“Mark and Marie left us daily updates on our big sweet dog.. Marie gave her extra snuggles and cuddles and took her for walks. She seems very calm and happy with them . We were relived as we don’t leave her often ! Would recommend mark and Marie to care for your loved fur baby!”
“We were looking for a special person to watch our two dogs while we were away. One of our dogs is insecure and the other has a lot of energy. We were so happy to find Beth! We wish we could give her 10 stars! She and her husband did such a great job with both pups. Beth was in regular communication and the pictures she sent told us everything we needed to know. The dogs looked so happy and comfortable. We are truly grateful for the wonderful care that was provided. A+++!!”
“We have used Elizabeth and Erik multiple times now! They treat our dog like their own and he always comes home worn out from all the great playing and attention they offer him!”
“Awesome sitter....Daisy came home exhausted from playing and slept til it was dinner time. Alyssa thanks for watching her so we could tend to VA and military appointments in the cities. We will definitely reach out again when we need a sitter. Thanks Donna, Bob, and Daisy 🐾”
“We never worry when Suki is with Abbie and her wonderful family! She is always loved and well taken care of. We get great pictures and updates along the way and flexibility with pick up and drop off times.”
“First time dog sitter experience set the bar very high! Katrina's warm personality, experience with and pure love for animals put us at ease immediately. We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with her for the weekend. She emailed us with updates and shared photos of the dogs throughout the stay. It was really comforting to know they were having as much fun as we were and it allowed us to focus on our weekend away vs. worring about how they dogs were doing. Katrina was extremely flexible with her schedule and accommodating to ours. We will definitely use her sitting services again and highly recommend her for anyone in need of a sitter. Thank you for living up to your tag line and treating our dogs as part of your family!”
“Kayla was great! Very easy to work with and excellent communication from start to finish. We did a short meet & greet before boarding our dog with her as this was our first time boarding him in someone else’s home, and so that he could meet her pup. I would recommend her to anyone, and hope to board with her in the future!”
“Melissa was great. Her flexibility with my changing schedule was greatly appreciated. Buddy had a great time exploring their home and surrounding area. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services in the future.”
“Julie is phenomenal! She communicates with you while you are away, sends photos and daily updates. Sarge loved his time with her and Beau. She is accommodating and takes care of little things that come up. Our experience with her was exactly what we wanted for our old guy. We were boondocking in the desert, and she parked her rig right next to us. Sarge was able to be in his own "home", but he enjoyed staying with her in her rig. We would definitely recommend her! She has a rig she can "live" in while she takes care of your pets in their own home. Well worth her weight in gold!”
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!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. I have always been an animal lover and have instilled that same love in my children. I would welcome your pet into my home and treat them like I would want someone to treat my family’s dogs - with lots of love and attention! You can trust me to take great care of your pet while you are away. I live on three acres so there is lots of room for your pet to safely walk, play and sniff around! :) I am also willing to do drop in visits in your home if you prefer, while you are away. I am available for pet sitting, walking and boarding mostly on evenings and weekends. I will also have availability over Christmas break and I am off over the summer, so my availability will open up quite a bit during those months. I have two friendly dogs and two friendly cats that are used to dogs. I would take your pet out on a leash since our yard is not fenced. I would let them out several times a day and feed them on a set schedule. They can sleep in a crate or possibly in a bed if that works out.
“Sydney recently watched my pup Frodo while I was away for a long weekend. She was super responsive, sent tons of updates and pictures of Frodo having a great time on walks, at the beach, and cuddled up snoozing. She went above and beyond in accommodating to my dog’ picky eating schedule. Overall I would definitely trust leaving Frodo with Sydney again and would highly recommend her to anybody seeking a loving temporary stopover for their pup.”

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 Lykens 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 Lykens.
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 Lykens 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.
