“Astrid has been the most kind and caring pet sitter! She handled Gracie with care and comforted her in a high anxiety and stressful time. She was on time for all walks and feedings and if we ever get another opportunity, Astrid will be first on our list of people to watch our pets.”
“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🤗”
“Amanda was amazing!! We just moved to Hendersonville and had to leave dog walkers we love! Finding new people to drop in can be hard to do! Amanda was available for a meet and greet and drop in quickly. Sawyer loved her. She was also very communicative and sent pics. We will make sure to use her again!!”
About: I've been caretaker to Augie, a mixed lab, since he was eight months old. He's now a senior, so my experience runs the gamut age-wise. Augie is very social and I have therefore had a lot of experience socializing with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperments. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I take many walks during the day, and would love to walk with your furry friend. For overnights, I would simply need a good Wifi connection. I am happy to keep your dog company in your home and give pets, treats, and walks as needed. I like all kinds of dogs.
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.
About: I've had many cats, dogs and even chickens over the years. I enjoy watching family and friend’s pets for them. I have two cats to love on right now but would love to give yours some love too! ❤️ I am a retired elementary public school teacher. I work a part time job from home, so I am very flexible with my daily schedule. I can feed, water and play with your furbabies with love and care. I am a reliable and trustworthy person who has lived East Nashville my entire life.
About: We are a pet loving family who recently lost our family dog. We are hoping to help fill the void of losing our dog by loving on yours! We live in East Nashville and have a large, fenced in back yard ready for play time and potty breaks. We do have 2 younger children so we'd just need to confirm your pet is good with kids! I work from home 2-3 days per week and can arrange my schedule to be home with your pet, if needed. We can chat about how many hours and times per your dog needs to have potty breaks. We can offer walks, lots of playtime and cuddles! We have a large, fenced in back yard for the pets to run around as much as they'd like. We allow pets on furniture, if you want, or we can crate them when not home and keep to your schedule and preferences as much as you'd like!
“Amy was great! There were difficulties on our building's end with access, but she was so communicative and worked to navigate the issues. Our little man appreciated her visits, and we would be happy to have her watch him again.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life and now have a beautiful pit mix who I wish I could bring everywhere. (But when I visit your pets, mine will stay at home!) I’m happy to treat your crew with the love I wish my dog always received and the responsible care all pets need. I’m a freelancer, so I often have the flexibility to meet your schedule needs and maintain that schedule week after week so your pets are greeted by a consistent visitor and friend. I’m happy to visit your pets, let them out as needed, go for walks, administer meds, feed them, and if needed crate them so they’re cozy and safe before I leave.
“We had another great experience! Our pup was well cared for, happy, and came home tired and content. Communication was great, and we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking again! ❤️”
“We have used Megan many times in the past. We consider her to be our regular walker for our boy Kane. This year we used her on one of the biggest holidays of the year due to special family arrangements. It’s not often people will set aside time during Christmas to care for others pups but Megan did which says a lot about her. She’s the most dependable, trustworthy walker we’ve found on Rover. We have safety in knowing Megan takes good care of our boy and is safe with her.”
About: Since the age of 10, I've been pet sitting and training dogs, earning awards for excellence. I've also provided care for numerous cats and diverse dog breeds, while owning chickens, fueled by a genuine love for all animals. I’ve raised dogs from puppy stages all the way to their senior years and want to give them their best life. I currently work remote from home through the afternoon. I’m excited to get to take care of your pets and get more exercise in the day. I will give them love, exercise and a safe place to be in while their owners are out. I’m able to identify what makes them comfortable to keep them their happiest.
“Gabreal was absolutely amazing. He watched our dog for almost a week and treated her with such love, kindness and respect. He sent us photos whenever he stopped by and gave us updates on how she was doing. He even dressed her up in her little Holiday sweater for pictures for Christmas for us. Extremely communicative and so helpful. HIGHLY recommend. We will be booking again in the future.”
About: I have worked with animals for the past 19 years. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in animal science and have worked with many different species from young to old. My work experience ranges from general practice and emergency room veterinarian clinics, an animal shelter to the Knoxville zoo, and 7 years in animal agriculture. My love for all animals runs deep and through my experience I am able to administer medications, perform CPR, and just understand animal behavior all together. I personally have had two dachshunds of my own from young rescues to 17 year old seniors. I currently work remote and have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate any needs of an animal in my care. Daily walks are part of my routine regardless of the weather. I live in a home that has been converted into a duplex tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. I have a balcony allowing for outside access for bird watching or just plain old barking. I have a large backyard but not fenced. Dog beds in every room. Every animal in my care is like family meaning no couch or bed is off limits. I often plan my daily outings to allow for my animals to come with me or spend limited time alone.
About: Howdy! I am Jenna. I love all dogs! I have an English Lab who is 5 years old. We live in East Nashville and have a fenced-in yard. I work from home full-time and would love to hang out with your pup all day.
About: Nice to meet you! I go by Abe and I have about 30 years of experience with my own dogs along with several years of experience with pets of others as well.This includes pet sitting at my own home and extended pet sitting at the homes of others. I have a 6 year old black husky mix who has stolen my heart for good and keeps me on my feet playing frisbee every day. Whether your dog likes to run, play, or just the company and a belly rub, we will be fast friends. You can truly always feel assured that I will treat your dog like my own, no matter what their needs. I'd love to set up a meet and greet with you and your pup to see that we are the best fit! I have a flexible schedule and am available to give my full attention when I am with your pet. They won’t be left alone long or bored at all. I have a fully fenced in back yard that has plenty of room for the dogs to run and play in the sun and shade.

I’ve had a great experience with Astrid! She has been incredibly accommodating, helping me out with last-minute requests, which I appreciate more than she knows! She has been wonderful with both dogs, and it gives me peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands while I’m away. She’s been reliable, flexible, and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter! 🐾❤️
Dana did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats! I especially appreciated how attentive she was to Grover, who needed daily medication. She kept me updated with detailed reports throughout my trip, which gave me great peace of mind knowing they were both in good hands. I was really pleased with her communication and the care she provided. Dana will definitely be the first person I check with the next time I need a cat sitter. Highly recommend!
Jemima is attentive, thorough, and such a great listener! Brownie absolutely loves spending time with her and gets so excited every time she sees her. It’s clear how much Jemima genuinely cares, and we feel very comfortable knowing Brownie is in such good hands!
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! 💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Madison is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 per visit. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,047 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Madison. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
