“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.”
“Thank you Kelly & Brian for making this process a breeze. This was my first time using the app and I would definitely book with you again. The updates and photos put me at ease, ensuring my little one was comfortable. Again thank you for everything!”
“I've left my baby Mojo at his vet for boarding and with family always needed some meds to get him through not with Melanie wonderful videos and pics to prove it Mojo and Stella played so well together Melanie did so much for us I will be using her for all my times away Thank you Melanie and Stella”
“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!”
“We love Colleen! You can tell she and her family genuinely love animals and see pets as part of family. She sends daily updates and photos without even asking which is such a comfort when you are away and miss your fur babies. I can see from the photos that my dog has great fun staying with them, she is allowed to snuggle with them on the couch when they watch TV which is something we do at home as well, I believe that is also a comfort to the dog. Their family dog Jax is such a sweet dog, he gets along with my dog perfectly! My dog always come home happy:) I highly recommend trusting Colleen with your pets!”
“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!”
“Such a wonderful and caring place to leave your fur babies. 🥰 Mrs. Donna and her husband will take good care of your babies while you are away. They will be treated just like family! Five stars and then some! Definitely recommend!!!❤️❤️❤️”
“They were super nice and gave us updates anytime we wanted about the well being of our baby. Would highly recommend them to take care of your fur baby while you are on vacation.”
“Barbara and Keith are absolutely wonderful. They took phenomenal care of Luna and kept us updated the entire time she was there. They loved on her like their own! We will absolutely rebook with them!”
“Shume was the best! I was out of the country and had limited access to my phone/computer. Anytime I called Shume picked up immediately and provided an update on my fur baby. I will definitely be a repeat client:-)”
“Brittany is such a dog lover that cared for our Bailey as if he were part of her own family which includes 3 well behaved and adorable dogs. Brittany takes one client at a time so you can feel peace of mind knowing your dog will be well cared for in a space that is just right. Thank you Brittany! Helen & Dan”
“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!”
“Cassie was a fantastic dog sitter. She’s friendly, attentive, and her backyard is perfect for the dogs to play. My dogs were well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Amber was a great dog sitter. She sent pictures and updates of Wrigley everyday and he came home happy and smelling fresh. I know he had a great time with Amber and loved playing with her dogs. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Was a little nervous about leaving Addie with a "new person" after 5 years with another sitter, but Stephanie was fabulous! Addie was treated like one of the family. Received photos and videos of our pooch every day while away. It was clear that Addie was having a great time and being treated with much love. Can't adequately express our appreciation!!!”
“My Piper had a great time with Diane and her fur babies. She has an overall very pet-friendly house/backyard/neighborhood. She treated my fur baby just like her own, and we’ll definitely come back to her in the future.”
“Danielle was an absolute lifesaver for us! My senior dog has anxiety, and has never stayed with a non-family member, so leaving her for 5 days was initially a bit daunting. However, Danielle was incredibly patient and understanding, and her calm demeanor really helped my pup settle in. Daily text updates and photos provided peace of mind. The photos clearly showed that she was comfortable and captured adorable moments of her relaxing. It was evident how well my dog was cared for. Danielle followed all instructions, and the home was clean. Booking is highly recommended!”
“Becky took great care of our baby, Anna. She stayed in close contact and kept me updated with pictures throughout the week. I would highly recommend Becky if you’re looking for someone to take care of your pet.”

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!
Brett is amazing and my pup really seemed very comfortable staying at his home. Very warm, friendly, and flexible. It took longer to pick her up because I was traveling from out of state and Brett was completely understanding. Would definitely book with him again. Highly recommend because of good communication and positive vibes ✨️
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.
Had a seamless experience with Olivia! She paid attention to our rescue pup’s needs, such as avoiding encounters with other dogs due to his trauma, and provided us with updates throughout his stay. Definitely using her services again next time we need the help!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Madison on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 305 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.
