It was nerve-racking, leaving my dog however, my dog seem to have the time of her life lol. I will rebook with them whenever I need dog care and would recommend anyone doing so as well”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, I cared for rabbits, hamsters, mice, and a pet rat. Today I share my home with my 13 year old cat, Meeko, and my housemate’s friendly 12 year old dog. I recently said goodbye to my senior cat after 16 wonderful years together. During the last few years of his life, I administered medication multiple times a day and became experienced in caring for an aging pet with extra medical needs. That experience strengthened my patience, attention to detail, and understanding that every pet deserves individualized, compassionate care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own pets. I work full-time during the week 8:30-4:30, so I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks before and after work (6-7:30 AM, and after 4:30 pm M-F), as well as most weekends and holidays. I also offer limited weekend boarding for one dog at a time so I can provide each guest with plenty of individual attention and care. My goal is to be flexible while making sure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know pets thrive on routine, so I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to medications, favorite toys, and bedtime routines. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of affection. I understand that having a stranger in the house can be stressful for both pets and owners, so I’ll always treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. For boarding, I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play. I only accept one boarding dog at a time so I can provide a calm, personalized experience and ensure every pet receives plenty of attention. My home also includes my cat and my housemate’s dog, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around cats and other dogs. This helps create a calm, safe environment for everyone.
“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.”
“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 recently lost my own dog, Sonora, that I had for 16 years. I’m not ready for a new one of my own, but I have a large space and plenty of free time, so I want to love your dogs! Whatever you need me to do, I’ll be happy to do it. I want your dog to feel as much love as they do at home. I work 2-3 days per week and can work from home if I want to. If I’m home I can let your dog out as much as needed. If I do go to the office, it would likely be about 6 hours max. When I’m not working, we can walk and play all day! I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to run, dog toys and treats, water and food bowls. The neighborhood is great for walking on leash. We also have a small collapsible dog pool.
“Eric and Rachel were very good at communicating and sending pics. They took really good care of Ollie! I had some trouble finding their place, but Rachel was great at giving me directions and even flagging me down, which was helpful!”
“Tom was fantastic. His extensive knowledge about dogs was evident, and he invested the time to ensure that Pocket had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend him and wouldn't hesitate to utilize his services again.”
“They did a great job providing updates and showing that our dog was having a great time. They were responsive and easy to work with, and could tell that they really cared for our dog.”
“Tony did an excellent job watching our 2 dogs over the weekend! We have very skittish senior dogs and I was concerned about them being safe & secure while they stayed at a sitter for the first time ever, but Tony made sure they were safe and sent so many updates to us. He was a very quick communicator and was very flexible with drop off/pickup times. Thank you so much Tony & Yoshi!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Monona
Gumbo was a luxury 5-star retreat with Marlene and her doggy Emma. I could tell he didn’t want to leave! Marlene is extremely kind, flexible, and thoughtful. She even recommended a dog food. Gumbo has lots of play time at both the dog park and in Marlene’s backyard, which is fenced in. We’d recommend her to anyone looking for dog sitting!
Leaving our velcro dog behind is always hard, being left by her emotional support humans is harder. But Holly and Ana were so good with her, she got all the snuggles and was treated like one of their own. They gave lots of updates that let me know she was adjusting well.
Jessica did a superb job taking care of our little man. Benny looked happy and relaxed in all his photos. We got consistent daily updates and he got tons of walks. He came back home well rested and completely happy. And we would know if he wasn’t happy with her. Jessica will take awesome care of your pet while you’re away. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be bringing Benny back for future visits.
My dog Lola seem to have an amazing time. All the dogs they were caring for were very friendly with a lot of room to run. It was nerve-racking, leaving my dog however, my dog seem to have the time of her life lol. I will rebook with them whenever I need dog care and would recommend anyone doing so as well
Nicolette was an amazing caretaker for my babies while I was gone for a few weeks! She sent me photos and videos of them and provided updates on how my shy girl was opening up throughout her stay. The dogs were super happy and comfortable with Nicollete when I came to pick them up, with one of them almost looking disappointed to leave lol! I will definitely book again when I have another trip due to her great care for my babies.😊
Alicia was great with Ginger! Since Ginger is a senior dog, I wanted her to stay in a caring home rather than a kennel. Alicia kept me updated and sent lots of pictures, and I could tell my girl was happy and comfortable. I really appreciated the great care she gave her and would definitely book again.
Very responsive which was really appreciated! There were more dogs there during the stay than I anticipated. I was pretty nervous because I have a rescue dog who is nervous around other dogs, but we were sent a lot of pictures and a video of him running around the backyard with a group of other dogs. So whatever she did manage all the dogs seemed to work!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
93% of sitters in Monona can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Monona. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
