“Kayahja was awesome! I last minute had to drop my cat off for the night and she was welcoming and went above and beyond caring for Violet. Her two dogs were so cute and friendly with her and she sent lots of pictures and videos so I knew she was safe and happy!”
“Laura always takes such good care of my dog. She keeps me posted with cute videos and pictures. She provides such a safe, calm environment for him.”
“Emily was fantastic with Minnie! Her home is incredibly dog-friendly, with plenty of beds, blankets, and a great backyard for play. Minnie stayed for one night, went on her walks, and I felt completely confident she was in good hands. If we’re ever back in Nashville, we would definitely book Emily again. Highly recommend!”
“Katherine was the best!! She made Koda feel right at home, snuggled with him, walked him, and got some good backyard play time in. I was very grateful that she took such good care of my nervous boy! Definitely will reach out again :)”
“Our dog Lola had a great time with Tara and her family! We received lots of pictures while we were away and we will definitely use them again.”
“Our dog loves Jill!! We could tell Max was so loved and cared for by her. Her home/yard is so lovely and cozy, and her communication/pictures each day made us feel so assured that Max was having a great time! We are so thankful to have found this amazing dogsitter!”
“Michelle and Bryce were so sweet with Archie, sending photos and updates and treating him like one of their own. They went above and beyond with enrichments like a special puzzle toy for him to use to get treats. He was so happy there. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for caring sitters and look forward to Archie staying with them again in the future!”
“This was our first time leaving our puppy and Asia made the experience seamless. She sent us photos and updates several times a day which eased any anxiety I had about leaving her and our kids loved being able to see her awhile away. Asia even took the time to meet us in person prior to the boarding stay. We would and will book with Asia again! She’s wonderful!”
About: I have a 8 year old golden retriever at home that I’ve raised since he was a puppy. He gets along with everybody! I have taken care of family dogs and friends’ dogs throughout my life. I offer daily walks around a very walkable neighborhood and lots of couch cuddles for your dog! Happy to administer medicine. I welcome dogs of all ages and energy levels! I have a flexible work schedule and work from home two days a week so would fit my schedule to your dog’s visit. I have a flexible work schedule and work from home every Friday, which allows me plenty of time to spend with my dog and yours! I am available for boarding on weekends. I love taking my pup on walks at Shelby or playing with him outside in our fenced in back yard. He loves everyone he meets! We live in a very walkable neighborhood that’s great for daily walks.
“Joelle was fantastic! She took great care of my dog, communicated well, and made me feel completely comfortable while I was away. I’d definitely recommend her and will gladly book with her again!”
“Megan and Kerry were absolutely amazing!! They watched our dog Reba many times over the Summer and took excellent care of her. They always responded quickly and sent lots of pictures. Will definitely be using them again”
“I must say this was the best dog sitting experience I have had. Austin was wonderful. His home was clean. And my dog is a big dog so there was plenty of yard for my dog to run and get exercise. As well as plenty of space indoors. He sent pictures and kept me updated on how Nova was doing. Very friendly and will definitely be using his services again.”
“Will definitely be a returning client with Angela! She took such great care of Miss Charli. Sent pictures, made sure she had her snacks and food, gave her her medication when it was needed and kept me updated overall. My girl felt right at home and very loved”
About: I have professional experience caring for dogs through Wag, PetSmart, and Petco. I worked with Wag for two years providing dog walking and pet care services similar to Rover, and I also worked as a professional bather at both PetSmart and Petco. In addition, I have experience training German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois in Schutzhund-style training, which gave me hands-on experience working with strong, intelligent, high-energy dogs. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding, exercise, training, and care routines, and I take safety and each dog’s individual temperament seriously. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, structure, or simply a comfortable place to stay, I’ll treat them with the same attention and care I would expect for my own pet. I’m available throughout the week and can provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so their stay feels familiar and comfortable. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and experience handling dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. I follow feeding, medication, exercise, and crate instructions carefully, and I’m comfortable maintaining structure for dogs that thrive on a routine.
“I had to book a sitter for my dog less than a week before my flight, which is beyond stressful to experience. Not only did Scott take Charlie on last minute but he took amazing care of him as well. I’ll definitely be using Scott again in the future! Highly recommend!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Madison
We had such a wonderful experience with Lily! It was our first time using Rover, and she did a great job of keeping us informed about our pup and sent daily videos and pictures. Lily was able to handle his medication needs and diet with ease. We look forward to working with Lily and her sweet pup, Teddy, again!
We had such a wonderful experience with Valerie! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone new, especially since he’s older and a little socially awkward. But he absolutely loved her, which made us feel so much more at ease. She was very kind, attentive, and easy to communicate with. Her car was also incredibly clean, which we really appreciated when she picked him up. She was also very accommodating with our travel plans, which was so kind and made everything much easier for us. We’re so happy we found her, and we would definitely have her watch our dog again. Highly recommend!
Jasmine was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my anxious pup, Bruxer. She kept us updated regularly throughout his stay and went above and beyond to make sure all of his needs were met. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. We would definitely book with Jasmine again!
JessSharica was phenomenal! She took such good care of our fur baby while we were gone, providing regular updates, pictures, and the cutest little progress report. We knew Indi was in good hands with her family. Her dogs, Bella and Cairo, were the sweetest companions and playmates for Indi. He was super sad to leave, but it felt great knowing he was in a loving and caring environment while we were out of town. I'll definitely be using JessSharica again 🥰
Ms. Quneise was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Cody! We were visiting Nashville and needed a pet sitter for a few hours while we attended a concert. From the moment we met her, she was professional, friendly, and clearly cared about Cody's well-being. She kept us informed throughout the evening with updates, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy the concert knowing Cody was in good hands. Her communication was excellent, and it was obvious that she treated Cody with kindness and attention. We are very grateful for her help and would not hesitate to use her services again the next time we are in Nashville. Highly recommended!
Haley was amazing with Remi while we were out of town. She checked in every day and sent the sweetest pictures, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our trip. We never had a moment of worry knowing Remi was in such caring hands. We’ll absolutely book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Madison is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 per night. 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 of October 2026, there are 1,667 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Madison. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Madison can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Madison home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Madison.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Madison sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
