About: If this is your first time booking, use https://www.rover.com/sit/noran93663 for 20 dollars off! Ive had the opportunity over the last few years to care for pups ranging from 10weeks to senior dogs! I’ve also had the experience working with dogs of varying temperaments from skittish to semi aggressive. My goal is to provide loving care to your animals while providing that reassurance that your pets are being well loved! I’m currently a stay at home mom so care for the animals can be very flexible and fit whatever schedule works best for them. Keeping the dog on their routine helps to minimize any stress! I have a fenced in backyard and I do have a very playful pup that would love to have a friend or pal to play with!
“We got daily photos for our two Maine Coons…2 visits per day and Felicity was great! Reliable even when there was a lot going on personally she still came in and cared for our babies morning and evening, and she took our last minute booking due to a problem with a different Rover sitter she was able to do do the meet and greet prior and our cats seemed to take a liking to her and it showed as the days went by that they enjoyed her coming in for the visits! We were appreciative for her being company for the 2 of them and spending time feeding and playing with them and just “being” here when we could not be! Got amazing report card pictures which made us smile so thank you very much!! We missed them terribly! But you were here for our babies!!”
“Emily did a great job taking care of our cats. She sent a report and several pictures every day. There was a snowstorm while we were away and she set out extra food and water the day before in case she wasn't able to get to our house the next day. I will definitely rebook with Emily the next time we need a cat sitter.”
“Jennifer was excellent with my babies. Even in the cold single digit weather she came to the house twice for feedings and exercise for my three dogs and my daughters two visiting dogs. Because a short black out tripped the water flow off she had to find the valve in the garage and turn it on. The doggies all seemed to have had a good time as that they were not stressed when we arrived home that evening. I'm looking forward to more dog/house sitting in the future.”
“Bless you for coming to save the day!!! Looking at these pics they clearly loved you LOL so I’m glad you guys had fun together!!! Thank you so much and we will absolutely book you again for our future outings!!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Angelica did a noon time drop in for our dogs. She was great with them! Fed them, let them out, played with them. She was on time and respectful of our home and requests:) We have already booked her for some upcoming overnight stays!”
“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!”
“Absolutely amazing dog sitter! Kind, reliable, and attentive. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved every minute. The regular updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend! 🐾 Thanks Alison !”
“Isabella was awesome! She did a drop-in visit with our dogs, Duke and Onyx, and took great care of them. She mentioned that Onyx was a little trickier because she likes to hide from strangers, but that’s completely normal for her and nothing unusual. Isabella was patient, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure both dogs were comfortable and well taken care of. We really appreciated her communication and would definitely have her care for our dogs 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.”
“Katie was amazing! She visited three times a day, walked my dog each time, made sure she was well-fed, and even administered her medication perfectly. I came home to a happy, healthy pup and couldn’t be more grateful. Katie is reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook her again!”
About: I have enjoyed having pets of all kinds in my home over the years, and have sat for friends, family, and neighbors for as long a I can remember. I offer peace of mind that your precious friend is well cared for in the proper manner. If you run a strong rules and routine household, I will do things exactly as you describe. If you need someone to cuddle, play, and give-in to your pet's every demand, I can do that! I know the importance of keeping things as normal as possible for our besties, and you know your pet better than anyone else. What you say goes! I currently work full-time, M-F, a few minutes from my home. My spouse has a home office and is with our fluffers during the day, while I'm away. I am focusing on Rover during weekend hours only, until I retire. I have a sweet kitty, and a grumpy little old man at home (dog, not husband LOL) who does not appreciate visitors of any type. So, I am currently available in your home only. I know that it is unsettling for our furry friends (feathered, scaled, etc.) when we are not with them. It is my goal to keep their routine as close as possible to normal for them to help alleviate their stress. I would appreciate a detailed description of what you expect, and will do my best to meet those expectations. I would also love to provide some enrichment activities. Just let me know what their favorite things are, and we will have a great time together.
“Tess was easy to communicate with and she took a good care our senior kitty. She followed the instructions I left around the house to accommodate my cat needs. I appreciate her for taking care of my fur baby when we were out of town.”
“Shyanne is wonderful and we definitely recommend booking her! My dog is a bit of a grump and she was perfectly comfortable with him and he even allowed some belly rubs by the end of her visit! A rare honor!”
About: I’ve loved and have been taken care of animals since I was a kid. Also I am currently attending school to specialize in animals behavior. I am currently working a part time job, so I have more than enough time on my hands to fit pet sitting in my schedule. I am very attentive to the pets at all time. I also make sure that anything that could possibly harm them isn’t in their vicinity.

Katrina brought our dog to our wedding so our pup could be our ring bearer! I would a MILLION precent recommend her for this for anyone else and for her care of our dog. She is the best dog carer we have ever had and she truly cares for animals. She is incredibly attentive, organized, and responsible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Madison on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 709 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Madison. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Madison. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
