“Brandi is the absolute BEST! If you’re looking for someone to take care of your pup, use Brandi! She communicative, friendly & flexible with dates & times. I know my pup is in great hands when I leave her with Brandi!”
“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.😊”
“Christy was very easy to communicate with, professional, and did a great job watching Arthur for the weekend. She had a great setup with a nice fenced backyard. I got lots of updates to see that he was doing well and having fun. He was worn out from playing when he got back. I'll definitely be reaching out to Christy in the future!”
“Kara and Ben have a beautiful, kind, and loving family. They welcomed my high energy puppy girl into their home, and she clearly had fun playing with their dog and kids for many days while I was in the hospital. I get the sense that they want their kids to experience different pets for the learning experience, which is very cool I think. They seem to enjoy the experience overall, which made it so comfortable for me. Thanks so much!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Hannah is wonderful! Our Toby is typically very nervous/anxious with new people but he was right at home with Hannah. She sent us pictures and kept us updated throughout Toby’s time with her. We will definitely book with Hannah when we are back in the area!”
“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.”
“Our dogs had a great stay with Kris and Rob. Kris sent a lot of pictures and kept me updated. I knew my dogs were in good hands. I would definitely use them again.”
“Nick is caring and active Boarder. He made Nikki and I comfortable with our first "sitter" experience and Nikki really took to him. She seemed really happy with him and Im really grateful for that. Im relieved that I can get away and trust that my dear dear fur child is cared for with such detail. Very grateful we know Nick!!”
“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”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover who enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and pay close attention to their routines, energy levels, and personalities. I have experience with high energy and dogs with arthritis and other conditions, i also have experience with cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm environment, I adjust to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m patient, responsible, and always focused on keeping pets safe and stress-free. I also believe its good for the animal to have trust in the person watching over them I can also help with: * Walks and exercise * Feeding and fresh water * Playtime and companionship * Basic grooming/brushing * Potty breaks and cleanup * Photo and message updates while you’re away I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. I always plan my schedule carefully to make sure pets get the time, attention, and care they deserve. I understand how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet, so I always try to communicate clearly, provide updates/photos, and treat every pet with patience and care like they’re my own
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was very young. I’ve watched friends pets when they go out of town and I currently have my own cats and a dog! I’m currently only working part time and from home, so I will have plenty of time to spoil your pups with all the love and attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard! I also have a friendly pup that would love to keep yours company and play and walk with! <3
“I need help watching my dog Henry after a family emergency needed me to fly out of state on short notice. Leora was very quick to reply and accept my request to booking. She is very flexible with pick-up and drop off times! The thing that really stood out is Leora went above and beyond to take care of Henry. He had gotten a bee sting a few days before being watched. She gave him his medicine and kept the sting clean! I really appreciated the help, and will certainly be booking with Leora again! If you're looking for a great sitter, look no further!”
“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!”

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 Merrill 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 Merrill.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Merrill 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.
