About: I have taken care of multiple breeds of dogs since I was about 12 years old. I am very comfortable with big and small dogs. I work remote, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine and schedule. This allows me to provide consistent attention, companionship, and care daily. I treat every pet as if they were my own. We have a fenced in backyard and I prioritize cleanliness and communication with the owners.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels—from playful puppies to calm seniors. I am also a big cat lover, and have fostered sweet kitties with the Atlanta Humane Society. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules & special diets, leash walking and potty routines, and administering medication (if applicable). I pay close attention to behavior and body language so your pet always feels safe and understood. I am available for drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting. I am available weekends, early mornings, and afternoon/nights. As well as a few days during the week. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with you to meet your pet’s needs. Your pet's comfort and safety will always come first!

“Asha is THE BEST sitter I’ve ever had! She truly has a love for animals and treated my babies like her own. They love her! I was able to enjoy my time away without a second thought as to how my pups were being cared for. She sent pics and videos on each of her visits. I HIGHLY recommend her! I wish I could rate her more than 5 stars....she’s a 10 for sure!!!!”

About: Hi, I’m Morgan! Dogs are my passion, and I’ve spent 12+ years caring for pups of all ages. With 2 years of experience as a veterinary assistant and a background in animal science, I know how to keep dogs happy, healthy, and safe. I love keeping dogs active — a tired pup is a happy pup! I provide dog-sitting, dog-walking, bathing, and drop-ins, following all care instructions carefully and sending picture updates so you can see your furry friend enjoying their day. I currently work full-time, so I’m available after my shift on weekdays and full-time on weekends. I have one friendly dog to keep your pup company and can accommodate shy or special-needs dogs. I also have a spacious yard and access to nearby dog parks during quiet times for safe play. I’d love the opportunity to help keep your dog happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away! I work full-time at a veterinary hospital from 7:00 AM–3:00 PM on weekdays. Outside of these hours, I’m available for drop-ins or pet care as needed. I’m also free on weekends, which allows me to provide flexible care to meet your pet’s schedule and needs. I provide a range of personalized pet care services, including drop-ins, dog-walking, and more. For drop-ins, I visit your home to provide fresh food and water, administer medication if needed, and give plenty of love and attention. I also engage with your pets through playtime, walks, or activities suited to their personality, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. If pets are in my care at my home, I ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with attention, playtime, and exercise. I always follow your specific care instructions, from dietary needs to medication and routines, so your pet feels right at home.

“We knew Alexis from a local animal hospital so asking her to care for our fur babies was an easy no-brainer. Her love for animals coupled with her veterinary skills makes her a natural! She is incredibly warm and sincere. One of our very shy kitties actually came out and connected with her! They say animals are the best judge of people, and my babies love her! Alexis is at the top of our list.”

About: Reliable, Experienced & Ready to Care for Your Pets! Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve volunteered at a nature center caring for reptiles, worked as a farm hand, and helped care for my family’s cattle.

My management is aware of my use of rover, and is very understanding to slight schedule changes. At my house my animals are spoiled, so I will treat your babies the same. They will get a multitude of cuddles, and just leave any special instructions like meals or medication. (However I am not specialized in injections.)
About: Hi there! I have over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. From cats and dogs to rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, chickens, mice, and even fish, I’ve had the pleasure of providing a safe and loving environment for a wide range of pets. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I’m here to offer the reliable, compassionate care they deserve while you’re away. I am available before work (6-8 am), during my lunch hour which is flexible (11 am-2 pm), and after work (5:30-9pm). Weekends I am available 6 am-9 pm, unless house sitting. As a flexible sitter with a passion for animals, I offer a variety of services to meet your pet care needs.

What I Offer: Drop-in Check-ins: Short visits to feed, clean, and provide companionship for your pets. Drop-in Walks: Regular walks for dogs to keep them active and engaged. Overnight Stays: I’ll stay overnight with your pets to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are gone.

About: My goal is to love, protect & care for each of your babies in the environment in which they feel most comfortable- their own home. I have stayed busy with pet sitting on the side for 11 years now, which I consider a blessing. I understand how depressed pets can get when their owners are away. I can't stand to see their sad, little faces. So, I make certain each pet gets plenty of love and attention, just as a child would; because that's what they are! I love to care for animals! I consider it a privilege. As of right now, I'm available lunch/ afternoons and in the evenings during the week. And have even more time on the weekends, to love on & care for your babies. I promise to always provide an environment that's safe (this includes a large, temperature controlled "doggie" safe-from this heat/extreme temps-room, complete with a doggie door, that leads to a nice, large backyard, if ever I'm caring for them at my house) and filled with lots of love. I will take the very best care of each and every furry baby that is entrusted to me. And I will do my very best to honor any special requests you may have.
About: 8 years of professional petsitting experience on top of multiple years of pet ownership; includes housesitting, house maintenance, and care of non-traditional pets such as rodents and reptiles. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible and wide open for plenty of time to love on your furry friends. I receive my schedule weeks in advance and am able to prioritize my clients effectively and ensure the highest quality of care. Due to my apartment complex not allowing pets, I care for pets at clients’ homes, whether that’s through pop-in visits to the home or housesitting for the amount of time needed. This ensures that your pets are in an environment that they are comfortable in. I communicate with clients before and throughout the visit to ensure they are kept in the loop while I care for their pets, including photos, and I never hesitate to ask questions if I have any.
About: I’ve been a pet owner since my early teens. I have a habit of spoiling my pets and I’ll likely spoil yours while in my care. 😃 I work full time outside of the home. During the summer months someone is home with the pets. I have a doggy door that is accessible for pets to use. My 2 dogs would love to have your pet as a play mate. I have a fenced yard and doggy door for use while I’m away from home. My 2 teenage children are around to give your pets extra love and attention too.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Madison choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

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 Meet & Greet .
