“I feel really comfortable leaving my pup with Joanne. She sent me pictures and updates on Ginger every day - they made me smile! Was wonderful to know my pup was being loved and so well cared for while I was away! Thank you, Joanne!”
“Absolutely the best dog boarding we have had. Very kind, easy to work with, sent us a photo every day, and he came home safe and having been loved on for a few days. Will book again.”
“My dog absolutely loves Kandice. She was amazing. She’s had my dog for boarding for 3 weeks and I’ve been able to pick my dog up and play with her and drop her back off after. Very accommodating and loves and cares for my dog like her own!”
“Rachel was very communicative while we were away on vacation. She sent us pictures of our furry friend and updates. She had the pool out for the dogs and I felt like she was being well taken care of and it eased my mind while away. My dog came home exhausted! Which tells me she had a lot of play time. Happy with our experience”
“Ashlee was great with my dog, Sariah! She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend, which was much appreciated. We will definitely book her again when we need a sitter.”
“Jennifer was AMAZING! She took such great care of my dog. We had a last minute trip and needed to find quality care for her, and Jennifer was able to schedule and meet-and-greet the same day for us. She was extremely communicative and provided so many pictures of our sweet girl. We also got to meet her family and her dogs, all of whom were wonderful. I will re-book with her for any trips we have in the future. I can tell she genuinely cared and loved for my baby. Thank you Jennifer!!”

“We couldn't be happier with Sarah! Her and her family were incredibly reliable, warm & welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure Moose was comfortable and well-cared for. When our flight was changed last minute, Sarah was understanding and flexible. We appreciated the daily updates and so many amazing photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy Moose was during his stay. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We will absolutely be rebooking for our next vacation.”

Our dog took to them very quickly and we could tell she was made comfortable in their home. We look forward to booking with them again!”
About: My wife and I have been loving pet owners for over 10 years. We have pet sat many times over the years and treat others pets like our own family. We also have a decently sized fenced backyard so dogs can play and roam in a safe area. I am a stay-at-home dad who does some work within my house. I can be home pretty much all day during the week so your Animals will not be left alone for any significant amount of time at all. I have a fenced backyard, 2 dogs, and 2 cats. I have no problem crating a dog if needed or allowing them to sleep in the bed with us. Our dogs sleep on our bed every night and most dogs we pet sit also join us on our bed.
“Did a great job watching over our dog and they really go out of their way to understand your pet and what type of care your pet needs. Would definitely leave my dog with them again!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a good experience with Cindy! Our dog can be a bit shy but we got plenty of photos that showed she was having a great time.”
“Rachel is great! She will love yours as her own. Stays updated and sends pics of your fur babies. Sets up a meet and greet which is wonderful so you know you’re in good hands. Definitely recommend and will definitely use her services again!”
About: I’ve worked in animal care full-time for the last 4 years. I left the kennels/daycare world 7months ago to take care of them in a more comfortable, personalized, & loving way I think they deserve. I’ve worked in very large groups, administered medications, & have fallen in love a million times. Animal care is my full-time 24/7 job. I like trying different enrichment games & activities. I also additionally offer field trips or trail hikes that can be discussed at meet & greet. I have a large, fully fenced yard. We play, walk, or snuggle as they prefer. Pets are allowed on furniture & in my bed unless owner prefers otherwise. If your dog is well socialized & you’d like them to play/stay with others that can be discussed after an initial stay.

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.
93% of sitters in Big Bend 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 Big Bend 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 Big Bend.
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 Big Bend. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Big Bend 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.
