“Sofi took incredible care of our girl! She was always responsive and sent us frequent updates where I could see how happy Kiwi was. She is very knowledgeable about pet care and I would trust her with Kiwi anytime! Thank you again for giving so much love to Kiwi!!”
“Olivia watched my cat, Tony, for 8 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care alongside her two cats. I received daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Tony was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. 10/10!”

“We love this sitter! Juan and Gabriel have become our go-to sitter! Our dog (who has severe social anxiety) absolutely adores them! I would highly recommend booking with them! They are very accommodating for a last minute night out, being late for drop off, or having special requests! Overall great and compassionate people to be around!”
“We love Margaret & so does our pup, she’s at ease whenever she gets to the house and sees her favorite dog sitter. She’s the only Rover we choose and we couldn’t be happier with her excellent care!”

“Beatrice did a great job watching over Chopa :) She sent messages and pictures to provide updates during the boarding which was great! I would definitely reach out to her again when we need boarding service again”
“We left our dog Toffee with Jenny and her family for 5 days while we attended a work conference, and we could not have asked for a better experience! This was our first time using Rover and leaving Toffee with someone we didn’t know, so we were definitely nervous at first. Jenny immediately made us feel comfortable with constant updates, pictures, and videos throughout the entire stay. Toffee had the absolute best time running around in her huge backyard, playing with her kids and her two dogs, and getting so much love and attention. It truly felt like he was treated as part of their family. You can tell Jenny genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing Toffee was happy, safe, and so well cared for. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be booking with Jenny and her lovely family again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Robert did an excellent job hosting our dog for a week at his house. We received regular updates with photos and he was incredibly responsive, always replying in a timely fashion. When we first met, he struck me as a true "dog person" which is what we wanted! I would recommend Robert to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

Kiki did a wonderful job taking care of my husky, Saito, while I was away on my trip. There was an unexpected incident where Saito got into the dishwasher and became sick. Kiki handled the situation with great care, checking on him multiple times throughout the day to monitor his condition and make sure he didn't need to be taken to the vet. Thankfully, he started feeling better and made a full recovery. Throughout my trip, Kiki kept me updated with regular messages and sent plenty of photos of Saito having fun, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It's clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Kiki to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter 🙂↕️
Gabriel was very attentive. Sent videos and photos of my baby. This was the 1st time I have left her with anyone that she wasn't familiar with, she was well taken care of and I will definitely be using them again. Thank you so much for loving/caring for her in my brief absence for a funeral.
Hannah was amazing in a tough situation! Our dog was recently sprayed by a skunk. Multiple bathes abated the smell but left him with pretty bad skin infection. She was still willing to look after him, and our othe dog. They were both happy and healthy at pick up. Can't thank her and her family enough!
Adam and Alina were great with my dog! I got regular updates with how he was doing during the stay, and a full report from their daughter at pickup 😊 Zissou has stayed with them before and was excited at drop off to have another stay, which helped me feel at ease (sometimes people have separation anxiety too). I absolutely plan to use Adam and Alina again the next time I need a dog sitter!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Madison
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Madison on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 466 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Madison. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
90% of Madison sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Madison landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Madison home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Madison.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Madison sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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 WI 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
