âJessica was amazing!! Her communication throughout booking and confirming were top notch. Our little Looper had so much fun at Jessica's house, he returned happy and worn out!! We truly appreciate the care Jessica gave to our pup, and would absolutely recommend! We will be booking again in the future. Thank you, Jessica!!â
âAfter my meet and greet with Emily, I was instantly at ease and knew my young golden retriever would be in good hands. She was very communicative, checking in with me every day to let me know how things were going and what they got up to, and she always included photos! Emily was very flexible both for drop-off/pickup and for stopping by her house over lunch for the first couple of days to check on my pup. Her having a golden retriever of her own and a couple of sweet kids who gave my dog so much love was also a bonus!â
âPretzel has a great 2 week stay. Duane& Lauren took great care of him and he has lots of playtime and walks to keep him busy. Their place is warm and cozy even in the cold winter!â
âThe kids were happy. Good communication, lots of photos and video. It was a great place with a good yard for them to play. She took good care of our perrhijos.â
âBrandi was wonderful from drop off to pick up. Lots of updates on our pup while we were gone on a week vacation. He is still a puppy and lots of energy so we were glad he could be with someone in their home while we were away. Definitely would recommend.â
âKaty and DJ do a great job! They give great care towards our dog and do a really good job communicating and providing updates. Denali loves going to their house and starts crying (in excitement) when we turn the corner! Thank you for loving our dog and taking such good care of her!â
âLast minute booking and sitter was super accommodating! Kept me posted with pics and videos. I felt super comfortable and that my pup was in good hands as soon as I walked in the door! Highly highly recommend!â
âBrandon 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.â
âShawn 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!â
âHighly recommend! Heather put my mind at ease while away from my fur baby. She sent daily updates/photos to assure me all was well with my pup. Heather worked with my dog on some behavioral issues as well! She treated my dog as one of her own, truly happy with how the extended overnight stay went; hope to use her again and again in the futureâ
âRyan took great care of our two doodles while we were away on a family vacation. We really appreciated the pictures and daily updates on how they were doing. I would definitely consider using Ryan's services again and encourage anyone who is looking for special care of their fur baby to consider Ryan.â
âRosie was happy when I picked her up. The next morning she was back to her usual self. With some other sitters, it can take one to three days for her to be back to her usual self. So just from that Iâd say Alyssa did a nice job.â
âGreat communication, fairly short notice booking and everything worked out great. Copper had a great time and weâd book again. Loved seeing the photos of Copper while we were away.â
âTony was great and we love getting pictures of her every day! Mishu is happy there and it makes it easier to go on vacation without her. I 100% recommend booking with Tony!â
âDelta had no hesitation to go to Bradâs house, and seemed happy and at ease when we picked her up. Brad had great communication and sent many photos! It made us feel comfortable using Rover for the first timeâ

Jessica and her sister opened their home to my very energetic dog, which I am thankful for. They gave her cuddles and gave her a warm place to sleep! Jessicaâs communication before and after the visit was great, though I wouldâve loved a couple more updates throughout the week. My dog came home with a swollen and bent tail, though this was likely due to her being energetic and bursting through her cage in the morning. Just wish there was a bit more communication about that! Other than that, Jessica was great to work with.
Bristol appeared to be well cared for. we did not see Maura at the end of Bristol's stay. It was her first time at a dog sitter and it was a long one. Bristol had many dog friends to get to know. We thought we'd try having Bristol at someone's home instead of at a boarding kennel. We were learning also. We have no idea if everything went as we instructed. We assume it did. There was no actual way of evaluating.

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 dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Fort Atkinson can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs 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 dogâs 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 Fort Atkinson 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 Fort Atkinson.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs 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 Fort Atkinson. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Fort Atkinson sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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. Youâll 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.
