“Cheryl did a great job watching our dog over the weekend. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. Bailey was happy and rested when we picked her up. Cheryl opens her whole home to the doggies she cares for.”
“Christiana and her family took excellent care of Nola while we were away. She sent daily pics & updates which made us feel at ease that Nola was being well taken care of and enjoying her stay. We will definitely have Nola stay again! ❤️”
“Maria and Nayibe were wonderful. My dog did great there. They sent lots of updates, photos, and videos. My dog loved the fenced in backyard. Maria even let my dog sleep in her bed at night! It was perfect. I could relax an enjoy my time away knowing that my dog was receiving such good care.”
“I have used Monique twice now to set a pretty energetic little dog. She has been so responsive, so accommodating, and so caring for my sweet little pup. I love that she sends pictures and updates about how my pet was acclimating to the new setting. Highly trust and recommend Monique and I can’t wait to use her again!”
“Cari was wonderful with our girl Toast! Toast can be pretty anxious, and Cari really took the time to help her warm up and feel comfortable in her home. She gave Toast lots of attention, and her kids were so sweet with her, too. Cari sent us plenty of pictures, which helped us relax and enjoy our time away knowing Toast was being so well cared for. We also really appreciated how flexible she was. It was such a great experience for both Toast and us, and we would happily book with Cari again!”
“Yolanda is always flexible, especially with last minute requests! My wife and I were in a pinch to find boarding before our wedding and Yolanda and her family totally stepped up. Our pup loves Yolanda and we couldn’t recommend her any higher.”
“Doreen watches our dog every vacation we’re on. She sends us updates everyday and we look forward to our daily picture she sends us. Very dependable and a great communicator. Thanks.”
“Jenifer is amazing! I’d never used Rover before, or had my pup stay with anyone other than my close friend. Since we were getting married, we needed to find a sitter for a couple nights and after seeing the very many good reviews about Jenifer, I thought I’d give it a shot and I’m so glad we did! She obviously loves dogs- dropping our pup off was easy since she had 2 huge baskets of toys for her to get excited over! She sent us pictures of our pup every day and was altogether reassuring and great. I’d do it again in a heartbeat- it’s so nice to know we have someone nearby we can trust with our baby!”
“Angela was absolutely amazing! I received multiple pictures a day of my dog enjoying spending time with her pups and family. She was treated her as if she was a part of the family. In fact, when I went to pick her up she didn’t want to leave ha! I would most definitely book Angela again in a heart beat. -Allie”
“Paul did an amazing job watching our pup! He "warned' us that he would try to exceed our expectations, and no question he absolutely did. We loved all the updates with photos, and the numerous offsite visits to parks was so fun to see. So comforting while we were such a long distance away. We'd recommend Paul to anyone!”
“Heather was the best ! Boarding Zoe with Heather & her family at their wonderful home was a perfect match for me (& Zoe!) Heather is very organized & prepared to deal with hosting a dog's individual behavior and adapting to their routine for the best results. Heather - having her own dog and another daycare dog to keep company & play with Zoe - was a perfect situation. She was very flexible with my drop-off & pick-up schedule which made all my travel arrangements "a breeze" with no worries. I couldn't be more pleased & recommend Heather without any hesitation. I hope my future travel plans will allow a repeat overnight for Zoe with Heather again !”
“My dog had a wonderful time at this house and I received many pictures of her having fun. The family was also accommodating to our needs when we had some trouble getting back at the time we predicted.”
“I can not say enough about the outstanding care our dog received from Scott and Ashley. We received frequent updates and messages to keep us up to date. We are so very grateful that they invited our dog into their home.”
“Micah was fantastic! Kepler was well taken care of and had a very exciting stay playing with her dogs Teddy and Echo. Micah is very loving and created a very welcoming and fun environment for our pet/baby. We will definitely use her again.”
“Amanda was wonderful. She took such good care of my dog and sent me lots of updates throughout his stay. She was super flexible and easy to get ahold of the entire time!”
“I'm so happy we found Becky! My little dog has a few special instructions in his old age, so I really appreciate her care and attention. He was happy and healthy when I picked him up.”
“Erin and family are the best. Wesley had a great time with them and got a new buddy Willow out of the deal. For sure will use Erin again. She had great communication and updated us everyday of Wes’s day.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hartford
We are so happy to find Denise. First, she is very responsive from the very first time we reached out. We can tell she loves animals and would take care of our furry baby with special care. Unfortunately, our dog was a bit of a trouble maker, Denise did not complain once, instead, she reached out to solve the problem we are very grateful. Denise definitely has patience and she makes extra time to ensure our little guy was taking care of, we could not ask for more. I would highly recommend her services.

84% of sitters in Hartford 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 Hartford 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 Hartford.
<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 Hartford 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.
