“Kristina was very good with my two little dogs. Sent pictures daily. She also house set for me. The house was clean and even washed and remade the bed. I was gone 8 days. Kristina was pleasant to talk to and understood all my must haves for my babies. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have had the blessing of caring for animals my entire life. I currently have 3 cats (Larry, Curly, and Moe). Having grown up in a pet friendly household, spending plenty of time on the family farm, and working as an apprentice groomer, I have a wide variety of personal and professional experience with animals of all sizes. (To name a few: Cats, dogs, domestic and wild birds, chickens, ponies, goats, calves, and reptiles.) I have experience caring for pets of all ages/stages as well, such as bottle-feeding kittens, or administering medication and subcutaneous fluids to elderly or special needs pets. I would be more than happy to care for your pets so that you can feel at ease while you are away from your furry family member(s). As a stay-at-home mom of one, I have a very flexible schedule that I build around the needs of my clients and their pets’ needs. In-home care for my clients and their pets focuses on maintaining a stable, familiar routine for your pet(s) while providing care services according to their needs. Whether this be ensuring your pet is fed and has plenty of water (or treats if allowed), to keeping them entertained with play and belly pets. As a guest in your home, I take extra care to respect boundaries and maintain cleanliness during my visits. My dog walking services are handled with awareness and attention to our surroundings to avoid potential risks such as vehicles or other aggressive dogs. Due to our climate, during warmer seasons, I pay particular attention to ensure your pup does not become overheated. Additionally, I supply my own waste bags to dispose of waste properly.
About: My name is Madison. I have 12 years experience of working with animals. I started working at a no kill, non profit animal shelter in January 2011. I adopted a dog my first day there. I have my own pets. I have dogs, rats, hedgehog and a lizard. I've done housesitting/dog sitting jobs many of times. I run my own animal rescue. I love working with animals. I've worked at vet clinics. I use to work at a grooming and boarding place. I can also give your dog a bath if you would like to add that in your stay. this is my job as of now so i have plenty of time to care for any pets that need care. can care for other animals besides dogs and cats, small animals, reptiles, and even farm animals. i have a fenced yard for dogs being cared for in my home. i have plenty of time to do multiple check ins for pets being watched in their own homes.
“Jennifer was great with our two dogs while we were out of town for 4 days. We have one dog who has some special needs and she was excellent about giving him his meds and keeping us updated along the way. We came home to two happy pups and our house just as we left it! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Jennifer again. Thank you!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities — from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime, to senior pets who deserve extra patience and gentle care. I make it a priority to get to know each animal’s unique routine and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart I treat every pet as if they were my own family. Beyond basic walks and feeding, I focus on keeping pets happy, stimulated, and calm — whether that’s through long walks, games of fetch, or simply giving them the quiet affection they crave. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always communicative, so you’ll have peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for like a priority. I currently work part time so I will have plenty of time to give attention to the animals!! I can do feedings and walks morning and night no issues there. I have a fenced in yard, very accessible for letting animals out to go potty and my household only consists of me and my partner so there won’t be many people coming in and out of the home so there’s more consistency for the animals.
About: For over 30 years, I’ve dedicated my life to caring for animals in both professional and personal settings. I’ve worked as a groomer, grooming manager, and salon owner, handling dogs of every size, temperament, and ability. My background also includes behavior handling, training, senior‑pet support, and administering medications, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs or unique routines. I’ve trained dogs since childhood using both the Koehler method and operant conditioning, giving me a calm, confident approach that helps animals feel secure. I’ve also spent years volunteering in feral cat rescue, including trapping, transport, and pre‑surgery prep for TNR programs. That experience taught me how to read subtle feline body language, reduce stress, and create a safe environment for even the most cautious cats. Along the way, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, pigs, horses, skinny guinea pigs, chickens and lizards — and today I share my life with a Xoloitzcuintli who keeps me on my toes. Safety is always my first priority. I’m certified in canine CPR and first aid, and I previously worked as a trained EMT, which gives me a steady, prepared mindset in any situation. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, elderly, or somewhere in between, I provide calm, reliable care that keeps their routine intact and their stress low. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and understood while you’re away. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my day — it is my day. I start every morning with my chickens’ “breakfast meeting” and my Xolo’s very serious job of supervising everything I do. Three nights a week, I stay with a breeder’s pack of seventeen dogs, so juggling routines, personalities, and the occasional diva moment is second nature to me. Because animals are already woven into my everyday life, adding your pets feels like inviting another friend into the mix. Whether I’m popping in for drop‑ins or doing an overnight when your pet needs extra reassurance, they slide right into a routine that’s already built around calm, reliable, happy animal care. Caring for pets in your home is basically my favorite kind of pet‑sleepover — even when I’m not actually sleeping over. Most of the time I pop in for visits that keep your pets’ routine steady, their mood happy, and their world exactly the way they like it. I follow your instructions to the letter, from “this bowl only” feeding quirks to the sacred afternoon zoomies and the one toy they’ve decided is the center of the universe. Seniors, puppies, shy guys, and full‑blown drama queens all get calm, experienced care. And if your pet thrives with someone staying overnight, that’s absolutely an option. Either way, your home stays tidy, your pets stay content, and your phone stays full of adorable updates while you’re away.
“Courtney was absolutely amazing with our dogs, Bear and Piper! From the moment we met her, we knew they were in loving, capable hands. She was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive to both of their very different personalities, making them feel safe, comfortable, and so loved while we were away. I have pretty bad anxiety when it comes to leaving my dogs, and Courtney made the entire experience so much easier. She sent frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to actually relax knowing they were happy and well cared for. She followed all of our instructions, treated Bear and Piper like they were her own, and truly went above and beyond. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and it shows in the way she cares for them. Bear and Piper are definitely going to miss her, and we couldn’t recommend Courtney more highly. We will absolutely be booking her again and again. Thank you, Courtney, for taking such incredible care of our babies—we’re so grateful for you! - Bear, Piper, Kyle, Allie and Evelyn”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Madrid 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 Madrid 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Madrid 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
