Jessica was phenomenal! She watched our 2 dogs over our wedding weekend. We wanted one of them to join us for a bit and she was so helpful, even came and picked her up. She sent lots of photos and updates. We had a meet and greet on her yard so our dogs could meet hers. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!

About: I wanted a dog all my life, and I wish that I could say that I grew up with a dog, but my dad was allergic. Whenever I had the opportunity to care for neighbors' pets, I did and knew that I would adopt a dog as soon as I was a real adult (and financially stable). As soon as I moved from California and landed a permanent job, I adopted an Akita puppy. She (Clipsy) was my only family in the Midwest for 14 years, and I couldn't have loved her more. Our second dog, Zuki, is a rescue from Texas. Because she's a rescue, she has some anxiety whenever we leave, so I understand what it's like to want the best care for your pet (not in a kennel). Zuki loves friend dogs, so one reason we're dogsitting is because we want her to enjoy the company of another dog. Her bestie passed away from old age last year, and she would welcome company. Both my husband and I are animal lovers, of course. Zuki is mixed breed (cattle dog, lab, pyrenees, etc.), medium-sized dog who regularly plays at dog parks and is well socialized. I think that she would get along with any other non-aggressive adult dog as long as they go on a short walk together first. She might be uncertain about puppies. It's always best to meet in neutral territory, and we would prefer a quick preliminary meeting with our dogs before the actual dogsitting date. We also have 9 chickens, and Zuki is trained to guard them from hawks or other predators. We realize that most dogs will chase chickens, so your dog would be on a leash or the chickens will be cooped if your dog wants to explore the relatively large backyard. If your dog finds chicken poop tasty, they will be closely supervised because...you know. My husband works remotely, and I teach but am relatively free in the summer. Thus, we have time to make sure that you dog is comfortable in our house and gets attention & frequent potty breaks. The Winnequah Dream Park is one block away, and we normally go for 1-2 walks every day. We have three dog beds scattered throughout the house, so you don't have to lug along your dog bed if it's inconvenient. We also have spare dog bowls, leashes, a ton of dog toys to share, and a tie-out rope. I'm happy to text photos/videos of your dog daily if you'd like. If you're not a fan of texts, I'll give you more space. Rest assured, we will do whatever we can to make your dog comfortable. What we'd require: -Please make sure that your dog is fully vaccinated & has flea & tick protection. Chickens eat ticks, but I'll still do regular tick checks on your dog if it's tick season. -Contact number for emergencies, and name and contact information of your vet. -Your dog's normal food and possibly meds. (Our dog is not food possessive, but we'd feed them separately.) -Any special information regarding diet or personality that would make your dog feel content while you are away. Thank you for your consideration, Tanya & Hutch P.S. We intend to only board one dog at a time to ensure that your pet gets plenty of attention. If you happen to have two dogs, then we would make an exception and board both dogs because it would be cruel to separate them, right? I teach, but in the summer I have lots of time to pamper your fur baby! My husband works remotely, so the two of us are at home most of the time. It's a relatively quiet, calm household since we don't have children to send off to school, etc. Zuki and I spend a lot of the time outside. She lounges in the fenced-in yard while I garden. She's a pretty mellow dog although she's always excited to meet a new friend. She gets along with almost all dogs although I would want to walk our dogs together on neutral territory rather than "surprising" Zuki at home with a dog she doesn't know. My husband and I normally go for 1-2 walks a day anyway since he needs to "reset" after staring at a computer all day. The Winnequah Dream Park is conveniently located a block away, so we usually walk there. If you have a senior or slower dog, we could take it easy. If you have a dog that requires more exercise, we're happy to accommodate. I, too, could use more exercise. ;)

We boarded our dog Charlotte for three nights at Kayla's and are really happy that we did. Charlotte enjoyed her stay a lot, she was so tired after he fetched her! We got a lot of photo updates which we really appreciated. Overall, we'd totally board her again with with Kayla and her mum and would strongly recommend them!

Alicia does a spectacular job caring for our beloved dog, Modi, when we are out of town. He has stayed with her numerous times and always seems to be at ease during & after his stays. I think we speak for Modi to describe Alicia as a, “kindred & gentle soul.” We highly recommend Alicia services as she is dependable, mature, and consistent. It is also clear how much she loves animals. Thank you, Alicia, for another great stay! We are already looking at booking additional dates!!

We are so happy to have had Jen care for our dog for a long weekend out of town. It was our dogs first time staying with a non-family member so we were a little nervous but it was clear she loved staying with Jen and had so much fun. Jen is very professional and sent us several helpful updates throughout the weekend. Our dog had the best time with her. We will definitely be requesting future boarding stays with Jen!

Megan, Nick and their 3 daughters were wonderful. My dog Pippa stayed with them for almost 2 weeks, she just became a part of the family. Megan stayed in touch with me during my vacation so that I could see how Pippa was doing. I was so pleased to find them and will be using them again! I highly recommend them.

We are always nervous to leave our dog with someone new, but Jen did an amazing job caring for Dingo while we were away. I appreciate that she took the time to do a meet and greet and read over the care instructions. She was a calm presence for Dingo and respected his boundaries, while giving the care he needed. We’re so happy for the updates and many pictures Jen sent. That made us feel at ease. We would book Jen again in a heartbeat!

She sent a ton of updates and pictures which made me feel so much better, and you could tell she really cared about him and wanted him comfortable.

Adam and Alina were great with my dog! I got regular updates with how he was doing during the stay, and a full report from their daughter at pickup 😊 Zissou has stayed with them before and was excited at drop off to have another stay, which helped me feel at ease (sometimes people have separation anxiety too). I absolutely plan to use Adam and Alina again the next time I need a dog sitter!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Monona

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Monona on Rover is $44.4 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 486 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Monona. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover 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.

90% of Monona sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Monona 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 Monona 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 Monona.

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 Monona 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.
