“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!”
“Hannah was great! She agreed to do 2 meet and greets since we were moving and came in to feed our kitten (16 year old prissy cat) and got her to take all her meds, no problem! Thank you, Hannah!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life as well! Between family dogs, coworkers' dogs, and dogs I get to pet on the street, I love them all! One day I hope to have a golden retriever of my own! I have a rotating schedule so I’ll have time to feed, walk, and hangout with your dogs mid week or weekend depending on the week! I live in a nice area with nice neighbors and with many places to take your pup for a walk or to a park to play fetch!
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.
“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”
“Jen was so wonderful with drop in visits! She sent thoughtful updates and went above and beyond to make sure the dogs were comfortable. Highly recommend Jen!!”
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 (11 years old). Together, we have fostered 16 rescue dogs these past two years, ranging from a 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 American pit bulls, a large Newfoundland, and senior doggies who have hip difficulties and special diets. Our own dog is a 3.5 year old Aussie-beagle, so we particularly love the herding dogs. :) 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.
“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!”
“Darby is wonderful! She leaves detailed messages about check in’s. It’s comforting to know she is there if needed. She took some cute photos of our cats. Would book with her again!”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“Audrey was awesome from the very beginning! She is very quick to respond and made communication very easy. She was right on schedule and handled everything without issues! We would absolutely recommend Audrey to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet!”
“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!”
“Lacey was super responsive which was nice when booking, but she also genuinely cared about making sure my cat was getting enough love & attention while I was gone, which was awesome to know. Would defs have her cat-sit again!”
“Nicolette was great! She took care of our cat and guinea pigs while we were gone for a week and they were all very happy and healthy upon our return. She is trustworthy and friendly and reliable with communication. Thank you Nicolette! :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Monona
Darby is a fantastic pet-sitter! We continue to opt for her help on our vacations over our parents because she is so communicative and timely. She does very well with our outgoing cat and our shy one, always making an effort to show them some love for us. We are so grateful we found her!
Emma was so good with my little kitty. He is skiddish and doesn’t always like new people but she was patient and consistent with him. I greatly appreciated her coming in and giving him his meds and food and any love that he allowed her to give while I was gone.
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!
Christina was everything her previous 5 star reviewers said and then some. This was our first experience of using Rover to take care of our 3 cats (one geriatric and two kittens) for drop in visits. She bought them toys, played cat games with them in addition to feeding and cleaning up. Came home to a very happy and content cat family! We have already set up additional cat:house sitting dates with Christina.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Monona on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,506 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
- 95% 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.
