“This was our first time using rover for our 2 cats. They are super anxious kitties and Natalie was awesome. She kept me updated on them and I didn’t have to worry about a thing!”
“We have booked Alexandria multiple times and she is always amazing at making sure our cat is all set while we travel. She’s great at communication and we get the best pictures while we are traveling.”
“Morghan has cared for my Maine Coon multiple times! She is the very best! I failed to submit a review in time after last Christmas' cat sitting session. The power went out and she came over on Christmas to check on everything!! She wasn't even scheduled for that day! A quick worried message to her and she was right there to help. She made sure my cat and the house was ok. I'll always request her services for my cat. She also spends quality time with my guy. She's more than just a pet sitter! She's very trustworthy, reliable, and goes above and beyond! I highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up with dogs and recently owned 2 rescued dogs. I have land around my home and access to a wooded area with trails for longer walks. I am comfortable with caring for dogs in any facet. I am a teacher and I am looking for summer work. I am free every day until late August. I am willing to walk your dog in your neighborhood or board a dog over night. I have a stake in my yard for when my daughter visits with her 35 lb. Dog. Previous bigger dogs were walked on a leash at all times. I usually walk my dogs 1-2x daily for up to a 1/2 hour.
“We got home to 2 very happy and well taken care of pups!! Peanut and Cyrus were very happy to see their people but seemed a little disappointed that it wasn't their new best friend ☺️ thank you Devon for taking such amazing care of them and sending so many photos with each visit, it definitely put our minds at ease knowing they were in such good hands!! We can't wait to have you back!!”
“Gabriella has been a true blessing for us this holiday. Having two senior pets with special medical needs, we are constantly worried about them. We were very nervous to leave home, but Gabriella was truly caring, professional, and dedicated. Upon our arrival home, we found Christmas presents for our babies waiting on the table. We are so grateful for the wonderful care our pets received from Gabriella and highly recommend her!”
“If I could leave 10 stars I would! Kyliegh is great with Dallas. I was very stressed about finding someone to walk him and spend some time with him while I work but Kyliegh has made all of those fears disappear. Dallas can be difficult and at times even intimidating but she didn’t give up and made sure she did all she could to make Dallas comfortable. I would highly recommend Kyliegh! I have 0 complaints!”
“Great experience with Melinda :)! She made the effort to come beforehand fro a meet and greet and she was great with my cats. It was so nice to be away and not worry about my fur babies :).”
“Amy is awesome! My two dogs are really anxious around new people and that makes me anxious, but because of how calm and capable Amy is, everything went really well! She did drop-in visits 4 days in a row while my husband was working and while I was out of town. She sent me TONS of pictures and updates which was great! My dogs warmed up to her very quickly and by the end of the 4 days I think they thought she was a member of the family! When she took them for a walk, one of my dogs got muddy and she cleaned her up for us. I'm so glad we found Amy and I can't wait to use her when we go out of town at the end of this month! :)”
“He did a fantastic job of taking care of our girls while we were gone. They were fed, watered, played with, and poops cleaned up. We came home to some very happy cats.”
“Cassandra took excellent care of my two cats, one of whom is a senior with some extra care needs. She kept me updated with photos everyday and my boys loved her! She went above and beyond giving them lots of attention and love while we were away. We were delighted to come home to a clean house and happy cats. We will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Cynthia was the first person I any of my dogs with that weren’t family and she did a great job sending pictures and leaving notes about each of them. I would absolutely let her care for my pups again”
“Thomas was wonderful with our two kitties. He checked in on them daily and provided us with pictures and updates that were so appreciated. He truly has a gift with our four legged friends!”
About: Dog mom providing loving, reliable care for puppies, adults, and seniors. Patient, attentive, and committed to keeping every pet safe and happy, and comfortable always. As a full-time online student, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home with my Poms. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for one to two dogs per day, ensuring they receive plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I have my own home with a large patio area where pets can enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time. Since it is not fenced, I always keep pets safely supervised and use their collar or leash when needed. I provide daily walks, exercise, playtime, and loving care while following each pet’s routine and needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 326 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Madison. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Madison stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Madison. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
