About: I have taken care of my family and friends pets for many years. I try my best to understand the pets energy that they display and follow any directions given by the owner that makes the pet feel comfortable and safe. I work as a baker so I have several days where I am done with work either by 11 AM or 1 PM. I am also occasionally available all day on Fridays. I respect the directions given by the owner and try my best to understand the energy given by the pet I am sitting. I do not want to cross any boundaries that make the pet feel unsafe. I am patient with pets and try my best to make them feel comfortable and loved.
About: Designated dog carer for family, so I figured I would expand the circle. I love going for walks and love taking a pup with me. I am working a full-time job. Mondays and Fridays, I am available from 6 am to 9:30 am. On Tuesdays through Thursdays, I am available anytime after 5:45 pm. Usually available anytime on the weekends for pet care and walking. My full-time job requires me to have respect and care for people's private information, so you can count on me to show the same respect and care for in-house sitting.
“Blanca was amazing - super reliable and responsive! Our cat is usually grumpy, but Blanca is a natural and the cat LOVED her. Great updates and photos with each visit. Will definitely book again!”
About: Have three dogs and four cats and have fostered more than 100 animals. Whether babies or seniors, we have the patience and experience to care for your animals while you are away! We work from home, so available to care for your pets in your home or in ours. In our home, cat sitting is preferred. If needing assistance in your home, we would be glad to assist you with your dogs and cats! In our home, we have a fenced in backyard and allow the animals free range of the home. Pets are on scheduled feeding times, and the dogs also receive regular walks. If you have specific dietary concerns with your animals or scheduled activities, we will ensure those needs are met.
“River did an excellent job watching our three cats! River was dealing with some family things & had to change the booking last-minute but was so communicative & helpful in working out a contingency plan, which was GREATLY appreciated. Would happily recommend!”
About: We currently have one little dog of our own and have 6 years of experience on Rover. My hubby and I have trained and taken care of puppies as well. We have taken care of pets of all ages and sizes, including birds/parrots (we used to have a parrot!). When we are available and not working, we enjoy taking care of pets in the capacity of walking, drop-ins, or daycare. Depending on the services needed, we are open to all types of pets, sizes, and ages. We are allergic to cats so cannot do daycare at our place for cats but we can drop-in to feed cats. We live in an apartment so do not have a yard but do have plenty of places to walk. If doing daycare, we play, take walks, and snuggle with the dogs! We can only take small dogs into our small apartment for daycare but for services of walking and/or drop-ins, we can do dogs, cats, and other pets of all sizes and ages.
“Elizabeth was so great and accommodating!! Prompt communication and did a fabulous job with my cat. She provided a peace of mind while I was away.”
“Mary did an excellent job cat sitting. My cat loves her. She was on time all the time and sent pictures and updates with every visit. She was able to work with my changing schedule and made the process a great experience. Mary is my go-to cat sitter now. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 5 years old. I grew up in the country in Texas and at one point we had around 20 cats and 9 dogs. We took care of the strays that made their way onto our property, and sometimes adopted from shelters and random people. I was taught love and compassion for animals since I was a young child. I continue to embrace the kindness I have in my heart for animals everyday. I’m usually available most of the time, as I don’t have any full time work to tend to. I also do not celebrate holidays which can benefit pet owners very much because they can count on me being available as long as I have not already booked with someone else. I would be wonderful to your pup insuring they get enough potty breaks, walks if you would like, maybe the dog park upon your approval, and even car rides if you’d like! I offer complimentary treats.. I keep some in my home. And of course I would get them approved by my client first. For cats in my clients home, I would do the same things. I would also insure the cat box is clean, and lots of play time if that’s what the kitty likes :-)
“Lynne was absolutely amazing!!! It was as so comforting knowing that our little Riley was taken so well care of while we were out with friends. The pictures and follow up notes on their time together was wonderful to receive. We will definitely be booking with Lynne again. She truly cares about our furry family members”
About: Growing up my parents would not allow me to get a dog. I walked the neighbors dogs and they said that was the same as having my own. Not really. Lol. Since grade school I have watched friends and family's dogs over the course of weekends, and multiple week vacations. I have always wanted a dog but I don't have the time currently due to my career. I have two cats. Baloo the panther looking cat, and Bubba, a pure bred benegal. I have an 8 month old daughter and my fiancée is a teacher, so I need to schedule well in advance. I would love to build a client base for walking in my neighborhood. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions or concerns prior to booking. Thanks for taking the time to review my profile! I work full-time from home. Depending how far away the pet is, I could possibly check in most times of the day during the week. I would be free most weekends. I am basically looking to build a client base in my neighborhood. I have been responsible for pets my whole life. Safety is number one to me. I would treat your fur baby like my own. Ask away
About: Hi! I’m Madison, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for animals in both shelter and home settings. I volunteered with Shelter from the Storm Animal Rescue as a behavioral assessor, where I was trained to observe animal behavior, body language, temperament, and individual needs. I also helped write biographies for adoptable animals, which gave me even more experience getting to know animals as individuals and understanding their personalities and needs. My family also fostered animals, so I’m very comfortable working with anxious, shy, or nervous pets. I understand that some animals need extra patience and time to feel comfortable with a new person. I’m very in tune with animal behavior and pay close attention to body language, comfort levels, routines, and changes in behavior so I can help your pet feel safe and relaxed. I work a hybrid-remote job and am only in the office one day a week, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care. For pets who need more attention, I can arrange my schedule to spend two half-days with them, leaving for about four hours at a time to go in office. This allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day while still giving your pet plenty of company and supervision. I’m absolutely comfortable working with anxious, fearful, or timid animals and will give them the patience and space they need to feel comfortable. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and in good hands while you’re away! I work a hybrid-remote job and work from home four days a week, with only one day in the office. Because of my flexible schedule, I can spend two half-days at work, stepping away for about four hours at a time to go into office. I’m happy to work with you to create a routine that keeps your pet comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. My background as a trained animal behavioral assessor helps me recognize signs of stress, fear, discomfort, or overstimulation and adjust my approach accordingly. I’m especially comfortable with shy or anxious animals and will never force interaction before they are ready. I prioritize safe handling, secure doors and gates, and making sure pets cannot accidentally escape. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, following your instructions, and making sure everything is as you left it when I leave. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: Hello, my name is Katy and I would love to care for your dog! I just finished a term with AmeriCorps and now work part-time in the service industry. My flexible schedule means I am free to walk or watch your pup! I understand that caring for your dog means understanding their individual needs. Please don't shy away from telling me your dog's specific needs and quirks. I want to make caring for your dog a great experience for both pet andowner. I bring passion and professionalism to this job and absolutely enjoy what I do. I have had dogs all my life and currently have an elderly chihuahua. Because of his health concerns and age, I'm not currently boarding dogs at my home. However, I would love to walk and sit your pups and can assure they will get attentive and safe care.

Keely was the BEST with Fish! She arrived promptly for both drop-ins, took him for a great walk each time, and sent super detailed reports so that I could have peace of mind while I was away for the night. Fish absolutely loved her and she sent tons of pictures/videos to keep me up to date. She also got my historically finnicky cat to come out of hiding and hang out with her! She was excellent, responsive, and incredibly kind to my animals and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thanks, Keely!
Blanca was great taking care of my dog! She sent lots of picture updates and snuggled up with him, which is really all I needed. Finn really seemed to like her, and she went out of her way to train and clean up a pet stain (which wasn’t her fault at all). I’d definitely book with her again!
Alex was great and took wonderful care of my K9 child. He was great about communicating and providing photos during check-ins etc. I would highly recommend Alex as a trustworthy, professional pet sitter to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. Will book him again!
Kali was so great doing some drop-ins for my pup while I was out of town for a weekend. I had never done drop-in care before, so I was a little nervous, but Kali's updates and photos eased any anxiety that I had, and I knew my pup was well taken care of. Kali did not skimp on walks and Cricket was a happy pup when I got home. Thank you for everything!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Monona 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.
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 Monona 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Monona with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

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.
