“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.”
“Rashelle was awesome and Willy had lots of fun playing with some new friends. ❤️ Rashelle’s communication was excellent with keeping me up to date with photos and sharing how Willy was doing. We will definitely be calling on Rashelle’s services 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!”
“We never worry when Suki is with Abbie and her wonderful family! She is always loved and well taken care of. We get great pictures and updates along the way and flexibility with pick up and drop off times.”
“Olivia was very open with communication before dropping off my kitten, she sent daily updates with photos, and she even bathed my kitten after her incident in the car. I believe my kitten was very well taken care of and was happy and healthy when she returned.”
“Such a great feeling to know your dog is actually loved & cared for like her own when you leave. Feeling like he actually misses Paula, her family & his new “friends”!! Great stay!! Wonderful communication during our vacation!!”
“We were looking for a special person to watch our two dogs while we were away. One of our dogs is insecure and the other has a lot of energy. We were so happy to find Beth! We wish we could give her 10 stars! She and her husband did such a great job with both pups. Beth was in regular communication and the pictures she sent told us everything we needed to know. The dogs looked so happy and comfortable. We are truly grateful for the wonderful care that was provided. A+++!!”
“Tiffany was very accommodating and welcoming of Ellie for her overnight stay. I know that Ellie was in good hands. Would definitely recommend Tiffany to anyone looking for a sitter.”
About: I’m an animal lover and experienced foster who truly enjoys caring for pets of all kinds. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I treat every pet like my own and love giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care. I’d be happy to care for your pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I’m a mom raising 2 more animal lovers, and by day a travel agent, and huge animal lover with a flexible schedule. I’m available for a variety of schedules, including weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. Pets in our home get kenneled if people aren't present. We don't have a fenced in yard, but have 3 tie outs in the yard. In a clients home it would be as a "what's needed/necessary" basis per the owner.
“Dylan and Whitney took awesome care of our 9 month old Lab, introducing them to their dogs, and keeping us updated. Dylan listened carefully to our tips for taking care of our dog, and clearly has experience with animals. This was our first night away from our puppy and it went really smooth. We feel very comfortable leaving her with them in the future. Thanks guys!”
“John did incredible with our dog, Rowan! Plenty of walks, belly rubs, and a fully fenced in yard. The total dream for Rowan! He even combed him out daily which we really appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend John for anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I love ALL animals but have been a pet parent to both cats and dogs for over 30 years. I have had big dogs, little dogs, senior dogs and puppies. They are my passion that I take very seriously. I currently work full-time from home (9-5) so I have plenty of time to provide daily and nightly care including feeding, playing and walks and whatever else your pet might need. I live in a large home with a completely fenced in back yard. I have two very friendly and chill senior dogs who get along well with dogs and cats. I also have a two year old cat who loves dogs.
About: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been in my own home - occasionally overnight. I have a fenced in back yard for my 3 dogs & 2 cats so I have experience with both :) I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.

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 Emerald 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 Emerald.
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 Emerald 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.
