“We had an excellent experience with Nicole! She was reliable and communicative. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality, trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Ines was awesome! Great communication leading up to and during my puppies visit. Despite a rainy day, she found time to take Lady to the dog park and for a nice walk by the lake. She sent some great photos. Lady was well cared for and I would recommend Ines to anyone looking for a dog sitter”
“Cynthia was again so wonderful. I cannot speak highly enough about how caring and attentive she is with my dog and how communicative and helpful she is with me.”
“I would recommend Ndaziona to anyone who wants a great dog setter. Nikita was given best care anyone could ask for. During the time that she was with this family we continually got updates and pictures setting our mind at ease, knowing she was getting the best care we could have asked for. Again I would highly recommend this setter.”
“Cleda was great with our pups! Easy drop off and oick up. She kept us updated with photos and texts all weekend and the boys came home happy and tired! We will definitely use Cleda again.”
“Gina is great! We did a meet and greet first so her and my dogs could get acquainted, and to make sure it would be safe for all. She sent me pics of my boys while I was away and I really appreciated that! She treated my boys like her own fur babies! I highly recommend Gina! 5 stars for sure!”
“Caroline was an amazing host to my golden retriever, Lottie. Lottie was immediately excited to hang out with her, was sad to come home, and looked delighted in all of the photos in between. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby!!”
“Cub had an amazing time staying with Lee for an extended weekend. We got daily updates and pictures/videos, and Lee has a great fenced in backyard for dogs to run around and play in. He was also very flexible with drop off and pickup times which was extremely convenient.”
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.
About: I have been in the vet med field for about 7 years. During this time I have acquired many skills from that would set me apart from many other sitters. Hello everyone! I live a few minutes from Sun Prairie, although, I do work on the west side off of University Ave. I am typically available early morning or after working hours or on lunch breaks. I am also super flexible! We have 3 cats! I usually keep my pets in our finished basement during boarding stays. I am available for walks, potty breaks, meals/medications, and nail trims, at your request.
“Nicole is amazing. My dogs both adored her and enjoyed their stay in her home. Nicole very much loves and knows dogs! Our family was super relaxed on our vacation knowing they were very well cared for. She was very flexible and responsive.”
“From the beginning, Marlene was extremely flexible in coordinating Freya’s stay. Throughout Freya’s stay, I received consistent updates and pictures, which made me smile each time I saw them. I could tell, both from the pictures and from Freya’s great mood when I arrived for pick up, that she had fun and felt comfortable with Marlene. I was thrilled with Marlene’s services, and I would trust Freya with her any time. I highly recommend Marlene to anyone!!”
About: Friendly, warm, and welcoming. I have plenty of indoor and outdoor space to roam in my home plus a fenced in backyard. I've had dogs in the home since I was child and have been caring full-time for my dog for 7 years. I have previous experience with in-home boarding for some of my co-workers and have cared for dogs with nervous bladders. I currently work full time, but am always home in the evenings for plenty of playtime and walks. I can be flexible with pick up and drop off times with at least a day's notice to work with your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of space to roam inside my home. Dogs are welcome on the furniture or in bed if they need some extra cuddle time. I can crate your dogs if needed during the day and my own pup is crate trained for while I'm away.
“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.”
“Maria was amazing! We felt so confident in leaving our bot with her. We got great update pics and fast communication. My husband and I had many difficulties with our travel arrangements and Maria was very flexible and understanding.”
“Samantha was amazing with my pup! She made me feel like Koda would be safe and loved as soon as we met her. Plus, she sent me multiple photos throughout the day and was very timely in her responses. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future :)”
“Taylor is a fantastic sitter!! Super friendly, she sent daily pictures and updates of our sweet Maggie. It was truly a home away from home from her. Next time we're out of town, Taylor will be the first to come to mind!”
“Highly recommend!! Laura was great with Freya and sent me updates and pictures while I was away! I could tell that Freya had a great time and she was very well taken care of!”

Pet 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.
