“Hannah is wonderful! She really works hard to work you in to her schedule even when she has other things scheduled. She is dependable and we will use her as long as she is around!!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs. I’ve raised and trained two medium-to-large dogs with very different temperaments—one with fear-based aggression and the other a confident, strong-willed Husky. Through those experiences, I learned the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and understanding canine body language to help dogs feel safe and confident. Outside of pet care, I’m a full-time elementary school teacher. My career has strengthened my ability to provide calm, reliable care while maintaining clear, consistent boundaries with kindness and compassion. I believe those same qualities help pets feel secure and build trust quickly. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion while you’re away, I’m happy to tailor my care to their routine and personality. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and attentive care. As a teacher, my availability is greatest during evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks, and I always strive to provide dependable communication and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have flexibility during breaks from school, and weekends are also flexible for me morning, afternoon, evenings. I am occasionally available weeknights during the school year. I have a fenced in yard with space to run and I have a dog that is very social. My dog is not crated, yours can be if you prefer (please provide crate if needed).
“If I could give Eryca more than five stars I would! She’s extremely kind, thorough, and above all our cat, Willow, very clearly loves her (she sent photos of Willow sitting in her lap- most of my friends haven’t even had this experience!). On top of it all, she went above and beyond and helped me out when my house key fell out of my bag on my way back from my trip. Eryca is the best and I couldn’t recommend her more. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“I have used Claire as a Rover before, but this most recent time really highlighted how wonderful she is. I had a different Rover scheduled during the holidays (Claire was unavailable the first portion of this time frame or I would have just had her the entire time), however, the other Rover was in an accident and could not finish out her scheduled visits. I messaged Claire and she stepped in to complete the visits while I was away. I can't thank you enough Claire for stepping up and caring for my Miso.”
“Yan was amazing! She was able to do a last-minute drop-in visit for us and took such great care of Chiquito. He was instantly obsessed with her, and it was clear he felt super comfortable right away. She sent tons of adorable photos and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication was excellent, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ll definitely be booking with Yan again!”
“Yea, I found a new pet sitter! My previous pet sitter, who I loved, recently retired from pet sitting so I was left with the task of finding a replacement who could fill her shoes. I found that and more with Sarah! She did an awesome job taking care of my cat Smokey. Very thorough and professional covering all the needed bases. I highly recommend her if you're looking!”
“Amanda has been great with my dog Herbert! He looks forward to seeing her everyday. She sends lots of pictures and updates. She even helped when my dog had an accident in his crate. We love her!”
“Dana visited our 2 kitties four evenings over the Christmas Holiday. She fed, gave water, dealt with the litter, and played with them. They both seemed as comfortable as their natures allow in dealing with a new person, and we had pics after each visit. I would recommend her to visit with your pets too.”
“Kendall was so great with my fur babies! During our meet and greet, I immediately knew she was a good fit because my typically grumpy Lola immediately warmed up to her. I’m convinced all three of my babies were disappointed when I came home because they were hoping it was Kendall.”
“She was amazing she kept us updated with our dog. Great communication. As well as very flexible. Would definitely recommend and use again to watch our dog”
“Absolutely amazing cat sitter! Rae took such great care of Curie while I was away and gave me so much peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure Curie had fresh food, water, and a clean litter box every day. I could tell she genuinely cared, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. I would absolutely recommend Rae to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to watch their pets!”
“Sarah is excellent! She’s a very responsive and took great care of my cats while I was away on holidays. Would definitely recommend her as a responsible and friendly sitter.”
“We have now used Laura two times. She did an excellent job in keeping us updated on our cats. She always sent pictures with a recap after each visit. The cats were well cared for while we were gone. We will definitely continue to ask Laura to watch our cats when we need help.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets, and friends for years! Educated in recognizing dogs behaviors and can handle all different types of personalities. I have a 4 year old wire haired pointer who loves to make a new friend, and an orange tabby cat. I currently make my own schedule and do not work out of an office. I can stop by/let them out for potty breaks every 2-4 hours. I can work from home if needed, depending on how long your baby’s visit is. Fully fenced in backyard with a ton of room to run around! I only take on one family at a time to not overwhelm any guests or my own pets.

Remington is super kind and very responsive! My usual cat sitter was out of town, so I logged onto Rover to find other cat sitters in my area. I contacted Remington, and she responded immediately. My cats are my heart and soul, so I was so glad to find such a sweet person to take care of my boys while I was away. Now my usual cat sitter has competition! Thank you!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Madison on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,914 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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
