“Darby was so great! She let our three dogs out for a potty break after my dog just had surgery and took great care of him. She did a lot for my dog with him needing help using the bathroom and wearing post surgery clothes/cone. She was super loving and friendly with the dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Vanessa really has a way of putting me and the cats at ease. She was very professional during the meet and greet, took notes while I explained the feeding routine and asked relevant questions. I left for my trip knowing the cats would be in good hands. She also takes great pet photos. I felt like she really respected each of my cats and their individual boundaries. I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone needing cat care.”
“Alissa was very communicative during her check-ins with my cats. She sent lots of pictures and videos which was reassuring to know my cats are in good hands :) Will definitely rebook next time I’m out of town!”
“Sofi was patient and caring for my dog. My dog warmed up to Sofi more and more each drop in visit. She was great at communicating and sent adorable pictures. Very reliable!”
“Amazing duo! So grateful for them watching my pup, they took such good care of her, were super communicative and my dog loved them!! Can’t wait to have them come back”
“Joanna was FANTASTIC! The cats clearly enjoyed her company, and she sent wonderful photos, played with the kitty boys a lot, even brushed the cat when we didn’t ask! A+ would recommend!”
“Kathryn is amazing. Extremely attentive to my baby’s needs and super flexible with our schedule. Her communication goes beyond expectation and has made our experience of rover great!”
“Jennifer was great to our kitties! She was super responsive and left us an awesome note after her visit, with photos. We would definitely have her drop-in on our kitties again!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with 6 dogs and counting, so caring for your pup comes naturally to me. At 18, I may be young, but my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities means your dog is in capable, loving hands. Whether I’m stopping by for a drop-in visit, spending the day together, or staying overnight at your place, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m active and love getting dogs out for walks and playtime, but I also know when a pup just needs calm, attentive company. You’ll never have to wonder how your dog is doing. I keep owners updated with regular photos and messages throughout every visit. I welcome dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels and am comfortable in any home environment. Your dog deserves more than just being watched. They deserve to have a great time while you’re away. I’d love to meet them! I’m currently in high school and work part time, so I have plenty of availability in the evenings and weekends. Pet care is a priority for me and every dog in my care gets consistent, dedicated attention every single visit regardless of the time or day. When I’m at your home I treat it with full respect, keeping everything exactly as you left it. Your dog stays in their familiar environment which keeps them calm and comfortable. I follow your routines closely, keep all doors and gates secure, and send photo updates upon request so you can check in whenever you’d like.
“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!”
“Lydia did a great job dropping in to take care of my cat. She had to give pills, kept me updated well, and sent pictures every time! My cat seemed happy when I returned and the house was well taken care of. Would hire again!”
“Jen once again did an amazing job with our cats and they love her. She provides detailed updates and is so flexible when we need it. We will be booking again!”
“Jamie is awesome! Professional, caring, loves her job and she goes above and beyond. She takes great direction, follows instructions to the letter and our dog Chance really enjoyed her pop in visits. Jamie also sends a lot of pics and videos to help set your mind at ease that your pet is having fun and safe. Thanks Jamie!”
“Keezing is incredible as always! It’s hard for us to find someone who we are comfortable leaving our dogs with, and he gives us absolute peace of mind when he’s taking care of our dogs! I would highly recommend him!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—growing up in a home full of fish, birds, cats, dogs, and rodents taught me early on that pets are family. I truly believe every animal deserves love, patience, and attentive care. Today, I share my home with my friendly dog Birdie, who loves meeting new furry friends and makes a great playmate. My two kids are also passionate animal lovers, and together we create a safe, warm, and pet-friendly environment. I’m experienced in administering medications, whether pills, drops, or topical treatments, and I’m happy to support pets with special needs. I also offer daily walks for exercise and enrichment, and I’m comfortable with crate training if it’s part of your routine. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or relaxed, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own. I work full-time during the week, but on my weekends off, I love spending my time caring for animals. Pet care has always been a part of my life, and I’m excited to offer reliable, loving support to fellow pet parents when I’m available. Whether it’s weekend drop-ins, walks, or cuddles while you’re away, I’m here to help give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is fully pet-friendly and thoughtfully pet-proofed to ensure a secure environment. I use baby gates to create designated pet areas, so dogs can have their own space or be kept out of certain rooms when needed. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard—perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Fresh water is always available in multiple areas of the home to keep pets hydrated throughout the day. Whether your pet loves to run or relax, they’ll have a secure, comfortable, and caring space to enjoy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Monona
Vanessa was our first experience bringing someone in (other than a close family or friend) to feed and hang out with Finn. We honestly expected him to hide under the bed the whole time she was here, but he warmed up to her immediately, even showed his belly within the first 15 minutes! (per the pictures that Vanessa kindly sent us). We are so relieved and also excited to have re-hired her for the upcoming holiday weekend.
Kali is such a wonderful sitter. We feel completely at ease when we’re away and have her checking in on our cats. She’s managed to make our shy kitty into a social butterfly and is incredibly responsible and detail-oriented. Can’t say enough good things about her!!!
Francis was a great resource while I was out of town this week! This was my first time using a sitter for my cats, and I felt totally at peace knowing that someone experienced was watching them. Francis sent regular updates/pictures, cleaned up after my cats, and made sure that they had a fun week while I was gone. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reliable sitter :)
Alexandria was very attentive and nice when we did our meet and greet. Our cats are high maintenance (multiple food additives, a very picky eater, etc.), but Alexandria took care of it all. They even were able to give my one cat his pill and administered his inhaler, which they said they have never done before. It can be a little daunting, so I really appreciated they were willing to give it a shot and did so successfully. They sent lots of photos and even did the dishes before they left, which was definitely not an expectation. They noticed one of the microchip feeders stopped working right, and immediately messaged me and did all the steps to try and get it fixed. I made an oopsie and didnt add that I needed Alexandria to check in on the weekend. They were able to catch that and checked in with me to make sure someone was coming. I didnt have anyone, but they were able to make 2 hour long check ins for the whole weekend. I appreciate Alexandria's thouroughness, attentiveness, and the small extra things they did to make my cats as comfortable as possible for the entire week we were gone. We greatly appreciate you, Alexandria!
Christine is a very friendly person and a wonderful pet sitter! This is the second time we asked her to check in on our cat Kuzya. Everything went great, and she easily found approach to our cat who is usually suspicious towards new people. Thank you so much for your help!
Baylee was AMAZING! She was flexible with the times she was able to stop over, carefully watched the weather and opened and closed the windows so the cats could stay entertained while we were gone but the house didn’t get wet 🙃 our shy cat even came out to see her every time she stopped over! She kept us up to date with pictures and information with each visit. Would definitely use her again
Mary is wonderful! We hired her to check on our cat, Kirree, last minute before going out of town for a weekend, and Mary was responsive, trustworthy, and enthusiastic. She shared clear and descriptive updates and pictures from her visits with Kirree. She seems to have a way with cats and Kirree was thrilled to see her. I will definitely hire Mary again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Monona on Rover is $22.2 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 1,559 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Monona. 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 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.
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 Monona. 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.
