About: Have owned dogs all my life. Have had two huskies and one black lab. I think I can handle a husky I can handle anything ! All the time. Some weekends may be gone available all week long. Can be there whenever owner needs me to be. Work great with communication. I love being outdoors and going for walks so having a friend (the dog) will be fun. I have no problem walking dogs of any size.
“Stephanie is AMAZING! So happy we found her. She watched our 1 year old, Stanley, and sent me plenty of video/photo updates to ease my nerves while we were on vacation. I trust her now, as if we left him with a family member. I know she made him feel like he was at home, spoiled and loved!”
“Great set up with the yard...friendly dogs...and Tara and her husband were very communicative. Dealing with them made you feel like they really cared and it wasn't just a job. Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for many years, and I truly see them as part of the family. I’m taking a dog groomer certification course, which has given me hands-on experience handling dogs of many different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I am very comfortable reading a dog’s body language, recognizing when they’re nervous or uncomfortable, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’ve also helped in a dog daycare environment, where I gained experience caring for multiple dogs with different energy levels and needs. I’ve cared for dogs at all stages of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. My experience even includes assisting with a dog giving birth and helping care for newborn puppies. I understand how much attention and specialized care dogs can need during different stages of life. I’m comfortable following individual feeding, potty, medication, exercise, grooming, and daily care routines. I’m happy to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away and give them plenty of playtime, enrichment, affection, and cuddles. My goal is to provide the same loving, attentive care I’d want for my own dog—and to make sure you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I currently work a morning job 3 days a week until about noon, and I work afternoons mostly from home. i also live with multiple people who also can provide excellent care if I am away. My mother is also a Rover pet sitter :). We have our home sectioned off into 3 spots. a transition area for when your pet arrives. That leads into the living room where your pet is welcome on all furniture, plenty of space to play, and access to our fenced back yard. If your dog needs time to adjust to a new space this is a great option for them. We also have 2 bernedoodles, if your pet is comfortable then they are welcome into the the main space of the house with our dogs. They are gentle giants.
“Krystal and her dog Duke were great with Jack on his 7 day stay. I was nervous because he was attacked at feeding time by a sitter’s dog in the past, but Krystal put my mind at ease and promised if there was any issue she would find a way to keep them separate and make it work. I had no reason to be nervous, everything went fine and Jack had a good time. We will choose Krystal and Duke again!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. My very close family friends had a dog while i was growing up, so I know how to deal with older pets! My sister also has a pit bull so I know how to handle adorable pitties:) I have a yellow Labrador retriever. I know how to handle big and small dogs. I also work for a family that has two Bernie’s mountain dogs so I can handle 100+ lbs dogs! I take online courses during the day and have a coaching job at night. So I have a lot of free time during the day especially in between lunch time and dinner time! My fur baby loves to play outside any time of the day! She is friendly with other dogs and I can crate her if needed! I have a hill in my back yard that all dogs love to run on! I don’t have a fenced in yard, however I do have an electric fence!
“10/10 Highly recommend! Jamie did an amazing job with our pups. We haven't left them before for any period of time, so were a bit nervous about how they would do. Jamie was exactly the person they needed. She welcomed them into her home and made their stay absolutely perfect.”
“Julia and Adam were great and I know our 2 dogs got the best care. Julia took them for a walk and gave them plenty of exercise. They were very accommodating when I asked to change my pickup time. I highly recommend them as a caring pet sitter.”
“Zoe had an amazing time with this family who have huskies too. She had so much fun and got a lot of exercise! I really appreciate Bobbie taking her last night with short notice. Highly recommend Bobbie and Clark for taking care of any breed. I will definitely bring Zoe over again.”
“Ram and Anu were fantastic! They sent videos, photos and even brought Nikky to visit me at the hospital for a couple hours. They treated Nikky like their own... plenty of love and interaction and fun. I will definitely book them again. I recommend them to anyone who truly loves their pet. I loved the photos of their daughter reading to Nikky and played with him. Their Chocolate Lab was a great buddy for Nikky. They played very well together.”

Highly recommend. We had a last minute need for pet sitting due to a family emergency. Heather was very accommodating and accepting of our situation as we booked one day in advance. Her and her pups were great hosts to our two dogs (Apollo: pitbull lab mix and Zola: King Charles Cavalier); they all got along instantly. She was very knowledgeable about caring for our pups—one has a daily medication. The yard was nice and large for the dogs to run around and play. She also made our very nervous/anxious Cavalier feel comfortable. We got regular updates and photos.
Kerstyn was an absolute lifesaver! I needed someone at the last minute and they jumped right in to help on super short notice.They sent tons of great photo updates so I never had to worry, and they treated my dog like their own. I came back to a super happy, relaxed pup. 10/10 recommend and will definitely be booking them again!
If you’re looking for a top notch spot for your pet in Green Bay, look no further! Olivia is the definition of a caring and attentive pet sitter. We boarded our dog with her while we were vacationing in Door County. She took excellent care of our pup, sending pictures, daily updates, and responded right away to our inquiries. Additionally, Olivia provided walks, fun treats, and lots of playtime for our dog. We would absolutely choose Olivia again when searching for a Rover.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Howard is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per night.

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.
94% of sitters in Howard 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 Howard 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 Howard.
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 Howard 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.
