“Kay was fantastic at taking care of our two cats while we were away. She cared for our diabetic cat and carefully recorded his medicine doses, as well as ensured she spaced the doses out at the proper time intervals. She cleaned up after them both, let us know of any concerns (such as them throwing up) and sent updates and pictures twice each day. She was very attentive when we did a meet and greet with them and the cats seemed to have really enjoyed her company. I would highly recommend Kay for any future pet care needs!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. For the past 6 years, I’ve also provided pet sitting for friends and family, giving me experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine and needs. I take pride in providing loving, dependable care and making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home except on Monday’s , which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide regular check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m also available for pet care on both weekdays and weekends, making it easy to work around your schedule. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel right at home. I have a fully fenced-in yard where pets can safely play, run, and get plenty of exercise. I also have two friendly dogs of my own—a Golden Retriever and a Boxer/German Shepherd mix—who love making new friends. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles while following each pet’s normal routine and individual needs.

About: We’ve always had dogs until recently. Our last one went to the rainbow bridge last June. We’re taking a break from dog ownership, but would love to still have dogs around! We have over 30 years of experience with all kinds of dogs and other pets. I work 4 days per week and my husband is a retired police officer and has a very flexible part time schedule. My husband watches our video cameras frequently when not home to check on the house, pups (ours until recently). We require a free meet & greet visit for all first time clients. Whether the requested service be boarding, walks, or drop ins. We feel this requirement is essential for trust, safety, and expectations. We want your dog to feel comfortable with us first be for caring for them. We have a fenced in yard and a dog door. Dog door will be blocked off at owners request. We only take one clients dogs at a time so we can devote all of our attention to them. Your dogs will be treated as our family pet while we are watching them and they will never be kept in a cage or crate unless the client requests it. Because your dog(s) will have the run of our house, we only take dogs that are completely house broken. This means if your dog only occasionally pees in the house or pees when they’re super excited, unfortunately we won’t be able to accommodate a booking. We live in the country and on rare occasions we have found a tick on our dogs. This has happened maybe four times in the past 20 years. If we’re going to be walking your dogs on our property, they should be on a flea and tick preventative. We have security cameras in the house and outside. My husband is retired law enforcement and I am a registered nurse.

About: I've been around animals since I was very young and love all of them. They are part of my family and will be treated as such while they're with me. I enjoy going on walks and keeping pets happy and entertained. I believe it's very important to know your fur babies will be in great hands when boarding with me. My beloved dog Mario is no longer with me; he lived for 13 wonderful years and was the best dog anyone could ask for. I haven't been able to get another one since then. Watching and caring for other pets makes me happy and brings me joy. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. Working from Home is a blessing and has given me the flexibility to care for others pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I live in a development that gives me plenty of opportunities to go for walks. As long as they come with a leash we will be walking.

About: Hello! I currently work at a dog boarding and daycare center. I absolutely love taking care of the dogs daily. I’ve gained tons of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare setting, providing attentive, compassionate care to ensure each dog felt safe and comfortable. As well as feeding, exercise, playtime, and basic health monitoring while supervising group interactions to encourage positive behavior and prevent conflicts. I’ve developed strong skills in handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities while maintaining a clean, organized, and stress-free environment 🐾🩷 Pet care is a central part of my daily schedule through my work at a dog boarding and daycare center. Each day involves hands-on responsibilities such as feeding, exercising, supervising playgroups, monitoring behavior and health, and maintaining clean and safe environments for the dogs in my care. Because my workday is structured around consistent routines and animal needs, I am accustomed to prioritizing timely care, attention, and safety. This experience allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my schedule while remaining reliable, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s individual needs. When walking pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and enjoyment at all times. I ensure each walk is suited to the dog’s age, energy level, and temperament, providing appropriate exercise while maintaining control and awareness of surroundings. I pay close attention to behavior, leash manners, and potential hazards, and I follow any specific instructions regarding routes, pacing, or handling. Throughout the walk, I offer positive reinforcement, patience, and attentive care to ensure each pet feels secure, stimulated, and well cared for.

About: I just moved back to Ohio and I have had pets my whole life and lost my baby a bit ago. I know how they are family and deserve all the love. My dog was older and had a lot of health issues so I am familiar with different medication that may be needed. I’m currently in grad school for nurse anesthesia and study most days from home. I have a pretty open schedule except Thursday and Friday morning-afternoon but can be available early in the am or that evening. Happy to answer any questions. Anytime except Thursday and Friday 6am-4pm (I have clinical at the VA for grad school) I have online lectures so I can have open availability during the rest of the week and weekends. I can discuss as well. I would prefer to watch your loved one at your home or do day sitting/walks. My current family dog is very timid and a rescue and is scared of literally everything so I don’t want to stress him out

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover; I have cared for my own pets most of my life, and did my first ever (non-family) pet sitting job when I was about 12 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals. My husband and I currently have a dog and cat indoors, along with a pair of cats and fifteen ducks outside. My current pup, Abby, has taught me a lot about dog body language and behavior, so I'm better equipped than ever to interact with anxious dogs. I work full time, but can still provide house sitting services if you're comfortable with me being away during the day Monday-Friday, and can provide drop in and walking services early mornings/evenings during the week. Most weekend days I can be available all day. I'll be sure that I have and understand any instructions you have for your pets to ensure that they get the care they expect and deserve. I've also just completed a PetTech first aid and CPR class to be sure I'm able to keep your pets as safe as possible.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Madison

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Madison on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 424 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:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.
