“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.”
“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!”
“Jen is wonderful, she’s taking such good care of my impossibly large Mastiff max. And has been super flexible with our changed travel plans too. So great.”
“Keezieng's assistance was a lifesaver this holiday season. His politeness and kindness when meeting us and our cat Olivia was reassuring and he did a great job of updating us during his visits while we were away. We’re so grateful for the excellent care provided!”
“Stephanie checked on our dogs while we were away for a long day. She left a great recap of their time together and shared a few pics. Communicative and exactly what we needed when we were away the whole day!”
“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!”
About: I’ve always lived in a household with cats and dogs - growing up, my parents had cats and dogs and now that I live on my own, I have 2 kitties of my own - Pumpkin and Jasper! I have pet sat for neighbors, friends, and coworkers and am always so happy to do it! I work fully remote and have flexible hours, so it is easy for me to drop in! I also could work at your home and spend time with your babies if you have wifi! I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with my 2 kitties. I’ve had them both since they were kittens - one is 5 years old now and the other is 3 years old. They are spoiled with treats, play time, brushing, and kisses!
“Mary truly loves cats and kittens! It's been a pleasure to communicate with her over the texts. She's always been very responsive and professional, which gave us peace of mind during our travels. We'll definitely re-book and recommend her services to our friends!”
About: I'm the person asking if I can pet your animals in public. Love a good walk and will play outside with your pet or snuggle on THe couch if desired,! My workday usually starts at about 9am and I am home sometime between 3-4pm My weekends are usually wide open for your pet care needs Pets can roam free in my home as long as behaved and appropriate. I feed my cats twice daily so I can accommodate feeding routines and have a fenced in yard for play
“My cat is very skittish, and Sierra did a great job meeting him where he's at!! She took care of him and sent pictures while respecting his space :) I'll definitely book with her again!”
“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.

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.
About: I have taken care of large Akitas my whole life. They were very difficult to walk and struggle with other dogs so plenty of experience with more difficult walkers. I also currently live with a Jack Russell! Recent UVA Law graduate waiting for my job to start in January so available almost any time of day. Need more of a heads up for last minute walks to make sure I can be there, but other than that I am a trustworthy young adult with a lot of time on her hands! Handle everything I do with extreme care. I will make sure to treat your pet with the upmost care and concern necessary for any walk or check-in.
“Thank you for responding to my request to help with Sophia today. It sounds like she ate well and felt like walking more today! Thank you for taking good care of her!”
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: I've had dogs my entire life. I grew up learning how to care for and love them! I have been hired by family members, friends, and neighbors to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their dogs and puppies! I have done overnights with pets as well! I am currently in college, so my schedule is different each day. These are the times I have class: 9:30am-4:30pm Mondays and Tuesdays 9:30am-3:30pm Wednesdays 9:30am-12:30pm Thursdays 9:30am-4:30pm Fridays Outside of these times, I am available the rest of the day! I am also free any time on Saturdays and Sundays. I will gladly adapt to your and your pet's environment to ensure that they feel safe and comfortable in a familiar space! I am able to go on as many walks as needed. My dogs are obsessed with car rides, so I am willing to bring your pets for a ride around town with your permission! My dogs are also very high maintenance and love a routine, so I can work around what is best for them!
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Monona
Keely took amazing care of our two cats! Her check-in messages had all the necessary updates and information, along with telling us how cute and lovely our cats are (which is almost as necessary because we missed them so much). Her pictures were great as well, and she uploaded plenty of them. Moreover, she went above and beyond in helping us deal with some packages that came to our house while we were away. Highly recommend Keely!
Christina is ABSOLUTELY the best. Truly the one you want looking after your animals! Super sweet, very attentive, and extremely trustworthy. This was my first time using rover and having someone come into my house to watch my animals, and Christina couldn’t have been a better choice. Easy to stay in touch with her, she responds very quickly, and she gives daily updates and pictures with great detail. She really put our mind at ease while we were gone for a week, and our kitties loved hanging out with her. Our house was clean and exactly how we left it, water bowls full and cat box cleaned…. So extremely thankful. We will ALWAYS been looking for Christina—you should too!
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.
This is our second time booking with Vanessa and we are 100% sure there will be more in the future. Finn our cat is obviously smitten with her because he doesn’t pose for pictures for just anyone, much less even hang out within picture proximity with most strangers. She’s no stranger anymore and it really does show. Always feel totally at ease when he’s in her care.
Sammi was amazing!! She took great care of our cat Nora - played creative games with her, sent a plethora of photos, gave Nora cuddles & treats, and left awesome detailed Rover cards. She followed all the house & cat care instructions as well. Would 10”% book Sammi again! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Monona is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,502 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Monona. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
