“This was my first time using Rover.com. I had picked up my German shepherd, Evie, from a shelter in North Carolina last November. Based on her recorded condition when brought in as a stray 5 weeks before she had been through a rough period. She has fully recovered now and is in good health. My wife and I wanted to find someone to board her with where she would be happy when we're away. We identified a few possibilities at the Rover website and following a positive meet and greet with Nadjeska last week, had Evie spend the day with her yesterday. It went very well. Nadjeska sent us several texts with photos during the day updating us on Evie's stay. We were looking for a home where Evie could spend time with and play with other dogs and Evie made a new friend, Sparkles, Najeska's little dog. Nadjeska has a fenced yard which provides a safe place for them to run around in the fresh air. Evie seemed to enjoy the day, Nadjeska obviously loves dogs, and we will be repeat clients in the near future.”
About: Hello! My name is Noelle and I am an experienced sitter. I have had many animal companions my whole life including reactive dogs, small/medium/large dogs. I currently have a 100lbs Dogo Argentino and can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m currently getting my masters online so I am available during all hours of the day to look after your companion! Potty breaks are easy and frequent. I have a huge love for animals and seek to give them a comfortable, happy experience while you’re occupied. I have an unfenced yard, a beautiful walkable neighborhood, and treat each furry friend with all the love, care, patience, and respect they deserve from their sitter!
“Thank you Mary Jo! She watched my Pepper for a couple hours and did a great job! I also thought it was extremely sweet of your son to kiss Pepper goodbye on top of his head :) I highly recommend Mary Jo to look after your dog!”
“Truc watched our Russell terrier Ozzie for the day when we were in the area on vacation. Ozzie left happy and tired, and had a great time with her lab Calvin. Truc was very responsive and easy to communicate with, took special care to ensure Ozzie adjusted well, and even took him on a special adventure in town. Would highly recommend. Thank you Truc!”
“Mariana was wonderful! My dog has a lot of energy and can be anxious, but she took the time to make sure she was ok. She sent lots of videos, photos, and updates, which I really appreciated! We'll definitely use her again!”
“Always a pleasure letting Peanut stay with Brianna. Brianna is very accommodating with our schedule. Peanut is tired but super happy after a day. He likes Brianna a lot.”
About: I have been taking care of animals for over 30 years! Never met an animal that didn't like me after meeting me. I know how to adapt to their vibe and usually end up with lots of puppy and kitty friends! I am very flexible and easy going. I love animals and it literally brings peace and joy to my life to be around as many as possible each day so if I am not with my own animals I would love to help with yours! I can stay over night for animals if needed. I am very flexible and trustworthy. I have animals and I know how they need us! I can drop in for potty breaks or I can take them for long walks and hang with them! I am very open to meeting your needs.
“Christine did a great job with Nellie and I’d definitely book with her again/recommend her to others. I appreciated that she wanted to meet first to make sure our dogs were compatible and that she kept me updated with messages and photos while I was away.”
About: Hi! I've been dog-sitting for the past six years but I've also been around dogs my whole life. My family has always had one or two dogs since I was young, and I adopted my furr-baby, a black lab, border collie mix, when he was a puppy. I have experience with all types of dogs from an eight year old bichon frise to a two year old boxer-pitbull, elderly dogs that need medication and everything in between. I'm very active and enjoy walking/jogging (depending on the dog) and playing with the pups I'm watching. I absolutely love dogs and love dog-sitting as a way to spend time with pups while my dog is out of state with my parents for the time being (will be moving at the end of the year so he’s spending some time with his grandparents ☺️). Let me know if you have any questions! Look forward to hearing from you and making some new doggy friends! Thanks! I work from home and am able to give my pup (and yours!) lots of attention. AM and afternoon walks. Lots of potty breaks and PM hikes and dog park adventures. This is a very dog-friendly house and they’re welcome on furniture and beds. My dog is with my parents right now but my apartment is basically his with many parks and trails close by.
About: I am a former kennel attendant for a dog daycare and boarding facility and was trained to administer medication to dogs of all sizes. I love all dogs big and small. Owning two Dogs Argentinos, one of which is a trained protection dog, has allowed me to gain experience with working with big powerful breeds and enforcing established trained behavior with consistency. I not only board dogs but take them on walks, hikes, and even morning and evenings runs depending on their size and activity levels. I have also been walking dogs professionally for 5 years and am Insured and pet CPR certified! I recently graduated from Quinnipiac University Spring of 2022 with a double Bachelors Degree and have been doing Dog Walking/Boarding full time but have a spaced out schedule which allows time for everything your best friend needs. My schedule spans out from early mornings to late nights. I have full availability for walks adventures, and boarding. Booking a stay with comes with two- three daily long walks, multiple playtimes indoor and outdoor in a large grass yard, adventures in local nearby trails like sleeping giant, visits to the nearby dog park, and much more! Videos and pictures will be sent home on a daily basis as well a bunch of snuggling! Provided toys and treats (for rewarding good behavior) will be available at all times for your pups enjoyment! Since there are three other dogs in the household the convenience of a separated boarding area allows more comfort for guest who are not that social, prefer to have their own space, or not comfortable with large dogs. Before each pup goes home they get a complimentary bath and nail trim!
“Jared is probably the best dog sitter around. Very caring and loving to our pretty high energy 1.5-year-old lab. Wife and I enjoy the daily photos of her. Jared is a real peace of mind and takes the worries about leaving your pet for the afternoon, evening or weekend. I highly recommend him. Kevin B”
“I’m always appreciative for Will. He goes way above and beyond to make sure Romeo is cared for and loved. He’s always so kind and thoughtful when giving care to my little guy. Thank you so much Will and I will be using your services again! ?”
About: I have cared for dogs for many years and currently have three dogs of my own. I am experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and supervising dogs of different ages and personalities. My home has a separate room available for dogs who need their own space to relax. I am patient, responsible, and treat every pet like part of the family. Safety, comfort, and plenty of attention are my top priorities. I am a college student but I am available when my semester ends and can provide regular potty breaks, feeding, walks, playtime, and supervision. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I will communicate with owners and provide updates during their pet’s stay. I have over 11 years of experience caring for dogs and currently have three dogs of my own. One of my dogs is a calm senior Shih Tzu. I supervise all interactions between dogs and have a separate room available for pets who need their own quiet space. Fresh water, feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and safety are always my top priorities. I treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Vanessa was a great sitter for our dog Buttercup! We received many pictures while we were away which was very comforting. Even though Buttercup got sick during her stay, Vanessa took great care of her. Thank you Vanessa!”
About: Hi i’m Laci! I have a French Bull dog, a German Shepard and Chow mix and a Lab and Rottweiler mix and used to have a Boston terrier. I make all dogs in their best environment possible. I dog sit big dogs and small dogs and do it for others around my neighborhood as well! I am very experienced with dogs and do very well with training, walking them and treating them and playing with them to their own needs. I am a D1 field hockey player so I usually train and go to PT in the mornings and am mostly free around 10am-12am. I am also pretty flexible with time. I trained all of them and walked all of them at the same time. I keep my little dog separated from my two big dogs because the french bulldog does not play nice with my one big dog. I do this so their is no conflict with my dogs going forward.
“Tina was wonderful! Great communication and flexible on timing with us. She was very kind to our Louie and sent us several photos and updates while we were away for the day. Will definitely have our guy stay with her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Madison is $52 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $64 per day. 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 of October 2026, there are 694 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Madison. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Madison commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 694 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CT. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
