Tammie is always great with my pups! She is their happy home away from home. Great care, great sitter, great people. I wouldn’t want to take my girls anywhere else for extended care.😊

We were extremely pleased with Brandi! She took such great care of Oakley for us and even gave Oakley her own special Thanksgiving dinner! We loved the pictures sent and the texts about how Oakley was doing! I’m happy we booked with Brandi again!

They were great. Sent a pic each day. They took my dog to dog park each day which my dog loves. I believe my dog and their dog played well together.

Christy was a wonderful caregiver for our puppy. She sent us regular updates which helped us see how well he was doing. Her dog Cooper was great with the puppy as well.

Marilyn was a fantastic dog sitter, and I'm so happy we've already got her booked for another upcoming weekend away! At our meet and greet, our Zephyr was comfortable with Marilyn right away, and she clearly settled in and made herself at home while we were gone. Marilyn sent us plenty of updates and photos, and I could tell our pup was having the best time ever! Marilyn cared for Zeph probably better than we do! At the risk of this review contributing to making Marilyn so popular that we won't be able to book her again, I'll she's easily one of the best dog sitters we've ever had, and I can't recommend her more highly!

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 think my dogs enjoyed their time at Kathryn and Tara's house. I think they enjoyed having other dogs to play with. 😊 Kathryn sent me pictures and updates; which I really enjoyed getting. I was concerned as this was the first time Bella and Milo have been apart from both my husband and I at the same time overnight...and we were going to be gone for four nights! We all did fine. LOL I was thankful to find Kathryn and Tara. We did do a day visit a week or so before we left for our trip. That was very helpful. Thank you, thank you!!

Dash seemed to have fun and was wore out when we picked him up. We didn’t get any updates throughout his overnight with her which would have been nice. No complaints though!

When I picked Abby up she was relaxed. She usually cries for the first 15 minuets. I think she really enjoyed her stay with Megan and the kids. Thank you so much. It was so nice to go somewhere and know Abby was taken care of.

FAQs for Boarding - Marathon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Marathon on Rover is $54.39 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 60 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.
