“Brandi did a wonderful job caring for our pup Maggie for our weekend away. This was the first time being away from our fur baby and she made it easy for all of us to know Maggie was having a super fun time! Thanks Brandi!”
“Tammie was amazing with the dogs. She watched both mine and my daughter’s dog. She sent updates through out the entire stay. She made the boys feel right at home. So much so that they were crying to go back as soon as we got them home. Highly recommend and will be booking with Tammie again in the future.”
“Morgan was amazing! She was very flexible with our timing needs, and so excited to care for Panzer. I appreciated the picture she sent about 2 hours into the day. I relaxed, knowing our dog was fitting in, and not stressed about missing us. Actually, I’m sure he was kept so busy he didn’t have a chance to miss us. Highly recommend Morgan!”
“I highly recommend Shawn And Joey. Bella warmed up to them right away. Dogs can tell these things. After initial meeting, we had no qualms about boarding. They updated us daily, with photos of walks, dog park, playing with other dogs. When we arrived to pick her up, she wasn't super excited to leave. Thank you for your outstanding care and keeping our minds at ease. We'll definitely bring Bella again when we need long term care.”
“Christy took excellent care of Nelli for the weekend. I loved seeing the smiles on Nellis face in the picture and videos and she looked like she was having so much fun on her walk!”
“Andrea was wonderful. My dog Gracie has severe anxiety and it wasn’t going to work, unfortunately. I ended up having to leave work and take her home. I felt bad for Andrea, but she reassured me she was fine with everything. Some dogs just don’t do well in other people’s homes. Anita”
“Luna absolutely loved staying with Colleen. Colleen took great care of her, kept us updated with photos and videos, and was very flexible with us. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“Nothing but great things to say about Kara & Ben. They took such great care of my two dogs while I was away for the weekend. I am not from the area and this was my first time using Rover for boarding so I was a little anxious. Both Kara and Ben provided pictures and reassurance that they were being well cared for. I am very appreciative! 10/10 recommend 😊”
“Brooke was OUTSTANDING with our pup! Daily updates with pictures, tons of lovings and cuddles, and plenty of walks while we were away. We brought home one very happy boy! I highly recommend her when you're in need of the best out there to take care of your fur baby!”
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life growing up. I currently have one dog, Ruby, who is 2 years old and a cat, Henry, who is 6 months old. I also have two children (ages 5 and 9) who love pets and helping out. My goal is to provide not just reliable care, but peace of mind—so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort so I can respond quickly to anything they may need. I also believe communication is key. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Set up with Tara was very easy and the dropoff occurred without a hitch. I received several pictures of my girl playing and enjoying herself during her stay with Tara and I definitely plan on repeating when I go out of town again.”
“Randee was great with Louie! We will not hesitate to have Louie stay with Randee again. Randee was very accommodating and understanding when we had to adjust some drop off and arrival times.”
“She has a great setup for dogs. Country setting and plenty of room. Very accomodating in the care of Holly. Holly was able to stay outdoors in the shade or sun and come inside at night. Thank you.”
“Xao was AMAZING?!! She took care of my Skyy extremely well!! I was so pleased with all the pics and videos I rec'd bc they showed my fur baby so happy! It was an awesome plus she had small fur babies as well bc now they are friends?! The attention Skyy rec'd was phenomenal and again the special care displayed was appreciated and EVERYTIME I travel without Skyy I know she will be in the best care with XAO?...THANK YOU Rover for having a true fur baby professional on your site☺️...”
“My dog lily had the best time with Brooke and Remy! She always provided updates on how she was doing through the day, typically multiple times a day, usually with some awesome edited pics or videos. Her updates were very detailed and you can tell she really cared for her. There was also plenty of toys and space to run around. She even had an extended leash outside so she could run around the backyard with Remy. It was also a good learning experience to see how she does with another dog. She was super helpful in letting me know any concerns and very knowledgeable when it comes to taking care of a puppy. It was far better compared to some other places and felt she learned more instead of regressing. Definately my best experience so far!!! :)”
“Eleanor loved staying with Laurie again. She takes wonderful care of dogs and sends pictures/updates! I can tell that she really cares about the animals when they are staying with her and wants them to be so comfortable…Thank you again!”
About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was 3 years old. Cats, dogs, birds, ferrets gerbils and as an adult horses cows chickens although I'm assuming you're not going to be dropping off any of those I am pretty much home anytime and available to watch animals day or night. I am self employed as a farmer during the summer but off during the wonter I have a newly updated 100-year-old home with two rooms that kitties can stay in if they are shy and don't play well with other cats. Dogs I keep with me at all times. I

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Marathon on Rover is $54.39 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 56 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Marathon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Marathon 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 Marathon.
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 Marathon 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.
