“Liz is fantastic! she has been incredibly patient with my shy kitty. it’s obvious by her care and attention that she knows and loves animals. she is trustworthy, considerate, and communicative. She is my go to person for drop in visits.”
“I am incredibly grateful to have found Chelsea on Rover. From our first meeting, I had complete trust in her abilities to care for my older dog. She was dependable, shared wonderful photos and timely updates at each drop-in visit, and is just overall an awesome person. Upon our arrival home, our dog was relaxed, happy, content, and so well taken care of. I would highly recommend Chelsea for all of your pet needs.”
“Quite pleased with Sue. I only have a cat but that said , my cat came out to play with Sue swishing Maggie’s’ fishing pole. I knew this because I got many photos and text which makes me so happy when I am away. Will definitely use again.”
“Brianna did a great job taking care of my Boston terrier mix, Gunnar. He's a new dog to me although he's 7 years old, so I shared with her what I know about him, and they got along famously. She was very responsive and communicated well from the first contact, to setting up the meet and greet, to the day she came for two drop in visits while I was gone for a very long day. She took some very sweet photos of Gunnar and told me all about their activities, so I knew he was having as good a day as he could have, being alone except for her two visits. She gave him his treats and took him for walks, and it looks like they had a good time. He was happy when I got home and hadn't touched a thing in the house. I would highly recommend Brianna for your pet!”
“Jennifer is so awesome! Friendly and flexible, great with animals. Her check ins were detailed, I could tell Bella was happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond.”
“Richard was wonderful with my shy cat Sophie. I was worried she would hide during the drop in visits, but it wasn't long before Richard won her over. He sent photos, was communicative, and flexible with times. I would definitely recommend him, and look forward to using his services in the future.”
“Amy is perfect. Our kitties liked her right away, she gave them lots of play time, and she was kind enough to take in a few packages and water our poor basil plant on the kitchen counter that we had forgotten about. Amy was also kind enough to share pictures every day we were away, and she clearly communicated her availability and timing for each day in advance. We are very happy and hope Amy will be able and willing to take care of our kittens again in the future (next time we're away). Thank you Amy!”
“Eliot was great! Very easy to get in contact with and flexible with my schedule. She sent me an update when on her visit as well as a few pictures which was greatly appreciated. She is also very knowledgable and gave me some great advice for my 6 month old puppy. Would definitely recommend Eliot for someone looking for a short term or long term sitter. ”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 93 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Madison. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Madison. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
