“Michelle was great right from the start with sugesting the meet and greet. We had never left our dogs with a sitter and were quite anxious. She put us at ease and the puppies took to her right away. She was great with text, pictures and adjusting to thier schedules and needs. We are so delighted we have found her and will be booking again.”
“Alisha and Nick have been sitting for us for quite a while and they are the best we could ask for. They are very responsive to messages and have treated our fur kids like family! I highly recommend them!”
About: 20+ years of experience (that makes me feel old). Unofficial dog sitter for family and friends since high school. Loyal to my fellow dog loving friends sharing word of mouth recommendations, fostered a giant breed and helped find his forever home, loved my first dog for nearly 8 years, and now I would like to fill the void by helping care for your four legged family member. I have experience caring for senior dogs and puppies as well. I work fully remote, so I appreciate the screen breaks. I am able to go out for walks or outdoor time often. After losing my dog this summer, I do miss the quality time and walk routines. We joke that you better love dogs, but it is true. My home is setup to be dog friendly, maybe more rugs for traction on the vinyl plank floors. Animals are part of the family and that is how we treat guest pets as well. Living on 3 acres in the country, so a great space for outdoor activities. I am quite respectful when residing in another’s home and great at following instructions and/or preferred routines.
“Jennifer did a great job with our pup. We enjoyed the photos updates. She doesn’t have a fenced yard but she is not anywhere near a main road and had a nice space for him to go out. She also took him for walks often. Our dog was in good spirits when we picked him up. Would highly recommend using her!”
“Suki's first time with Lisa could not have been better! Lisa and her family were flexible and accommodating of our evolving schedule and took extra time to meet with us the day before to get everyone comfortable. Suki seemed right at home and was a very happy pup when we picked her up. We look forward to working with Lisa again!”
“Great stay as always! Suki runs into Ali's house like she owns the place and happily greets her family like they are old friends. This always make us feel comfortable leaving her and we never have to stress about her while we are away.”
“Julie took great care of Molly for me while I had to go out of town for about a week. Her dog, Gilbert, and cats were good companions, she has a great fenced-in backyard, and she kept me updated with pics and commentary about Molly's stay. Will definitely be back, thanks Julie!”
“This was Winnie’s first stay away from home and family and it could not have been a better experience! Mika and Andrew were fantastic in care provided and keeping us updated with pictures and videos. Highly recommend. Mika and Andrew will be my go to household when needing to board my Winnie!”
“Kathryn and her family are great. Used them a few times now. Very responsive and sends daily pic and video updates. Will continue to book with her in the future if available.”
About: I’ve had pets since childhood, but my greatest experience has come from fostering dogs as a family since 2018. Over the past 8 years, we’ve welcomed more than 50 dogs into our home, each with their own personality, history and needs. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, young adults, breeder-release and puppy-mill dogs, shelter and reservation dogs, and dogs returned to rescue. My experience includes fearful or shut-down dogs, high-energy dogs, separation anxiety, potty and crate training, medications, and medical or post-surgical care. Most of our fosters have been small to medium-sized dogs, with some larger breeds as well. I’ve learned that every dog adjusts differently, and I’m comfortable giving them the time, patience, routine and space they need to feel safe and settle in. Our own 9-year-old Chihuahua, Spotter, was one of our early fosters—we adopted him in 2019! Since then, he’s shared his home our foster dogs. Dogs staying with us aren’t treated like boarders; they become part of our family while they’re here. I work from home most weekdays, so dogs staying with us are rarely alone and naturally become part of my daily routine. They usually hang out with me in my home office, relax on the couch, or find their favorite cozy spot nearby. We have a large, privacy-fenced yard, and I build outdoor time into my day with morning, lunchtime and afternoon breaks, plus plenty of evening yard time. We also enjoy after-dinner walks. About once every five weeks I work in the office. On those days, my husband or son is often home, my husband can come home over lunch for a potty break, and my son is home from school by about 3:00. Because fostering has been part of our family life for years, having another dog in the house already feels like a normal part of our routine—not an interruption to it. Safety and comfort come first in our home. We have a large yard enclosed by a wooden privacy fence, and dogs are supervised outside until I know and trust their habits. Our deck can also be gated off for an additional secure area. Guest dogs live as part of our family rather than being separated into a boarding area. They’re welcome on the couch and furniture and can spend the day with me in my home office. At bedtime, I try to follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible—whether that means sleeping in their crate, on a dog bed, or another comfortable spot. Owners should bring their dog’s crate if they normally use one. Because we have a small senior Chihuahua, Spotter, all guest dogs must be dog-friendly and safe around smaller dogs. A meet-and-greet is an option before first-time guest doggy stays if there is concern. My years of fostering have taught me to watch body language, introduce dogs thoughtfully, and recognize when a dog needs extra space, reassurance or a slower adjustment. I’m also comfortable with medications, puppies, dogs still working on house-training, and dogs who may need extra patience settling into a new environment. Most importantly, I want your dog’s stay to feel as much like home as possible. I’ll follow the routines and instructions you provide and keep you connected with regular photo and message updates.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. I have always been an animal lover and have instilled that same love in my children. I would welcome your pet into my home and treat them like I would want someone to treat my family’s dogs - with lots of love and attention! You can trust me to take great care of your pet while you are away. I live on three acres so there is lots of room for your pet to safely walk, play and sniff around! :) I am also willing to do drop in visits in your home if you prefer, while you are away. I am available for pet sitting, walking and boarding mostly on evenings and weekends. I will also have availability over Christmas break and I am off over the summer, so my availability will open up quite a bit during those months. I have two friendly dogs and two friendly cats that are used to dogs. I would take your pet out on a leash since our yard is not fenced. I would let them out several times a day and feed them on a set schedule. They can sleep in a crate or possibly in a bed if that works out.
“We had an amazing experience with Carley and Austin! They took fantastic care of Walter and were so easy to work with. They are incredibly nice and kept me updated with great communication throughout the stay. We’ll definitely be using them again—highly recommend!”
“Dessirae is the best! This was our dogs' first stay with her, and it was great! The dogs loved her and her home. The dogs were not entirely sure that they wanted to return home with me, when I showed up to retrieve them today. I only hope that they were well behaved, as we hope that they will have future stays with her.”
“Scott took excellent care of Finnick when I was getting married nearby last weekend. He was very good at communicating and responding to messages, and made sure to send me cute pics of Finnick and his puppy Argus (so cute) playing together. You can tell he loves dogs and being able to provide quality care for them. I would Highly recommend Scott for your dog watching needs! Finn was absolutely tuckered when I picked him up.”
“Caitlin and her husband were such good carers! Comet absolutely loved being there, and hanging with their pup Jerry. Comet is definitely coming back to stay with them when we have to go out of town.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dahl
Heidi is amazing. She is very knowledgeable, passionate and caring in her work. Heidi was great in her communication with us as well. This was our first time using a non-family member to dog sit and we were nervous. Our dog came back happy and tired from all of her fun play. We are very happy to have found a trusted and reliable dog sitter.

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 Dahl 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 Dahl.
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 Dahl 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.
