“Bobbi and her husband are so great!! Great communication, sent multiple updates with pictures and a video. Super happy with how everything went and would definitely recommend for the future”
“Heather and her husband Chris were amazing. We got updates all the time without even asking… which honestly meant a lot to us. Our dog looked so happy in every photo and she came home tired which is always a good sign. Heather was super quick to reply to any message and booking with her was way easier than I expected. We were in a bit of a bind since we needed a sitter only 10 days out and she still made the whole thing smooth and even fit in a meet and greet. You can tell right away how much they love dogs so I knew my Finely girl was really in good hands. I would book with them again without even thinking twice!”
“Raina watched my Snickers for two days and took excellent care of her. Snickers is old and she accommodated for her 13 year old body taking her out frequently and helping her up onto furniture. The home was clean and safe for my baby girl. I would definitely recommend Raina!”
“Mary was amazing!! My dog does not normally like new people but he loved Mary and she took great care of him. I even had to book last minute because of a funeral. I was able to be fully present with my family at our time of loss because my dog was so well cared for. Thanks Mary!!”
“Kristal and Scott were really great sitters. My Sophia was well taken care of and loved by them. She sent me updates on her and pictures almost on a daily basis. I would recommend them and use them in the future.”
“Anu and her family are the best!! They are so welcoming and our pup Daisy had such a fun time at their place, excellent communication and received many updates throughout the stay. Would 100% recommend 😊”
“Brooke and her husband were absolutely amazing! Dozer was so well taken care of while we were away. Brooke is so knowledgeable about pet care as well, which left us feeling at ease knowing our baby would be properly cared for. Also, pictures and videos, and updates from Brooke daily were an added bonus. Great yard and pet area for him to feel comfortable and “at home”. Thank you so so much! 💕”
“Angela was the best!! She was super accommodating for our pup Molly and sent us multiple pictures/ checked in regularly. I would absolutely love to book with her again and 3000% recommend her to others!”
“We had a great experience with Jill! From the beginning, she was super responsive and easy to communicate with. She took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated with pictures during his stay. She even brought him to our wedding so we could get a picture with him. Jill is so sweet and we will definitely be booking her again!”
“Such a Blessing of a Family to leave our puppy with! All our hesitations and anxieties of leaving our 4.5 yr old mini Aussie for a week were instantly gone as Shelby and daughter so lovingly gave her a home away from home. Along with her gentleness and patience came two gorgeous Bernedoodle friends to make our girl’s stay a superFun place to be while we were away! Felt guilty picking her up from her Staycation. Highly Recommend!!”
“Alysa is such a wonderful and caring person. Thank you for taking such great care of Mica, giving her your undivided attention and making her feel so comfortable in your home. You also gave us peace of mind in leaving her in your care. We hope you are available again next time we need care for Mica. Appreciate you!”
“Savannah was great with my dog. She kept me updated and was very flexible. We were traveling through a winter storm and I was so thankful that she was so flexible. Thanks again Savannah.”
“Michelle was wonderful! She made sure my pups felt completely comfortable the whole time. I loved getting so many photo updates every day. I always knew they were in great hands. I will definitely book with her again!”
“All I can say is WOW at the care, love, and attention Leo recieved from Beth and Chad! They know what they are doing and picked up a very cared for pup after our trip. Book them, you won’t regret it!”
“Sara and her family provided a wonderful home for our two dogs while we were on a trip! They have a large fenced-in backyard where they could run around and play with Luna. They came home happy and pooped from all their fun. We are so grateful, and will definitely use them in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Cicero home-away-from-home, 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 Cicero.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Cicero 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 , 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 .
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.
