“There are no words to express how thankful we are. Traci and her family made our family feel completely at ease while we were away for the very first time. This was our first experience leaving our baby with someone else, and trusting another family to care for him was a big step for us. Traci and her family treated our boy as if he were their own. She kept us updated, which we deeply appreciated, and you can see in the photos just how comfortable and safe he felt. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. For anyone considering care, we highly recommend Traci and her family. They are truly the best. And their dog, Wilfred — the cutest, kindest boy ever — made the experience even sweeter.”
“Theresa was awesome with my Elly! I highly recommend for all you pet lovers out there that need a sitter that will provide your four legged baby with lots of love and attention.”
“Beth ensured that my reactive dog had a safe and friendly introduction to her daughter's dog. It was such a great experience for him to feel safe around a new doggo. She was also extremely conscience of my dogs' dietary restrictions.”
“Mary treated our dog with love and care, as if she were her own dog. We appreciated how dependable Mary was with sending us updates and photos to keep us aware of how the stay was going. We highly recommend Mary, and will have our dog stay with her next time, for sure!!”
“Ryan and his family provided exceptional care to Jake. My usually anxious dog adjusted well! Thanks for providing him with extra cuddles when needed and some trips to the park. I will definitely book again!”
“I feel like we have found a diamond in the rough. Jacqueline, Kris and Bella are so kind and truly are dog lovers. We received updates with pictures during Piper's stay. Their fenced in yard was perfect for Piper to run and sniff. Cannot say enough positive remarks regarding the excellent care Piper received. We highly recommend Jacqueline's family for daycare or boarding, and will be boarding again in the future!”
“Ashlee kept our Sallie Mae for a couple days and was a great experience. Communication was great all the way from scheduling a meet and greet to drop off and pick up. Will use her again for sure.”
“Ozzie spent 4 days with Chris, Dan and their dogs while I was out of town. I am confident in saying that Ozzie was well cared for while with them. I could tell that they made sure my 14 year old Weimaraner was as comfortable as he could be. They sent me photos and a daily update. I am super picky and have a hard time making plans that don't include Ozzie but would definitely use them again and recommend and trust Chris and Dan to care for your pet. Thanks for making my Ozzie comfortable.”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born and I know how to properly care for them! I am experienced in feeding, walking, and playing with dogs! I currently work part time Monday through Friday so I have plenty of free time to take care of and play with pets! I am great with all animals! I currently have a cat and a German Shorthair Pointer pup who is about 8 months old! I take my dog to the dog park daily and he loves running around and getting all his energy out!
About: Animals have been an important part of my life since I was a young girl cultivating a deep love for them. In addition to caring for my own cats, dogs, turtle, and guinea pigs, I've cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and other owners. I am passionate about protecting and caring for animals, and I pay close attention to every detail so that your pet receives the individualized care they deserve. I have varied availability throughout the week and weekend. Although I have another job, and have a family, I still have flexibility to do pet care. :-) I care for my own animals deeply in one of my top priorities is meeting their needs. I probably even go above and beyond for someone else's pet as I understand that someone else is putting their fur babies in my care. I appreciate good communication and I pay attention to details that a pet owner may have for me.
“Larissa and her husband were wonderful with our two dogs. They provided lots of snuggles, pictures and they treated our dogs like they were their own. I would highly recommend them. She did everything to calm our babies when the thunderstorms rolled in. Thank you!”
“Julie & her family were AMAZING with our girl! We got pictures everyday from their walk & naps. It was such a relief to know our dog was taken care of and in the best of hands. 100% will book with Julie again!”
“Perrin was absolutely amazing with Ziva! I loved the fact that he treated her just like his own dog! The daily pictures and updates were amazing! Knowing Ziva was having a blast and being treated like the princess she is let's me know that we will definitely be using Perrin and the Sanderson Ranch again, in the future. Thank you!”
About: My husband and I have both taken care of cats and dogs for most of our lives and grew up with a household of pets. We regularly watch both large and small dogs for extended family when they travel out of town. We would be happy to care for your dogs or cats and give them the same love and attention we give our own pets. Our family currently has a 6-year-old chihuahua mix (who hasn’t met a person or pup she doesn’t like). We have a fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to run and play. We’d love to help out with your pets! You can be sure they’ll get plenty of attention! I work from home, so I am available to stop over for dog walking during the day or just to check on and play with your dog or cat when you’re away. We are also available for dog boarding or daytime care at our house. I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood and one small dog that would be happy to keep your dog company. If your dog is accustomed to crating at night, I’m familiar with crate training as our dogs were trained in this way.
“Beth and her family were wonderful and cared so well for my older husky mix Zelda! Z settled in well & they were very accommodating for all of her needs. The teenage boys gave her lots of attention. Zelda was very comfortable there. Great communication, sweet people, and easy folks to talk to. Will definitely book again!”
“We were nervous about leaving Winston with a sitter as he generally has only been left with family in his own home previously. We need not have worried. Angelina was just the best. From a pre-board meet and greet at her home to meeting her other dogs we were at ease before he went there and when we dropped him off he was so happy and content. She introduced him slowly to her other dogs so he wasn't overwhelmed and he had the time of his life. Her house is beautifully set up to look after pets. The regular photos and videos not only put our mind at rest but showed him socializing and playing with others and just generally having a good time. I have no hesitation in recommending Angelina in looking after any of your precious pets.”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Afton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Afton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Afton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Afton. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your Afton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
