“Ricardo (and Maggie) were awesome with Leo. He clearly was engaged until he could just do no more. Ricardo hosted him during a football game for us, and Leo slept the 4.5 hour drive home and then through out the night and long into the next morning! I definitely hope to be able to have him host Leo for us again when we are back in Madison.”

“Jackie was an awesome sitter for Scout for our long weekend vacation. Communication was great, drop off and pick up were easy and it was clear Scout was really well taken care of. He slept all day after getting home so we know he got plenty of play and exercise. Would definitely recommend Jackie if you're looking for someone to take great care of your pup!”

“Trip had such a great vacation with Cilyr! My husband and I were concerned Trip would not going to want to come home with us! Every day they had an adventure- hiking, hunting treats in a back yard, and going for pup cups! He had walks with another Cairn Terrier that Cilyr takes care of. He was happy to see us but I know he'd love to back as soon as possible! Cilyr did a great job introducing Trip to her pup and is so knowledgeable about dog behavior. She sent us daily pictures and updates on Trip and his adventures. I highly recommend Cilyr to care for your pup. It was great to know he was in such great care!”

About: I’ve been working with animals for over 10 years and have 8 years of experience as a dog trainer. I welcome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and medical histories, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. My goal is to ensure that both you and your dog feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during our time together. 😊 I currently work part-time at a veterinary clinic, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive, hands-on care for the pets staying with me. :) Each pet receives individualized one-on-one attention (or family time together for pets from the same household) to help them feel comfortable, safe, and loved during their stay. Dogs are given frequent potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and downtime throughout the day to support proper decompression and make their stay as happy and stress-free as possible. I require a one-night trial stay OR a drop-in day for all new dogs before booking a longer stay. This helps ensure your dog feels comfortable in my home, as new environments, sights, and smells can sometimes trigger different emotional responses. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, secure, and relaxed. :) I provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. At my home, dogs have access to a fenced outdoor area for potty breaks, playtime, and exercise throughout the day. At night, pets stay in roomy kennels located in a quiet, temperature-controlled space to ensure they can rest comfortably and safely. Kennels will also be used during the day if I need to briefly step out of the house, or for breaks throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual routine and needs, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise preferences, and any special care instructions. I also encourage owners to bring familiar items such as beds, toys, treats, or food to help their dog feel more at home during their stay. I welcome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I strive to make sure every pet receives patient, attentive care tailored to them. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or specific requests!

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.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Deforest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 449 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Deforest. About 91% of Deforest sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
