and several photos showing Beaut’s daily activities. Beaut got along great with Monica’s two dogs and played with them often.”
About: I grew up in a vet clinic having a father as a Veterinarian calling it my home away from home. I chose to stay in the animal field with the passion I have for animals and be that person that owners can trust when they leave their animals and have a peace of mind.I have tons of vet tech experience. I am currently a stay at home mom with my 2 sons,Beckett and Brooks,4 cats, and a dog.We are all enjoying summer at the house with tons of free time , so watching after animals will fit into my schedule perfectly. I have a fenced in back yard and let them out very frequently, several times during the day and of course first thing in the morning and right before bedtime.My house is very clean and there’s plenty of space for your pet.I will follow any instructions you leave me whether it’s feeding or medication.When they are at my home they are considered family.They can free roam, sleep in the bed with me, get on the couch, the whole point is I want them to feel comfortable and have fun!!
“Chad and Adrienne took wonderful care of Ravioli! We were a little nervous about needing a Rover since Ravioli recently injured his leg and is taking meds, but they monitored him closely and kept us reassured. They sent daily updates with photos, and we picked up a very happy dog! I wholeheartedly recommend them as hosts, and I’d be happy to send our pup there again in the future!”
“Oh my goodness Dasha is a life saver. She kept our baby girl while we had to travel and did such a good job at communicating with us. we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing that she was in good hands. Pictures came daily which put us at peace and made us smile.”

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!
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!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Madison is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $53 per night. 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 290 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Madison can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Madison home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
