“Kristin and Bruce did a great job with my older dog, Madigan. She is sometimes anere xious to be away from home, but she was at ease from the minute we walked in the door. This is the first time in the last six years we did not have someone come in to the home. The pictures showed a relaxed, happy dog and her tail and ears were high when I arrived to pick her up. Dogs know people and she is loyal to "her pack", but our dog loved being a part of Kristin and Bruce's pack. I highly recommend Kristin and Bruce. You will not be disappointed!”


“Edith did a wonderful job taking care of our four-legged family member. She was caring, responsible, and an excellent communicator. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our pup was in such good hands.”


“Joan is wonderful! We had to book a last-minute stay because the sitter we booked through Rover canceled the morning of. Joan responded to me quick and was available for us to schedule a meet and greet in the morning to make sure it was overall a good fit. She (and her adorable dogs) were super sweet and welcoming. She sent me videos and pictures throughout Navi's stay and kept me updated. Navi loved Sammy and Emma and was so happy to have some sweet friends to play with! Thank you guys again for giving our sweet girl a comfortable and fun place to stay!”


“Amy was awesome!!! We were so grateful to know that our little dog was in such capable and loving hands while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and provided great updates. We will definitely book with her again!!! Thanks Amy!!! 💕🐾”


“I had a fantastic experience with Michelle and her family caring for Cinnamon! They asked plenty of questions beforehand and made sure I knew there would be other dogs boarding at the same time, which I really appreciated. They sent me lots of update photos and videos, keeping me in the loop, and were so pleasant to work with. I would choose them again to look after my pup!”


“My boy stayed with Duane and Lauren and had a great time. They are so kind and communicative with pupdates throughout their stay. I have already recommended them to friends and will definitely use them again!”


“Kaycee and Robert took great care of my two dogs. They sent lots of updates, and communicated clearly with us. I’d highly recommend them, and will reach out to them when I need someone to watch our dogs again.”


“I could not ask for a better care provider for my Maltese Ollie, who has been cared for by only family members until recently! Hope went above and beyond to ensure that Ollie was comfortable while I was away. She invited Ollie and me to her home before committing to caring for Ollie. She was honest in sharing his daily joys and stressors, which was refreshing! She also provided suggestions to improve Ollie's comfort the next time I am away - too awesome!”


“Yoki and Derek were great with Ziggy and Zoey, who were staying overnight away from me for the first time in their lives! They were very patient with my pups and generously shared photos throughout the duration of the dog’s stay.”


“Lindsay was quick to respond to all my messages and made it easy to arrange drop off and pick up. She sent a number of photos of my dog and took her for a number of long walks, just what the dog needs to balance her abundance energy. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.”


“Mary took our dog for our wedding weekend and she was great! Pugsy had a great time with her dog, going on a walk, and going to the dog park! She sent pictures and we did not worry about Pugsy at all! We will definitely book with Mary in the future!”



“Janie is awesome and definitely a “go-to” for us. She has watched our Bernedoodle puppy, Milo, twice. The first time was daycare during the work day and the second time was weekend boarding. Milo came home wiped out and happy both times. Janie sent plenty of updates and pictures, and even double-checked with us regarding crate preferences. Janie also has a doodle of her own who we got to meet. He’s a well-behaved and friendly playmate! We know our dog is in good hands with Janie.”


“Julie was absolutely fantastic. She knows dog behavior very well and I completely trusted her with my 12 week old puppy who is very nervous. Julie went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”


“Manuela was amazing. As a first time Rover user she made the experience great. She went above and beyond to care for our pooch. Communication was great. If I am ever back in Madison area I would definitely see if ahes available.”


“This is my second time boarding my dog with Grace and her partner. Maisie ran to get out of the truck and into their yard! They do a wonderful job. I already have a third visit scheduled.”


“Da Yeon and her partner took such great care of my very energetic pup, Cricket, while I was on vacation for over a week. Da Yeon checked in to make sure I was happy with the frequency of updates she was sending, and was super flexible and helpful when I completely botched our return time. There's nothing better than knowing fur babies are in good hands when traveling, and I can't recommend Da Yeon enough - thank you for everything!”



“Scott was so great! Came through and took such good care of Penny when we were in need last minute. She was happy and loved and we received nice updates. Will definitely have him watch Penny again.”

My pup, Joey, and I had a wonderful experience with Maddie! She was very responsive before and during boarding, sent adorable photos, and worked with my schedule for drop off and pick up times. Joey came back happy and tuckered out and I would be really glad to have Maddie watch him again. Highly recommend her!

Drew was great! This was my first time using Rover, and Drew made me feel very comfortable. I appreciate that he did a meet and greet before the stay, and he was very responsive with communication. I also liked the updates and pictures during my dog's stay. I would definitely recommend and use him again in the future!

Zeppelin and his owners are beyond elated to have found Hannah and her doggies for boarding! From the meet and greet to pickup, we could not have asked for anything better. Hannah is intuitive, patient, kind, and has well trained doggies! She made sure to double check any special needs or requests and was very communicative during Zeppelin's stay. The pictures shared and behavior of our dog during drop off and pickup let us know he felt right at home. Hannah will be top of our list when looking for future care!

Brenda was welcoming and sweet with our lil chihuahua mix Newman. He is usually shy to new people and environments, plus it was his first time boarding, but he settled pretty quickly. Her cat was chill so the 2 pets were just fine being around each-other. Brenda had no problem adapting to our somehow uncertain schedule (we were in town for a concert) and shared updates throughout the night. If we are in the need of a sitter, we’ll definitely reach out to her! I don’t think the experience gets any better than this ❤️ Thanks Brenda for making it so swift!

We needed a very last minute overnight board for our dog while we were visiting Madison. Taylor was so responsive and sweet right off the bat. Our dog is 13, not used to other people or places, but she spoiled him and made him feel right at home. She provided plenty of updates and pictures over the weekend. We highly recommend Taylor!
