“We just completed our dogs 3rd stay at Sarah and Zach's house and we already have stay #4 booked. Our always have so much fun and get lots of outdoor playtime. We love the photo and video updates and especially enjoy knowing they are being so well cared for while we are away.”
“Such a treat to have Duane & Lauren take care of my pup, Rapha while I was away. They are very responsive and attentive to the needs of both owner and doggie. Thank you!”
“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 had a great experience with Stefanie! Ella seemed very happy and content with her stay. We received lovely photos and I felt like our pup was in very good hands:)”
“Michelle and her family cared for Chuck as if he was their own. As a dog that struggles with separation anxiety, I worry about going away, but the pictures and updates about Chuck showed him to be comfortable and relaxed. Michelle was easy to work with and clearly an animal lover.”
“Toni was amazing! This was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter and we were so impressed! Annie clearly had a ton of fun, she came back absolutely pooped! Toni also sent us lots of updates and pictures :)”
“Holly & Ana Maria were absolutely wonderful with our dog! He stayed with them for about a week and had the time of his life with their friendly dogs and cat. Holly & Ana Maria are kind and patient and were attentive to our dog’s needs (feeding schedule, walks, potty breaks, sleeping arrangement). They kept updating us about his meals, demeanor, and walks with cute pictures and messages. Our dog was very comfortable and happy with them for that week. We will definitely book them next time we are out of town. We entrusted them with our dog and they certainly delivered. We highly recommend them! 💙 Thank you Holly & Ana Maria for giving our dog love and care. He had a great time with his new human caretakers and animal friends!”
“Lucy had a great weekend with Jennifer! She got along great with Oscar. Tick season is pretty bad this year and Jennifer made sure to look over Lucy and keep her tick-free!”
“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.”
“Very friendly and dependable. Timely communication, and great pictures and updates during the stay. Confident that Louie got lots of attention, exercise, doggy socialization, and love.”
“Allison went above and beyond! She treated my dog like she was her own, and I felt completely at ease while I was away. I’m definitely pretty particular about who I trust with my dog, and I had absolutely no hesitations with Allison. She was so caring and loved sending all the pictures (which I obviously LOVED ). It was clear my pup was having the best time and was so well cared for. I would 100% have Allison watch her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Many others rejected my pitty because he’s a huge chicken that barks at strangers. Emma was not only willing to give him a chance, but also willing to be patient with him during the meet and greet. My dog quickly warmed up to her, which isn’t always the case with him. He had an absolute blast during his stay! I could tell how comfortable he was in the pictures sent. When I got back he was in such a good mood and was so happy to see me. Fantastic experience, I would feel comfortable leaving my boy with Emma any time!”
“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 am so glad we chose Cleda to watch our sweet girl Coda during our week-long trip. I was so nervous to leave her, as she is a shy, anxious pup and this was her first time away from us since we adopted her. But from Cleda's first picture update less than an hour after we dropped her off, I could tell Coda was in the best hands and already comfortable with Cleda. We so appreciated Cleda's daily updates and we felt like we could really tell Coda was enjoying her stay and what she was up to. We definitely plan to return to Cleda for all future dog-sitting needs, and we know our pup will be so happy about that! Thanks Cleda & Roxie!”
“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”
“Manu was great with Pumpkin! She made sure that she knew Pump's background, likes/dislikes, and anything unique we wanted her to accommodate. She gave us regular updates, including photos, so we were confident Pumpkin was doing well. Thanks, Manu!”
“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)!”
“Mary and her family were absolutely wonderful sitters for Grizzy! They took great care of him during a cold snap, making sure he was warm and comfortable. Mary sent wonderful updates and absolutely adorable pictures, and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Lindsey was amazing! Our dog presented some challenges (he jumped a fence, broke out of a crate and sprained his tail!) but she rolled with them and took fantastic care of him. Communication was great, and the setup was fantastic (big yard, friendly dog there to play with). I would be excited to recommend Lindsey to anyone.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Deforest
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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Deforest is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $60 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.

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 Deforest 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 Deforest 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 Deforest.
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 Deforest. 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 Deforest 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.
