“Ashley and her family were fantastic. I received update pictures of Coco. She took Coco for walks and her care for Coco was exceptional. I want to thank her again.”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing!! She always kept us updated. Max and Olive had the best time! She treated ours like they were her own! Definitely using again in the future! We had peace of mind being away knowing that our babies were in good hands!!”
“Brenda was wonderful with Forrest for 8 whole days. He can be handful and scared at times but she handled him very well, updated us often and even sent funny video of him playing with her cat. That made our trip being away from him and knowing he's in good hands. We're already planning to use Brenda again and we'll recommend her to others.”
“Communicative and caring. Julie kept me updated with how my older Greyhound was doing while I was away for three days. She also dropped him off for me so that there was no overlap with boarding other animals at her place, before I could make it back on Robbie's last day staying at her place. Hugely helpful! Highly recommended.”
“Kim took in Joey for a last minute trip and was so helpful and accommodating. Joey was a little scared at first but soon was playing and having a great time. He didn’t even come running when I called for him at pick up! So great to have Kim and family care for our fur baby.”
About: i love dogs and all animals. As a child we had a family dog and now I have one as an adult. I consider them part of the family. I currently have a very friendly 4 year old toy Goldendoodle named Benji. I work from home so my availability is very open and am also available on short notice. I will take very good care of your fur baby!!! I work Monday through Friday from home. I am available at your convenience to take care of your pet with minimal notice. I live in Caledonia. My dog Benji is very friendly with other dogs. I have a kennel if needed also. I usually let my dog out on a long lead. i have a partially fenced in yard. I will keep your pet safe. I will feed them also, if needed.
About: I've taken care of numerous family pets through the years which included dog care, cat care, and hamster care. I helped to provide play time, feeding, over night care, and of course potty breaks/ cleaning the litter box. I am currently available for doggy day care services from my apartment on Sundays, Monday's, Wednesday's, and Thursday's from 9am-5pm. I am also available for overnight boarding services from my apartment on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I have an open yard in the apartment complex. Sidewalks are plentiful for nice strolls with your fur baby. **I am requiring that all dogs that arrive to my home come with their own Collar and Leash AND POOP Scooper as well as their Feeding Bowls and Food.** Cat care will require all cats that arrive to my house to bring their own Litter/ Cat Box/ and Scoop. I will provide potty breaks for dogs every 2 hours unless need be sooner. I will also provide 1-2 walks depending on time needed.
“Alyssa is amazing. She LOVES pups and takes care of them like they were her own. She cuddles them, plays with them, walks them, and does whatever you ask her to do. She is a delight to deal with, so positive and loving. I received photos, videos and puppy updates periodically every day. I highly recommend Alyssa. You’d be lucky to have her caring for your pup!”
“Jody is one of the sweetest people I have met. She took care of my 13 year old schnauzer for a long weekend. She kept me updated with how Lucy was doing with texts and photos the whole time which made us feel so comfortable. We never worried. Also Lucy has a few extra requirements as she is 13, including a pill every day, needs to be carried outside and requires several potty breaks through the day. Jody had no trouble making sure Lucy had proper care. We’ll definitely be booking with Jody again in the future! Lucy was spoiled rotten! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Joseph was so kind as to take our Labrador very last minute. She is fearful of men in general, but immediately went with Joseph without any hesitation. Joseph sent us pictures of our dog playing with his dogs, which was awesome to see, as well as other updates that she was doing great. We already have plans for our dog to stay with Joseph again!!”
“Laura did a great job with my pup again! I know that he is well cared for and safe when she is taking care of him. He always has a great time with her dog Diesel and goes on nice walks. I love how he always comes back to me good and tired! I highly recommend Laura and I will definitely be using her again!”
“Rebecca and Dave were amazing with our dog Luna. She had such a great time while we were away. They have a huge yard for the dogs to run and play. They took such good care of her and we received daily updates with photos and videos. We will definitely have them watch Luna again! 10/10 experience!”
“Tony was great with Archie. He sent photos and videos which I really liked to see. Archie looked like he really enjoyed himself. Would highly recommend Tony. Thanks again for having Archie in your home”
“My Siberian Husky (Bella) was well cared for. I was sent plenty of photos of Bella enjoying herself and making herself at home @ Dean's house. He has a secure home with a fence that which gave Bella enough space to run and stretch her legs. It basically is a miniature dog park. Dean did a great job.”
About: My first dog left me the unconditional love I have for all animals, and I want to help other pet owners the same way rover helped me when I had her. When I first got her, I prepared by reading books and watching all the training videos I could. With her, I’ve learned how to read dogs body language and understand their barks/cues. Together we learned what made her comfortable with her crate, we learned how to fetch, sit, paw, and stay so I am comfortable with training puppies. She was a very energetic dog so I spent many hours at dog parks, and could do the same for your pup. I work full time but my work schedule is a lot more flexible for the next couple months. I’m available for boarding mostly Friday and Saturday nights, and I can dog sit weekdays after 3pm. I have random free days or early days from work, so please feel free to ask for services whenever needed and I’ll do my best to accommodate. My apartment has an open layout and your pet will be allowed in all rooms. My complex has designated pet areas so potty breaks will be easily accessible. I also love going outside for walks and love taking pups to the dog park. I have one nearby and I can spend hours at the dog park if your pet is energetic. I want your dog to feel comfortable and at home while they are away from home.
“I’m super grateful to Rachel and Matt. They were such kind, attentive sitters to Chloe. They have a large, enclosed back yard in a safe neighborhood and two sweet, well trained dogs to play with. They took her on walks AND runs! They sent me adorable videos and photos of Chloe during her stay. She usually doesn’t eat much when staying with sitters but she ate even more than usual - showing how comfortable and well exercised she was at their home. I think she misses her vacation home! I will definitely be requesting Rachel and Matt for doggy care in the future!”
“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!”
About: Hi my name is Michael and have had three Bernese Mountains dogs (2) at one time. started out one day helping out with different neighborhood dogs and decided to make this a business. I greet all my furry friends with love, kisses as if they are my own. I have trained all my Bernese mountain dogs to walk in the neighborhood with out a leash. Although at times they love to chase Rabbits but always come back. We swim, play catch, and just have fun. I administer pills if needed and pay close attention to changes in the attitude of a dogs. once I get to know them. I like to keep dogs on a schedule when it comes to eating and their potty breaks. I am reliable, focused in time management to meet the needs of dogs and their owners. I also care for cats too!
“Shannon was great. She sent timely updates about Griff and was really lovely to work with. Griff came back home happy and tired from activity. Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Racine
We had such a wonderful experience with Monica! This was our first time using a pet sitter, so we were a little nervous, but she immediately put us at ease. She took Baxley on so many fun adventures, kept us updated, and handled all of his little quirks so well. It was clear he was in great hands and having the best time! Having someone we trust to care for him beyond family and friends is such a relief, and we will absolutely be booking with Monica again. We couldn't recommend her more!
Melissa is absolutely the best!! I have used her services multiple times now and will continue to! She loves your fur babies as if they were her own!! She keeps you posted throughout their stay and sends pics. I know I can trust that my babies are well taken care of when I leave em with Melissa!! Her daughter is a huge fan which is an added bonus!! ♥️♥️

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
93% of sitters in Racine 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 Racine 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 Racine.
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 Racine. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Racine 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.
