“Shelby was great. Without hesitation, she was more than willing to accommodate our goldendoodle with his daily medication schedule. She provided frequent updates while we were away and made is away of any possible concerns.”

“Samantha was amazing with my pup! She made me feel like Koda would be safe and loved as soon as we met her. Plus, she sent me multiple photos throughout the day and was very timely in her responses. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future :)”

About: I have had horses and dogs along with all sorts of animals my whole life. I have assisted with litters of puppies and worked years in a veterinary clinic. My animals are my family and I will care for yours in the same way! I work Monday through Friday 8-5 and am off on the weekends I would be available after work and on the weekends. If that works let me know! I also take my small dog to work with me and my springer goes to daycare next to my work. I have a large fenced in backyard! Pets are like family in my home!! They are allowed on furniture! I have many years of experience from 6 pounds to 150 pound Great Danes.
“From the meet and greet, I felt completely at ease leaving my dogs with Denise. When I picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾”

About: I have been a dog owner for 6years and a cat owner for 16, I have 2 beagles, age 3 and 6. My oldest gets ear infections often, hes had back problems and had a benine melanoma removed from his head so I understand the extra care some animals may need. I know stubbornness. Iv trained them as puppies and they are great with other dogs or pets. I would do anything to live my dream and care for other pets the way I do. I have so much love and compassion, pets are the people you want to talk to. I lost my cat of 16yrs and it hit me hard, animals are my world. I give all my attention to pets, I am a very observant, fun, loving, adventurous, caring pet owner. I do work a full time job but I'm willing to help out with any pets when im done saturdays, if need me to pick them up to board I will. Anytime of day Sundays and Mondays and I'm free for holidays too! I have a fenced in yard with 2 loving, fun, outgoing,lazy,heartwarming beagles you would ever meet that love company! I will be out watching all dogs who are over. There will be timeout areas if someone gets out of hand. I absolutely love walks! No matter the weather. I love meeting new animals and experiencing the world in their eyes. Your dog will be my dogs friends by the end. I will leave an imprint on your animals life, I want to be the best I can for your pets. Any needs your animal has I got it. I love helping others out and experiencing different places and how other pets lifestyles are.
“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.”

About: Hi, I’m Bonnie! I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra support. I currently share my home with a sweet 11-year-old Cocker Spaniel named Hannah, a playful 6-month-old Golden Mountain Dog named Ziggy, and an curious cat named Anakin, so I’m very comfortable caring for multiple pets with different needs and personalities. Friends and family regularly trust me to dog-sit and walk their pets, and I can honestly say I’ve never met a dog I didn’t fall in love with. Whether it’s long walks, backyard play, cuddles on the couch, or keeping up with feeding/medications, I treat every pet like my own. I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. That’s why I provide updates, photos, and clear communication so you always feel connected and reassured. Pet care naturally fits into my daily life because I’m already spending time walking, playing with, and caring for my own pets. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I can easily adjust my routine to make sure every pet feels loved and cared for. Your pets will get plenty of belly rubs, backyard zoomies in my fenced yard, and lots of love and attention. At home or yours, I stick to their routines and keep you updated with happy pics so you know they’re safe, loved, and having fun.
“Sara and her family provided a wonderful home for our two dogs while we were on a trip! They have a large fenced-in backyard where they could run around and play with Luna. They came home happy and pooped from all their fun. We are so grateful, and will definitely use them in the future!”

About: I love dogs and am excited to start this new journey. I’ve had a dog for the majority of my life and while I am not in a place to have a dog of my own right now I am happy to help take care of yours I am a nurse working night shift looking to take care of dogs on my days off. My schedule varies week to week but I can be flexible I have a mostly fenced in yard with a decent amount of space for your dog to play in. I live near a park that is great for walks. I am also willing to bathe your dog if necessary.
“Kristin gave regular updates with pics and vids which set our mind at ease that all was well with our pets. I really get a sense that she cared for them like they were her own. Highly recommend”

“I was gone for 10 days and was nervous about leaving my dogs. They had fun making new friends and were well taken care of. Thanks to Melissa for the great job. She reassured this nervous mama via text and let me know my girls were doing great. She even reported that my picky eater ate!”

“We were so happy to find Aryn on Rover to care for our dogs for a weekend away! She was especially patient with one of our dogs that experiences separation anxiety. We really appreciated her communication and care for our dogs!”


“Olivia took care of our dog, Nix for a week. She did an awesome job and sent many pictures and updates. Nix had a great time, she had plenty of exercise and was considered one of the family. I would not hesitate to use Olivia again in the future. Thank you Olivia '!”

“Everything was perfect. We were in a jam and Camden helped us out last minute, was extremely nice to our family during pick up/drop off, communicated during the stay and treated our dog like family.”

“We have had the same dog sitter since our 5 year old dog was born. She was unavailable for our most recent vacation, so used Rover for the first time and ended up deciding to go with Bobbi (and her family) and have our 2 doggies stay with them for our time away. We had a quick meet and greet to make sure our 2 doggies got along well with her dog, which went great. Bobbi sent reassuring messages and pictures every single day of our 12 day trip. Typically when we pick our pups up from our other sitter, particularly after a longer trip like this, they cry with joy to see us... run all over with excitement they cannot contain. This time when we picked them up, they seemed happy to see us, but not nearly as excited as usual, which to us indicated they MIGHT have preferred to just continue to hang with Bobbi and crew. It honestly couldn't have went better! We are so happy to have found Bobbi!”


“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.”


“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Megan and her husband to watch over my furry friends while I was out of town, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. Not only did they ensure the basic needs of my pet were met, but they truly went above and beyond. From sending daily photo updates, and they made sure my dog felt loved and pampered. Their passion for animals shines through in their attentive care, and it was evident that my pet quickly grew fond of them. Returning home to a happy and well-cared-for pup was such a relief. I wholeheartedly recommend Megan to anyone in need of dog sitting services. Their exceptional service surpassed all my expectations, and I will definitely be reaching out to them for future needs.”

“Emily was fantastic! Our dog loved every minute of being there. She was very communicative during our week long vacation and made sure to send lots of photos of our Pen getting loved on. We will absolutely be booking with Emily for any future trips or just for a small pooch vaca for our dog. We highly recommend!”

What a wonderful experience! We weren’t sure if our pups would want to leave! Heather did an amazing job making our dogs feel right at home with plenty of updates, photos, and videos. It really made our time away from home feel good. All their systems they have in place with additional dogs staying over clearly work and we had no issues or concerns.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
