“Emily is great with our Sadie! She is always so kind and understanding. Our dog obviously has some separation anxiety and Emiy took the time to make sure she was loved and cared for. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Cynthia kept meticulous records of her visits. She took excellent care of our diabetic cat’s needs. She gave attention to each pet, caring for them individually and as a small herd.? I whole heartily will use her again.”
“Jennifer was great. She stayed for the allotted time even though my Honey was to shy to come get some loving. She sent proof of eating pictures so I knew she was eating.”
“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!”
About: I grew up with my family dog (mini schnauzer) and now have an orange tabby cat of my own. I’ve pet sat for several lovable pets through the years and am always excited to have the opportunity to meet and take care of dogs and cats alike! I’m currently in between jobs, so I have lots of time to care for pets and help with other household tasks that might be needed. When caring for pets in someone’s home, I follow all necessary instructions on meeting all of their needs. I focus on safety and comfort, as I do with my own pets.
“I’m so grateful for the care Kanese gave my dog while we were away for a week. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my pup’s well being. I loved getting photo updates and could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: From a young age, I have always had a deep love and appreciation for animals. Throughout my life, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including bunnies, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, dogs, and cats. Being around animals brings me genuine joy and fulfillment. As a dedicated pet parent myself, I understand the importance of providing attentive, compassionate care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness at all times. Whether administering medication, maintaining feeding schedules, or offering extra affection, I’m committed to meeting each pet’s individual needs. My experience includes walking dogs, providing personalized attention, engaging in playtime, feeding, and offering companionship to help pets feel secure and loved while their families are away. As a stay-at-home pet mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the dedicated time, care, and attention they deserve each day. I live in an apartment, so I don’t offer pet sitting in my own home, but I’m more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I believe animals feel most secure in their familiar space, and I always do my best to make sure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“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!”
“My cats love Theresa! Even our cat who doesn't come out for anyone, Theresa is able to spot her to make sure she's still around. She always stays for the whole time, and sends the best pics in the report cards. I feel totally at ease k owing the bbs are taken care of”
“Audrey was absolutely amazing and was clearly made to care for cats. We loved the detail and photos she provided with each visit. Will absolutely book her again next trip!”
“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!!”
“Tess was a HUGE help and amazing with Duke and Rain. She was great at communicating, went above and beyond and even got little toys for them. She made an extra trip when the weather was hot to let our dog in. We are so so grateful for her! Thank you, Tess!! We will be booking her again!”
“This is our third time booking Shyanne and we’ve been thoroughly satisfied each time! She’s responsive to all our communications and provides great updates with photos. We’ll continue to book her in the future!”

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!
“This was our first time using Rover and the first time our pets were going to be cared for my someone other than family so I was very nervous. Amber did an excellent job explaining Rover's policies and procedures. She made my fur babies feel so loved during the meet and greet and calmed my anxiousness. Our pets were very well cared for during their drop in visits and we will definitely book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Madison
We had such a great experience with Angelica! She took wonderful care of our pets while we were out of town and gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was dependable, communicative, and sent us updates and pictures throughout our trip, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and everything exactly as we left it. We’ll definitely be using Angelica again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Felicity was wonderful with our two cats! She spent so much quality time with them and sent lots of photos and videos throughout our trip, which we absolutely loved. Her communication was kind, warm, and always quick. I felt completely at ease the entire time we were away. We’re so grateful and hope she’s available the next time we need a pet sitter. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Madison on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 700 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
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
