“Beth took in Nala after our original plans fell through and everything went wonderful. She kept us updated throughout our stay and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable. They treated Nala like she was their own. She came home happy! Will book again without hesitation. Highly recommended.”

“I have never left my dogs with anyone and was a little nervous at how they may act being with total strangers. My dogs were so incredibly happy with Erin. I received photos throughout their stay and they did not want to leave when we picked them up . I would highly recommend her. You know she loves animals when yours don’t want to come home. I will be using her services again.”

“David was really good with the dogs. Our dogs quickly ‘adopted’ their new Humans and appeared quite happy throughout their visit. David has a nice palace for the dogs to run and play. We will not hesitate to board our dogs with David in the future.”

“Amber was amazing! Her and her family helped take great care of my 3 month old pup for a few days while we were in the process of moving. She was super accommodating and helpful, taking him in just hours after us contacting her very last minute while stressed trying to figure out what to do with him. Taking in his “puppy shenanigans” and all like he was one of her own. Amber made sure to keep me updated about how his was doing helping to ease my mind of having him away from home for the first time. Sending me pictures/videos and messages about how his day was going. She also took the time to make sure that my pup was comfortable and entertained. Taking him on walks and being able to run around and play in the yard. Letting him go at his own pace and doing what made him feel safe when he didn’t like the rain or was was scared by her dog at first (he wasn’t the biggest one around anymore and couldn’t terrorize/annoy every living thing like he normally likes to do). She even went the extra mile to wash his bed after an accident over night and have him and all of his stuff packed up nicely and ready to go for me when I got there. My little boy loved playing with her and her family. And having the other dogs around for him to interact with was a bonus. When I tell you he was so excited when he first met them that I didn’t even get a second look over the shoulder or a goodbye before he took off to play with one of the kids ? (I’m still emotionally processing his betrayal ?). I could not recommend Amber enough! Your pet will be greatly taken care of (Not to mention worn out….he’s been napping since the moment we put him in the car) and all of your worries will fade the moment you get there.”


“Jamie was great - excellent communication, was flexible and adjusted times/days accordingly as our travel plans changed. Pets were totally fine when we returned and seemed well exercised, even with poor weather conditions. Would recommend and will hire again!”

“Ellen did a wonderful job caring for our dog. She provided updates and pictures throughout the stay, and was extremely prompt and responsive. Our dog had a blast playing with her dogs, and enjoyed her large fenced in yard—I think it was hard to leave his new friends to come home!”


“Penny was with Ruby and her "pack" for an extended stay this time. Based on the videos Ruby sent, Penny had a wonderful time playing and romping with her new friends! The socialization Penny gets when she's with several other dogs is so good for her. Penny was actually rather sad for a few days after she came home. I'm pretty sure she was missing her pals! Thanks so much, Ruby!”

About: I’m a huge animal lover. I have had dogs since I was 5 and trained each one. Love going on walks and going to the park with them. Give them my full attention and care. I’ve volunteered at the humane society before and have also worked on a game reserve. Received a bachelor’s in biology and worked for a vet clinic for 2 years, so your pet will get all the care and love it needs and much more. I’ll make sure your pet is comfortable and happy. I will continue to train dog as well as needed with permission. Very outgoing and bubbly girl with a passion to help out people as well as animals in anyway I can. I have open availability during the week and weekends so I have plenty of time to play with your fur kiddo. I’ll work with your schedule the best my ability to meet your care needs and desires. I have a dog park within a few miles of my apartment complex so your pup will have plenty of space to run and play. I also have a loving 5 year old husky and 2 year old pitbull that will keep your kiddo company and have endless play. While at your home I’ll care for your pet as my own and continue to provide training if need be. If your pet is crate trained I have no problem crating. If pet on medication, I’m very capable to give pets meds to both cats and dogs.
“Emma was awesome! She had our shetland sheepdog for over two weeks. We did a meet and greet to make sure everyone would get along. It went well and we were very comfortable leaving Nikki for a long time with Emma. Communication was fast for everything. Emma sent pics and an update almost everyday. Nikki was clearly enjoying herself. We would definitely have Emma dogsit Nikki again.”


“Sarah was wonderful with Jake and Meme while we were away for a couple of days! She had great communication, kept us updated, and did a fantastic job picking up on their individual cues and personalities. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Thanks so much for taking such great care of them, Sarah! We really appreciate everything!”

“Kayla was responsive when communicating w/us including pictures of our pet throughout her stay to assure us our pup was in good hands. She accommodated our dogs separation anxiety needs and was able to make our pup feel comfortable during her short stay. Recommend.”
“Alissa was great! Our first Rover we picked was no show and Alissa without notice or early booking took care of Hank, we really appreciate the last minute booking. Communication with Alissa was on spot, she texted and sent pictures!”

“Sadie’s was a great pet caregiver to our 4 month old puppy. This was the first time we left him with someone for a few days, and, he loved it! She shared pictures throughout his stay of his playtime and nap time. He was a tired puppy when he came home. He will visit with her again!”

“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!”


“Lisa gave our coco excellent care over the weekend. She sent us updated photos as to how coco was doing during her stay with them. Coco had a blast!! Thank you Lisa for creating a safe, super fun weekend for our little coco. Coco can not wait to start doggy daycare by Lisa too!! If there were more than 5 stars I’d give them all to this pet sitter❤️❤️❤️”

“Jacob took great care of our 2 pups! It was such a last minute trip and changes needed to be made and he just rolled with punches which put us at such ease. He sent lots of pictures and sent us many updates! Will def book with him again!”

“Kayla was fantastic with communication during Hudson and Nadia's visit. It was our first time leaving home together since moving to WA state, and had trouble finding a trusted sitter. We will be using Kayla and Jason again in the future for our sitting needs. :)”

“Micah was so great with our pup. She kept us informed everyday on how she was doing and sent us pics and videos! She kept her active as well which is really great for our dog. This made our vacation much more enjoyable knowing she was given a bunch of love and attention!”

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.
100% of sitters in Fox Lake 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 Fox Lake 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 Fox Lake.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Fox Lake 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.
