“I absolutely love Ms. Rita. Thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby Kash! He just felt right at home with her in just minutes of meeting her for the first time. Her home was very comfortable for pets. Love it!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Robin did an excellent job at caring for my Chloe and Chloe had a good experience staying with Robin. I will definitely be using Robin again should I need someone to keep Chloe. Thank you Robin.”
About: I have been dog walking and pet sitting for over 10 years and have looked after my own cats for over 26 years. Many, many cats. If my cat Joy who is 21 could give me a reference, she would.... I hope. She is a cat after all. Don't hold my cats against me! I do love dogs. I have to feng shui my cats with dog walking and caring for dogs. I have and do volunteer at rescue groups. Big Sky/Cat Nip Foundation in Folsom, LA is where I have been volunteering recently. I love them! We meet through Sylvester. He needed a home and I took him home. He's a peach! I have lots of time to tend to peoples pets as well as my own. If there are any details that need sharing about your pets, I want to know! My aim is to make your pets as comfortable as possible and you as well. I do not offer doggy day care or boarding. My lease does not allow me. Also, my cats would be very displeased with me. I can transport to and from doggy day care, vets, etc. I occasionally do sleepovers. Mostly dog walking, cat, pet and house sitting. PLEASE ASK about my RATES if you have many pets like I do. I will adjust accordingly. I have a diabetic cat that I give insulin shots to twice daily. Otherwise, thr care of my cats operates around Sylvester’s shots. I try to schedule around his shots. He’s a good cat! He’s named after Sly Stallone, not Sylvester the cat. I do not offer this service. Please do not inquire. Rover is forcing me to answer this question. I will not ever offer Nordic g or doggy day care out of my home as the house isn’t mine and my cats have priority.
“Amy was the most wonderful and attentive sitter for my fur baby! She sent lots of cute pictures during my pup stay with her! Amy is very informative and my pup loved it there! To add, my pup left behind a belonging at Amy's and Amy was sweet enough to go 30 minutes out her way and bring directly to us. 10/10 recommend!!! Book Amy if you need a dog sitter. You will not regret it!”
“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!”
“Even though I reached out last minute, Ashlyn was so kind and accommodating with my pup. She kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. My dog looked happy and well cared for, and she was very friendly and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“I contacted Holly somewhat last minute to take care of our Vizsla, Blue. She took him in for three days, sent me lots of pics and he seemed to be very happy and well loved. I will definitely be booking with her again as Blue does much better around caring people than he does being boarded in a kennel. Thanks Holly!”
About: I have always loved dogs and found them fascinating! I am constantly researching the most up to date natural snacks/wellness routines for my own dogs! I am looking forward to making your pup feel right at home! We walk our dogs in the morning and at night! We start our work days at 9AM and are usually home by 2 Monday-Friday. After that time and on weekends, all we do is spend time with our dogs. We have HUGE gated yard where we throw toys and run around with them. We never let them outside of the gate without a collar and leash. The safety of animals is our top priority. We don’t know what we would do without them! We have an emergency vet 2 minutes from our house and that always makes us feel extra safe.
“Bonnie was wonderful with Sophie. Sophie is older and Bonnie was patient and loving. Sophie had a difficult time leaving them. I would recommend Bonnie for all your pet needs. Thank you again Bonnie.”
“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.”
About: I’ve been responsible for different breeds for over three decades. Friends and love ones have depended on me to walk and feed their fur babies. I’m currently working full time from home. I’m flexible, dependable, and reliable. I’m here to make your life easier. I’m able to walk, feed, and board. I have a fenced yard. Taken several precautions to ensure pets are secured, loved, and protected. Cameras are on the outside of home. Footage is stored for 30 days.
“Kanieshawa took great care of our sweet pup and we would definitely use her services again! She was very easy to contact and sent updates and pictures while we were gone. Our dog came home happy and well taken care of!”
“WE LOVE MARY PEYTON! It was such a relief to be able to enjoy our vacation knowing our Pinky girl was well taken care of! We got regular updates and pictures of our girl and Mary Peyton even bathed her, trimmed her nails and cleaned her ears! She will definitely be our go-to girl from now on when we go out of town! Thank you, MP! You're the best!”

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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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, 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.
<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 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.
