“Yolanda and her family took excellent care for my two boys! She was very responsive to my concerns and questions. The boys also got great treatment, lots of love and walks. I am especially pleased with Yolanda’s ability to take care of any size and type of dog. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for care”
“I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Ashley and her family. Penelope has stayed with Ashley before, and it is so clear how much they genuinely adore her — and the feeling is absolutely mutual! Ashley is incredible about sending me photos and little updates throughout the day, so I always know how Penelope is doing and what kind of fun she is getting into. There is such a difference between knowing your pet is being well cared for and knowing she is being genuinely loved while you’re away, and with Ashley, I never have to worry for a second. Her entire family is so incredibly sweet to Penelope, and she is clearly completely comfortable and happy in their home. When I picked her up today, she genuinely seemed like she would have preferred to stay with them rather than come home with me — which I suppose is the highest praise a pet sitter can receive 😂 Ashley has become someone I completely trust with Penelope, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We will absolutely be back!”
“Amazing. Communicated daily and sent lots of pictures. She made adjustments to help my dog eat while being in a new environment. Will definitely be rebooking.”
“Sherry was so amazing in accommodating my senior pup within her home. Tedi was very comfortable and was able to enjoy all of her favorite things with Sherry from naps on the couch to car rides. I appreciated the photos and updates I received and could not have felt more comfortable being away from Tedi for an extended period of time. Definitely will be asking for a repeat stay should her schedule allow!”
“Angela and family were outstanding! I will definitely call them again. They LOVE dogs! Angela was wonderful to work with, she set up a Meet and Greet to see how our dogs would get along. Nothing was stressful for her... she's calm, cool, and super easy to work with. She sent multiple pictures and gave updates. Her back yard is VERY dog friendly with a super fence and TONS of dog toys! Book her, you will not be sorry!”
“Our one year old German Shepherd had a wonderful weekend with Cindy and her family. We loved getting pics and updates about his stay. I would recommend Cindy to anyone looking for a dog sitter/boarding.”
“This was a trial-run for a longer stay in fall. Maria and Nayibe were absolutely wonderful with our Stella and we now have no qualms about leaving her there later. We received 3 pictures during her only 1 night stay that showed our little girl was completely making herself at home! Your dog will be staying in an actual small home with dog toys and beds around, and a friendly little Chloe yorkie to meet them. Both ladies were wonderful with her, and I can't recommend their care enough.”
“Auria took excellent care of our 4 month old puppy for his first overnights away from home! He got along well with her dog and I appreciated the updates she gave me. I’ll definitely use her again for dog care!”
“This was the longest stay Aurora had away from us and she seems to have throughly enjoyed the stay at Jennifer’s. Throughout the stay Jennifer was very responsive and had provided daily updates and pictures.”
“Lisa was amazing with our dog Winston. She made it easy for us to leave and feel at ease on our vacation. She is extremely kind and it was obvious to us she worked very hard to make sure Winston was happy and comfortable in her home. Communication was great and we appreciated the updates and the photos. We already have another stay with Lisa on the books.”
“Cortney was really accommodating and great with Bo. Also prompt in communicating and shared pictures and a video of Bo during his stay. Her dog was a great playmate for Bo and he had a blast. I would recommend Coutney!”
“Nylia was amazing to our dog. Nylia fed her on time, walked her when she needed, and cared for her like she was with me. Nylia is the dog babysitter you need to book. We will be booking with her again when we come back to Milwaukee.”
“Elizabeth provided 4 days of boarding for our dog. We were able to book her with short notice. Although my dog was nervous around children, she was able to help my dog get used to them. She is responsive and very accommodating. Our return flight was late and she was able to adjust our pickup time without any issues. Would highly recommend for boarding your dog.”
“Mila (German shepherd) loves going to Scott’s home. When I dropped her off, she was so excited to be there. Scott does a great job providing pictures and updates throughout the stay. I appreciate having a safe place for Mila to go while I’m out of town.”
“Cindy was the BEST! She gave the most loving care to our Milo! He got many walks and he loved the freedom of a fenced backyard! Cindy kept in touch while we were on vacation with text updates and daily photos! It was very reassuring and we knew we left Milo in very capable and loving care. Milo will be staying at Cindy’s Vacation Resort again!!”
“Ester was great with Zeus. Zeus is very energetic, and had a wonderful time. I was sent videos of him during his stay. Will definitely book with Ester again.”
“Angie was great! She was so accommodating, very responsive, and sent me many updates during my time away. I knew Phinney was in good hands with her. I'd definitely use her again and would recommend her to others as well.”
“Olga was a wonderful host for our two dogs! She was quick with replies and provided plenty of photos and videos while we were away! Thank you to her and her family for helping us out in a great way. We would absolutely recommend her to all friends and family!!”

Romy was quick to respond with my initial booking request and was very flexible with timing for a meet and greet, drop off and pick up. She sent updates throughout their stay and made me feel like they were well taken care of. She even bought them some treats. Thank you Romy!
Katie and her lovely family took fabulous care of our Cavi, Marley while we were out of town for 10 days. He obviously got lots of snuggles, attention and playtime wile in their care. We’re just glad Marley didn’t want to stay with them rather than us when we returned 🤞! We will definitely be calling them for future boarding 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 River Hills 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 River Hills 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 River Hills.
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 River Hills. On Rover:
- 89% 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 River Hills 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.
