About: I have over 30 years experience training dogs. I am able to dog sit from my home full time. I recently moved to a large property in the country, that is a short 35 minute drive from Madisons west side. I have a acer that is completely fenced in and I am more than happy to offer pick up and drop off to the west side of Madison. I'm professional trained as a dog groomer, worked professionally for over 6 years as a groomer, dog trainer and doggie daycare provider. I have also worked as a vet assistant for 2 years in Denver Colorado. I am certified in humane and dog CPR and I graduated with an EMS degree for humans, this training helps me respond to variety of situations with confidence. I was a volunteer at two different Humane Society's for over 12 years. I have fostered, rehabilitated and Rehoused 15 dogs most with serious behavioral issues. I am an avid dog lover and enjoy spending time with my dogs and other people's dogs. I can stay home full time now. I also have a full acer that is fenced and I have walking trails in the country and I still frequently go to the dog park and I am never gone more than 1-2 hours. Rover is away for me to stay home with my dogs and hopefully your dogs. My dogs LOVE having dog friends visit our pack and home.-I am a firm believer in the saying "A tired dog is a good dog".- I have been dog sitting full time for the past year and I enjoy being home all day long. I recently moved and have an acer of fenced land and I am happy to offer pick up and drop off of your pet or we can meet closer to your house. I am only about 30 mins south of Madison. I have a huge fenced yard with extra gates and separate fenced areas to do introductions safely. Dogs are NEVER left unsupervised outside. Your dog’s safety and mine dogs safety is my top priority!
“Pamela was very responsive and friendly! She came over beforehand for a meet and greet. She also sent a nice summary and pictures each day. I would highly recommend her!”
“Ann took wonderfull care of our Pilo while we where out of the city for a week with amazing communication. Pilo usually has a hard time adjusting to strangers but he immediatly got along with her.”
About: I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs in addition to raising my own. From daily walks to overnight sitting, I’ve had experience keeping pets happy, comfortable, and on their routine. While most of my experience comes from personal care, I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel loved and comfortable. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends. With a flexible work from home schedule, I can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I also live with my family, including my stay at home mom, who is always around to provide companionship and dedicated care for your pet. We treat all dogs like family in our home. Your pup will have a friendly companion - our own dog, who loves having company. Pets are welcome to relax anywhere in the house, including on the furniture, and my dog is used to snuggling on the bed. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, while catering to their individual needs and routines.
“Laura did a wonderful job of caring for our kitty while we were away and provided some bonus help for us like getting the mail and watering our flower pots! We appreciate her help so much!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up with dogs, which taught me the importance of routine, exercise, and lots of love. Now I’m a proud cat owner of two, so I also understand how to care for more independent (but equally lovable!) pets. Whether your pet loves to play or just needs a calm, reassuring presence, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel at home. I work full time at UW Madison during regular business hours between 7:30a and 4:30p. I have a flexible schedule where I work from home twice weekly and at work 3 days. I care for your pets and your home as if it were my own. I treat the pets with the upmost love and care, and respect your home and privacy. I play with the pets if they are interested, and leave them be if not interested. Pets have bodily autonomy and I respect that. I’ll clean up a mess if I find one, and I’d let you know immediately if there’s an issue.
“Absolutely fantastic experience with Mandi and delighted she was able to take our booking. Mandi came for a meet-and-greet in advance of the booking to review details and get acquainted with our home, our cat, and his care. He was much more relaxed and comfortable when we returned than when we've picked him up from boarding in the past; at his advanced age, that means so much! We're looking forward to our next booking with Mandi!”
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.
“Hillary did an awesome job checking in on my cats while we were away for a few days. They are both very shy, but she got them to come out the first day she fed them!”
“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. The pictures and follow up notes on their time together was wonderful to receive. We will definitely be booking with Lynne again. She truly cares about our furry family members”
“Alliyah watched our 15 y/o dog for 12 days while we were on spring break. She was easy to schedule with and communicative. Georgie seemed to really enjoy her visits and we recommend her!”
“Courtney was amazing! She sent regular updates and the sweetest remarks throughout the entire time. My cat required insulin shots at certain time intervals and she made sure to keep him on his needed schedule. She treated my fur baby as if he was her own. I will be re-hiring her if I need another cat sitter.:)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 719 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mount Vernon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
