“Our dog had a wonderful time staying with Cassandra. She made sure that he was well cared for. He really enjoyed interacting with her dogs. He got lots of excerise, treats and snuggle time. She really knows how to make your dog feel right at home.”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! Her and her family took amazing care of Monty while we were away — sending regular updates, photos, and making sure he got plenty of love, walks, and playtime. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. I’d definitely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Bobbie is amazing. This was Sophie’s first overnight and I was so nervous. Bobbie sent pictures and kept me informed on how Sophie was doing. Because Bobbie is so good with dogs Sophie was comfortable and completely at home. I can’t say enough about how good Bobbie is. I will definitely be using Bobbie again for future trips. Thank you again for being so good with my Sophie.”
“Kristal and Scott were really great sitters. My Sophia was well taken care of and loved by them. She sent me updates on her and pictures almost on a daily basis. I would recommend them and use them in the future.”
“I was a bit nervous to leave my puppy with people I didn't know, so we were able to meet up at a dog park first, to make sure their dog got along with mine. I got pictures throughout her over night stay and got my pup back super tired from all the play time she got in! Very happy with our experience!”
“Kevin did a great job with Coral. She took to him right away like she has always known him. It was obvious he interacted with her a lot, throwing a ball and petting. Will certainly use Kevin again.”
“Kerstyn took great care of my dog while I was on a week long international vacation. I really appreciated the meet and greet prior to booking to ensure a great fit. She kept me up to date and shared pictures and videos to ease my mind. I feel like my dog was truly welcomed into her home and wasn't just a job. I highly recommend !”
“We left Casey in the care of Susan and Mark while we went on a family vacation. He was so happy to stay with them and obviously well cared for! We hate to leave our puppy, ever, but have such peace of mind knowing he is with Susan and Mark where he is receiving all the pets, treats, walks and snuggles he could need. Thank you both ❤️”
“We are so happy to have found Julia and her family. They took excellent care of our two dogs. They texted us and sent photos during the stay and our boys seems very relaxed and happy when we picked them up. Leaving our boys in Julia’s care gave us peace of mind. Thank you Julia!”
“Kayla was absolutely fantastic and our pup Doc looks forward to the next time he gets to go back. Kayla sent us updates every day, she sent pictures, and she sent a video! She is very kind and went above and beyond when his hip dysplasia acted up and he wasn’t feeling the best-she did everything she could to make him comfy and in less pain. Thanks Kayla-our family is happy we found you and we will definitely book again ?”
“Daniel was fantastic! We choose him to dog sit out German shepherd for her first over night not at home. We did a meet and greet first and then she stayed over for the weekend. He made me feel very comfortable and even sent me some photos of my pup! Timber really seemed to enjoy her stay and the adventures (walks) they went on! We will definitely keep Daniel in mind when we need another dog sitter.”
“I don’t know what I would do without Kimberly she is so fantastic. She taught LaRena how to shack this overnight visit. LaRena didn’t want to leave she has so much fun. I can’t thank Kimberly enough I had day surgery and I didn’t worry at all about what I was going to do with LaRena”
“We booked with Trisha with not a ton of notice. She was able to meet with us fairly quick for a meet & greet. Everything went well and both Dolly & Trisha seemed to have a really great time. Dolly enjoyed the long walks and attention. Trisha kept us updated with pictures & messages. Overall we are happy with Trisha & will book again!”
“Caitlin & Samuel were amazing with our dog! They provided pictures every day and were very flexible when we had to adjust our drop off time. We will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Shelby and her family were absolutely fantastic! They loved on our Winston and catered to his specific needs. I felt so comfortable and at ease knowing he was in a good, safe, and loving home! Highly recommend.”
“Great from start to finish! So easy to communicate with, a spoiled happy pup, updates and pics throughout the week and the confidence of knowing my Pepper was in great hands. Kelsey was wonderful and I’d recommend her to anyone.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 212 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Nichols. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
96% of sitters in Nichols 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 Nichols 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 Nichols.
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 Nichols. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Nichols 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.
