“Rosie was happy when I picked her up. The next morning she was back to her usual self. With some other sitters, it can take one to three days for her to be back to her usual self. So just from that I’d say Alyssa did a nice job.”
“Sumer continues to be the best! It always warms our heart to see how excited our dog gets when we arrive at her house—he can’t wait to get inside to see all his friends and playmates! Special shout-out this time for Sumer quickly trouble-shooting a solution when I realized that I’d miscalculated and sent the wrong amount of food for our dog’s stay; we know he’s always in good hands with Sumer, and as any pet parent knows, that’s the best feeling!”
About: I’ve covered private care, dog walking, training, vet settings and grooming over the past 20 years. Currently I’m the lead groomer at a local doggie daycare specializing in behavioral rehabilitation. This means dogs in my care get folded into my pack and taken along for our day. We have a 1/3 of an acre to relax on and can reinforce training or loose leash pack walks during their stay. As I work with dogs full time, we can easily fold 1-2 dogs into our daily routine. Structured feed times, crate rotation, daily training and lots of playing in the yard are already a part of our day. Dogs can come to work with me if necessary where they will have yard access for potty breaks and a private area indoors, or stay home with my older girl who prefers the peace and quiet of sun bathing, and midday breaks for walks or time in the yard. We have a large home and yard to accommodate everyone, employ structured meal times and crate and rotate when necessary so everyone has 1-1 time at home.
“My puppy had such a good time!!! My girl is very shy and nervous around strangers but Chanse and her family were so sweet and good with her!! Would 100% go back any time I need a dog sitter!”
“Wow!! We couldn’t have been more happy with our experience for Bear and Winnie. They sent videos of our pups playing together and we know they had fun because they were pooped the whole way home🤣! Thanks for an overall excellent experience!!”
“Mary is fantastic. This was our first booking with her, and we will definitely be booking with her again for future dog sitting needs. She sends updates with pictures and the dogs really seem to be comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”
“It was our first time with Tanya and we felt like family. Her home is beautiful, warm and welcoming. She has a large fenced yard and her older children are the sweetest with the dogs. We were so lucky to find her on short notice!”
“I could not be more thankful for Maggie! She and her family took incredible care of Lincoln while we were out of the country. It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family so I was nervous. But Maggie patiently listened and I never once worried about him after dropping him off. She sent the most detailed videos and photos with updates every day and treated him like their own. He enjoyed walks, playing with Nova, treats, chilling, and lots of snuggles. In fact he didn’t even want to leave their house when getting picked up. So nice knowing he was loved and happy!! Thank you Maggie, Seth, Tanner, and Nova!! We appreciate you SO much! Lincoln looks forward to his next visit!”
“Perrin was absolutely amazing with Ziva! I loved the fact that he treated her just like his own dog! The daily pictures and updates were amazing! Knowing Ziva was having a blast and being treated like the princess she is let's me know that we will definitely be using Perrin and the Sanderson Ranch again, in the future. Thank you!”
“Larissa and her husband were wonderful with our two dogs. They provided lots of snuggles, pictures and they treated our dogs like they were their own. I would highly recommend them. She did everything to calm our babies when the thunderstorms rolled in. Thank you!”
“Tanya was amazing. We had tried to find a pet sitter for our very anxious/sometimes aggressive dog Millie for a long time, and finally met Tanya. She clearly is very passionate about helping animals feel safe and cared for, and was so compassionate about our poor dog's fears and problems. We did a trial sleepover before our 10-day trip and it went great. When we were on our trip, Tanya sent us frequent updates and videos, showing how well Millie was doing. She replied quickly to our texts and was very reassuring. When we picked Millie up, she appeared well cared-for and fine (or as fine as our dog gets!) We HIGHLY recommend Tanya!”
About: I've cared for cats and dogs my own as well as other owners, for the last 20-plus years I also have experience with other kinds of animals. I protect animals fiercely and I am extremely receptive of detail and specifics that any pet owner may have for me. I have varied availability throughout the week and weekend. Although I have another job, and have a family, I still have flexibility to do pet care. :-) I care for my own animals deeply in one of my top priorities is meeting their needs. I probably even go above and beyond for someone else's pet as I understand that someone else is putting their fur babies in my care. I appreciate good communication and I pay attention to details that a pet owner may have for me.
“We had an excellent experience using Eunice for our dog Ozzy while we were on vacation. He’s an elderly dog and she did a great job catering to his needs. We received daily updates and pictures. We felt very at ease that he was in good hands, we will definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”
About: I have an 8 year old coonhound named Trigger. He is the light of my life. I love to care for family and friends dogs in my free time. I work 50% from home and 50% in the office. I am off Saturday through Monday. I have the flexibility needed to provide care as needed. I have an incredibly friendly and easy going coonhound named Trigger. In his older age, he has become quite the couch potato. In his younger years, he loved going to doggy day care to romp around. We have a large unfenced yard for dogs to enjoy.
“Lauren did a great job with our dog, Mabel. Lauren was super communicative before and during the stay, sending lots of photos and updates the whole time. It was evident she really cares about the dogs that she works with. Would highly recommend!”
“We were nervous to tryout Rover but couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our fur baby. Ali treated our dog as if he was her own and also made sure we got several updates throughout his stay with her. We highly recommend Ali and will be a returning customer for sure!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Janesville is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 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.

As of October 2026, there are 244 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Janesville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
97% of sitters in Janesville 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 Janesville 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 Janesville.
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 Janesville 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.
