“Hannah is the perfect sitter for our dog, whether we need to leave him for a long day or a longer than 2 week period. She clearly has a good understanding of animals in general, creating a calm but stimulating environment, making our pet feel secure and happy. We feel fortunate to have found Hannah as our dog’s home away from home when we can’t take him with us.”
“Kara and Ben took great care of our dog, and on short notice! We appreciated their daily updates and photos. Our dog had a great time with their family! We would highly recommend Kara and Ben.”
“Leora is absolutely wonderful! She was responsive, attentive, and sent daily updates. I know my two girls were extremely loved in her care. We can’t wait for them to join her family again!”
“Kris and Rob took great care of our “very needy furry friend “. Toby is almost six years old, but he still has lots of energy and then when he sits by you, he craves your attention. Kris was wonderful with him, sent photos to let us know he was doing fine, and shared comments along the way. Toby loved being there. We visited first before his stay, and when we were turning into their driveway the morning of his stay, Toby started whining in the car because he remembered where he was going. Toby enjoyed his stay and was exhausted coming home. He spent a lot of time sleeping after his weekend with Kris and Rob, but that is just fine. Knowing he had fresh air and exercise, lots of love and attention makes us really appreciate their care. Thank you again and we would definitely recommend Kris and Rob if you need someone to watch your four legged family members. Toby is a beagle/dachshund mix and definitely thinks he’s one of the family.””
About: I'm a long term pet owner with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently own a 16 year old dog and two cats. I also have experience caring for large dogs and birds. I'd love to be able to take care of your pets and show them all the care and attention they deserve. I'm free to care for pets on weekends and during the week. I am currently retired and able to provide services both in your home and alternatively, board in my home. I own my own home in the country which includes a large backyard on a quiet road. I provide minimum daily walks for dogs and am happy to do more upon request.

“We were visiting the Rhinelander, WI area and decided last-minute to go snowmobiling. We were so grateful that Jessica was willing to take our last-minute booking! She took wonderful care of our dog, Anokha, and sent us timely photo updates that really gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our trip knowing he was safe and happy. Since this is a pretty remote area with not many Rover sitters, we feel lucky we found such a star sitter. Highly recommend Jessica!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover who enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and pay close attention to their routines, energy levels, and personalities. I have experience with high energy and dogs with arthritis and other conditions, i also have experience with cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm environment, I adjust to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m patient, responsible, and always focused on keeping pets safe and stress-free. I also believe its good for the animal to have trust in the person watching over them I can also help with: * Walks and exercise * Feeding and fresh water * Playtime and companionship * Basic grooming/brushing * Potty breaks and cleanup * Photo and message updates while you’re away I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. I always plan my schedule carefully to make sure pets get the time, attention, and care they deserve. I understand how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet, so I always try to communicate clearly, provide updates/photos, and treat every pet with patience and care like they’re my own
About: I love big dogs, especially horses. I grew up taking in all the stray animals that were dumped on our road and finding homes for them. Being around any animal is my happy/safe place. I have 2 rescue horses that are like my children, I have one energetic dog, and one very loving cat, along with a bunch of chickens, one turkey, and two ducks. I want to go to school to be a large/small animal veterinarian. Caring and helping animals is my passion that I want to fulfill, I treat any animal with the loving care and kindness they deserve. I currently take care of my two rescue horses, consistently training them on a daily basis. I feed, and brush my cat on a daily, and feed, walk, and play with my dog daily. I have experience caring for my own pets and understand the importance of keeping animals safe, happy, and comfortable. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention. I follow all owner instructions carefully and make sure pets are supervised and cared for as if they were my own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Kempster 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 Kempster.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Kempster 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.
