“Stephanie and Matthew were incredible with my dog, Jet! They were extremely reliable, sent me sweet updates, and Jed was calm and happy when I got back. I’d trust them with Jet anytime and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving dog care!”

“This was a wonderful experience for Toulouse and me! She enjoyed the atmosphere and I we excited to receive updates and pics of my pup. I will definitely use Tulasi’s and her husband’s services again ?”

“Lutisa took such amazing care of my sweet girl! She kept me updated every day! She made my first Rover experience amazing. Thank you so much for everything! You definitely have a repeat client with us!”
“Candice is outstanding!! This was the first time my little baby stayed with an individual sitter/boarder. He was very nervous the first couple of days. Candice was soooo very patient and understanding. She provided daily chats and videos which always brings peace to owners. I can honestly say I did not worry one second because I knew Bandit was in great hands. I will definitely be a repeat customer and highly recommend Candice for anyone seeking someone to take care of their furbaby!”

“Holly took the best care of our puppies, they didn’t want to leave! Her and her family treated the dogs like their own and sent lots of pictures and updates☺️ will definitely be returning to Holly the next time we’re out of town!!”

“Ellie & Karson were phenomenal! Due to my hectic schedule, they were willing to meet me & pick-up Knox. I also received photos and messages throughout the entire stay. Knox is a senior dog, so he requires a lot of attention & love due to his high anxiety. He also needed to take medicine on a daily basis. Ellie & Karson were able to administer the medicine & take Knox on a walk each day! He was very comfortable in their home as I was out of town for a work trip. Definitely highly recommend!”

“Pixie had an amazing time with Starla and her kids during her first stay with Rover. Starla gave Pixie extra attention, ensuring she felt comfortable and loved. Her kids were incredibly sweet, showing Pixie lots of care and affection. It truly felt like Pixie had a wonderful time with them.. I am sure will use starla rover again and again..”

“Dessie took great care of our dogs. She took them to the dog park and sent us updates daily. She also gave us a nice bag of treats, doggie bags, and a nice letter! I could tell my dogs were super happy with their stay and well taken care of”

“Jenna & Shane jumped in when another sitter ghosted me. Communicated clearly and promptly. Helped out when we had travel problems and couldn't get home on the scheduled date. Dogs were happy. Will use again.”

“Wonderful experience, great communication. Our quirky little Bugg had a blast and came home happy, healthy, and well exercised. It was our first time leaving him with non-family and Amber & boys put our minds at ease. Highly recommend!”

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, offering reliable, loving, and attentive care. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, grooming, and administering basic medications, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I pride myself on creating a safe, nurturing environment where they feel happy and cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because animals have always been a part of my life. I’m used to planning my mornings and evenings around walks, feeding, and playtime, and I enjoy building that consistency into my week. Whether it’s daily check-ins, longer stays, or weekend walks, I make sure caring for pets is a reliable and joyful part of my schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I make sure they have regular feeding times, fresh water, daily walks or play, and lots of affection. I also keep their routines as close as possible to what they’re used to, so they feel secure. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow the instructions provided closely — whether that’s specific feeding schedules, administering medications, or sticking to a particular walking route. I always keep the home tidy, respect the client’s space, and send regular updates and photos so they know their pets are happy and cared for.
“Amazing sitter. Can’t believe we even almost took our boys to a boarding facility, this is the way to go. Gabrielle was fantastic looking after our little furry family members taking them to the dog park, walking regularly and even getting them pup cups for Sam’s birthday. She is also good with giving updates and sending pictures/videos throughout their stay. If Gabrielle is someone you’re thinking about requesting to take care of your fur baby and she is available look no further she’s perfect! <3”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Madison on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 419 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 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.
94% of Madison sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Madison 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 NC 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.
