“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 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 was amazing! We loved getting daily updates and pictures. We could always tell from the photos that our boys were having the time of their lives. Can't wait to have Jen back again!”
“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”
“My pups loved Beatrice during her drop-in visits throughout the week! She provided great pictures of both of them which let me knew that my dogs were well taken care of while I was busy at work. Thank you so much! I will definitely book her again for other dates! :)”
About: Eric and Rachel share a love for their beloved Aussie-beagle Lilo and fostering rescue dogs together. We know that it is never easy to leave your beloved dog with someone new, and in a new place. As our own Lilo has struggled with separation anxiety before, we know how important it is to have a pet sitter who is present, patient, and able to cater their care towards a dog’s specific needs. Rachel has taken care of 6 different family dogs growing up, including a border collie, golden retriever, Boston terrier, 2 mixed breeds and a silky terrier. Eric has taken care of his family dog (chihuahua mix) since birth till now (9 years old). Together, we have fostered 12 rescue dogs these past two years, ranging from high energy Great Pyrenees to 3 Border Collie puppies all at once, to a completely afraid and anxious Beagle mama and Shiba Inu mama that are recovering from very difficult situations. We have also looked after a Rhodesian Ridgeback and an American pit bull. Our own dog is a 2.5 year old Aussie-beagle. We both have lots of experience working with dogs of all kinds of temperaments and needs, especially high energy dogs who require a lot of attention and care, and administering medication to dogs who have special needs. Rachel also loves cooking her home cooked meals for her dog, and can do that for yours too, if you need! We both work from home and have all weekends free. Our flexible schedules together allows us to bring dogs regularly on walks and to look after them consistently. We follow instructions really well, and can take care of your dog according to your requirements. We allow dogs to roam and sleep freely in our home, but we can also crate your dog easily if you prefer. We know how to work with your dog with lots of gentle care and love.
About: I have grown up with pets in my home, as my family has fostered both dogs and cats since I was eight years old. I have experience sitting cats of all ages, caring for my own senior cat who I grew up with, fostering small/medium-sized dogs, as well as one wonderfully extra-large and rowdy pet dog. I also helped train him to heel and follow other basic commands and behaviors. I'm currently a student at UW Madison on summer break, so I have ample time to take care of your pets! I am available every week day from 10AM-8PM. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they have fresh water at all times, are fed according to their regular schedule, and get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I also pay close attention to each pet's unique routine and needs, whether that means administering medication, providing a quiet space to relax, or sticking to specific walking or potty schedules.
“Jennifer always takes great care of Eliza. She follows our instructions to a T and gives her and her brother lots of love and attention. We have never used another sitter and hope never to need to!”
“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!”
“Vanessa was absolutely wonderful! Great communicator — with people and pets alike. Very attentive to my kitty and spent time laying on the ground and meeting him where he was to earn trust and make him comfortable. Definitely recommend!!”
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.
“Kathryn did an amazing job caring for my grumpy old cat, Rumor. He doesn't usually like strangers, but she got him to play with toys and always spent time with him. I felt better knowing that she was checking in on him everyday!”
“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!”
“Keezieng is amazing! He’s available when I need someone to watch our dog in a pinch. He’s reliable and a big help when asked to do things that are above and beyond a drop in visit. We’re so thankful to have him as our Rover!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Monona is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Monona
We had a wonderful experience with Ayla! They took such great care of our three cats while we were away and truly went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. Communication was excellent throughout every visit and I felt comfortable reaching out and asking questions in between. Ayla was responsive and updated us immediately after each visit with updates and pictures, giving us complete peace of mind. She was able to take care of our cats while one of them was in heat and helped us monitor her from afar. it was clear Ayla genuinely cared about our cats and treated them with kindness. We could not have asked for a better sitter and will be reaching out if and when we might need someone again in the future. I highly recommend Ayla to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and trustworthy pet sitter!
Keely was a wonderful sitter for our cat. Getting the daily report card from Keely while we were away for a long time set my mind at ease and allowed me to relax. She took great pictures, allowing me to see that my kitty was doing just fine without me, and kept me up to date on the few small health concerns my cat has. She also took good care of the plants while I was gone! It was such a relief to have someone so thorough and reliable looking after my girl. I will absolutely book with Keely again!
Darby is such a caring and thoughtful sitter! She gets better pictures of our cats than we do, and she is amazing at writing recaps of her visits. It gives us such peace of mind to know she’s taking care of our pets, and she really treats them like her own.
We literally could not be happier with the care we got from Vanessa. This was our first extended time away since adopting Finn where a friend or relative (usually his grandma) was not available to cat-sit so we were pretty nervous how all of this would work. Finn is extremely nervous with new people and even with ones he’s met a few times. But Finn absolutely loved Vanessa as her photos and videos easily showed. Within her first visit, she had photos of him rolling over to show his belly - the ultimate sign that he was so comfortable with her. We really appreciated Vanessa’s communication with us during the entire process. There is a 100% chance we will hire her again. Anyone who’s nervous about leaving their separation-anxiety cat alone for a few days should really be confident Vanessa is going to go a long way in making you comfortable.

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.

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.
