“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!”
“INCREDIBLE PET SITTER! I've lived in multiple states and she's the best I've had by far. She went above and beyond to take care of my floof! I'm so grateful. Just the best!”
“Cortney was amazing ! She went above & beyond to be with my pets while I was away for a days. She sent pictures & let me know how things were going . She is a great person & I enjoyed getting to know her . I will definitely have her check in with my pets again!!! What a wonderful relief to know my fur babies were in great hands .”
“Cynthia did an awesome job watching our three dogs. Communication was great, she sent lots of pictures and did exactly what we asked her to do. I highly recommend Cynthia if you need someone to watch your pups! We will definitely use her services again.”
“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.”
“If you’re looking for convenience, efficiency, and great communication you’ll want to book with Hannah. She made my first visit a breeze! I have so many moving pieces going on and she made sure that I was comfortable and well informed from booking until the end of the visit. I will definitely be booking all future visit with her!”
“Excellent with my cat while I was out of the country eight days over Christmas! Tess was consistent and dependable from the first time we communicated. Seeing regular pictures of her doing the things with my cat that we discussed made me relax about being away from her. She also brought in packages and is so sweet. When I got back, my cat did not seem stressed at all that I had been gone. I will be using Tess again.”
“Karla was great! She was easy to get a hold of, kept me informed, and was very reliable. My cats loved her, especially after she found the cat snip spray that I forgot to tell her about. Lol. I think she even watered my plants for me once, which was very thoughtful.”
“Kira has been a reliable and great sitter for Lily. I get pictures and an update with each visit, which relieves my worries while I’m at work. She responds quickly with any question or concerns I may have. I was lucky to have found her!”
About: Hi! My name is Elena, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I understand that pets aren’t just pets—they’re family—and I treat every animal in my care with patience, respect, and genuine affection. I’m attentive, calm under pressure, and very observant of behavior changes, which helps me keep pets safe and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a relaxing walk, structured routine, or extra reassurance while you’re away, I tailor my care to their individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins so pets receive consistent attention, structure, and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety and trust at all times. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and house rules. I keep environments clean, secure, and calm, supervise pets closely, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and informed.
About: I’ve always either had my own dog(s) to care for or a neighbor that needed dog sitting. I have plenty of experience in walking, feeding and bathing small to large dogs and administering oral and topical medications. I’m currently in college and have a schedule that varies each day but generally I am available after 4pm for Wednesdays and Fridays, after 10am for Thursdays and all day on the weekends. I’ve sat for dogs that have had a fence available or not so I know when to use a leash if needed. I love to keep my own dogs active with play but also understand when they aren’t comfortable with that. I also like to pay attention when they’re eating because I know that some dogs can get anxious when their owners are away and not eat.
About: I don’t have a dog - let me love on yours! I can offer a combination of love, experience, and specialized skills! Whether it's helping puppies learn the ropes with gentle training or providing extra TLC for senior pets, I tailor my care to each pet's needs. Your fur baby will get more than just a sitter — they'll get a trusted companion who’s got their best interests at heart. I currently work 3 days a week, each week my schedule varies regarding which 3 days Monday-Friday. Weekends and nights are available for late/night shift workers. Small yard and neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks for walking. More than happy to take your dog to a greenway or walk around your area!
About: I have several clients and I love watching other people pets while they are away, and want to make sure your pet still gets love I love to send updates, and pictures so you know how your sweet babies are doing and so I can keep you in the know. Your babies will be in great hands and I will give them lots of love while you are gone. I do work Full Time for the Rocket City Trash Pandas as their Merchandise Coordinator I will walk them, give them lots of cuddles and love, and they can even sleep in the bed with me if you allow it
“Jazmin is great! She’s very communicative and takes great care of my boy. He’s always so happy and calm when I come home. She makes sure he potties, has plenty of water, and lets me know how he did. She even took on an additional day last minute. I would recommend her to my friends and family knowing she really cares for my baby!”

Emily was great! She cared and loved on our dogs during a quick, unexpected trip. Emily gave us a peace of mind while we were away, kept us updated at every visit, and sent us pictures of our fur babies. We will absolutely use her for our pet sitter again if she will have us. Thank you Emily!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Madison stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Madison choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Madison with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
