About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have always had a genuine love for caring for them. I currently have pets of my own and also have experience house-sitting for families with multiple dogs and cats. I’m comfortable managing different personalities, routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. I also regularly care for a dog with significant allergies, which has taught me how important it is to follow a pet parent’s instructions carefully and pay close attention to each animal’s individual needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their pets are being cared for, loved, and treated like my own while they’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care around my other commitments. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight house sitting depending on the dates needed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible so their routine stays consistent while you’re away. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, allergies, routines, and any special needs. I always prioritize safety, keep the home secure, and give each pet the individual attention they need. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: Hello! My name is Noelle and I am an experienced sitter. I have had many animal companions my whole life including reactive dogs, small/medium/large dogs. I currently have a 100lbs Dogo Argentino and can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m currently getting my masters online so I am available during all hours of the day to look after your companion! Potty breaks are easy and frequent. I have a huge love for animals and seek to give them a comfortable, happy experience while you’re occupied. I have an unfenced yard, a beautiful walkable neighborhood, and treat each furry friend with all the love, care, patience, and respect they deserve from their sitter!
“We’ve used Sabrina and Daniel a bunch of times and feel so at ease with them with our dogs at this point. The dogs seem so happy with them and they provide so many pictures and great updates!”
“Although I hate to say this out loud for fear of them booking up too fast 🤫 they were wonderful… faced with wind, rain and a power outage not to mention a lively 9 month old pup, they took great care of him. They also shared some practical training tips! I would not hesitate to call on them again!”
“Bailey was wonderful and our pets took to her immediately. She was very attentive and checked in with us regularly, sending pictures of them playing as well as sleeping peacefully. We know they were well taken care of.”
“Kimberly was great with my 3 dogs. She walked my larger, younger dogs and connected with my elderly, small dog. All were happy! Additionally, she brought down the garbage cans after pickup and the house was immaculate! Great experience!”
“Dina took such good care of our fur babies! We had no worries while on vacation and she checked in with photos (and dressed our pups up for Fourth of July too!) We lost power at our house on the last day, and Dina was fantastic at keeping us updated and making sure our pups were safe! 💞”
About: I love playing outside and going for walks. I’ve taken care of family and friends dogs for years and will spoil your doggie with attention. As a pet parent who has used Rover in the past, I know what works and what doesn’t (like 11pm drop ins) and I will take the best care of your pet. I work full time from home and so I have the availability to stop by throughout the weekdays to take care of your pet! I also have free weeknights and weekends. I live close to the Farmington canal and can take your dogs for walks as needed! I will always follow your comfort level and will care for your fur babies as you wish.
“Matthew was easy to work with and excellent with our dogs. They clearly loved the week he spent here with them. Their raw diet did not bother him at all. He was also respectful of our home, leaving everything clean and organized. Nothing but praise.”
“Christine was so accommodating, we had to book last minute and we could not be more pleased. Murphy was well cared for. We are so thankful we found her and we will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have years of experience dog-sitting and cat-sitting for friends and clients, often staying at their homes to make sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away.

I'm committed to reliable communication, sharing updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. By allowing each pet to approach me at their own pace, I foster trust and a positive bond, ensuring they feel comfortable and relaxed in my presence. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities.
About: As a lifelong animal lover with a calm, attentive nature, I treat every pet like my own—giving them personalized care, patience, and affection. What sets me apart is my ability to quickly build trust with both pets and their owners, creating a stress-free experience for everyone.

About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years, caring for everyone from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m comfortable giving medications, cuddling with cats, walking with dogs, keeping pets company, and following routines that make them feel at home. And I keep it fun because pets are funny, and I genuinely love hanging out with them. I am here for your pets! I work remotely as a writer so can keep them company, play, exercise, couch chill, give meds, send you way too many photos!! Up early. Happy to follow your preferences in your home. Every pet is different and I will make sure they get the TLC, meals & more that they need.
About: I've cared for cats, dogs, mini ponies, horses, chickens, cows, mini pigs, pot-bellied pigs, and tortoises after living on a working ranch with a wide range of animals. There isn’t a fur baby too small or too big that I can’t handle. I have an open schedule and can work with any routines. I can be up early or out late. And I can keep to any personal schedule your fur babies have. I have indoor kennels and outdoor kennels, multiple leashes and harnesses, and a large property to run around on. My house is extremely pet-friendly; snuggles on the couch are encouraged!

The average cost of House Sitting in Madison Center is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $67 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Madison Center walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Madison Center maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Madison Center choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
