“Frank & Julie are Phenomenal! I was quite nervous about trying again to find temporary care for my dog after a poor experience on another pet sitting app. I read all the other positive reviews for this couple and anxiously decided to move forward with booking. I am so pleased with the care they provided! I feel they went above and beyond for my dog. I'm so grateful I found them instead of boarding, where he'd have had very little attention and interaction. Instead he got the love and attention he could want and all the comforts of home. I will happily continue to use their service.”
“Gina was wonderful!! She loved Roxy as if she was her own fur baby. Roxy is a senior Yorkie (13-14 years old) who has spent very little time away from us, yet she was obviously happy while at Gina’s as she ate and wasn’t shaking when we left her or picked her up. Gina sent us pictures each day of Roxy playing, on walks and napping with Mack (her chihuahua who is sweet and adorable). Highly recommend!! 10/10 5 STARS”
“Chelsea is Simply Awesome!! She loved on our 2 puppies for a long 10 days while our family enjoyed a very needed vacation. She sent pics and videos each day while we were away!! She was there to comfort our pups when they missed us❤️ We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our pups were in Great hands!! We will be looking up Chelsea for all of our future needs!! Thank you, Chelsea❤️”
“Chase and Jessi are amazing! When we drop our dog off she pulls to get into their home. We feel like she is going on vacation because she is so spoiled while she is there! We can't thank them enough for the care they give our dog! They are the best!”
About: I am a Neenah Native who has been providing pet care for 25 years. This includes young puppies & helping them learn their manners to the elderly/special needs & providing them medication (including insulin), special meals, cozy beds & extra TLC. My cat experience includes kittens, elderly, special needs, extremely shy, to extremely social. Each cat is unique. I take the time to make sure to treat them that way. I also have experience caring for rabbits, fish, guinea pigs, lizards, etc. When I come to your house - I follow the rules you set for me to the T. I want the visit to be as stress-free as possible & keeping a consistent routine is part of that. If your dog(s) stay with me - they will be a part of my family. A secured, fenced in yard for safety & fun. A nice laidback home where they can go on the furniture & snuggle in bed w/my pets & me at night. The bigger cuddle puddle the better! Pet care fits into my daily routine as it is MY life & business. I care for my well-socialized rescue pets from morning to night as they are NOT just my pets - they are my FAMILY! This allows us to work together to find times that work best for your fur babies! When caring for dogs in my home, I only care for one family's dog(s) in my home at a time. FREE CONSULT ahead of time to make sure it is a good match for everyone. This lessens the stress on the visiting dog(s). Multiple family dogs in one home CAN be overwhelming for SOME dogs. (NOT ALL) This is also nice for my pets to only have one family's dog(s) at a time. We like to keep things calm, peaceful & relaxing while still having fun! Dogs are allowed on the furniture if the parents allow it. If they do not - I will not. I do not want to start any bad habits. LOL Dogs can sleep in bed with the dog/cats/me. I have a very secure fenced in backyard that I check on a regular basis to make sure there is not even the tiniest gap. Being a former caseworker for Lost Dogs of WI - I know how important this is. But even with a fenced in yard - the dogs are watched. Plus - you'll get lots of pics/texts of your dog(s) while you are away! I believe in open & transparent communication. When I do drop in visits in a clients home - I have the client go over EVERYTHING during a FREE consultation beforehand where I take very detailed notes!! It is extremely important the cats/dogs routine stays the same as possible. This lessens their stress when their owner/family is gone. I only go in the areas of the house where the pets will be. I also leave a journal to keep detailed notes. I also send daily pictures/texts as well. I am very security conscience & will bring in mail, double check the door is locked, etc.
“Kathy accommodated me with a meet n greet the day before boarding. Zoe and Sadie enjoyed their time at Kathy's house playing with the other dogs. Kathy was very helpful and interested in learning about the dogs background and eating habits. In 2 out of the 3 photos Sadie was smiling which tells me she was enjoying her time there. I will book again another time.”
“Savannah did a wonderful job taking care of our little pooch for two nights. She was very accommodating of our schedule and we greatly appreciated it. We will not hesitate to have her watch him again! Both of our Rover.com experiences so far have been 5 star!”
“Ganelle and her family were great. She was responsive and took great care of my Kena during our holiday break. She sent multiple pictures and updates during her stay. Would highly recommend Ganelle if you were looking for a sitter.”
“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.”
“Caitlin & Samuel were great to work with. They kept me updated daily about Bubba with messages and photos. I felt really comfortable leaving him with them for a week. Thank you!”

During drop-in visits, I’m happy to feed, play with, walk, and give your pets plenty of attention and love while you’re away.

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.
95% of sitters in Ostrander 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 Ostrander 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 Ostrander.
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 Ostrander. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Ostrander 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.
