“Cleda took great care of our pups, Nala and Riley! She kept us updated daily with photos and had good communication with us throughout our trip away. Our pups are a handful of energy and we felt very secure with Cleda and knew that they were in good hands. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Our quirky rescue pup was so well taken care of while we were away! In every update we got it was clear that our dog was feeling more and more comfortable and was left in good hands. We will definitely book again!”
“Ruby stayed with Ben and his pack the first week in March. We were comfortable leaving Ruby with Ben. We got daily pictures and videos of Ruby getting to roam around in the fenced back yard. We know Ruby was well taken care of. We look forward to using Ben in the future.”
“Michelle and her family are the greatest. I screwed up the schedule and literally dropped my dog off at her house at 7 am ON THE WRONG DAY, and she was so accommodating, flexible, and kind about it. She took such good care of my dog Luna and provided daily updates and pictures. 100% recommend and will use her again!!”

“Mary took our dog for our wedding weekend and she was great! Pugsy had a great time with her dog, going on a walk, and going to the dog park! She sent pictures and we did not worry about Pugsy at all! We will definitely book with Mary in the future!”

She sent lots of photos and updates. We had a meet and greet on her yard so our dogs could meet hers. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Stephanie was an amazing sitter. She messaged me daily with pictures too. Walks, playtime and belly rubs were a daily occurrence with Mack. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come back home. 😊”
“My boy had the BEST time with Manjusha & Midhun! They went above and beyond caring for him - several photo/video updates, walks, treats, and cuddles. They made sure he was comfortable, loved, and spoiled as much as possible during his stay and I truly couldn’t have asked for better care. Zero complaints and highly, highly recommend! ❤️🥰”
“Lindsay was quick to respond to all my messages and made it easy to arrange drop off and pick up. She sent a number of photos of my dog and took her for a number of long walks, just what the dog needs to balance her abundance energy. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.”

“If you're seeking a loving, attentive and communicative caretaker for your dog/s, you will find all that and more with Manuela. My dogs and i spend 24/7 together and Manuela cared for my pups for the first time we were separated. Needless to say I was anxious and nervous about displacing my pups from their home, routine and familiar surroundings. With the compassion, positive and gentle energy, Manuela made the adjustment possible. Pics of the pups daily fun and nap times were always provided. I became relaxed and confident I made the right choice in selecting Manuela to create a loving home and comfortable environment for the 4 days of their "vacation", making my time away from them manageable. 🙏 Manuela and hugs from me and my pack til we see you again!”
“Finny was so happy to be back with his bestie! He was super excited to see Emily too- he gave her a big tail wag which is saved for only his favorites! I got daily play reports and didn’t worry about him one bit while I was traveling out of state. He’s in great hands with Emily and her family.”
“Katie, Samuel, and their family always take such good care of our Jarvis! They send frequent updates and always make sure that he has everything he needs to be comfortable while there. We know we can always trust them. We look forward to our next booking with them :)”
“My 4 legged member of the family had the blessing of spending the weekend with Stephanie. She kept me updated on his stay with videos and pictures. He went for walks and played in their backyard.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Madison
You couldn't ask for better puppy caregivers than Hannah and her family. I am so pleased at the caliber of people Rover has recruits. I wish I knew about you earlier. Lizzy is going to spend a week with Hannah, and she will probably want to stay with them. Thank you for this service. It has changed my life and Lizzy's as well.
Manu is our preferred sitter on Rover. She has a keen understanding of dogs needs and wants and strives to make their stay perfect!! Rosie always enjoys her stays with Manu. Her fenced back yard is a great spot to hang out and sniff around. We highly recommend Manu as a trustworthy dog sitter. I also appreciate her phot updates when my dog is there.
Juan and Gabriel are amazing! Responsive, proactive, and available. You can see the effort put into their care for our pets. Gabriel always gives me a recap at the end of her stay, especially knowing she’s sensitive to certain food. My dog has never had any large issues. I’ll continue to use Juan and Gabriel to care my dog Lola.
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 🙂↕️
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Madison on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 445 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.
