“Excellent experience start to finish!! Kaitlin was responsive to our sheltie’s sometimes-timid approach to other dogs, and it was a total success. They had a grand time and leaves us wishing we had to be back this way again!”
“Tracy is fantastic, she was so accommodating and obviously cares so much about pups. Her place is really nice in a quiet neighborhood with a bunch of doggies and a 5mph speed limit. I felt so comfortable leaving Halo with her and will gladly again if I'm back on the area!”
“Alicia abs her wonderful children and husband could not have been more lovely, kind, accommodating, and thoughtful! We are so very grateful. Our pup, Gertie, has never bonded better with a family in a short time. We even got such sweet pictures during her stay. Definitely book with Alicia if you can! What a positive experience. Much appreciation!!”
“Alina was wonderful with Schooner. She made sure he was happy and comfortable at all times. He made fast friends with her dog Laska, who snuggled close to him during a thunderstorm to help calm him. In every photo she sent, Schooner looked happy. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again when I'm back in the area. thank you!”
About: I've taken care of many pets including my own dogs and cats through the years. I can bathe your doggie if you'd like and take him/her for walks. I'm a stay at home mom so your pet will get lots of attention each day. I'll take special care of your furry friends! I'm a stay at home mom of three small children. We currently have two cats of our own so your pet will just fall into our routine each day. I live on a quiet side road without a fenced in yard. I'll take your doggie outside on a leash for potty breaks and walks. Your pet will be well loved.
“Jessica and her family were lifesavers! They took our two dogs last minute and loved on them so well. They did such a good job of integrating our dogs and sending lots of pictures during their stay. Our dogs came back so happy.”
“My Maggie just stayed with Rebecca for a week, and had a great time. Rebecca takes such good care of her, and this time there were two other dogs for her to play with. Rebecca sent pictures and texts, and I could relax and enjoy a vacation that Maggie couldn’t come on. The only downside is I think she’s a little bored now that she’s home and away from the fun!”
“Kim took great care with our dog and let us know that she was doing ok. She was very flexible working with our schedule. I appreciated the fenced yard and felt that our pup would be safe there.”
“Jettie had a great time at Christy’s home! She seemed to love playing with Christy’s dog and went on big exploring walks daily. Christy was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. She sent pictures of Jetties adventures daily. It was great leaving her in a loving home while I was away. Thanks Christy!”
“Janet was fabulous with Willow! I really think WIllow felt like she was at her home away from home. Janet took Willow out for a nice long walk each day which is Willow's favorite way to spend some time. I will definitely be using Janet the next time I need a sitter for Willow.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for Riggs than Ric! He was so kind and loving towards our old dog. He had him outside a ton, gave him great walks, followed our specific food instructions perfectly, and just genuinely obviously cared about Riggs being safe and comfortable. He was also super communicative during Riggs’ whole stay, and flexible with drop off and pick up times. I highly recommend Ric!”
“Our energetic Maddie had a great stay with Tony. We always try to board her with people that have other dogs so she can play and make friends. Tony had her alone, but still managed to get her walking and running off leash in a fenced in yard and kept her happy. He was very good about reaching out and sending pictures during her stay which is very reassuring. Not enough Rover people do that! Tony is highly recommended!”
“Hailey was fantastic with our pups. She sent us pictures and updates for them to help set our minds at ease. There was plenty of room outside for our dogs to run and play. When we picked up our dogs, they were happy and playful. They were very clearly well taken care of. We will definitely use Hailey again.”
About: I have been dog sitting for my granddogs for over 10 year. I enjoy their company and snuggles. I am retired and love the company of dogs. I am home most days and have a flexible schedule. I have time to walk your dog and give them lots of love and snuggles. I have my granddog Monday-Friday. He and I go on little hikes when the weather is good. I brush him weekly and give him lots of attention.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 13 years ,I love to work with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I personally own 3 American bully’s so have a lot of experience with large dog breeds. I can take your dog/s for walks , feed them ,do drop in visits or play with them. I have a small farm so have experience tending to rabbits, cats ,chickens,pigs, goats and chinchillas I work part time and am available weekdays / nights and weekends, i am available for overnights or early morning pick up / drop off I can come to you and take your dog/s for walks or playtime in your yard or neighborhood as well as taking them to hiking trails, parks or just out for a little socializing (depending on the dog) I have dogs that I can bring if your fur baby needs a playmate as well. I also offer daycare and boarding in my home, I don’t currently have a fence up but we are adding one in the spring. I have plenty of room for inside play for the dogs and go on multiple walks a day with them. I do have personal dogs but I can have it so they are separated if your dog doesn’t do well with others.
“Gabrielle was great. Clear and consistent communication. She was attentive to the needs of the different dogs staying with them and Ollie seemed tuckered at the end of the weekend, thank you!”
“Jenn took such great care of our pup when we went away for the holidays. It is evident that she LOVES animals and made Harper feel safe and comfortable right away. Harper became fast friends with her two dogs, Moxie and Ziggy, both sweet dogs. Jenn went above and beyond, sending daily pictures and updates. From the very first day, I knew Harper was well cared for. I highly recommend Jenn and will definitely book her again. What a gem!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 64 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 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 NH 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.
