“We really appreciate Cecilia taking care of our cats. She was very personable and did a great job. My old kitty needs a special hand and medication. Cecilia was able to give him what he needed with no stress. We will be requesting her again to watch our babies.”
“Madalyn was super sweet, responsive and knowledgeable with our cats. She provided great pictures and updates. I would absolutely recommend her and will be booking again if I go out of town ☺️”
“She did a great job checking in on Jag and making sure he got the necessary attention! She responded quickly, and also helped with watering the plants, which was so helpful!”
About: I've had many cats, dogs and even chickens over the years. I enjoy watching family and friend’s pets for them. I have two cats to love on right now but would love to give yours some love too! ❤️ I am a retired elementary public school teacher. I work a part time job from home, so I am very flexible with my daily schedule. I can feed, water and play with your furbabies with love and care. I am a reliable and trustworthy person who has lived East Nashville my entire life.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life and now have a beautiful pit mix who I wish I could bring everywhere. (But when I visit your pets, mine will stay at home!) I’m happy to treat your crew with the love I wish my dog always received and the responsible care all pets need. I’m a freelancer, so I often have the flexibility to meet your schedule needs and maintain that schedule week after week so your pets are greeted by a consistent visitor and friend. I’m happy to visit your pets, let them out as needed, go for walks, administer meds, feed them, and if needed crate them so they’re cozy and safe before I leave.
“Dale is absolutely fabulous! She took fantastic care of my kitties and spent time loving on them. I have one cat that is painfully shy and she let Dale love on her too! Hands down the BEST in my book! I will certainly have her sit for us again!!”
“Jackie was great with my cat Rambo, lots of picture updates, gave her both eye drops and oral meds, and took great care of her. She didn't want to leave! Would definitely use again”
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.
“I would give a million stars if the option was available! Mada did an amazing job taking care of my two kitties during an extended work trip. She was extremely caring and communicative during my time away. My cats immediately took to her and showered her with tons of snuggles. Mada did an in-home stay and the house was spotless when I returned. She is kind, caring and conscientious - simply the best!”
“Another great booking experience with Molly! My cat loves her. I love the peace of mind she provides by caring for my babe and sending several photos and details about their time together.”
“Mary was great and I would definitely recommend her and use her again! She watched my cat and my fish and was very communicative and friendly throughout the process. She was also very understanding and sweet with my cat who has a unique personality.”
“Taylor was amazing. She checked in on our cats while we were away for a few days and they were healthy and happy when we came home. I would highly recommend Taylor for your pet care needs and would not hesitate to ask her to help us out in the future when needed. Thank you Taylor for doing such an amazing job!”
About: Ever since I have been a pet sitter, I treat every animal as if they are my own. I instantly fall in love with every animal I meet and create great bonds with my furry friends. When not at my 9-5, I always make time for my animals. I love taking morning and evening walks and playing fetch. Weekends I even take adventures with them. When taking care of pets, I treat them as if they are my own children. I never want them to feel nervous and upset, I try to give them the best experiences I can.
“Morgan was literally the best. One of our cats was diagnosed with diabetes just a couple weeks before we went out of town and Morgan was quick to learn how to give him his insulin and make sure both of our cats were alive and well taken care of the whole time we were gone!! We've never had to hire a cat sitter before so this was an incredible first experience. We're so thankful for her & can't wait to have her back!”
“Allison cared for my 2 cats this week, and I highly recommend her. She is professional and dependable, and provides thorough updates. She is also very pleasant and friendly.”
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve had an irresistible urge to stop and say hello to every animal I see, whether they have paws, feathers, scales, or hooves! I often joke that one of my biggest regrets is not becoming a veterinarian, but caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am.🩷 Being around pets genuinely fills my heart with joy. I love getting to know their unique personalities, making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and caring companion nearby, I’m happy to provide the attention they deserve.🫶🏼🐾 I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. You can count on me to be reliable, patient, loving, and attentive to your pet’s needs. My goal is simple: happy pets, peace of mind for you, and lots of tail wags (or purrs!) along the way.✨ I have a full-time job but I get off at 5pm (Mon-Fri) and honestly I don’t mind using that extra time to spend it with some furry friends. Also I am flexible on weekends! I would ask and take note of any instructions. Other than that, I’d be playing, cuddling, teaching tricks, talking to them or showing them off to my family and friends (specially my mom). If the pet is asleep I’d be reading a book or watching a movie but close by. I enjoy their company all the way!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Madison
Dana did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats! I especially appreciated how attentive she was to Grover, who needed daily medication. She kept me updated with detailed reports throughout my trip, which gave me great peace of mind knowing they were both in good hands. I was really pleased with her communication and the care she provided. Dana will definitely be the first person I check with the next time I need a cat sitter. Highly recommend!
Hailey was amazing with our elderly cat. She spent time with her every morning while we were gone for two weeks, not only feeding but giving her some much-needed attention. She’s extremely responsive and communicative, her updates were very detailed and I couldn’t recommend her more!
Raeanne was absolutely phenomenal! She took such wonderful care of my kitty this week, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable. I really appreciated all the updates and care she put into everything. I would absolutely recommend Raeanne and would happily have her watch him again anytime! 💕

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Madison is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
