“Astrid did a great job taking care of my two dogs while I was away for the weekend! She showed up on time for every visit and sent plenty of pictures and updates. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“My cat warmed up to her after just one day, which is huge! Hannah took care of my girl just the way I requested, and kept me informed of everything. I’ll definitely use her services again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Yea, I found a new pet sitter! My previous pet sitter, who I loved, recently retired from pet sitting so I was left with the task of finding a replacement who could fill her shoes. I found that and more with Sarah! She did an awesome job taking care of my cat Smokey. Very thorough and professional covering all the needed bases. I highly recommend her if you're looking!”
“Amanda has been great with my dog Herbert! He looks forward to seeing her everyday. She sends lots of pictures and updates. She even helped when my dog had an accident in his crate. We love her!”
“Bryanna was very prompt, detail oriented and caring during the three drop in visits we requested this past weekend. She was also wonderful to agree to a meet & greet beforehand and it made me feel great to also read the other reviews she has received from other clients! Highly recommend!”
“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.”

“Yan was amazing! She was able to do a last-minute drop-in visit for us and took such great care of Chiquito. He was instantly obsessed with her, and it was clear he felt super comfortable right away. She sent tons of adorable photos and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication was excellent, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ll definitely be booking with Yan again!”
“This was my first time ever leaving my boy with a sitter while being out of town and I couldn’t have asked for a better one! Through great communication, pictures and punctuality, Jessie relieved my worries and took great care of my dog. He loves her too!!”
“Kendall was so great with my fur babies! During our meet and greet, I immediately knew she was a good fit because my typically grumpy Lola immediately warmed up to her. I’m convinced all three of my babies were disappointed when I came home because they were hoping it was Kendall.”
“Absolutely amazing cat sitter! Rae took such great care of Curie while I was away and gave me so much peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure Curie had fresh food, water, and a clean litter box every day. I could tell she genuinely cared, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. I would absolutely recommend Rae to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to watch their pets!”
“Laura is quick to communicate and so friendly and caring. She made us feel completely at ease while being away from our beloved cats for nearly 2 weeks. Will definitely use her services again!”
“I knew Mona was in great hands with Kristen! She is a great communicator and took good care of my sweet girl. I loved seeing all of the pictures she sent of her visits! Would highly recommend her to you!”
“Ashley was incredible and was everything we could have asked for! Super responsive, caring, timely, respectful, and the best experience we have had using a pet sitting app. We will definitely be a repeat customer and so thankful we were lucky enough to find Ashley!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Madison
Hailey was awesome! She was very responsive and went out of her way to accommodate our needs. We made a couple of changes to our initial request and she not only helped make the changes, but was available to sit with Rhett. I had never used Rover before, but we are traveling this summer in our RV and being able to find someone in the area was so nice and Rover made that possible. Many thanks to Rover and to Hailey. We would definitely use her again if we are ever in the Nashville area.

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 4,163 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.
