“Jennifer was great to work with! This is the first time I’ve used any type of boarding service, and she made it easy and made me feel comfortable with everything. I could tell she has a lot of experience with dogs and was confident everything was going to be fine. I look forward to working with her again!”
“This was 7 months old, Patsys first sleepover. We had a reference for Frank and Julie being excellent pet sitters. We received photos and a video of her time there which helped ease an uneasy mind. Patsy was well cared for and will be returning to Frank and Julie’s. We totally agree with the reference we received, they are really the best pet sitters.”
“Bethany was so good with our lil Gertie! Gertie is usually pretty shy with new people but Bethany got her out of her shell! She sent pictures and updates. Gertie had so much fun!”
About: Taking walks around my pond, lots of cuddles, and play will be enjoyed at my home. Open to working with your feeding schedule preferences for your pet. Weekends, I will be home more to play and cuddle. I work outside of home during the week, but in the evenings I will have lots of time to play and have fun. If you have a crate, I would love for you to bring it for the dog. This way, if I am sitting with multiple pets while I'm gone, they are safe. Also, I will always have a leash in my complex.
About: I grew up with animals and have been dog sitting for 16+ years. I’m experienced with puppies, training, senior care, and dogs of all personalities. I’ve also cared for other animals, including horses and household pets. I treat every animal like family and provide loving, attentive care! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals throughout the day, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply giving them companionship and attention. I’m flexible and happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs and schedule. I have two loving dogs at home who enjoy walks, hikes, retrieving, deer tracking, and swimming. During drop-in visits, I’m happy to feed, play with, walk, and give your pets plenty of attention and love while you’re away.
“We had such a great experience with Brooke! We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. We would absolutely book with her again—highly recommend!”
“I don’t know what I would do without Kimberly she is so fantastic. She taught LaRena how to shack this overnight visit. LaRena didn’t want to leave she has so much fun. I can’t thank Kimberly enough I had day surgery and I didn’t worry at all about what I was going to do with LaRena”
About: I have had dogs my entire life I have taken care of dogs in the past as well as I have four dogs of my own right now. I have the privilege of fostering through our pack animal rescue Inc and have saved 81 dogs. With that process I have had dogs that are dominant submissive some dogs that are high energy some dogs that are extremely scared and timid some dogs that do not get well with other dogs or do not get well with cats. We have worked with them trained Incorporated them into the pack. I feel that fostering has helped me grow and learned different breeds and personalities and ages. I have a such a passion for dogs I've loved them I love everything about them and I'm very amazed by your personality and instincts. As of right now I am home. I am a mom to 5 kids, 4 dogs, and two cats. I Foster through our pack animal rescue so I always have extra dogs in the house as well. There will be plenty of time for exercise and socialization if that is something you were looking for. My evenings are the busiest due to my kids being involved in things. Most weekends I am available as well. I have a fenced in yard. I am capable of separating dogs if need be I have space for kennels if that is what you choose. My dogs have been around others and are used to sharing their space due to fostering. I go for walks daily I am able to handle multiple dogs at a time as well. Just like our fosters when we have a dog in our home we respect its boundaries and also give them all the love that they deserve. This of course as well goes into play if not at my house if at client's house. As I do have a husband and five children I will be the only one managing feeding letting out and any other things that was specifically for your dog. This would be for the safety of everyone and for the responsibility and liability of me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Rural 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 Rural.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rural 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.
