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.
About: 22 -year-old college student who loves animals! Reliable, caring, and ready to provide your pets with the love and attention they deserve. Hope you’ll give me a chance! Being a 22-year-old college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care daily. I prioritize giving pets the attention, exercise, and care they need, and I enjoy fitting this rewarding work into my routine alongside my studies and work. I ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether in my home or the client’s. At home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention and playtime. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines and instructions closely to maintain consistency and prioritize the pet’s well-being.
“Yan did a great job with my two cats! One of my cats is really particular about things and she adjusted great to his needs. So so happy with her! I could travel with the peace of mind that my babies were well taken care of! Highly recommend, especially for owners with more particular cats!”
“Dana visited our 2 kitties four evenings over the Christmas Holiday. She fed, gave water, dealt with the litter, and played with them. They both seemed as comfortable as their natures allow in dealing with a new person, and we had pics after each visit. I would recommend her to visit with your pets too.”
“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.”
“Eryca was a phenomenal caregiver to Luca m, she provided the attention, love, care and communication I expected. Moving forward I will use her again. In the future!! Thank you so much 😊”
“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! 💕”
“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!!”
“Sarah has been an incredible carer for our two cats. She spends quality time with my aging darling cat, Sophie, and meets our sometimes hiding, sometimes curious, sometimes frisky cat, George, wherever he is that day. She has great communication. We trust that our animals are in great hands when we’re away.”

Claire did a wonderful job taking care of Milo while we were away for over a week. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly cared for him as if he were her own. We had great peace of mind knowing Milo was in such good hands. Everything went smoothly, and we came home to a happy, well-taken-care-of pup. We truly appreciate her excellent care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. 🐾
Matt was awesome with my 2 bulldogs. One is a senior and the other a young rescue bully with high energy and anxiety. Both dogs can be anxious I’m their own way, and Matt was great with each. I felt very comfortable having him care for my ‘drama dogs’ and would recommend for future drop ins or sittings.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,106 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Madison. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Madison stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
