“If you have a dog that needs a little extra love or has a specific routine, Theresa is the person to be choose. She was so patient and attentive to our Old Dog Toby. Great commucation what’s happening and send pictures of our dog. She was indeed flexible when it comes to pick up and drop off time.. This is the second time that she took care of our dog when we’re on our long vacation. She is EXEMPLARY…”


“Stacy welcomed my dog into her house and treated him as her own. Rudy loved playing and snuggling with her family! She communicated well and made sure she understood his needs. I will use Stacy again.”

“Sarah did a great job with our highly anxious dog. I know she was really stressed being away from our family, so we appreciate all Sarah did. She worked with us when we had to adjust who picked our dog up and we had no issues.”

“I highly recommend Kaitlyn!! I have 2 big boys 1 is a Doberman and the other is a golden mix. They fight if their in the same room. So was going to have Kaitlyn watch just one of them. When I went to do a meet and greet with my golden. We got to talking and she said she would be willing to take both. She was amazing! I didnt have to worry all weekend long about them because she would send me updates with happy pictures every day. They always looked so happy with all the walks and belly rubs. Highly recommend! I will definitely be going back to her and dropping my other doggie daycare even with a 15 minute extra drive.”

“Terrific hosts and experience. We could not be happier, Made our Irish Setter feel like home. Very rapid responses and send us regular updates. Will definetly book with Anne and Patrick again.”

About: My husband and I are frequently taking care of our grand pups! Both 4 years old. We treat them like our own. One’s a chocolate lab, the other is a dachshund. I am an early riser. I get my morning exercise done then am pretty free the rest of the day. With the exception of an occasional appointment here and there. We do not have a fenced yard but would do daily walks. We have a path near our home. We also have lots of dog toys.
“I feel like we have found a diamond in the rough. Jacqueline, Kris and Bella are so kind and truly are dog lovers. We received updates with pictures during Piper's stay. Their fenced in yard was perfect for Piper to run and sniff. Cannot say enough positive remarks regarding the excellent care Piper received. We highly recommend Jacqueline's family for daycare or boarding, and will be boarding again in the future!”

“Maggie and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Teddy! He stayed with them for almost a week, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Maggie kept us updated every day with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Teddy looked so happy and well cared for—we could tell he was having a great time away from home. Their dog, Nova, was also such a sweetheart, and she and Teddy had a great time playing together. We had zero worries while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend Maggie to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Chanse was phenomenal! I left my cat with her for a long weekend and everything went so well! Chanse made every effort to make my pet feel comfortable at her home, updated me regularly with photos, and truly treated her as if she was part of her family. She communicated well, went out of her way to purchase some treats to help my cat acclimate, asked thoughtful questions, and truly cared about the wellbeing of my pet. Her home is very welcoming and safe, and I would absolutely trust her again with any pet. I highly recommend Chanse for any of your pet needs!”

About: My husband and I have both taken care of cats and dogs for most of our lives and grew up with a household of pets. We regularly watch both large and small dogs for extended family when they travel out of town. We would be happy to care for your dogs or cats and give them the same love and attention we give our own pets. Our family currently has a 6-year-old chihuahua mix (who hasn’t met a person or pup she doesn’t like). We have a fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to run and play. We’d love to help out with your pets! You can be sure they’ll get plenty of attention! I work from home, so I am available to stop over for dog walking during the day or just to check on and play with your dog or cat when you’re away. We are also available for dog boarding or daytime care at our house. I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood and one small dog that would be happy to keep your dog company. If your dog is accustomed to crating at night, I’m familiar with crate training as our dogs were trained in this way.
“Teddy had a great stay with Kate! We loved getting photo updates, and it was such a thoughtful touch that she sent him home with his favorite toy (Patrick Star!) and a goodie bag. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Kate again in the future.”


“Jennifer is awesome. My baby is always happy to go over and I’m always happy leaving her there. I can always go and not worry about my baby staying there because I know she’s very well taken care of and Jennifer and her family are very loving and animal lovers. Definitely would recommend Jennifer for sitting your fur baby.”

I have experience with puppies, seniors, and dogs needing medication or extra care, including caring for my own senior diabetic dog. I’m loving, dependable, and will treat your pup like family! ❤️ Flexible weekday schedule for walks, medication or drop ins.

About: I have always loved animals and being around them as much as possible! I have a pittie, Nugget, & a chug, Pumpkin. They LOVE to play with other dogs, which is why I wanted to pet sit! I have a few years experience of fostering rescue dogs, so me & my pups are used to working with all different types of pups & we love them all 🥰 My calendar is set for days I'm off work, so I'll be home with your dog for most of the day. If I need to run any errands, I can certainly take your pup on a car ride with me if they enjoy those! If there are certain routines your pet needs to stick to, I can certainly stick to that schedule. I have a secure, fenced in yard that they can be out in for as long and as often as your pup would like. I have extra crates if your pup is comfortable with those. They are welcome on my furniture or in any of my extra dog beds. Let me know of anything that will help make them feel most at home!
“Frida was an absolutely phenomenal sitter and so sweet and loving to our dog Blaike. She treated her with warmth, kindness, and patience. Her dogs were loving and playful with our dog and welcomed her with open paws!

Frida truly treats your dog like family and I highly recommend her as your sitter! We will absolutely be booking her for our next trip. Thank you so much Frida!!”

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 Newark 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 Newark.
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 Newark 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.
