“Jennifer has been absolutely AMAZING with our dogs!! She is always reliable, flexible, and understanding of last minute adjustments to the schedule. She takes such good care of the dogs and they love her so much! (She also takes the cutest pics of them at every visit ☺️) we would recommend Jennifer in a heartbeat and are so happy we found her!”
“Thank you again to Sarah for a wonderful sitter experience! Was sad to leave my cat at home during the holidays, but was happy to have Sarah keep her company and give her lots of love :)”
“I knew Ashley would be the perfect fit to check in on our 19 year old cat, Pumpkin, while we were out of town for 11 days. Ashley quickly responded to my inquiry, is friendly and kind, a great communicator, and flexible. She even took in our garbage cans for us. I know that Pumpkin was well cared for and received lots of attention while we were away. I loved receiving the photos of Pumpkin that Ashley sent. I highly recommend Ashley. She will definitely be my go-to sitter for Pumpkin.”
“Ashley is amazing. We’ve been having her visit with our cat Todd for over a year. He is becoming more high maintenance as he ages and now she’s been on puke duty and hasn’t questioned things one bit. She is easy to talk to and always keeps us in the loop. I highly recommend booking with her for any of your pet sitting needs.”
About: I worked 8 years, almost 9, and The Dog Hut LLC. I've helped care for dogs as young as 2 months and dogs well into their senior years. I'm happy to give medication to any dogs that need it and make sure they get extra cuddles and someone to "talk to". I am also very open to more than just dogs. I worked for 4 years at the Dane County Humane Society caring for Guinee Pigs, rats, and a non venomous snake. I am currently between jobs so any day works well for me. I'm happy to come late morning and well into the night to feed, water, and play with your pets who need that. Or just lend a happy presence, for the cats and cat-like pets who just need a simple hello. At my home I do not have a fully fenced in yard but am within walking distance of a few paths so even if your dog will be on leash they will get a wonderful walk in. Bringing their own toys and comfort items will be needed as I only have a cat currently. Also your dog must be cat friendly or will need to have a kennel brought with them should they be staying. I am okay staying over at my client's place should the need arise, can give medication and will give them all the playtime and snuggle breaks they need. I will be wary of weather changes so I can give them quick breaks outside and make sure they still can get energy out should it be an inside kind of day.
“We definitely recommend Laura. She has an upbeat personality. She was prompt in arriving for a "meet n' greet" visit and all replies to our text messaging. Our dog Maggie, related well with Laura.”
“We really appreciated Hannah. She was prompt and professional and showed immense comfort around my 3 dogs who had never been let out by someone they didn't know. I'd use her every time!”
“Alissa was wonderful as always! I’ve booked with Alissa a few times now, and she goes above and beyond with all the pictures she sends and very detailed updates after each visit. She’s helped clean up after accidents and keep my cats from getting into any mischief.”
“We have booked with Brianna a few times now. She is amazing with our cats and tortoise. She sends great notes and pictures everyday. So thankful she has been available to help when we were not home. Thank you Brianna!!”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing with our 8 month old lab pup LOVED to hang out with her. She took the best pictures during the visit which was always a joy to look at. She also asked so many great questions to get to know our puppy better and was on time/great at communication with every visit. So grateful for her help💗🌸☺️”
“Ian was fabulous with our high energy cavapoo. He showed up early to both the meet and greet and to care for him. Copper got out lots of energy and enjoyed his playtime. Thanks so much!!!”
“Samantha was wonderful! She was super communicative while doing her drop-ins and sent so many photos! My dogs seemed to love her and it made me smile to see how well they took to her. As an anxious fur mom, knowing they were in good hands was priceless. 🤍 I highly recommend her to anyone looking for car for their fur babies.”
“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.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and absolutely love them! My dog Mickey is totally spoiled, and yours will be too. One thing to know upfront: I work 8–5 Monday through Friday, so your dog would be home alone during those hours on weekdays. If that works for you, Mickey would love the company! Evenings and weekends I’m completely free and will give your pup all the attention they deserve. I work full time, but I spend my weekday mornings and evenings taking my dog to the park and playing. Weekends are always open and I would spend the whole time giving your pet all the attention!! I have a spacious apartment and make outside time a daily priority! Mickey and I are regulars at a nearby Dane County park — your dog is more than welcome to join our evening routine for some space to run and explore. If parks aren’t really their thing, I have a large outdoor area right by my apartment where they can get fresh air away from other dogs.
“Taylor was great with my cats. Very communicative and I could tell she has a lot of experience handling cats and wanting to know about likes/dislikes in order to better take care of them. I will call on her services again if needed”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life which convinced me to get my own dog a little over two years ago! I really enjoy taking dogs on walks and adventures around town. My dog is black and has thick fur so it definitely depends on the weather where we end up going on a walk (whether there is water or a shaded area). I also enjoy taking dogs to the dog park if they enjoy other pups. I can watch small dogs and big dogs (who might pull the leash a little harder). I am a teacher currently so I have the summer to have a chill job that’s flexible for my needs and other peoples needs as well. I will treat your pets as if they were my own. If you have a schedule where you need to let your dog out every other hour I can help out. I can also do something more chill where they just need to be fed early morning or late at night. Taking trips and being busy is part of life so I will help ease your stress about your little fur babies schedule.
About: I’ve cared for my own dogs for the past 8 years and have been walking dogs even longer. I currently pet sit and walk dogs (and cats!) for several families in my area. I’m responsible, flexible, and love animals of every breed and size. I’m in school and also work part time. Flexible schedule, please reach out for current availability. Im happy to find a time that works best! I’m attentive, reliable, and always put safety first. I follow pet parents’ instructions closely and make sure every walk or visit is calm, safe, and stress-free.
“Leah did a wonderful job taking care of Helen and Violet. When I returned home Helen and Vi were very mellow and relaxed because they had excellent care :) It meant so much to me to know that they were well cared for while I celebrated Christmas with my family in Oregon.”

The average cost for Pet Sitting in McFarland on Rover is $13.91 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,583 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across McFarland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a McFarland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in McFarland. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
