“Heather and her husband were so great with our dog, Sheeva. It was our first Rover experience and we had a wonderful experience with them. They sent photos and updates every day so we could see how she was doing and that was very much appreciated. Sheeva was a happy and tired girl when we picked her up so it was clear she had a great time. We will be booking with Heather again!”
“My older pug sounds horrible when he breathes, but we are used to it and didn’t give Melissa enough information. She made sure we knew Harley wasn’t settling in very good and she was concerned. After sharing some ideas, they all settled down. Jelly Bean, my young pug, was entertained all weekend and both came home healthy and Happy! She is set up well for caring for our babies!”
“Mary was amazing!! My dog does not normally like new people but he loved Mary and she took great care of him. I even had to book last minute because of a funeral. I was able to be fully present with my family at our time of loss because my dog was so well cared for. Thanks Mary!!”
“Mackenzie was so great caring for our dogs Zoe and Lacy! Was so relaxing on vacation have zero worries about the care our dogs were getting. They had a blast and we loved the pictures and videos we received during their stay. A++++++++++++”
About: I am someone who genuinely has a love for all dogs and strives to provide the best care possible. Your dog will become a member of our family while in our care. I am a full time stay at home mom to a 6 year old and 3 year old. Adding a dog to the mix would bring us great joy and would be an awesome addition to our daily life. I am home all the time and can provide a loving and engaging environment for your dog. I have a large yard and lots of nearby trails for walks.
“Alex did a great job with our energetic, 2.5 year old GSD. He kept us updated everyday and our pup loved her time with him. She happily greeted us and then promptly knocked out soon after we got back on the road haha. No question your pup will be in good hands with Alex.”
“Melissa is fantastic to work with. We were lucky and she had a last minute week long opening for us. She is very responsive and you can definitely see the love she has for the dogs she takes in! 100% will continue coming back!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time staying with Cassandra. She made sure that he was well cared for. He really enjoyed interacting with her dogs. He got lots of excerise, treats and snuggle time. She really knows how to make your dog feel right at home.”
About: I grew up with cats, but have become a dog lover as an adult! We currently have 2 pups in our home, a spunky 1 year old mixed breed rescue and a 4 year old mellow husky/lab rescue. We have a fenced-in yard for lots of playtime and live 2 minutes away from the dog park if they need more space! I work part-time so I am able to offer doggy daycare multiple days per week, including weekends. I am OK with short notice and last minute drop-in needs! I have a fenced-in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your pup company! We have a crate which can be used if needed, lots of toys, and sleigh bells on the door for potty training needs! We can also walk to the dog park down the road if your pup needs more exercise!
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
About: Not every dog is a good ol girl, some are good ol boys! I love animals and dogs are a huge part of my life. I enjoy learning the ways they speak to you without words and building trust through positive reinforcement. I’m well versed in puppy training and sr. dog care if needed. I currently work as a Real Estate agent and High School basketball coach which allows me a lot of flexibility with my schedule. The most I am away from my home is 4hrs at a time and will ensure your doggo will have the best time! I have just under an acre of land to play on if needed. My dog(7yrs old) and I adventure on several walks throughout the day and would love to add your pupper(s)to our schedule.
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
About: I am a stay at home mom to my two (respectful) children. This means that your furbaby will never be alone and will receive my 24/7 love and attention! I have two sweet pups of my own (one of which is a senior) and two loving cats. I adore animals and am comfortable giving medications, accommodating special requests, and doing anything else to make your pet feel comfortable and at home! We are a homeschooling family with one stay at home parent and one work from home parent. Your pet quite literally will never be alone and will receive constant love, play, exercise, and supervision! I have a fenced in backyard attached to my house where your furbaby can play freely. I have two dogs and two cats that are very socialized and comfortable around other animals. Your pet truly will be treated as another family member during their stay with us.
“Kristina and her family took such great care of our girl, Beau. She was very flexible with flight plan changes and always kept us up to date on how the pup was doing on her vacation. We will book again!”
“My two small/ medium sized dogs LOVED their stay! Kerry, and her whole family, really, cared so well for our girls! They sent pictures and kept us updated about how they were doing. Sunny and Polly were exhausted and happy ! I have already rebooked!”
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.
“Kimmy was great. I just wish they were a little closer. Dexter loves going over here there’s lots of room for him to run and people to play with and I love all the pictures I get while he’s here”
“We had a great experience with Matthew! He took great care of our dog while we were away, sent photo updates and had great communication. Pickup and dropoff was when he said and when so smooth! Would love to send our pup with him again!!”

Kerstyn took great care of my dog while I was on a week long international vacation. I really appreciated the meet and greet prior to booking to ensure a great fit. She kept me up to date and shared pictures and videos to ease my mind. I feel like my dog was truly welcomed into her home and wasn't just a job. I highly recommend !
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 $39 per night as of November 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% 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, 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Howard. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll 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.
