“It was very important to me that Zeus was in truly caring and reliable hands, and Cylir did an amazing job. She took great care of him, gave him lots of walks, attention, and love. I was also absolutely thrilled with the dog play area where Zeus could dig and really enjoy his time. It truly felt like Zeus was on a little vacation 😊 Thank you so much! We’ll definitely be back.”
“We could not be more appreciative of Laura! This was our first time leaving our puppy and we were nervous. But from her first message, Laura made us feel so comfortable and reassured. And our pup had the best time with her! Laura kept us updated the whole time we were away, and we knew our dog was in such great, capable and loving hands. Thank you, Laura!”
“Daria and her dog Zeus are perfect. 5 star review. Excellent communication and sent photos every day of Ruby having both fun and relaxing times. Best pet sitting experience I’ve had. Defiant will be using again and highly reccomended.”
“Bethany was amazing! She watched my little Archie for a long weekend and made our getaway more enjoyable by not having to worry about our fur baby! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Gina is great! We did a meet and greet first so her and my dogs could get acquainted, and to make sure it would be safe for all. She sent me pics of my boys while I was away and I really appreciated that! She treated my boys like her own fur babies! I highly recommend Gina! 5 stars for sure!”
“My French Bulldog, Frannie, appeared to have the time of her life with Barbara. She was with Barbara for 10 or 11 days and Barbara sent me videos and photos every day. I would ask Barbara again to care for my Frannie!!”
About: I’m a full-time professional dog trainer and owner of Big Dog Status LLC, with over 8 years of experience working with animals, including 4 years in veterinary care. I hold a B.S. in Animal Science from the University of New Hampshire and am certified in animal CPR and First Aid. My background goes well beyond basic pet care! I specialize in canine behavior, including reactivity, anxiety, aggression, puppy development, and obedience training. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, including those who may need a little extra patience or structure. Whether your dog is a young puppy learning the ropes, a senior needing attentive care, or a dog with behavioral challenges, my goal is to provide safe, knowledgeable, and individualized care while you're away. I work Big Dog Status full time. So I am very flexible with the schedule and can tailor things to you and your dogs needs As a professional dog trainer with a background in veterinary care and canine behavior, I strive to provide more than your average boarding experience! My goal is to make your dog's stay feel like their own little vacation, with plenty of adventure, enrichment, and individualized attention. Dogs in my care enjoy daily hikes and outdoor adventures for a minimum of one hour, along with opportunities for structured play, mental enrichment, and training throughout their stay. Whether we're practicing leash manners, reinforcing basic obedience, exploring new trails, or enjoying some downtime, I tailor each dog's activities to their individual needs and abilities. Safety and structure are extremely important to me. All dogs boarding in my home must be crate trained and comfortable settling in a crate, as crates are used for safe, uninterrupted downtime throughout the day. I provide appropriate supervision, carefully manage interactions, and never force dogs to socialize. For the safety and comfort of everyone, I do not accept dogs with aggression or separation anxiety for in-home boarding. I keep my boarding numbers limited so every dog receives personalized care rather than getting lost in a large group. Owners can expect regular photo updates, clear communication, and peace of mind knowing their dog is being cared for by an experienced professional. When caring for pets in a client's home, I maintain their established routines, training expectations, and household rules while providing the same level of attentive, individualized care. My goal is simple: Your dog comes home happy, fulfilled, and well cared for, with plenty of adventures to tell you about!
“Jenna was wonderful taking care of our dog. She was attentive, friendly and happy to have our dog stay with her and her family. She sent us regular updates and photos during the stay. We would highly recommend Jenna and would book with her again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats, dogs, farm animals (chickens, goats), fish, and exotic animals since I was 18. There’s no animal too big or too small! I’ve provided both day and night care, and handled meals, walks, potty breaks, medications, and cleaning. Hello!! I am a soon to be stay-at-home momma who will have lots of available time to watch/play with/or walk your furry friends! I currently have a dog and a cat of my own but they are very friendly and loving with all animals big or small. I would love to board your animals in my home! But, they must be friendly with both dogs and cats as I have one of each who are very sweet and get along with everyone! All supplies will need to be dropped off with your furry friend as well as I don’t have extra kennels (if your pup uses one) or extra supplies.

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.
92% of sitters in Plain 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 Plain 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 Plain.
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 Plain. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 Plain 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.
