“It was our first time using Rover, Monique was very understanding and reassuring! Our dog hasn’t had a lot of exposure to other dogs, but she was great with him and even helped him to get comfortable with her dogs! We received pictures and updates during our time away and Monique was flexible with pickup/drop-off and even a meet-and-greet before hand!”
“This was our first time leave the girls with Yolanda and I could not be happier! They treated our girls like family and I felt so comfortable the entire time we were gone that they were being well taken care of. I will definitely use them again in the future and would recommend them to anyone!”
“Linda did an amazing job with Romeo! She provided frequent updates and pictures and we felt very comfortable during his entire stay. She was great to communicate with and Romeo had a great time!”
“I think Max loved his stay with Patricia and her family. (Who really knows?) For us, the location and arrangements were very convenient. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Diane and Dale went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and care for Oliver. He fit right in with their dog, Lexi, enjoyed the walks around the pond and was well-loved. I highly recommend them!”
“Cheryl and Josh were great with our dog, Goldie. She got a lot of walks and we know she got a lot of attention and love. She came home exhausted. 😅 We will definitely trust Cheryl and Josh again for future dog watching!”
“Dani & Aiden were great with our dogs and very accommodating. They are extremely flexible with timing and sent us plenty of pictures through out our dogs stay.”
“Doreen is the bomb.com, she is a loving caring appreciative warm hearted thankful lady, ♥️, she is the best that I've had watching over my pet dog Peepee, she deserves a 10 out of 10, I recommend her, she sends the cutest pictures also, I will ask for her again & again, thanks Doreen”
“Scott & Ashley were wonderful. They took in our dog Kiko and my daughter's dog Ellie, while we were all on vacation in the UK for 10 days. They sent daily updates with photos and they have a great yard for dogs with a fenced in backyard. Scott & Ashley took both dogs for walks twice a day and the although we brought crates for both dogs, they ended up sleeping with both of their boys, which was fine with us and I'm sure Kiko and Ellie loved it! We will certainly contact Scott & Ashley through Rover.com, when the need arises again.”
“Shannon is great. She sends regular updates with pics and videos. She has a great backyard and built in dog friend for our Clyde to play with. We always feel confident our dog is in good hands and having a good vacation too when we book with Shannon.”
“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”
“Luana was accommodating, easy to work with and clearly a devoted animal lover. She took great care of our little dog and was especially mindful to make sure he was safe, because he’s a quick, little escape artist. We appreciate her care and will be back when we’re in Wisconsin.”
“I’m still fairly new to Rover, and it was truly a pleasure having Karlee watch my Shorkie while I was out of town. She sent updates whenever I requested them and gave my dog a new opportunity to be around a cat, which I really appreciated. What stood out most was how well Karlee was able to understand my dog’s personality. It showed that she genuinely took the time to get to know her and accommodate her individual needs. I truly appreciate the care she provided, would absolutely recommend her, and would definitely request her again!”
“Teresa is wonderful! She was very responsive and a great communicator, both before our puppy’s stay and during. She was very patient with our young puppy, and I felt confident she was in great hands. We will definitely use her again in the future and I would highly recommend!”
“Our dog Nelly had a great stay with Shay! Nelly is often cautious in new situations but settled in really well. Shay’s dog Gatsby is super sweet and friendly too. We really appreciated Shay handling all of Nelly’s medications and sending lots of videos and pictures so we could see how happy and comfortable Nelly was while we were away. We will definitely book again the next time we need to go out of town!”
“Our dog’s stay with Lisa was awesome. Lisa really seemed to truly care for our dog as if she was her own, and I felt entirely comfortable that our dog would be well loved while we were away. Great communication, great experience!”

Superior service from Susan and David. Very punctual and took great care of Beau and Bella. 10 stars! I'll definitely call on Susan when I have to be away again. Absolutely the best service & no regrets. I'm so glad my dogs got to stay in their own home with great care!

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.
94% of sitters in Port Washington 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 Port Washington home-away-from-home, 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 Port Washington.
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 Port Washington 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 , 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 .
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.
