“Pretzel has a great 2 week stay. Duane& Lauren took great care of him and he has lots of playtime and walks to keep him busy. Their place is warm and cozy even in the cold winter!”
“We absolutely, 100% recommend Edith S. as a pet sitter. She is thoughtful, kind and really loved our little dog while we were gone. Multiple pictures and little stories daily put us completely at ease while we gone. We feel very lucky and grateful to have found her.”
“Kaycee and Robert are the best! They took such good care of our little dog, who has never spent time away from us. They took him on walks, played with him, and kept him warm and safe. Our dog loved Tank (their dog) and the kids. He had a blast with this lovely family. They are kind and warm people who took excellent care of our dog. It is evident that they are expert dog owners who have fostered and trained many dogs. We will definitely book them next time we leave town. We highly recommend them!”
“Brandon and Katy are lovely! They were very helpful moving my dog's crate and getting him settled. Sammy had a great time playing and cuddling.”
“Holly and Ana Maria were incredible! They were extremy communicative, very very sweet and kept me in the loop with how Leche was doing every single day. Holly and Maria have both cats and dogs that are extremely well socialized around other cats. Though Leche was scared at first, she was able to get more and more comfortable each day and I knew this because Ana Maria was keeping me updated frequently with pictures and videos showing Leche's progress. They played with her, fed her, gave her space and lots of love! Thank you Holly and Ana Maria! I would recommend anyone decide to go with them for their pet sitting needs. :)”
“Derek and Yoki did a wonderful job taking care of our dog (Captain). They provided great updates and some of the best photos I have seen of Captain. I would highly reccomend them for boarding services.”
“Paula was great! Our pup is sweet, but a lot to handle at times, and Paula took it in stride. Paula is great with communication and even sends some pictures while you’re away. Would definitely use her again!”
“Stephanie was an amazing sitter. She messaged me daily with pictures too. Walks, playtime and belly rubs were a daily occurrence with Mack. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come back home. 😊”
“It is always a great feeling when we have to leave our dogs with Michelle and her family. We know they are in good hands and get treated like family when they are staying at their house. The daily updates and picture are so appreciated.”
“Katie, Samuel, and their family always take such good care of our Jarvis! They send frequent updates and always make sure that he has everything he needs to be comfortable while there. We know we can always trust them. We look forward to our next booking with them :)”
“We felt Teddy was very well taken care of. He got lots of love, plenty of tennis ball throws, and sweet cuddles from Heather and her daughter. It felt great knowing Teddy was in such good hands while we were away.”
“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”
“Beth and her family were wonderful and cared so well for my older husky mix Zelda! Z settled in well & they were very accommodating for all of her needs. The teenage boys gave her lots of attention. Zelda was very comfortable there. Great communication, sweet people, and easy folks to talk to. Will definitely book again!”
“Sarah was wonderful with Jake and Meme while we were away for a couple of days! She had great communication, kept us updated, and did a fantastic job picking up on their individual cues and personalities. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Thanks so much for taking such great care of them, Sarah! We really appreciate everything!”
“Manuela took great care of our dog, Izzy, for the week. She asked detailed questions about Izzy's care routine to make sure the transition was as smooth as possible. We received photos and updates throughout the stay. We'd be happy for Izzy to stay with her again.”
“My boy had the BEST time with Manjusha & Midhun! They went above and beyond caring for him - several photo/video updates, walks, treats, and cuddles. They made sure he was comfortable, loved, and spoiled as much as possible during his stay and I truly couldn’t have asked for better care. Zero complaints and highly, highly recommend! ❤️🥰”
“Angelica was fantastic! She took care of our dog with lots of love. Took her out for walks and played with her. Also fed her well and followed our dog diet restriction. Definitely we will contact Angelica again! Angelica fue fantástica! Cuidó muy bien de nuestra perra con mucho cariño. La sacó a caminar y jugó con ella. Fue muy atenta al seguir al pie de la letra el regimen alimenticio que nuestra perra debía tener. Definitivamente, volveremos a contactar a Angelica!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cottage Grove
Amanda and her family were exceptional. Our pup, Piper, was well taken care of. Amanda provided daily photos and each one showed us a happy dog that was living her best life. Amanda's communication prior to and during Piper's stay was extremely thorough and put our minds at ease that we chose well. While we like to take trips that allow us to take Piper with us, if the need ever arises again, we would absolutely want Piper to stay with Amanda and her family again.
Shelly was absolutely AMAZING with Khaos. He can be a lot (at 130 lbs and all that puppy exuberance), but she handled him with love, care and calm. He loved being with her, and it put my mind at ease knowing he was receiving such great care. Highly recommend. Will absolutely be going back to her.

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 Cottage Grove 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 Cottage Grove.
<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 Cottage Grove 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.

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.

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.
