“From the very first moment we met Nadjeska, we knew she was the perfect person to care for our beloved dog, Forest. Leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, but Nadjeska immediately put us at ease with her warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for dogs. Forest spent 11 wonderful days with Nadjeska and her family, and the level of care and affection he received was truly exceptional—far beyond what we could have hoped for anywhere else. Nadjeska treated Forest as if he were her own, ensuring he felt safe, loved, and happy every single day. What impressed us most was her commitment to keeping us connected. We received regular updates and daily photos that captured Forest’s joyful moments and his amazing interactions with her family and dogs. These thoughtful touches gave us complete peace of mind and showed just how dedicated Nadjeska is to her work. If you’re looking for someone who is not only highly qualified but also deeply passionate about caring for dogs, Nadjeska is the one. We recommend her with the highest confidence and gratitude—she is simply outstanding. Sincerely, David and Ana”
“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.”
“Catie and her husband were able to take care of my dog when travel plans changed last minute. I was very nervous with a new sitter but they took great care of Barkley. They sent videos and pictures thru out his stay and were very responsive when I reached out to check on how he was doing. I would recommend them and use again!”
“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!”
“Laura did a fantastic job with our 8-month-old Great Dane, who was anxious about being left alone. She provided plenty of updates and reassurance while taking excellent care of our pup!”
“Superb! I felt totally at ease leaving Gabby to Margaret's care. I appreciated her desire to meet Gabby beforehand, and she gave reassuring updates during Gabby's stay. Gabby got a lot of good attention that was documented in photos and messages, and I returned to find her relaxed and calm. I will definitely bring her back to Margaret next time I need dog care.”
“Victoria was terrific in taking care of my dog.....she was very responsive in setting things up and was super sweet when I came to drop Loulou off and pick her up....he family was there too, and they couldn't have been nicer.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Alessandra! This was my first time using Rover, and she was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog, Miso. She even offered to do a little meet-and-greet beforehand, which immediately made me feel comfortable. While I was away, she was so responsive and sent lots of photos and thoughtful updates. Alessandra is warm, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. I felt completely confident that Miso was in good hands the entire time. I’ll definitely be booking with her again the next time I’m out of town!”
“Tara is a great care giver for my dog, a large lan. She has a a dog equipped home and a fenced in back yard. She’s cheerful, accommodating, and provided healthy snacks. She and her husband took her for walks multiple times per day. Totally trustworthy and communicative. Best Rover find ever!”
“Sherry watched our little guy Stitch for five days and did an amazing job! She was very responsive and kept us up updated with pictures and videos. She spent quality time playing and keeping Stirch active. I appreciate Sherry a lot and look to have her watch Stitch again in the near future.”
“We wholeheartedly recommend Katelin. She watched our Australian Shepherd when an unexpected trip arose. I can be a little Type A with directions and she was very gracious and amenable. Add to that great communication and pictures. Working with Katelin was both a professional and enjoyable experience!!”
About: I’m so excited to be welcoming pups back into my schedule! I offer attentive, personalized dog walking with a focus on making every outing feel safe, happy, and special. I treat each dog like one of my own, with plenty of affection, patience, and individual attention. While I continue recovering from knee surgery, I’m currently accepting small, easy-to-handle dogs for walks. Whether your pup loves a leisurely neighborhood stroll, lots of sniffing, or a little extra TLC, I’m happy to tailor their walk to their personality and routine 🐾💜 I am currently a college student, so my schedule varies slightly during the semester. However, I maintain a consistent routine and am reliable with planned visits, especially in the mornings. I commute from Sag Harbor and appreciate having a weekly schedule in advance to ensure consistency and dependability. During winter and summer breaks, I have a much more flexible and open schedule. I provide my own pet-safe wipes to clean paws after outdoor walks, helping keep your home clean while maintaining your pet’s comfort. I’m mindful about the products I use and prioritize gentle, pet-safe options. I always ask before giving any treats and make it a priority to respect both your home and your pet’s routine. I aim to provide thoughtful, considerate care in every environment I’m welcomed into.
“Patrycja was great! She walked Oshie frequently and sent photos daily. When I arrived, Oshie was glad to see me, but also acted like he would have gladly gone back inside her house if I had let him 😂. I highly recommend Patrycja and will use her again if needed!”
“Tina was great! She was flexible on timing, very communicative, sent great pictures of our dog, and he came home happy. Would recommend her highly and look forward to using her in the future.”
“Gen and her family are wonderful hosts!! We received regular updates and pics of how well our Bailey was doing. When we picked her up, she was tired and happy - a perfect combo:) Gen has a fenced yard and two dogs that were wonderful companions to our pup. I highly recommend!!”
“We had a fantastic experience! Kayla took such great care of our dog, Soren — it was clear from the start that she is kind, attentive, and genuinely love animals. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. In fact, I think he’s missing her! We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with Kayla again. Highly recommend!”
“Yajaira has been amazing every time I’ve brought my puppy to her. My dog always looks forward to seeing her and her family and I know she is in good hands with her.”

We feel so confident leaving Frannie with Connie and her family! We know Frannie is well cared for and given lots of wonderful attention. Connie is also a great communicator, friendly and responsive. We already have another booking coming up with her next month. I highly recommend her and her family, too!!
We were in town for the weekend visiting friends and needed a sitter for our dog, Millie. Concetta was wonderful to work with—very responsive and kept us updated the whole time. Millie came home happy and completely exhausted from a fun weekend of playing. We would absolutely recommend Concetta and her family as a trusted dog sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Madison is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 917 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Madison can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Madison home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
