“Rita is an amazing pet sitter. She kept our little Shih Tzu for an entire week. Finding her on Rover was a blessing to our family. She is kind, patient and responsive. Highly reccomended !”

“I truly appreciate Holly for taking such great care of Ozzy while dog sitting. He's very active and full of energy, but she was incredibly attentive and kept us updated throughout his stay. Holly was not only professional but also warm and reliable. Ozzy clearly enjoyed his time with her!”

“Brittany and her family were truly one of a kind! Ace felt right at home with them and her son young son Everest! I think he and Ace would call eachother on FaceTime every night from here on out if Ace had thumbs 🐾 LOL! 10 out of 10 we’ll be back again!”

“Nikki is the absolute best and the sweetest! From the moment I met her, I knew my boy would be in good hands. She sent lots of pictures and kept in contact. We will definitely be booking again. We thank you so much Nikki!!”

“Ms. Shalesa did an amazing job caring for my puppies! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals, and that gave me peace of mind. She kept me updated, treated my pups like they were her own, and they came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. She’s professional, reliable, and has such a warm personality that makes the whole experience even better. It’s easy to see why pets are comfortable around her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family members. Thanks again, Ms. Shales you’ve definitely earned a repeat customer!”

“Kelly is AMAZING!!! My sweet baby Tucker had the time of his life with Kelly and her sweet pups! I highly recommend her. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about fur babies. She treated him like one of her own. She recommended a better food option for him and sent him home with his new favorite toy. I will definitely rebook with her when I go out of town. Also, I will be looking into her doggy day care services. Tucker became best friends with her dogs and I know he misses them!”

“Bonnie is AMAZING!!! Our sweet boy was SO well taken care of!! He became a part of her family and I could tell she enjoyed keeping him! Don’t put your sweet animals in a cahe for the weekend-take them to Bonnie ❤️ where they can relax and play just like when they’re at home! She quickly replied when I asked how he was and sent us lots of pictures!! Choose Bonnie for your sitting needs! She goes above and beyond and you will be so pleased!!”

About: I've had dogs all my life. I've always had a heart for animals. I was a professional groomer for 10 years and have some experience in showing them. I'd love to make our home your canine companions home away from home. They will be treated like family here! I'm a stay at home mom so we are home most weekdays, and weekends. I have plenty of time to spend with your canine companion. I have a fully fenced backyard and two pups to keep your companion company. I can keep them separated if need be. I ask that you bring your dog's crate and bedding if possible (but not required) to have a familiar surrounding/smell among them. I have a play pen for small dogs, a medium crate and small crate if needed. I'd like for their routine to be as close as their home routine as possible. Your companion will be our companion and they will be treated as family here!
“As a first time Rover user, I was hesitant in trusting our fur baby with strangers. I am so glad I read their reviews and went with my gut instinct! Rue had a great visit and was not in any type of distress after we picked her up - unlike after being boarded. The communication was excellent and we even received daily pictures! I would not hesitate to use them again!”

“Nicky was great with my pups! I was in a pinch and needed someone right away. She was so accommodating, patient, and flexible. She sent pictures daily and eased my anxiety of having my pups somewhere new. I would definitely rebook.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Madison on Rover is $33.3 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 66 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Madison. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 MS 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.
