“Accommodated with short notice. Encouraged a meet and greet, even came to us due to our schedule. Immediately felt at ease leaving Fletcher for the day. He looked happy in the photos sent.”
“I felt very confident leaving my elderly dog Blue with Paul. Paul gave him his medications and special concoction of food with no problem. He set Blue up for comfort and ease while I traveled, and sent me photos and updates for my peace of mind. I highly recommend Paul for your pet sitting needs!”
“Linus stayed with Sue and her family for 12 days over the holidays & we couldn't have been happier with her care. She texted regularly and sent photos and it was clear that Linus was getting all the love and attention he would get from us. We're thrilled with Sue & will definitely use her again.”
“Stan and Barbara took such great care of our dog for the week. They shared daily updates and pictures which we really enjoyed. We will definitely contact them again when we need a dog sitter. Happy to have found them using Rover!”
“Thank you so much for watching Duncan, Carine! From your communication to all the great pictures, we felt so comfortable knowing that Duncan was in great hands with you. We will definitely rebook with you again!”

About: Every pet needs a Kitty & Doggie Grandma! I've been taking care of cats and dogs all my life, for 65 wonderful years! From Buttercup and Molly when I was a little girl, to Daisy today! I love cuddling, petting, brushing, feeding, watering, and changing kitty litter. I provide loving and caring pet visits, with attention to detail including bringing in mail and boxes delivered.I will also gladly take care of your dog in my home — 2-3 days at a time! Daisy loves other dogs, she’s thrilled when doggie friends visit. Just like Daisy, your pooch will be walked 4-5 times per day. “Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way.” John Muir, Scottish-American Naturalist. I don’t work outside of the home. Your pooch will hang out with me and Daisy all day. I occasionally go out for no more than 2 hours at a time. I have one friendly cockapoo to keep your doggie happy and busy playing all day. We have tons of toys! If it’s okay with you, your dog will sleep in my bedroom along with Daisy.
“Amrit was amazing with Pepper. He was so sweet and attentive to her and sent me updates and pictures daily. It didn’t seem like a job for him- he genuinely enjoyed taking care of her. His house was clean and safe. I highly recommend him!!”
“Michele watched my dog in her home, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I loved all the updates and pictures she sent—it really made me feel calm knowing my dog was well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Michele!”
“Luis (and his wife Laura) were very welcoming to our small dog. He sent photo updates twice a day which was very reassuring. It’s great to have such a reliable and caring boarder in the same town!”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”
“Fantastic pet sitting experience for our two dogs! While attending a wedding we left our dogs with the BRATs for a few days. They paid careful attention to the requests we made for our dogs’ care and followed through flawlessly. We also received regular updates by photo, video and text, which reassured us that the dogs were very happy and getting lots of love and attention. We heartily recommend Trevor and family for overnight stays!”
“Jen was super flexible on drop-off & pick up times & extended schedule. She was proactive in sending photos of my dog from walks & generous in using extra dog booties on my dogs paws to keep him cleaner. Last minute I had some probiotics & med to give my dog & she was ok with that too! I would definitely be confortable leaving my fur baby with Jen & highly recommend her.”
“Great experience for our chocolate lab. She was very happy and well taken care of. Had fun with other dogs playing in the snow. It was clear she was in good hands based on the updates we received while on vacation. Loved the report card provided at the end of her stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Briaan was great with Russell! She was warm and caring; he loved her immediately. This was our first time using a sitter and Russell’s first time away from home. She sent me lots of pictures, texts, and videos throughout my time away. Wonderful experience - put my heart at ease.”
“Cherie was a wonderful caretaker for Chase! We were leaving him for the first time, and she put our minds at ease. We knew he was in great hands and had a lot of attention, care and love. She was great with updates, and prompt with replies to any concerns we had. We'd definitely use her again the next time chase is in need of care!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Madison
Luis boarded my little dog, Daisy, for 2 nights last week. This was our first interaction so the four of us (Luis, his wife, Daisy and I) are in a "getting to know you" period. I reached out to him at one point to ask how things were going and he quickly responded "all is well." I was happy to receive AM and PM photos of Daisy both days. Even though she can't talk, it's reassuring to see a photo of one's pup sleeping or walking or eating. I anticipate developing an on-going relationship with Luis and have already booked a second visit next week. Dog owners who require a dog sitter can feel confident that their pup is in good, responsible hands with Luis.
Alka is my pup’s and my new favorite person! I am so thankful I found someone I trust to take care of my Yorkie, Clover. As the owner of a recently adopted 8 year old Yorkie with a few health issues , leaving him with someone new was stressful. Alka immediately put my mind at ease. She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout his stay. He looked so happy, relaxed, and genuinely loved❤️. I couldn’t recommend Alka more highly.
Nadine & Tom were fantastic caretakers for our dog, Ellie. This was our first time using someone outside of family to watch her, so we were a bit nervous, but we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the experience. We were looking for someone warm and attentive who would give Ellie personalized care, and that’s exactly what we found with Nadine and Tom. Ellie can be anxious around other dogs, so it meant so much to us that she was able to stay with Nadine and Tom one-on-one. They truly made her feel comfortable and at home. We especially appreciated the daily photos and thoughtful updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Nadine & Tom and would absolutely book with them again.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Gabriel took such amazing care of our Moon, while we were away. From the very first message, he was friendly, communicative, and clearly experienced. We got regular updates, photos, and little notes that showed how much attention and affection our baby was getting. It gave us total peace of mind knowing Moon was in such good hands. When we came home, Moon was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We’ll absolutely be booking with Gabriel again — highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly reliable and caring sitter!
Kellie was amazing! She took incredible care of my Lexi. I was extremely nervous to book with someone I didn’t know but from the second I met Kellie, she put me at ease. She is kind, compassionate, and truly a good person. I can’t thank her enough. I will definitely book with her again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Madison
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Madison on Rover is $82.69 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 13,452 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.
95% 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 NJ 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.
