Dog Sitting in Madison

“Kali was incredible! She took so many awesome photos of our cats, and stayed for a while each day to let our our kitten interact with our adult cat! She even cleaned up some throw-up, and scooped litter most days (we didn’t ask her to do that). Would absolutely love to rebook with her!”

About: Hi all, my name is Alina and I’m new to Rover :). I have been a reliable dog/cat sitter for family, friends, and co-workers for a few years. I am a respectful, friendly, animal-loving soul that is free all summer to care for pets and make them feel safe and happy! I am starting medical school in the fall so I am excited to get some time with furry friends this summer. I love getting animals outside for walks and playtime. I am happy to work with pets of all ages. I am not working any particular job this summer other than pet-sitting. With this, my schedule is very flexible and I’m available just about any day of the week/weekends except a few select dates. I’m happy to work early mornings and late nights too if needed. At my client’s home, I care for pets by following their feeding routine, brushing their fur, and incorporating lots of playtime and exercise. While I haven’t been previously asked, I would also be happy to bathe pets if requested!

About: Hi! I have been fostering and caring for animals from a very young age. I have experience fostering three cats (at different times) needing specialized medical attention including surgery recovery, wound care, and giving medicine via syringes. I've also fostered a young beagle along with her 7 puppies, caring for them when they had fleas and completing nail trims. Aside from fostering, I have babysit both cats and dogs for my neighbors and my family had a black lab mix who passed away at 13 years old. I'm currently working remote and part-time, so I have very open availability. Right now I walk dogs from 11-12 p.m. every weekday, but other than that I am almost always open. I have a great attention to detail, so I will make sure to review any specialized requests and notes from you before starting. I will care for you pets how I care for all animals, with patience and compassion. If you would to see more of my professional experiences please message me and I can share my LinkedIn or resume.

“Natalie was great! She made me feel comfortable leaving my cat and kept me updated on how she was doing. She sent lots of pictures and Ginger seemed happy and well cared for when I came home. She also handled some of Ginger's spicier behaviors super well.”

“Jolie was great with my three dogs. They clearly enjoyed her visits with her and she sent me lots of pictures. Followed all the notes I left and I felt very confident and comfortable with her caring for my pack.”

“Seanna was great with my cat and was super adaptable on short notice, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend her and I’ll certainly reach out next time I’m away!”

“Sarah and her family took great care of our two cats. When we arrived home from an overseas trip, they were happy and healthy and acted like we never left. Thanks so much to you and your children for taking excellent care of our cats!”

“We’ve now had Tara look after our cats multiple times, and she does a phenomenal job every time. She makes sure they get all the play and attention they need, and we trust that she’ll let us know right away if anything seems amiss. We always come home to happy kitties!”

About: I have been taking care of friends, neighbors, and family pets since I was 12 and have loved each moment I spend doing so! I would routinely do check-ins for some pets, occasional overnight stays, and regular walking for all dogs! I have a wide experience with dogs of all ages and sizes! I am a full time student with a part time job at a research lab studying biomedical imaging! I often have free time in my weekend schedule and open windows throughout the week as well where I would love to take the opportunity to get some exercise with someones dog and get some additional cash as well! I familiarize myself with all tools and equipment that the pet is used to or uses often. I make sure that both the pet and I are comfortable with each other first! In terms of care, I always make sure that the pet has water and food (if requested at a certain time or as needed) along with additional stimulation if needed!

“Annika was super helpful in taking this last minute job. She responded quickly and I enjoyed the photo update of Duchess that she sent. Highly recommend Annika and will book with her again.”

About: I am a dog, cat and pet lover. I will stop 10/10 times to pet a dog and learn about him or her. At the local park, I know most of the dogs by their names and ironically, few of the owners haha. I would love the opportunity to spend time with someone's best friend and help out! I am very attentive, detail oriented and careful with animals. I also know animals are more than "pets" they are just like family. I would be honored to help take care of someone's best friend for a few hours or days to help out. I offer a safe, secure space for someones pet as well as close access to a park and outdoor space. I am available for walks as well as for visits or assistance on Fridays and most weekends. I believe dogs help people just as much as people help dogs! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to accommodate pet parents and their schedules as needed. I am able to offer short or longer walks, pet sitting and other services as needed. In my home, I have a clear open space and am able to spend close time with my clients pets while they are in my care. We are just a short distance to a small park with plenty of outside walking options. We can sit and watch tv, play catch, or take naps.

“Katherine visited our 2 cats while we were away and did an amazing job! She was super communicative and sent us a lot of photos! Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I used to be around six dogs at a time, from small to large breeds. I’ve worked to train 2 different dogs in the last 6 months and currently have my own 2 puppies. I’m currently working part time 2 days a week. I don’t schedule dogs those days; I only accept pets on my days off, ensuring that I will have plenty of time to spend with your loved one. I can easily crate, leash up, and walk dogs as needed. I will work on some skills if wanted, ensuring some trust and respectful relationship. I’ll love your pups like they are my own!

“Eden was very lovely. My dog loved having her and she was very accommodating with my schedule.”

About: With my lifelong experience around animals and natural ability to connect with them, I'd be an awesome pet sitter! My genuine love and understanding of their needs would make any pet feel safe and cared for. I currently do school during the week. After school or on the weekends I am free! I can do anything you could need. My schedule is pretty empty after school. I can walk, pet, feed, basically everything your pet could want or need. If your animal is super energetic, I can take them and play!

“I can't praise enough how well she took care of Lexi and Benji. Besides the basics, Jordyn really took the time to play with both of them, and it showed as nervous little Lexi even played with her -- she's never done that yet with anyone but me! She's also very prompt and clear in communication. Sent me lots of action shots of the kittens playing. Definitely would have her sit the cats again!”

About: I have been caring for dogs since 2013, starting when I was just 9 years old! In 2010, we rescued our first dog, Belle, a rat terrier. In 2021, we adopted another senior dog, Destiny, a miniature poodle, to keep Belle company. Sadly, they both passed away due to old age in 2024. The following summer, my family and I realized how incomplete our lives felt without dogs, so we decide to rescue two more senior dogs, Beanie and Pam! I am heartbroken to say Pam passed away May 17, 2026. My family believes that senior dogs are often overlooked and forgotten, but I love dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I look forward to the opportunity to take care of your furry friend! I will be taking asynchronous summer classes starting in mid-June. I’m hoping to start working as a PCW twice a week. I’m also waiting to hear back from research/phlebotomy positions. However, as of now, I am completely free all day every day! Studio apartment! Can take outside for walks etc. I want to ensure I’m home the whole time since it will be a new environment! Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter! I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry friend.

“Such a well dog sitter! Came to meet my dog and asked a lot of good questions on how to provide and care for my dog! She came did her thing just like how I told her and she went beyond! Gave me a lot of photos during the care and a lot of note taking on how my dog was! Definitely will book again and recommend her!”

“Mallory went above and beyond while cat sitting for me! I highly recommend her!”

“Oh gosh don’t know where to start. Jen has amazing updates and communicates great with us and is amazing with our pets. She shares some of the best photos I have of my own pets. We had an issue traveling that affected our times and she was able to make great accommodations with us for our pups.”
