“Laura welcomed our Barley into her home with open arms. She allowed us to come with Barley and check things out before having Barley stay with her. Shadow, Laura's massive golden retriever, is the friendliest pup around and gave Barley the opportunity to learn all the tricks around the house! :) We are so very lucky to have found Laura (and Shadow) and plan to have this be Barley's home away from home in the future!”
“Chelssey is an extremely dog loving and compassionate person. Throughout Polo’s stay, she was very communicative - during pick up and drop off and also shared pictures & updates during Polo’s stay with her family. I would highly recommend Chelssey to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter in and around the Madison area.”
“Edith and her husband are absolutely amazing! They take such wonderful care of Henry, and every time we leave him with them, we have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. One thing we really appreciate is the thoughtful communication. The updates and photos are the perfect balance—frequent enough to reassure us that Henry is happy, comfortable, and well cared for, but never excessive. They always include just the right amount of detail, which makes it easy to relax and enjoy our time away. It’s obvious that they genuinely love dogs and treat Henry like part of their own family. We always come home to a happy, well-loved pup, and we couldn’t ask for a better experience. We highly recommend Edith to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter!”
“AMAZING!!! Lindsey is a very sweet person and an incredible dog care taker. We left for a family trip for few days and our dog stayed with her. We did not have any worries. We got updates from her daily and our dog had so much fun playing with Lindsey’s dog. Great communication too. If I could, I would give her 10 stars!!!”
“Marie's place was a perfect fit for my curious dog. I know he had plent of attention and was even able to help with chores! He was clearly very comfortable and I know we will be asking for Marie's help again.”
“Our pup was so happy here! Jenny and family were very communicative and shared photos and videos that made us smile every time. They were really flexible and accommodating about our timeline, since we had a long drive and couldn’t predict an exact time. This was the perfect way to have our puppy here in Madison while we were visiting our daughter who is a student here. Absolute game changer! Thank you!”
“Fantastic! Can't recommend them enough. Our pup had so much fun, we got regular updates, and he got a REPORT CARD with lots of details at the end of his stay. Just wonderful!!”
“I recommend planning ahead and communicating clearly, as the staff here are busy professionals. They were very accommodating when a change of plans prevented me from picking up my dog before an incoming storm. They patiently waited for me until the next day, and Canelo was returned safe and sound. Thank you Rissa and Dan.”
About: I grew up owning a dog as a child and loved it! Unfortunately right now I am so busy to own my own pet. I have been dog sitting for friends and co-workers for multiple years and love having animals around when it works with my schedule. My husband grew up with cats and dogs and our 8-year-old daughter absolutely loves animals and would like to be a veterinarian when she grows up. My family loves animals and we would like to help others while also getting to enjoy caring for pets. I work full time during the week, but my husband works from home so we would be able to accommodate watching if enough notice is given. We have a fenced-in backyard and are right next to a great walking trail. We do have steps in our home but if that is a problem there is plenty of space on the main level and we could block the stairs.
“Christina and Jeremy have been wonderful to work with and my Pomeranian has had great stays with them. Looking forward to booking their services again in the future!”
“Zoe was well cared for at Hannah and her family‘s home. We appreciated the updates and pictures very much. We will definitely have Zoe back again another time when we travel.”
“After my meet and greet with Emily, I was instantly at ease and knew my young golden retriever would be in good hands. She was very communicative, checking in with me every day to let me know how things were going and what they got up to, and she always included photos! Emily was very flexible both for drop-off/pickup and for stopping by her house over lunch for the first couple of days to check on my pup. Her having a golden retriever of her own and a couple of sweet kids who gave my dog so much love was also a bonus!”
“Jennifer was communicative and responsive - updates and video of my dog and her dog playing like longtime pals. My dog was calm and relaxed when I picked her up, which has not always been the case with Dogsitter’s. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Ryan, Krista, and the family were absolutely wonderful! This was Captains first overnight at a strangers home since we adopted him 4 months ago. They were very loving and made sure to keep us up to date while away and at pick up. We will definitely be using them again and would highly recommend them for others.”
“Terrific hosts and experience. We could not be happier, Made our Irish Setter feel like home. Very rapid responses and send us regular updates. Will definetly book with Anne and Patrick again.”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, I cared for rabbits, hamsters, mice, and a pet rat. Today I share my home with my 13 year old cat, Meeko, and my housemate’s friendly 12 year old dog. I recently said goodbye to my senior cat after 16 wonderful years together. During the last few years of his life, I administered medication multiple times a day and became experienced in caring for an aging pet with extra medical needs. That experience strengthened my patience, attention to detail, and understanding that every pet deserves individualized, compassionate care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own pets. I work full-time during the week 8:30-4:30, so I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks before and after work (6-7:30 AM, and after 4:30 pm M-F), as well as most weekends and holidays. I also offer limited weekend boarding for one dog at a time so I can provide each guest with plenty of individual attention and care. My goal is to be flexible while making sure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know pets thrive on routine, so I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to medications, favorite toys, and bedtime routines. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of affection. I understand that having a stranger in the house can be stressful for both pets and owners, so I’ll always treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. For boarding, I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play. I only accept one boarding dog at a time so I can provide a calm, personalized experience and ensure every pet receives plenty of attention. My home also includes my cat and my housemate’s dog, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around cats and other dogs. This helps create a calm, safe environment for everyone.
“Beatrice did a great job watching over Chopa :) She sent messages and pictures to provide updates during the boarding which was great! I would definitely reach out to her again when we need boarding service again”

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 Blue Mounds 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 Blue Mounds 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 Blue Mounds.
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 Blue Mounds. 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 Blue Mounds 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.
