“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!”
“Ashley was a great pet sitter for my cat! Her reliability and communication were great, and I know my kitty loved having some company and playtime while I was away! 10/10 recommend!”
“As always, I am so grateful for Sarah! She has taken great care of my cats since the first booking many months ago. She sends thoughtful daily reports and pictures. I’m glad we found her🤗”
“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! 💕”
“Christina was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and to be honest I was a bit nervous, however Christina went above and beyond. She did drop-ins for my 5 year old rat terrier while I was out of town.Christina was great at communicating and providing pictures and updates. She was super thoughtful and adjusted the schedule we had set in order to meet my dog's needs (while of course communicating with me about it). One day it was raining and my dog refused to go to the bathroom (she is a little diva) and Christina went back to the house an extra time after the rain stopped to make sure she was able to use the bathroom. My dog was also not eating much while I was away and Christina hand fed her to make sure she ate. I will definitely be using her again in the future and I am so thankful to have found someone so wonderful to watch my dog!”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Dana is a thorough, caring and responsive sitter who genuinely loves animals! We felt so secure leaving our kitties in her care, and she also managed to capture some of the cutest photos of our cats ever taken. She took care of food, water, cleaned up the occasional mess and kept us posted on two of our kittens who’d recently been spayed and needed some extra attention so they wouldn’t mess with their stitches. We are absolutely making Dana our go to sitter from here on out, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to others looking for animal care.”
“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.”
“She took such good care of my kitty, champagne, super last minute and managed to squeeze me in during a busy holiday. Grateful for her services and I will use her in the future.”
“10/10!!! I was so nervous leaving my babies for an extended period but Yan not only kept me updated, sent lots of photos, but she went above & beyond!! I HIGHLY recommend Yan - especially if you’re an anxious furparent like myself :)”
“Aria was so lovely and communicative the entire time she was taking care of Greta! She was extremely flexible to my chaotic schedule and I couldn’t be happier! Greta was happy as can be when we got home🙂”
About: I am an energetic, patient animal lover with experience caring for pets across all ages, sizes, and activity levels. I enjoy accommodating the quirks specific to your pet and strive to create a "home away from home" environment with my care I have a very flexible and open schedule. I work from home and part-time as a yoga instructor, so pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! I care for clients' pets and homes as I would my own. My goal is to mimic your pets routine as closely as possible: food and water, litter box/potty breaks, exercise, and affection. I can administer oral medications by request.
“Eryca was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. She was nice, flexible, and great to work with. She provided detailed updates and plenty of pictures during her visits. I will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future. Thank you, Eryca!”
“My little girl felt instantly comfortable with Abby and that increased over the days. I decided to not board my pup and let her have the comfort of home, and it was the right decision. Abby is considerate, observant, playful and leaves really comforting notes.”
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).

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 1,924 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:

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.
