“Hailey was amazing with my two cats! From the photos she shared, I could tell that they were completely happy and comfortable with her. She sent detailed reports and lots of photos, which gave me peace of mind that the kitties were doing well while I was away. Thank you, Hailey!”

About: I have had dogs since my childhood and have worked with breeds of different sizes and backgrounds, including some with special needs. In my home life, I have two cats that I adore and spend much of my free time with. I’m available all day on weekends, as well as from 5:30pm onward on weekdays (typically). If you have specific requirements for your animal let me know and we can create a schedule that works best for you! I can perform any specific needs that your pet may need. One of my own pets has special medical requirements, so I am familiar with taking care of animals that need extra care.
“Ashley was so wonderful, she took such good care of my kitty and she was helpful when plans got switched up. She was always happy to step in and help. I will definitely book Ashley again!”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals including cats and dogs throughout my life. These animals have had varying temperaments and care requirements giving me a range of care experiences. I am a college student who is busy for some part of the morning and afternoon but can drop in about three times a day. In my own home, I have two cats and grew up with two dogs. Frequent walks for the dogs and enrichment for the cats are a staple.
About: Dogs control my life! By day I am a receptionist at a local vet clinic/rescue. At home, I have a rescue Chihuahua who is 8 years old and has been with me for 4 wonderful years. My whole day revolves around pets and I can't get enough. I'll treat your pets like the sweet baby angels they deserve to be! I work a later schedule most days of the week, Monday through Thursday I'm in the clinic until 7, and Fridays 9-5. I have plenty of time for morning and night walks, breakfast and dinnertime! I treat my clients home better than my own. You won't even know I was there! I'm clean, respectful and knowledgeable. I will stick with you and your pets daily schedules, so their routines don't get disturbed.
“On a scale from 1 to 10, Madi is an 11. Madi was wonderful as a pet sitter for my 13 year old Chihuahua Punto. I had total confidence and trust in Madi taking care of Punto after the meet & greet. Madi was exceptional and I would highly recommend her services. I appreciate Madi and am so grateful that Rover has her as a pet sitter!”

“Stacy was so helpful and responded quickly with our last minute request. She did a fantastic job taking care of our flock of backyard chickens and our blind cat, catering to special instructions and sending the best photos. We really appreciate her help!”

“Absolutely great! Extremely communicative and understanding. I can tell my boys were very well taken care of and without a doubt I would ask her to watch my senior boys. I absolutely loved her write up of how the walks went. I can't say enough good things about Cynthia.”


About: I have 10 years of experience by caring for puppies, seniors, and the ages in between. I also love playing, cuddling, and going for walks! I am currently in college so Monday and Friday after 1:30pm I am available. Then on Tuesday and Thursday from 08-1200. If you are interested in hours outside of this just let me know! I am very comfortable with all different types of animals and love to care for them. Sadly they will not be able to come to my apartment due to my roommate’s allergies.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up with multiple family dogs, mostly larger breeds. After college, I adopted a dog of my own who was by my side for 10 wonderful years. I've also spent the past decade volunteering at local animal shelters, which has given me hands-on experience with dogs of every size and temperament, from tiny pups to gentle giants. Along the way, I've learned how to work with nervous or anxious dogs, administer medication, and care for the specific needs of senior dogs. Whatever your dog needs, chances are I've handled something similar. I can't wait to meet your pup and give them all the love they deserve! My schedule is very flexible, which makes it easy for me to work pet care into my day. My day job is fully remote, so I'm able to build walks and drop-in visits around my work rather than being tied to a rigid 9-to-5. Right now I have even more flexibility, since I'm between roles, so I can typically accommodate last-minute requests or visits at times that might be trickier for others to fit in. Since I offer drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting, I spend most of my time in your home rather than mine — so keeping things safe and familiar for your pet is my main focus. - I go over feeding, medication, and routine details with you before I start, so nothing gets missed - I double-check leashes, harnesses, and collars before every walk - I lock up and secure the house every time I come and go - I'm comfortable with nervous or anxious dogs — I read their body language and never rush them - I can manage medication schedules and give senior dogs the extra care they need - I send photo and video updates so you always know how your pup is doing - I keep your vet's info on hand just in case Your home, your routine, your dog — I just fold right in and keep things running smoothly while you're away.
“Cheyenne watched our two cats for a week. She was punctual and consistent, and excellent with communication. I loved the detail in her Rover cards, and it reassured us that the cats were doing well. You can tell she loves animals and knows how to interact with them. Even my shyest cat was keen to see her. I would highly recommend her and we will be contacting her the next time we go out of town!”

About: I have loved and cared for animals of all kinds since I was five years old. Currently, I am a proud pet parent to three dogs and an indoor/outdoor cat. I am also the go-to pet sitter for my extended family, regularly caring for a wide variety of pets—from my younger brother’s Husky to my older brother’s three cats and Miniature Poodle, as well as my parents’ two senior dogs (including one with special needs who wears a leg brace). My oldest dog, Rizzo, a Chihuahua mix, celebrated her 15th birthday in May 2026 with a full "Quinceañera" alongside our human and fur family! Over the years, caring for Rizzo through various health challenges has made me exceptionally comfortable with special-needs pet care. When she was 9, she underwent successful CCL surgery, followed by a full recovery supported by daily physical therapy. At age 13, she overcame IMHA following her annual vaccinations; after a year of dedicated care, she is now in full remission and thriving. Rizzo shares our home with two loving, playful pup siblings: Mogie (11) and Buddy (5). We also have a sweet rescue cat named Gizmo, who joined our family after a neighbor passed away. Known locally as the "Neighborhood Cat," Gizmo loves fishing on docks, making friends with neighborhood kids, and coming inside each evening for dinner and snuggles. All of my pets are wonderful with children. As a licensed Foster Parent since 2024 specializing in infants and toddlers, I maintain a safe, nurturing home environment. Having recently stepped away from a high-stress career, I am dedicating my time to work I truly love: providing attentive, high-quality care to both children and animals. Note, I am Cat and Dog First Aid and Adult, Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED through the Red Cross. I hope to meet you soon! Jena I am currently on a career sabbatical, which gives me complete flexibility during regular business hours while my foster children are at school or daycare. I am available for drop-ins and pet walks anytime between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Safety, loving care, and routine are my top priorities during every drop-in visit and walk. I genuinely adore all animals and treat every pet with individual affection, patience, and warmth. I am happy to adapt to the unique needs of senior or special needs pets, ensuring proper medication administration, gentle mobility support, or a calm environment. I strictly follow your guidelines for feeding, walking routes, and house rules. After every visit, I will secure your home, send a detailed update with photos, and share feedback on how your pet did so we can continuously coordinate and fine-tune future visits.

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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Monona
Stephanie was fantastic with my dog! I scheduled a drop in since I was going to be out of town and she was very helpful and took him outside and fed him. There was clear communication throughout the time spent leading up to the visit. I'm very grateful Stephanie was able to help on short notice. I definitely recommend her! She made my dog feel at ease while I was gone and she clearly has a lot of experience helping pets.

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!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
