“Ashley was a huge help with our kitties the week we were away, even going out of her way to get more cat food when they unexpectedly ran out - the photos and day-to-day reports were fantastic, too. Thank you so much Ashley!!”
“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!!”
“Brooke is awesome and truly goes above and beyond. We came home to our babies feeling happy and relaxed instead of anxious like they can be when we’ve been gone. Book her today!”
“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.”
“It’s one thing to go out of town and another to go out of town without worrying that your pets will be well taken care of. A responsible, caring, and thorough sitter like Astrid will give you that peace of mind! We will certainly be contacting her again soon!”
“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!!”
“I have used Claire as a Rover before, but this most recent time really highlighted how wonderful she is. I had a different Rover scheduled during the holidays (Claire was unavailable the first portion of this time frame or I would have just had her the entire time), however, the other Rover was in an accident and could not finish out her scheduled visits. I messaged Claire and she stepped in to complete the visits while I was away. I can't thank you enough Claire for stepping up and caring for my Miso.”
“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.”
“She took such good care of my kitty, champagne, super last minute and managed to squeeze me in during a busy holiday. Grateful for her services and I will use her in the future.”
“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.”
“10/10!!! I was so nervous leaving my babies for an extended period but Yan not only kept me updated, sent lots of photos, but she went above & beyond!! I HIGHLY recommend Yan - especially if you’re an anxious furparent like myself :)”
“Aria was so lovely and communicative the entire time she was taking care of Greta! She was extremely flexible to my chaotic schedule and I couldn’t be happier! Greta was happy as can be when we got home🙂”
“I have 3 small but big personality dogs and Jessie couldn’t have taken better care of them. In the pictures of their visits I could tell just how much fun they were having. I was almost scared they’d be disappointed when she wasn’t the one walking through the door! Pick Jessie :) she’s the best”
“Eryca was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. She was nice, flexible, and great to work with. She provided detailed updates and plenty of pictures during her visits. I will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future. Thank you, Eryca!”
About: I am an energetic, patient animal lover with experience caring for pets across all ages, sizes, and activity levels. I enjoy accommodating the quirks specific to your pet and strive to create a "home away from home" environment with my care I have a very flexible and open schedule. I work from home and part-time as a yoga instructor, so pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! I care for clients' pets and homes as I would my own. My goal is to mimic your pets routine as closely as possible: food and water, litter box/potty breaks, exercise, and affection. I can administer oral medications by request.
“My little girl felt instantly comfortable with Abby and that increased over the days. I decided to not board my pup and let her have the comfort of home, and it was the right decision. Abby is considerate, observant, playful and leaves really comforting notes.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Madison is $20

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 4,081 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.
