“Cole did a great job watching my dog for the weekend! I got tons of pictures and videos of her running around and having a great time with his dog. He was responsive and very flexible with pick up and drop off times”
“Becky is the absolute best! I wish I could give a higher rating than 5 stars for her. Our older dog got sick while staying with her, and she went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of, even offering to take him to the vet while we were away on vacation. She gave us lots of updates to let us know how he was doing; communication was great. She told us when we first met that when dogs stay with her, she treats them like part of her family, and she showed us that she really means it.”
“Rachel and Matt took great care of our frenchie while we were gone for 2 weeks. They kept us up to date every day on how he was doing, which was greatly appreciated. He came home tired, so I know they got him plenty of exercise. We would absolutely book with them again.”
“Dawn and her family provided a comforting setting for our dog Astro. He was the only client they had for the stay which to us is just what he likes. He’s not much a social one, but tolerates well with other dogs if he has to! They paid Astro lots of attention when he needed it. Kept us up to date on anything that was important to tell us and sent pictures to show us he’s doing well! He’s pretty easy to take care of and not a trouble maker for anybody and he knew he was in good hands! Also, we liked that Dawn has a fenced in backyard! Big plus! Thanks again! Mike and Liz”
“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.”
“Charlie had a great stay! Jack kept him active. Took him on runs and walks by the lake. Jack is quick to respond and asks questions as needed. Charlie seemed happy and tired when he got home.”
“Lacey was great! She quickly responded on short notice to watch my dog, she was super flexible with drop off and pick up times and her dog definitely had fun playing with mine and it was great knowing she was in good hands and getting lots of playtime! Will definitely book again!”
About: The Perfect Quiet Getaway for Your Senior Dog Hello! We are Nissa and Brian, a dog-loving couple offering a peaceful retreat exclusively for older, larger dogs. We know that senior dogs need a different kind of care—less chaos, more naps, and a safe, predictable environment to simply relax. Our home is a calm, quiet sanctuary. With no young kids running around the house, your dog will enjoy a genuinely low-stress environment where they can snooze undisturbed. We take exactly one dog at a time, guaranteeing your pet receives our undivided attention and a personalized, quiet stay. We have a secure, fully fenced-in backyard. It’s perfect for gentle, off-leash sniffing and leisurely sunny naps in the grass without the overwhelming energy of dog parks or busy streets. We have hands-on experience providing attentive, reliable care for dogs. We are entirely comfortable managing the unique pacing, comfort needs, and gentle handling that senior dogs require. To maintain our tranquil environment, we exclusively welcome: Senior Dogs: Ages 10 and up. Medium to Giant Breeds: We love the big dogs! Solo Guests: Only one pet per stay for maximum peace and quiet. If you have a gentle giant who just wants a soft spot to land and a quiet yard to explore, we would love to meet them! Pet care seamlessly integrates into our everyday lives, as we are both home throughout the day most of the week. Brian works from home and Nissa is home full-time, meaning your dog will rarely be left alone and will have constant, quiet companionship. Our weekends are similarly low-key and predictable. On Saturday mornings, Nissa heads to the farm for horse riding lessons while Brian heads out for a weekend trail run for a few hours. During this brief window, your dog will have a safe, quiet, and comfortable space to nap before we return for a relaxing afternoon together. Providing a safe, low-stress environment is our absolute top priority. We purposefully host only one dog at a time to ensure your senior pet receives our undivided attention without the unpredictable energy or stress of multiple dogs in the house. Our home is a calm sanctuary specifically tailored for medium to giant older dogs to relax in peace. We have a fully fenced-in backyard that is secure and perfect for gentle, supervised outdoor time. We always monitor outdoor breaks and ensure the indoor temperature and noise levels remain perfectly comfortable for a snoozing senior.
“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!”
“Karen and family are just incredible when it comes to taking care of our fur child. Lambeau is pretty spoiled and highly energetic, and Karen totally embraces it. She is super flexible and caring, and we're lucky to have found her!”
“My dog's loved being at Amanda's! I got so many cute pictures while we were away and you can tell they enjoyed cuddling with her and her son. Our pups were truly treated like family and I have already booked my dogs next stay with her.”
“Kayla was awesome ! Her communication was out of this world . My babygirl 🐶 really enjoyed her staycation . I’ll definitely book again — and if you’re considering booking with Kayla don’t hesitate!”
“Genevieve is an absolute DREAM dogsitter. We booked her to watch our older dog at her place while we traveled. She was perfectly suited for this type of booking on all levels. Super communicative, responsive, & kind. She kept our pup active and took her on some fun excursions! 10/10!”
“Kim did such a wonderful job caring for my pup, even when he was a bit hard to handle right away. She was communicative and transparent and worked hard to make sure that he was active, comfortable, and well-loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.”
“Sonja took great care of my baby. She sent photos and messages to let me know how he was doing. Her communication was excellent and she was very easy to work with.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Francis
Joe and Ramiro are incredible. Second time using them, and my dog, who normally has separation anxiety, ran right into their home without looking back. We have finally found a dog sitter that feels like vacation for our Oreo. They are great with dogs and take great care of them.
We used Rover for the first time and couldn’t be happier with Teri. She watched our dog Ranger and gave us daily updates with pictures, which was a huge relief compared to the kennel we used to use. Ranger was clearly well cared for, and the whole experience was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Teri!
I’m new to the area and was approaching panic mode because I needed to leave town for an overnight with work and didn’t know what to do with Lola. After a referral to this app from the vet, I found Mary and my nerves were set at ease. We met with her shortly to let her and Lola get a vibe and Lola was instantly making herself at home. We are already rebooking with Mary and keeping her at the top of the list. I have no reservations about referring Mary or leaving my pup with her.
We've used Katrina for a day sit, but just had our first overnight. We received updates and photos and the reassurance we needed our girl was doing well and feeling comfortable. With a big trip coming up, we are very relieved to have found such a great fit for us. Highly recommend!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Saint Francis is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $65 per night. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 820 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Saint Francis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in Saint Francis 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 Saint Francis 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 Saint Francis.
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.
You and your Saint Francis 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.
