About: Hey there! I'm Lily, dog-momma to Teddy, a 2-year-old goldendoodle. I work fully remotely, so your dog will have lots of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also active, so walks and playtime are always on the agenda. I’d love to welcome your pup into my home for boarding or doggy daycare. We have a large, fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for running, playing, and getting those zoomies out. I also have the sweetest 2-year-old Goldendoodle who absolutely loves other dogs and would be thrilled to have a playmate around during their stay. I know how hard it can be to find someone you fully trust with your furry friend. My goal is to make you feel completely at ease, knowing your pup is safe, loved, well cared for, and having a great time while you’re away. I am currently working remote full time so I am very flexible when it comes to scheduling. I’ve found this makes it easy to meet all walking schedules with no stress. My safety rules: - I believe in keeping a leash on when walking - Even if your dog is kind, others might not be, so if we go to a park or go on a walk, I will always be on guard to protect your dog if the other instigates a fight - I will feed your dog by your instructions - I will only give your dog treats that you authorize, no human food - I will consistently make sure there is water for your dog
“Emily took wonderful care of my fur baby, Sugar, while we were visiting Nashville. She has a large fenced yard where the dogs can play, and I appreciated the extra safety measures she took. Emily put Sugar’s collar on in addition to her harness in case she somehow got loose, which showed me she was thinking ahead and treating Sugar like one of her own. Before I left, Emily carefully introduced Sugar to the other dogs and made sure everyone got along and that Sugar was comfortable. That gave me tremendous peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable leaving my girl in her care, and it was obvious Sugar was well loved and well cared for while we were away. I would happily trust Emily with Sugar again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and conscientious pet sitter.”
“Lauren was amazing! My dog and hers got along great and her yard is very secure. My dog was happy, fed, and extremely tired every night when I picked him up. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been living around and caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. They are truly part of my family and my happiness. I have full availability to give your furry friend all the love and attention they deserve . I can’t wait to play with your pups’! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed .. :)
“Valerie was amazing. I could not have asked for a better pet sitter. She absolutely loves and understands dogs. Had water ready for them. Took them outside to go potty as we had just got in from Gatlinburg. She kept me up to date. Will definitely use her again if we are ever in Nashville again.”
“Jonathan and Saori are wonderful caregivers for dogs! Our puppy was extremely well looked after, and calm and content when I picked her up. I trust them completely and look forward to using their services again.”
“Carolyn is very conscientious and caring, making sure she knows everything about how to take care of your fur baby. The boys had a blast with her and I got lots of pictures and videos. Thank you!”
“Olivia Benson’s tail starts wagging the second she sees her friend Monty (and Megan and Kerry, of course.) Thanks for always taking great care of our little girl!”
“We love Ashlee and Nash! Nash is so patient with our energetic puppy and I love seeing videos of them playing throughout the day. I feel comfortable knowing that our puppy is in good hands during the day!”
“Thalia is just the sweetest! I was really worried about Shelly's very first daycare and she was so kind as to send pictures and texts throughout the day. Hey yard is the perfect place for a romp and Bonnie is the most adorable playmate. We will definitely see her again soon!”
“Paris’ friendly and welcoming demeanor made me feel very comfortable for my first Rover experience. Mooney ran right up to him at first sight, and it was clear upon pickup that Mooney had a good day.”
“Michaela is awesome! She was able to help with my pup on short notice and Roxie is tuckered out after a day of play! I am able to work and know that Roxie is in great hands, gives me so much piece of mind. I am so thankful!”
“Absolutely! I cannot recommend Angeli highly enough! From the moment I entrusted my beloved furry friend into their care, I knew I had found someone truly exceptional. Angeli demonstrated not only a genuine love for animals but also unparalleled professionalism and dedication. They went above and beyond to ensure my dog's comfort and happiness, providing daily updates and photos that brought me immense peace of mind during my time away. Their attention to detail, reliability, and compassionate approach set them apart. My dog returned home visibly content, a testament to the fantastic care they received. Thank you, Angeli, for your outstanding service!”
“Christina immediately put me at ease when we arrived at her location. The way she was able to bond with Emmy Lou was pretty amazing. Emmy Lou is generally pretty shy and reserved but yet she was extremely comfortable there. That means a lot to me. Would definitely use her again.”
“Sally & Daniel are amazing! They are true animal lovers. Their energy is so comforting. I will be booking many more day-care days as well as overnights. I wish I found Sally years ago. My dog is quirky and has a couple special considerations. I feel 110% confident in Sally and the care she provides to my little guy. My dog had the best 1st day with her. He cuddled, played, napped, sunbathed, pottied, and barked. Sally texted me updates with pictures of him throughout the day, which brought me so much joy. He was sent home with a report card giving an overview of his day (love!!!!). It puts me at so much ease knowing he is taken care of like a special prince when I am not available for him. Sally is such a genuine, kind, loving person. I am excited for my dog’s next day with her (so is he)!”
“Nola had a great first day with Maggie. It made me so happy knowing she was in good hands and had a fenced in yard to play in. Maggie sent great photos all day, and Nola smelled so good at pick up! Definitely going to keep Maggie for future visits!”
“We're very pleased with Konnor's doggy daycare service. She was very accommodating of our last-minute, 1-day notice. Finn had plenty of fur friends to play with. He returned to us looking as happy as a clam! We will definitely book with her again the next time we stay in the Nashville area.”

Tara and her family were awesome! She was so accommodating with my schedule and sent lots of pictures and updates which I really appreciated. Benny had two days of daycare with them and second day I dropped him off he seemed so comfortable and happy to go back, I really felt like he was in great hands. I can’t recommend them enough!
Amanda was simply the best! We reached out pretty last minute and thankfully she was willing to accommodate. She even picked my pup up from our hotel one day to make things easier on us. Puppy got lots of outdoor time, plenty of potty breaks, and a ton of love! ❤️ We will definitely be calling Amanda again next year when we're in Nashville. Thank you so much Amanda, i don't know what we would've done without you.
Thank you Georgie and Winks! My five month old puppy - a ball of energy and curiosity, a handful at home - was greeted with and handled with open arms and loving hearts. He required and received an ever careful watchful eye. I am totally satisfied and so grateful for Georgie’s expertise, experience, and love of Shepard. Winks is an amazing steady helper and guiding playmate for my pup! I look forward to many more times there as he grows up!!
Riley was amazing with my dog, Samantha! What started as just a couple of overnights turned into a full week of care, and she handled it with so much flexibility and kindness. She kept me updated with plenty of photos, asked thoughtful questions to make sure Sam’s needs were met, and made sure she got lots of walks and attention. When she had to cancel one of the overnights, Riley even went the extra mile to drop Sam off at another Rover sitter’s house so I didn’t have to leave the conference I was attending — that level of care and consideration was a huge relief. I could tell Sam was happy and comfortable the whole time. I would absolutely recommend Riley to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Madison on Rover is $32.7 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Madison commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 dog, 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, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,218 sitters in Madison, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
