“Edith did a wonderful job taking care of our four-legged family member. She was caring, responsible, and an excellent communicator. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our pup was in such good hands.”
“Absolutely fantastic! Gave Odin so love, attention, and exercise! Gave updates throughout the week. Could not have asked for anyone better to care for my dog while I was away!”

“Val took great care of my two dogs. He was very responsive, flexible with drop off/pick up times, and sent updates with pictures throughout their stay. I would definitely use him again in the future.”
“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. 😊”
“Shawn was great! Sent picture updates and Caspian looked so happy and relaxed! He was super flexible and even worked with me as I needed to have a friend pick Cas for scheduling reasons. Thank you Shawn!”
“We're very happy with the care Kaycee and Robert provided are beloved labs!!! We recommend them if you're in need of pet sitting. They were very flexible and easy to communicate with. Will definitely use them again for our future needs.”
“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.”
“Ellen was a great sitter and we would definitely book her again. Her care and communication were top notch! We received many texts and videos each day giving us peace of mind. She is the best!”
“This family is so kind and caring, and they took such great care of our dog for 9 days. We got pictures and updates daily that made us feel at ease being gone so long. Bruce and Kristin were so flexible and easy going, and we are so fortunate to have found them. We feel like we struck gold with this sweet family and look forward to using them again!”
“We love Margaret & so does our pup, she’s at ease whenever she gets to the house and sees her favorite dog sitter. She’s the only Rover we choose and we couldn’t be happier with her excellent care!”
“Zoe was well cared for at Hannah and her family‘s home. We appreciated the updates and pictures very much. We will definitely have Zoe back again another time when we travel.”
“Thanks so much for always taking such great care of Ollie! I truly appreciate knowing he's in good hands, happy and snuggled while I'm away. ❤️”
“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.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful, trustworthy, and genuinely caring dog sitter! I cannot recommend Ruth highly enough! She took wonderful care of my dog, Titou, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ruth was responsible, attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely committed to making sure Titou felt comfortable, happy, and safe. I particularly appreciated her excellent communication and regular updates, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while we were apart. Ruth clearly understands that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routines. She approaches pet care with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. She provided a welcoming, secure environment where Titou felt completely at home. Finding someone you can truly trust with your beloved companion is invaluable. Titou was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust Ruth with him again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and conscientious dog sitter!”
“Tessa has been an absolute delight and I'm so glad to have trusted her with my Trixie. She helped celebrate Trixie's birthday and took her on so many walks and ample outside time! Highly recommend Tessa (and Tennessee)!”
“This was the first time my 6 now Boston and I were apart for multiple days. I knew immediately upon entering Lindsay’s home that it is a loving place. Her extensive experience with dogs is obvious. I appreciated the fact that Birdy would be exposed to other dogs, the outdoors and cuddles. Lindsay communicated appropriately: enough that I was confident Birdy was well but not so much that I was overly involved. YES! I highly recommend. We love Camp Lindsay. BEYOND THAT: my flight was cancelled for 3 days due to weather and Lindsay was flexible in fitting us in. Then, our return flight was delayed so I got back to town past bedtime. Lindsay was again cheerfully understanding. What a kind person!”
“Katie and Samuel were great to Jarvis and sent us several updates throughout his stay. They also have a gated backyard to help with energetic dogs. I would highly reccomend!”
About: Animals have been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember—from growing up around my family’s German Shepherd breeding and training work, to years of rescuing and fostering both dogs and cats. I can provide continuous supervision, regular potty and play breaks, and plenty of outdoor exercise tailored to each dog's energy level and temperament. My home currently includes one calm, dog-friendly resident cat, making for a peaceful, low-stress environment where guest dogs receive focused care and affection. I have worked with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies and kittens. I am experienced with administering medications and experienced with disabled dogs. I work remotely and am home full-time with a flexible work schedule. I can provide 24/7 care for your dog or cat. I am also available for walks throughout the day and week. While boarding in my home, I am able to be available for feeding or potty breaks as needed. I am able to watch the dog or cat to see what they need when. If I am providing drop in visits or walks, my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and evenings.
“If you're seeking a loving, attentive and communicative caretaker for your dog/s, you will find all that and more with Manuela. My dogs and i spend 24/7 together and Manuela cared for my pups for the first time we were separated. Needless to say I was anxious and nervous about displacing my pups from their home, routine and familiar surroundings. With the compassion, positive and gentle energy, Manuela made the adjustment possible. Pics of the pups daily fun and nap times were always provided. I became relaxed and confident I made the right choice in selecting Manuela to create a loving home and comfortable environment for the 4 days of their "vacation", making my time away from them manageable. 🙏 Manuela and hugs from me and my pack til we see you again!”

Kris and her family took such amazing care of our pup! She was incredibly flexible with timing and even met up with us beforehand so she could get to know him. While we were away, she sent us tons of pictures, videos, and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. We would 10000% recommend Kris and her family! ❤️
This was our first boarding experience with Morgan and she was awesome. Our dog is a bit anxious and slow to warm up to people. It was clear from the start that Morgan understands dogs and can match their energy. She took great care of our Rosie and sent regular updates. It was great to enjoy our vacation without worrying about the dog. We also had some flight issues on the way home and Morgan was flexible and helpful.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
93% of sitters in De Forest 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 De Forest home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 De Forest.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in De Forest. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your De Forest 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
