About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid. Occasionally, for friends or neighbors, but most of my experience is from having a pups and cats of my own. I will be unable to adopt a dog for the foreseeable future, so this will be my way of staying connected to animals and making some new furry friends. I love spending time outside and I'm willing to head to the dog parks, trails or even the beach if you would like. Monay-Wednesday evenings are usually open. Most Fridays and Sundays I have more flexibility. Saturdays are also flexible if your pup/kitty is okay with kids. I have a daughter who loves animals as much as I do and she would be very gentle and playful. Every family and furry friend are different. That's one of the things I love about this job. I will be open to any specific routines, diets, training or requirements that you have in place.
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!
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m Madison, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for animals in both shelter and home settings. I volunteered with Shelter from the Storm Animal Rescue as a behavioral assessor, where I was trained to observe animal behavior, body language, temperament, and individual needs. I also helped write biographies for adoptable animals, which gave me even more experience getting to know animals as individuals and understanding their personalities and needs. My family also fostered animals, so I’m very comfortable working with anxious, shy, or nervous pets. I understand that some animals need extra patience and time to feel comfortable with a new person. I’m very in tune with animal behavior and pay close attention to body language, comfort levels, routines, and changes in behavior so I can help your pet feel safe and relaxed. I work a hybrid-remote job and am only in the office 1-2 days a week depending on workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care and to spend extra time with your pets that may need more human interaction and snuggles! I’m absolutely comfortable working with anxious, fearful, or timid animals and will give them the patience and space they need to feel comfortable. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and in good hands while you’re away! I work a hybrid-remote job and am only in the office 1-2 days a week depending on workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care and to spend extra time with your pets that may need more human interaction and snuggles! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. My background as a trained animal behavioral assessor helps me recognize signs of stress, fear, discomfort, or overstimulation and adjust my approach accordingly. I’m especially comfortable with shy or anxious animals and will never force interaction before they are ready. I prioritize safe handling, secure doors and gates, and making sure pets cannot accidentally escape. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, following your instructions, and making sure everything is as you left it when I leave. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.
“She was sooo amazing!! Could not have asked for a better sitter and peace of mind. Updates and pics and communication was great. Will definitely be using her again if she's willing and available.”
“Emily was wonderful and kind. I needed someone last minute and she completely understood and was there to check in on my pup. She gave lots of updates and pictures and was on time. She tired my high energy girl out for me and it was so appreciated! I’ll be using her again!”
“Lexy is a true dog lover. Nina warmed up to her right away. We felt totally comfortable having Lexy stop in for a drop in visit. She kept us update on her visit. Looking forward to using Lexy again to take care of Nina.”

“We're very pleased with Autumn, and greatly appreciated her above and beyond services for our 2 cats, AND the stray barn cats from abandoned property next door! During the meet/greet they were on our deck, as it was the time I usually feed them, and Autumn eagerly offered to fill their bowls while she was here. Our request was for only 2 cats, she didn't have any obligation beyond that. THAT'S above and beyond! Thank you, Autumn! We'll reach out again when we're away next time! 🫶”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sun Prairie
Allison is so kind and responds quickly, and took such great care of our dog! Our dog is always so happy and comfortable when we come home after being cared for by Allison! She always gives us lots of updates and pictures which is so comforting to know she’s in such good hands!
Angela was fantastic. I felt very confident leaving my two timid rescue dogs at home for a weeklong trip with Angela coming in to feed and play with them. She was very diligent about the instructions and understanding exactly what I wanted. She was outstanding about writing me a note every day and sending me pictures of the dogs and anything of concern or positive. My dogs were much more relaxed in the photos than I've ever seen them when I've gone away for a whole week! Angela is very caring about animals and I highly recommend her.
This is the third time we have used Krista and couldn’t be happier! We inherited my mother in law’s dogs after she passed, and they really didn’t fit with our lifestyle as we love to travel and work a lot. Krista has made it so easy for us to travel and not worry as we have one older pit mix. So grateful we found her!
Jorja did an amazing job taking care of my girl!! She was super sweet and kind, and she clearly cares about the pets she’s taking care of. I loved that her visit reports were detailed and always had photos ☺️ Any anxiety I may have had about being gone literally melted away after her first visit! I would highly recommend reaching out to Jorja for your pet needs and will continue to book with her while I am in Madison!!
I can’t say enough good things about Hailey. She is consistently reliable, incredibly kind, and genuinely invested in the well being of my two dogs. They absolutely love her! She’s great with communication, pays attention to the little details, and always makes sure the girls get the care, exercise and affection they need. It’s such a relief to have someone you can trust completely- Hailey is that person. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sun Prairie choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.
