“Gianina was a great host to Kona! She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend! She had a great yard for him to explore, and she took him on nice walks. We will definitely book with her again if we travel!”
“Ranger & Bandit had an AMAZING time with Monique and her family. Photos and updates were provided regularly, which provided excellent peace of mind. The atmosphere is warm, inviting and very caring. I will absolutely trust her again with my furry family members! A+++”
“Cheryl and Josh were wonderful sitters for my dog Molly. They treated her as if she was their own dog. Cheryl was respectful of all the requests that I had made for Molly's stay. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures that Cheryl shared. It was a great comfort for me knowing that I did not have to worry about Molly while I was away on vacation. We will be booking with Cheryl and Josh again!!”
“Katy and Dennis are a one in a million find! They take such great care for our high energy dogs, send daily photos, and our dogs are happy to visit them anytime! I highly recommend these two when looking for care for your pups!”

“Heather was great with our little spunky Yorkie. We needed someone last minute for a work trip and she accommodated us. Her home is very dog friendly, and we could see she loves having fur babies around. She sent me pictures everyday and kept me updated. She was very attentive and caring. Her boys played with JoZee and kept up with her high energy. I would definitely trust her again. Thank you Heather for all you've done!! I'm happy to have found you.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs all my life. I grew up showing dogs, both my family dogs and others. My family back home currently has three dogs, each a different size, from small to large, so I have experience with all sizes. I live in a great area for casual walks, with a dog park and a small lake nearby for the pups that are allowed to swim! I work full-time, in-office Monday through Thursday and from home on Fridays. I take daily walks around my neighborhood in the evening. On weekends, I love exploring a new coffee shop and walking trail or just a longer walk in the areas near me. I’d love to bring your pet along with me on walks and for downtime on the couch afterwards! I don’t have a fenced yard, but there is a dog park where your pup can run freely. Outside of that, we have open grass areas where we can walk. All pups are welcome on furniture at my place and are welcome to enjoy the space as their own. I do have a patio that they’re more than welcome to sit outside and enjoy with me.
“She was very nice. She responded very fast and sent lots of pictures. She gave updates everyday and let me know how everything was going. Would definitely book with her again”
“Angie did such a great job with my furbabies! I appreciate the fact she does this full time and works with such a variety of dogs and personalities. She was so kind, accommodating and loves what she does. Thanks Angie!”
About: I’m a caring, patient, and responsible pet lover who understands that pets are part of the family. I know how important it is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and keep you updated with photos and messages. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect I’d want someone to give my own. I maintain a consistent weekly routine and value being dependable and organized. I work full-time during the week, but I plan my time carefully to make sure I can give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m happy to accommodate morning and evening walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and weekend care based on my availability. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to stick to their normal routines and keep owners updated while they’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, dietary needs, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m attentive, patient, and responsible, and I make sure pets are supervised appropriately and kept in a safe environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions carefully. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own.
“Mikaela & Shane cared for my Colby Jack for a week and were wonderful. I received daily updates and everything was very positive. Colby was very well cared for and was very happy. I had to extend the visit because I was delayed returning from my trip and they kept him for 2 additional days. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them in the future.”
“Christiana and her family took excellent care of Nola while we were away. She sent daily pics & updates which made us feel at ease that Nola was being well taken care of and enjoying her stay. We will definitely have Nola stay 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!”
“Cari and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Russell. He got lots of walks, plenty of play time, and tons of snuggles. He especially liked playing with the girls. Will definitely use her again.”
“Gracie had an amazing stay with Joanne (& her family!) I enjoyed the communications and pictures during Gracie’s time in their home. Gracie enjoyed playtime with the kids and with the resident dog, Olivia. She had her kennel available, but enjoyed cuddles with their teenage son and quickly made herself a part of the family. I will certainly consider booking for future stays, and recommend Joanne to others!”
“Mitchell is an amazing choice for care for your furry friend! Took amazing photos of my pup and sent me daily updates! Was very communicative and flexible with pick up and drop off times as well. Would book Mitchell again!”
“Kayla was awesome ! Her communication was out of this world . My babygirl 🐶 really enjoyed her staycation . I’ll definitely book again — and if you’re considering booking with Kayla don’t hesitate!”
“Where to start??? Jessica is awesome!!! She made my first time using Rover a very comfortable experience. I have a Min Pin named Cairo that happens to be energetic and super clingy; naturally I was worried about him being a hyper menace but I was relieved to hear from Jessica a day in that he was settled in and already having fun. The updates I were provided were timely and appreciated - always good to know your baby is safe, happy, and well taken care of. I provided Jessica with everything she might’ve needed to ensure a good stay for Cairo and she followed everything to the T! I can’t continue raving about how great Jessica is with the pups. I am extremely pleased. Cairo will be back to hang out with his new friend!!”

We loved having Gianina take good care of our little Snicker's. We could tell that she was happy & calm being with her. Gianna truly loves & connects with the dogs in her charge. Sent pics that assured she was content & happy. I will recommend her & hope to board her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Colgate is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $64 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 773 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Colgate. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in Colgate 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 Colgate 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 Colgate.
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.
You and your Colgate 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.
