“Brittany and her family took such good care of our vizsla Satchi..we are new to the area and it’s a big relief to find a kind and caring dog sitter nearby. Thanks Brittany”
“Great with our pup as always. Great updates/photos throughout the stay and always makes us feel at ease about dropping her off. Excellent communication and care. Thanks again!”
“As always, our pup is in the best of hands, she’s always excited to stay with Ariel and her family of humans and furry friends. I love our daily updates and pictures and so happy she is in a home environment when we cannot be home with her. Thank you!”
“My Golden had a great stay with Connie and family. She sent photos, gave updates, and we met before at a dog park to make sure our dogs got along. He was well cared for, and even sent him home with a goodie bad with some treats. They are much more like professional caretakers and couldn’t recommend enough.”
“This was my German shepherd, Evie's, first overnight stay with Laura, or anyone else for that matter. I was hoping it would go well and happily Evie had a great time running about and playing with three other dogs. Good to know I have a safe place to drop Evie off when I'm away.”
“Cassandra & Nolan took excellent care of my Rosie girl while I was on a day trip to NYC. Frequent walks, cuddles, playtime, and plenty of photo updates. She enjoyed taking part in their holiday celebration! I will definitely book them again next time I'm in CT.”
“Stephanie too great care of my dog Ember over the holiday weekend! I hadn’t left her with someone she didn’t know before, but she seemed very at-home with Stephanie! Stephanie also helped keep my mind at ease with plenty of pictures and updates on how each day was going!”
“Mariana has been fantastic with our two dogs. We have both a senior dog and a puppy and both receive individualized care and attention tailored to their needs. They immediately feel cared for and at home. We will be back!”
“Jill and her husband Doug were great hosts for our young, active Border Collie. They went out of their way to meet our needs. I had mentioned that Louie liked to chase a Frisbee, and when we arrived Jill had added one to her big bucket of dog toys. I was happy about the big play yard, but while we were away I received some pictures from Jill of Louie and his pals running at the beach. What a great place to leave my pet!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Teresa and Karina! They kept us updated throughout his stay by sending pictures and videos, which we truly appreciated. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for while we were away. When we picked Jax up, it was obvious he had an amazing time. He kept going back to them for hugs and affection, which spoke volumes about how comfortable and loved he felt in their care. We will definitely be using their services again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitters!”
“Carolina is an excellent caregiver; my dogs were very happy with her, and she kept me updated on how they were doing. My family and I are so glad we found her. She will definitely continue to be the one who takes care of them every time we travel. Thanks so much Carolina”
“Serenity offered to meet our pups prior to their stay with her. She sent regular updates to let me know how they were doing. When we picked them up they seemed at ease. I will definitely reach out to her again when needed.”
About: I have a close connection with a well-respected, professional dog trainer. I can usually get helpful tips and techniques on short notice, which I have used to successfully train puppies on basic commands (sit, stay, etc). I have 1 cat (2yrs old) who is neutered, indoor, and very shy. I work from home so I spend a lot of time caring for my pet which includes 3 mealtimes, plus play/enrichment time, and relaxing downtime each day. For dog care, I have a small fenced in yard and live in a nice area, so dog walks and outdoor potty breaks are very convenient at most times of day.
“Mikayla and Justin were incredible! They took such great care of my GSP Goose and sent very detailed and organized updates on how he was doing and made sure to get him an ample amount of exercise everyday. He looked so happy! Also they were extremely understanding and flexible when I had to pick him up a little late due to my return flight getting delayed. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Bruce is an amazing caretaker. We were so comfortable with leaving our dog with him and will definitely be back! Constantly communicating, sending pictures and updates throughout the day. Thank you Bruce so very much!!”
“Maria took good care of our Denver so well. She kept us updated with pics and little notes. It’s our first time using Rover and we’re happy to have Maria as our first sitter. Thank you!”
“Liza was an excellent care taker for Lexington during his overnight stay. She provided daily updates and timely responses. Would definitely recommend and I plan to continue to use her moving forward.”
“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”
“Our puppy received the most loving care from Erica & Thomas (and their kids!). We went away on vacation knowing he was in the best hands possible, allowing us to feel secure knowing he was happy and healthy. We received daily updates/pictures with any issues, which we deeply appreciated. We will continue to use them for care for our puppy in the future!”

We recently left our dog Jax with Brittany for three days. Each day she sent us a narrative of how he was doing along with several action photos of him having fun. As we do not often leave our dog overnight with a sitter, we really appreciate her efforts. It gives us great peace of mind knowing he is enjoying his stay and being well taken care of. In addition, Brittany is delightful to deal with. She is always willing to adjust her schedule to meet our needs. We highly recommend her dog sitting services! Barbara Cohen Kevin Flynn

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Madison on Rover is $49.95 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 945 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.
96% 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 CT 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.
