“Ollie loved being at Michelle’s! And no wonder- she’s knowledgeable, skilled, and showed genuine affection for him. Michelle provided individualized attention for settling him into happy interactions with her own little buddies and with other dog friends he met there. Sending us pictures and videos and messages settled any fretting we might have felt, too. Thank you, Michelle!”
“Our dogs had a great time at Alisha's. We went camping for a weekend, which was our first time leaving them at a sitter's house since we got them. We felt very assured that they were in good hands. They were pooped when we picked them up and slept all day once we got home. Doesn't happen often so that's how we knew they got a lot of playing in that weekend!”
About: 20+ years of experience (that makes me feel old). Unofficial dog sitter for family and friends since high school. Loyal to my fellow dog loving friends sharing word of mouth recommendations, fostered a giant breed and helped find his forever home, loved my first dog for nearly 8 years, and now I would like to fill the void by helping care for your four legged family member. I have experience caring for senior dogs and puppies as well. I work fully remote, so I appreciate the screen breaks. I am able to go out for walks or outdoor time often. After losing my dog this summer, I do miss the quality time and walk routines. We joke that you better love dogs, but it is true. My home is setup to be dog friendly, maybe more rugs for traction on the vinyl plank floors. Animals are part of the family and that is how we treat guest pets as well. Living on 3 acres in the country, so a great space for outdoor activities. I am quite respectful when residing in another’s home and great at following instructions and/or preferred routines.
“Rashelle was awesome and Willy had lots of fun playing with some new friends. ❤️ Rashelle’s communication was excellent with keeping me up to date with photos and sharing how Willy was doing. We will definitely be calling on Rashelle’s services again.”
About: I’ve had pets since childhood, but my greatest experience has come from fostering dogs as a family since 2018. Over the past 8 years, we’ve welcomed more than 50 dogs into our home, each with their own personality, history and needs. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, young adults, breeder-release and puppy-mill dogs, shelter and reservation dogs, and dogs returned to rescue. My experience includes fearful or shut-down dogs, high-energy dogs, separation anxiety, potty and crate training, medications, and medical or post-surgical care. Most of our fosters have been small to medium-sized dogs, with some larger breeds as well. I’ve learned that every dog adjusts differently, and I’m comfortable giving them the time, patience, routine and space they need to feel safe and settle in. Our own 9-year-old Chihuahua, Spotter, was one of our early fosters—we adopted him in 2019! Since then, he’s shared his home our foster dogs. Dogs staying with us aren’t treated like boarders; they become part of our family while they’re here. I work from home most weekdays, so dogs staying with us are rarely alone and naturally become part of my daily routine. They usually hang out with me in my home office, relax on the couch, or find their favorite cozy spot nearby. We have a large, privacy-fenced yard, and I build outdoor time into my day with morning, lunchtime and afternoon breaks, plus plenty of evening yard time. We also enjoy after-dinner walks. About once every five weeks I work in the office. On those days, my husband or son is often home, my husband can come home over lunch for a potty break, and my son is home from school by about 3:00. Because fostering has been part of our family life for years, having another dog in the house already feels like a normal part of our routine—not an interruption to it. Safety and comfort come first in our home. We have a large yard enclosed by a wooden privacy fence, and dogs are supervised outside until I know and trust their habits. Our deck can also be gated off for an additional secure area. Guest dogs live as part of our family rather than being separated into a boarding area. They’re welcome on the couch and furniture and can spend the day with me in my home office. At bedtime, I try to follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible—whether that means sleeping in their crate, on a dog bed, or another comfortable spot. Owners should bring their dog’s crate if they normally use one. Because we have a small senior Chihuahua, Spotter, all guest dogs must be dog-friendly and safe around smaller dogs. A meet-and-greet is an option before first-time guest doggy stays if there is concern. My years of fostering have taught me to watch body language, introduce dogs thoughtfully, and recognize when a dog needs extra space, reassurance or a slower adjustment. I’m also comfortable with medications, puppies, dogs still working on house-training, and dogs who may need extra patience settling into a new environment. Most importantly, I want your dog’s stay to feel as much like home as possible. I’ll follow the routines and instructions you provide and keep you connected with regular photo and message updates.
“We had a great experience with Nicole & Joshua! Their communication was great and they sent daily pictures and updates. Our lab Luna loved her time with them. She got lots of snuggles and outside time. We will definitely bring Luna back again.”
About: I grew up in a home with all kinds of pets, and I am very responsible with pet care (paying attention to safety, dietary needs, etc). I have owned cats, dogs (from Chihuahua to giant Mastiff) and I've even owned a snake. I am my family and friends "go-to pet sitter", when they are away on trips. And pets love me, because I speak their language...which is lots of snuggles and sweet talk! And walks! *PRICING* - Rover adds certain extra fees, which I can adjust only after a booking. Please contact me to discuss. I am currently working full-time, but can be with your pet in the evenings - Mon thru Fri, and have an open schedule on the weekends. I will come to you! And since I have often done sleepovers for friends and family, while they're away on a trip, I am very trusted to pay attention to their pets' feeding schedules, dietary needs, and potty/walking routines. I am a responsible pet owner myself, and I believe strongly in the health and safety of pets, so they will be safe with me AND we'll have a great time together! I'm also pretty good at getting some cute photos for you!
“Dylan and Whitney’s care of Dusty was phenomenal. They were able to take Dusty in on short notice and treated him so well. In addition, the communication and the speed of communication was always great and fast. Dylan sent us pics to help us while we were missing him. They were always a highlight of our day. We HIGHLY recommend Dylan!”

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.
94% of sitters in Knapp 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 Knapp 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 Knapp.
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 Knapp. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Knapp 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.
