“We felt Teddy was very well taken care of. He got lots of love, plenty of tennis ball throws, and sweet cuddles from Heather and her daughter. It felt great knowing Teddy was in such good hands while we were away.”

“Marie's place was a perfect fit for my curious dog. I know he had plent of attention and was even able to help with chores! He was clearly very comfortable and I know we will be asking for Marie's help again.”

“Ryan and Martha took wonderful care of my dog. They treated her as a member of their family. They took her for walks and sent daily pictures. I will certainly ask them to care for Ella again when needed.”

“Terrific hosts and experience. We could not be happier, Made our Irish Setter feel like home. Very rapid responses and send us regular updates. Will definetly book with Anne and Patrick again.”

About: Friendly, warm, and welcoming. I have plenty of indoor and outdoor space to roam in my home plus a fenced in backyard. I've had dogs in the home since I was child and have been caring full-time for my dog for 7 years. I have previous experience with in-home boarding for some of my co-workers and have cared for dogs with nervous bladders. I currently work full time, but am always home in the evenings for plenty of playtime and walks. I can be flexible with pick up and drop off times with at least a day's notice to work with your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of space to roam inside my home. Dogs are welcome on the furniture or in bed if they need some extra cuddle time. I can crate your dogs if needed during the day and my own pup is crate trained for while I'm away.
“Jessica and her kiddos were great to my dog! He got along well with her doggos and she kept them all super active! Really appreciated all the pictures and updates while I was gone. Would 100%book with her again!”

“I can't recommend Stephanie highly enough! She recently watched our dog, Hazel, and she was truly wonderful from start to finish. From the moment we dropped Hazel off, Stephanie provided excellent and frequent updates, including photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that Hazel was having a great time and felt completely comfortable in her care. Stephanie was incredibly reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely treated Hazel like her own family. Hazel came home tired, happy, and clearly well-loved. If you're looking for a trustworthy, loving, and professional sitter on Rover, book Stephanie—we certainly will be booking her again!”

“Very friendly and dependable. Timely communication, and great pictures and updates during the stay. Confident that Louie got lots of attention, exercise, doggy socialization, and love.”

“Rona took excellent care of our high energy dog! He absolutely loved getting to explore and sniff around her spacious backyard, and he was very exhausted when we picked him up. We appreciated her daily updates and pics/videos. This was our first time having Rona take care of our dog, and we would happily book with her again.”

“Amy was great! Our dog Cobi was with her for 10 days. I felt at ease leaving him with her because I know he was being spoiled and loved on. She sent many pictures and updates. He even came home with a few more toys then he left with. Thanks Amy!”

“Zoe was well cared for at Hannah and her family‘s home. We appreciated the updates and pictures very much. We will definitely have Zoe back again another time when we travel.”

“Mary took our dog for our wedding weekend and she was great! Pugsy had a great time with her dog, going on a walk, and going to the dog park! She sent pictures and we did not worry about Pugsy at all! We will definitely book with Mary in the future!”

“Sara was great with our dog. From the initial "meet & greet" to the actual stay, she made us and our dog feel comfortable. She was quick to respond to questions, and provided regular updates throughout the stay. Would highly recommend using her again.”

“Sofi took wonderful care of our Poppy! Poppy was very nervous at the beginning of her stay but Sofi seemed to gently help her warm to her new surroundings! We appreciate that very much! We also appreciated her frequent photo updates! We recommend Sofi to others! Thank you again!”

“Manuela took great care of our dog, Izzy, for the week. She asked detailed questions about Izzy's care routine to make sure the transition was as smooth as possible. We received photos and updates throughout the stay. We'd be happy for Izzy to stay with her again.”

“Val took amazing care of our dogs and also was extra attentive in walking us through the entire Rover experience since this was our first time. We picked up very happy and healthy dogs today and couldn’t have been more thrilled by the experience. Thank you so much, Val! Because of you and your updates/pictures we were able to take a much needed vacation without worrying about our fur babies.”

“Laura welcomed our Barley into her home with open arms. She allowed us to come with Barley and check things out before having Barley stay with her. Shadow, Laura's massive golden retriever, is the friendliest pup around and gave Barley the opportunity to learn all the tricks around the house! :) We are so very lucky to have found Laura (and Shadow) and plan to have this be Barley's home away from home in the future!”

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 Rutland 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 Rutland.
<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 Rutland 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.
