“I felt so comfortable leaving my baby to be looked over by Ashley! I love the photos she sent and it shows ..They have a bond and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and haven’t looked back! We currently have two dogs, 7 & 1, Shiloh and Shepherd. I raised a puppy with my sister and most recently Shepherd who is a retriever/poodle mix. I am currently building a small business but it is very flexible. I can be available every day at any hour and would love overnights, weekends and longer term stays! I will treat them as my own. We will spend a lot of time together. I love taking walks and having a furry friend with me. I want them to feel as safe and secure with you gone as possible. I will provide daily photo and text updates so you can see what fun we've been having. I will bring in the mail, take out the trash, and water plants as well.
“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 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.”
“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!”
“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: Hey there! I work from home with an incredibly flexible schedule, & am desperate for some time with dogs! I'm a huge animal person in general (with two of my own cats — Tim Riggins & Aunt Jackie.) I’m home alone a LOT, & am looking for anything that helps me get out of the house more often- what better reason than pets!? I have been taking care of other peoples animals for 20 years- long time pet sitter with dozens of references, if necessary! I love giving animals as much attention as possible... I mean, have you seen them? THEY ARE ALL SO CUTE! I love doing anything that involves spending time with animals- playing, snuggling, walking- really anything at all! I'd love to help you, & your pet out! I work from home, with a super flexible schedule so I'm available to help pretty much whatever time(s) work best for you and your pet! I'm happy to do whatever it takes to keep your pet safe while they're in my care! As an anxious millennial, I worry about everything, which works to your advantage! I'm very thorough and use a lot of care with all things animal related.
“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!”
“Ashley was incredible with my little farm of animals. She sent photos, was very communicative, and most importantly my pets loved her. Definitely now have my go too sitter & couldn’t recommend her more. 5/5 all day.”
“I just had the best experience with her taking care of my babies! She was super reliable, even on short notice, and you could really tell how much she loves my pups. I’m definitely going to use her services again in the future, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
“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.”
“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! 💕”
“Claire is wonderful- was a life saver for Beatrice! Had a walker suddenly quit on me short notice - sent Claire a request on a Sunday and she was at my house for meet and greet the same day. I work so much and it is a relief that my Beatrice is cared for and it is truly sincere as she is a fur mom too!”

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!

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 1,932 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
