“I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Ashley and her family. Penelope has stayed with Ashley before, and it is so clear how much they genuinely adore her — and the feeling is absolutely mutual! Ashley is incredible about sending me photos and little updates throughout the day, so I always know how Penelope is doing and what kind of fun she is getting into. There is such a difference between knowing your pet is being well cared for and knowing she is being genuinely loved while you’re away, and with Ashley, I never have to worry for a second. Her entire family is so incredibly sweet to Penelope, and she is clearly completely comfortable and happy in their home. When I picked her up today, she genuinely seemed like she would have preferred to stay with them rather than come home with me — which I suppose is the highest praise a pet sitter can receive 😂 Ashley has become someone I completely trust with Penelope, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We will absolutely be back!”
“My boys had a wonderful stay with Maria and Nayibe! They are so caring and really loved our boys as if they were their own. Maria and Nayibe also kept me up to date about how the boys were doing as well as taking care of our senior dog with all his medications and specialized food. I cannot recommend Maria and Nayibe more, and, in fact, I have already booked another stay for the boys this summer!”
About: I have experience caring for my own dog and other pets, plus volunteering with shelter cats. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities! I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, with a more flexible schedule for pet drop-ins on Fridays since I work remotely. I’m available most evenings after 5 PM and have open availability on weekends to provide your pets with reliable, loving care! When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to stick to their daily routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I follow all owner instructions and provide plenty of love, attention, and comfort so pets feel safe and at ease. I also keep their space tidy and send regular updates and photos to keep owners informed. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and ensure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away!
“We couldn't be happier with Sarah! Her and her family were incredibly reliable, warm & welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure Moose was comfortable and well-cared for. When our flight was changed last minute, Sarah was understanding and flexible. We appreciated the daily updates and so many amazing photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy Moose was during his stay. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We will absolutely be rebooking for our next vacation.”
“Cindy took great care of our pup. She clearly had fun playing with Cindy’s dogs. We were able to meet ahead of time which made us very comfortable. Communication was excellent the whole time. I highly recommend her for your pups needs.”
“Angela was amazing!! She took great care of my Hodi. I have never left my boy before so l was very nervous. We did a meet and greet before hand which made me feel more comfortable. Angela sent pictures and text update daily. I HIGHLY recommend her to watch your furbaby. My boy had the best time. Thank you Angela and family🥰”
“Jessica and her family were awesome! They took care of Felix like he is one of their own. I loved getting the picture and message updates. His vacation was just as great as ours, and now he has a new pal with Chippy. 😁”
“Our dog Lola loves Yolanda. We miss her so much when we go out of town but we know she is getting excellent care and lots of love each time she stays. Yolanda sends plenty of updates and pictures. Lola ran over to Yolanda to get more pets and cuddles right before we left, which says it all.”
“Alexis is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend her! She sent us daily updates and I know that our dog absolutely adores her. We will be using her in the future.”
“Maggie was so accommodating and thoughtful when it came to our big boy with a bad leg. She was comfortable with his mobility needs and medication. It was obvious Finn was very loved while we were away!”
“Mary took excellent care of Mack! She was very communicative, sending us updates, photos and videos. Mack got so much play with his new dog friends. We will definitely ask Mary to care for Mack in the future!”
“Gabriel did such a nice job keeping my 12 week old puppy overnight. His dog Mel and my puppy got along great. I will definitely book Gabriel again. Thank you Gabriel and Mel!”
“Michelle was so sweet with our pup. She sent a bunch of pictures and really treated her as if she was her own dog. Tons of walk, toys and love. Thank you Michelle! We'll be using you again :)”
“Elizabeth is so friendly I immediately knew Spike was in good hands. Even better, her two boys are full of joy and were ready to pet and snuggle with my pup. When I came to pick Spike up, he looked ready to stay with his new friends!”
“My pup, Daisy, appears to have had a great time. Jill sent videos of her playing, which warmed my heart and left me at peace, knowing Daisy is being taken care of! I will definitely rebook with Jill. Thank you so much.”
“Jennifer was very friendly and receptive to everything. I had to tell her about Kona. She kept me updated with pictures and let me feel confident that she was well taken care of They had two dogs that were very friendly with Kona.”
“Absolutely amazing people! They took exceptional care of my dog, and it was obvious he was happy, comfortable, and loved while he was with them. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring people to look after their pet. Thank you so much!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elm Grove
Wilco couldn’t tell us about his week with Nicole, Mirrah, and the family, but his body language clearly said, “I can vacation here anytime!” His GPS and activity collar (something like a fitbit) showed a history of playtime and exercise levels comparable to what he has with us. Nicole’s frequent update pix may have exposed some pampering above and beyond home. It was a worry-free experience for us and an overall good time for Wilco.

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 Elm Grove 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 Elm Grove 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 Elm Grove.
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 Elm Grove. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Elm Grove 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.
