“Heather gave frequent updates and pictures to ease my mind that our dog was well taken care of and also having fun. She was great in communicating pick up and drop off and offered a lot of flexibility. Thank you Heather!!!”
“I will definitely be using Melissa again if I need a dog sitter! This was my first time using Rover and was super nervous about leaving my pup with a stranger for the weekend. Melissa sent me pictures of Leia and reassured that she was doing great. When I brought her home, she passed right out! Could tell she had a fun filled weekend! Highly recommend Melissa!”
“Makenzie did a great job with our dog for an overnight stay. She is caring , reliable, and great with dogs! She treated our dog like he was her own. Our dog got along great with her dog and they played together nicely. I cannot recommend Makenzie enough. I had no worries the whole time we were away. It was so great knowing our boy was in good hands! Thank you so much and we will definitely be contacting Makenzie next time we need care for our dog!”
“Kristal did an awesome job taking care of our 'baby" and making her feel at home while we were out of state for a wedding. She kept us up on how Shasta was doing & sent pictures each day. It was good to see how she had found her favorite spot in their home & also enjoyed their outside fenced-in yard. Since they no longer have a dog of their own & only take in one boarder at a time, she had more attention than some days at home! We would definitely take her to Kristal again.”
“Our Gabe had fun, made a friend of their dog, was well taken care of and Kaylyn was great with communication! Would definitely recommend her and plan to schedule again for our next vacation!”
“I absolutly love Alex and her husband. They are very flexible and are wonderful with my boy. They have always welcomed him with open arms and are so easy and a joy to work with. I love getting pictures and updates while I am away and can always trust my boy will have a great time. It's also always a joy to see their two dogs. I know my dog is safe and happy with Alex while I am away.”
“Alex was great! Fantastic communications from the meet and greet through drop off and pick up. He sent photos of our pups almost every day. They were well taken care of and happy when we picked them up!”
“Meeko stayed with her for over a week, and we had a wonderful experience! Since he’s still a young puppy, I was nervous about leaving him, but he was well cared for and had a great time playing in the fenced-in yard. He came home happy, and it was clear he felt comfortable there. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Sara was awesome! Got pics and updates and so understanding when our plane was delayed! The dogs had a nice fenced in backyard to play abs got lots of love♥️ We absolutely love her and will use her again.”
“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 is very friendly and answers my message quickly my dog came back very tired from all the play her dog is also very playful this made a grate match for my dog Dexter.”
About: I have been dog sitting for over 20 years. Love dogs, and helping them have great experiences. I foster dogs, and volunteer at animal care clinics. I have two of my own pups, and a foster dog. I have schedule flexibility to provide care in your home, and there is a possibly of care in my home if all dogs get along. I have a fenced in potty area, and a huge yard. I strongly believe in positive training, positive reinforcement - I’ve taken training classes with my pups and foster pups in positive training methods and use that with all the dogs I engage with.
About: Big dogs, small dogs, medium dogs I can do it all! My family dog of 10+ just past away recently so this is how I'm filling that dog shaped hole in my heart. I live in a house with a large fenced in yard and work from home so your pup will get plenty of attention if you choose to board with me! I'm free at almost any day and any time! I prefer afternoons or evenings but I can do mornings as well if needed. My schedule is very flexible. My family dog of 10 years just died recently but before that he enjoyed a long and fulfilled life. I've also been cat sitting for friends and neighbors years now. The people I live with are allergic to cats so cat sitting is how I get to enjoy being around feline companions!
“This was our first overnight Rover experience and Bobbie and Clark (and their pooches) were rock stars! Stella had a ball and came home exhausted, but in a great way. Loved the pics they sent and it really seemed like they made her feel at home. Living out in the middle of nowhere, sometimes Stella doesn't get as much dog company as we'd like, but she had a chance to play and socialize in a big way! You bet we'll bring Stella to Bobbie and Clark again when we're trekking to Appleton for an overnight! Great job guys!”
“Very nice couple! We could tell they really cared about our dog and wanted to give her a good experience. She is older and has many different medications that need to be given at all different times and they handled all this very well. Highly recommend.”
“This was our first time having Korri & her husband watch our Frenchie while we went out of state for 3 days. They were absolutely fantastic!! We never worried once if our fur baby was being taken care of. Korri sent us pictures and updates, multiple times a day, which we really appreciated! They also followed his feeding and treat schedule. If you want your pet to stay with someone who will care for, and love your pet the way you do, look no further! Thanks for a great experience Korri! ?”

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. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
