“Jenny and her family did an excellent job watching Teddy and giving him the best experience during the holidays. It was even his birthday and they went above and beyond to throw a birthday party for him! We are so appreciative of how well Teddy was treated and all the photo updates were reassuring. Teddy is looking forward to his next stay! Highly recommend! 🤍”

About: I have a dog of my own and I’ve done boarding, drop ins and walks before. I’ve grown up with dogs in the house and have watched family friends dogs numerous amounts of times. I currently work full time (8-4:30) during the week, but can do evenings on week days and any time during weekends! I am very flexible and can make anything work! I can abide by whatever schedules/routines you have in place. If your dog likes to socialize, my dog would be a great buddy! I understand dogs need to follow certain rules and need to be let out/fed in a timely manner.
“Estrella loved going to Sarah's house! She always has a fun time playing with Sarah's dogs and she met a new friend in the regular daycare dog they host. We got lots of adorable pictures and videos and Estrella came home tired and happy!”


“It was an absolute delight to work with Annie! She provided exceptional care for Cinnamon and kept me updated with regular pictures and messages. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again anytime.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have had dogs as part of my family since I was a child. Most recently, I’ve cared for our own dog for the past 13 years, giving me experience with every stage of life—from energetic puppy years to the special needs of senior dogs. In addition to caring for our own pets, I’ve welcomed dogs belonging to family, friends, and neighbors into our home. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and activity levels, and I understand that every dog has unique routines and needs. Your dog will be treated like part of our family in our clean, smoke-free home. We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and our dog-friendly children love helping give pets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment so you can feel confident your dog is well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. My husband works from home, so there’s almost always someone around during the day to provide companionship, potty breaks, and attention. In the evenings, our family is typically home together, so visiting dogs become part of our daily life and receive plenty of love and interaction. We understand how important consistency is for dogs and do our best to maintain their usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, and rest. Whether your dog enjoys playing in our fenced yard, going for walks, or simply relaxing with people nearby, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for throughout their stay. We treat every dog as if they were our own and strive to make their time away from home as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences before their stay. I closely follow your instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and any special care your dog may need. In our home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They have plenty of supervised time indoors, access to our fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and lots of attention throughout the day. We provide a clean, smoke-free, loving environment where dogs can feel comfortable and secure. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, or simply relax with people nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the care and companionship they need.
“Michelle and her family provided a wonderful home for Roscoe while we were out of town! I was very grateful for the photos she shared of Roscoe having adventures. Thank you, Michelle!”

“Rona took excellent care of Basie and Mimi while we were away! She sent us regularly updates of the doggies sleeping, eating, and playing and she made sure that they wore their sweaters when they went outside in the chilly weather. Definitely would book again, she's amazing!”

“Our dog Blu was so happy at their home-he loved playing with his new friends and received excellent care. Each and every member of their family took such good care of him and kept us updated daily how he was doing. It really reassured us and helped us enjoy our trip. Thank you so much!”

“This is our second time booking with Christine, and she is a great sitter. You can tell that she truly cares about the health and happiness of all of the animals in her home. We are very grateful that she was able to accommodate a last minute request, and she sent so many cute pictures! We will definitely send Georgie to her again.”

“Ann was amazing! We have a pup that has some tricky behavior issues and she handled them like a professional. She was easy to work with and super accommodating. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing people who love and care for my pup while he is with them - they also send the cutest pictures and updates! They were also super understanding when I got stuck in traffic on the way to pick my dog up.”

“Lindsay was quick to respond to all my messages and made it easy to arrange drop off and pick up. She sent a number of photos of my dog and took her for a number of long walks, just what the dog needs to balance her abundance energy. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.”

“Val and his wife took wonderful care of our dog, Pepper. We were out of town for almost a week and Pepper was in very good hands. Val sends updates and photos, and accommodates the needs of each individual dog he cares for. He made sure Pepper was comfortable, safe, and got the food and exercise she needed. We will definitely have our dog stay with Val again next time we are on a trip.”

“Our dog stayed with Kaycee and her family for 10 days, and we had a wonderful experience. She sent me photos every day, and they took him for walks even though they have a fenced backyard. The kids in the family gave Swift lots of attention, and he played with their family dog. Very sweet family — I highly recommend them for dog boarding.”

About: Hello! My name is Audrey, and I'm 29 years old. I've spent over five years working at a doggy daycare, a passion that began long before I was officially hired. My parents opened this daycare in the mid 2000s, so I was fortunate enough to be able to come around and help out, or just spend time with the dogs throughout my teen years. From this I was able to gain invaluable hands-on experience with a variety of dogs. My lifelong experience with both dogs and cats ensures that I can provide top-notch care for your furry friends. During my time at the daycare, I encountered dogs of all energy levels, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. From puppies to senior dogs, and from calm to highly anxious pets. I'm skilled in administering medication, feeding, and monitoring for any unusual behavior. Having cared for hundreds of pets, each with their unique personalities and needs, I am dedicated to meeting and exceeding your expectations. I look forward to meeting and caring for more wonderful pets! I am currently working remotely which allows me the the flexibility to go wherever needed as well as be home with the animals for a majority of the day. This means I am able to give potty breaks or food/medication any time of day. However, some week days I play sports in the afternoons. This would only be for an hour or 2 at most, generally between 6-9. I feel very confident in my ability to make sure your pets are safe during my visits! Working with dogs for many years, I have a good sense of what to watch for and how to make sure your animals are happy and healthy. I am constantly aware of mine and your animals surroundings when I am doing a job and I try to be very cautious and attentive in order to make sure they don't get hurt, escape, etc.
“Lee was great with our high-energy dogs. They clearly had a lot of fun in his large fenced-in yard, and Lee provided pictures and updates daily! He was also very responsive and flexible when our travel plans changed”

“Tom was great! We made a last minute booking but Tom was very communicative and nice. Tom’s dog was sweet and friendly too when we introduced Bella. Bella definitely enjoyed her stay with Tom. 10/10 would recommend!!👍”

“Da Yeon took great care of our cat Olive and made her feel at home. Olive doesn't always get along with other dogs and cats so I love that she had a solo stay with Da Yeon and was able to make herself comfortable quickly! Da Yeon was very responsive and sent lots of pictures :)”

Another wonderful boarding experience with Maddie! She always takes such great care of Joey and this time was no exception. Although he was battling an ear infection during his stay, she was able to give him his ear drops every day (along with his growing list of meds and supplements as a senior dog.) Joey came home a happy and healthy pup, thanks to Maddie. We highly recommend her for your pet care needs!

Remy had an amazing stay! He's a little special because of his tummy issues, so it is very hard for me to leave him at all, but it's just a little easier knowing he's in caring hands. Thank you so much for all of the photos and updates. I really appreciate all that you did to make him comfortable. Remy sends his love!

You couldn't ask for better puppy caregivers than Hannah and her family. I am so pleased at the caliber of people Rover has recruits. I wish I knew about you earlier. Lizzy is going to spend a week with Hannah, and she will probably want to stay with them. Thank you for this service. It has changed my life and Lizzy's as well.

Juan and Gabriel are amazing! Responsive, proactive, and available. You can see the effort put into their care for our pets. Gabriel always gives me a recap at the end of her stay, especially knowing she’s sensitive to certain food. My dog has never had any large issues. I’ll continue to use Juan and Gabriel to care my dog Lola.

Kiki did a wonderful job taking care of my husky, Saito, while I was away on my trip. There was an unexpected incident where Saito got into the dishwasher and became sick. Kiki handled the situation with great care, checking on him multiple times throughout the day to monitor his condition and make sure he didn't need to be taken to the vet. Thankfully, he started feeling better and made a full recovery. Throughout my trip, Kiki kept me updated with regular messages and sent plenty of photos of Saito having fun, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It's clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Kiki to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter 🙂↕️

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.
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.
