“Jeanette is wonderful! Panda had an absolute blast at her house. He was completely worn out and slept for a full 10 hours when he returned home. Jeanette also sent me a lot of pictures and videos of Panda during his stay. When I arrived to pick him up at her house, Panda looked so comfortable on her couch that it almost seemed like he didn’t want to leave. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will definitely book with her again.”
“Jenny and Darin were great! They provided updates throughout the day and took great care of our slightly anxious puppy :) Will definitely book with them again!”
“Grace was great to work with! She was very quick to respond and provided me with the peace of mind that my dog was well taken care of. Highly recommend Grace to anyone in the Madison area!”
About: I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had experience with animals of all kinds and learned early on that every animal has their own personality, needs, and quirks! Whether your dog needs a long walk, some extra playtime, medication reminders, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I’m also comfortable with puppies, energetic dogs, and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated while you’re away. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Also at my fiance’s flower shop pets are welcome, so I’m often around animals even when I’m not at home. This makes it easy for me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I work from home, so they’ll have plenty of company throughout the day, along with walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I grew up on a farm around all kinds of animals, and I really enjoy having pets around. I’m happy to let them settle into their own routine, whether that means playing fetch all afternoon, curling up on the couch, or taking a nice long nap. I’ll follow any instructions you leave and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with us.
“Manu is great with our dog, she takes her on walks by the water and plays with her. My dog gets SO excited when we pull up to Manu’s house because she knows she’s about to have a fun day!”
“Wolfy had such a great day with Mary and her family. He can back very happy, and Mary sent several lovely photos of his time. Mary was also flexible with me when my plans changed after booking, which was so appreciated.”
“Renita was so wonderful with our dog Odin! She was so kind and welcoming to him. She had treats and he immediately warmed up to her. She was flexible and very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend utilizing Renita!!”
“Kayla and Lorelei are conscientious, kind dog lovers which are the cornerstones of what I look for in dog boarding. But just as important, they understand the importance of daily activity and provide regular trips to dog parks where my dog can exercise off leash. Thank you!”
About: I’m Dennis. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and I’m genuinely good with them. Neighbors ask me to watch their dogs on a regular basis and I love it Hey, I’m Dennis. I’ve been dog-sitting for years and I’m really good with dogs. My neighbors trust me with theirs all the time. I’m friendly, reliable, and I actually enjoy it. Happy to help with walks or sitting whenever you need. I’m reliable, easy-going and always on time. Happy to do walks or pet sitting as needed. Let me know if you have any special requests.
“Amazing! My pet loved his day with Jamie and enjoyed playing with her dogs. From get going he has been excited with the warmth he was received. She was constantly updating me and also provided pointers for his training.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 5 years old. I grew up in the country in Texas and at one point we had around 20 cats and 9 dogs. We took care of the strays that made their way onto our property, and sometimes adopted from shelters and random people. I was taught love and compassion for animals since I was a young child. I continue to embrace the kindness I have in my heart for animals everyday. I’m usually available most of the time, as I don’t have any full time work to tend to. I also do not celebrate holidays which can benefit pet owners very much because they can count on me being available as long as I have not already booked with someone else. I would be wonderful to your pup insuring they get enough potty breaks, walks if you would like, maybe the dog park upon your approval, and even car rides if you’d like! I offer complimentary treats.. I keep some in my home. And of course I would get them approved by my client first. For cats in my clients home, I would do the same things. I would also insure the cat box is clean, and lots of play time if that’s what the kitty likes :-)
About: I have owned 4 dogs in the past 30 years; a Chihuahua/Toy Terrier, a Chihuahua/Shitzu, a Dachshund/Corgi and I recently owned a Toy Poodle - who was elderly, anxious, blind and toothless. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge and I miss her so. She was my world! My past dog sitting experience includes overnight care for; a Keeshond, a Terrier, a medium sized mixed breed, a Japanese Chin/Poodle, a Standard Poodle, a Sheltie, and a Pomeranian. Dogs are my special interest and I enjoy loving and caring for them. My 30 years of experience with different dog breeds and temperaments has shaped my ability to have realistic expectations, intentional patience and flexibility with the individual dog personalities that I have encountered. They are all good dogs and I love them all! My nickname is Rue. I am available most days and evenings to board dogs in my home which has a fenced in yard. I have no children or pets of my own at this time. I can also make home visits to let your dog/s out, walk your dog/s, and/or pet sit at the your house as needed. I am flexible with how I can care for your pet. My intention is to keep your dog/s in the routine that they are familiar with so that they can be the calm, happy dog/s they are destined to be.
About: I regularly walk and check in on a dog four times a week and have pet sat for several families. I’ve also helped care for my families dog over the years. I’m reliable, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe and cared for. I currently have a pretty high availability to care for pets — through boarding, quick walks, drop in visits, etc! I love early morning walks and exploring nature. I provide a calm, safe environment and always follow care instructions closely. Though I don’t have a fenced yard, I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats — supervising pets carefully to ensure their safety and comfort at all times.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riley
I booked doggy daycare with Jamie. I was nervous about leaving my dog Deli alone with someone else for the first time, but she had a great time in Jamie's care! Jamie was great about letting Deli be her high-energy self while still keeping her safe. I love that she has her own dogs for Deli to play with! Jamie was very flexible and responsive, and she sent me some adorable pictures. I hope to use her daycare services again in the future.
We used to have Leonardo stay in his crate while we were at work, but we knew he deserved something better. After looking through several profiles, Jamie really stood out. Once we read more about her, we felt confident Leo would have an amazing time with her and her dogs. Now he comes home completely tired and even falls asleep in the car, which says everything! Jamie is so kind and welcoming. we couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for him. We would absolutely recommend her. Thank you, Jamie, for treating Leo like your own while we’re at work!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 297 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Riley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Riley commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of November 2026, there are 297 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of WI. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
