“We had a great experience with Blythe! My dog has separation anxiety, and when I picked her up from Blythe's she was the calmest she's ever been after staying at a sitter's. She looked like she had a great time relaxing, getting lots of pets, and soaking in the attention. I'm very appreciative and we'll definitely look to book another stay with Blythe for next time.”
“Rebecca took great care of my Auro. I had plenty of pics and updates. Auro was the happiest during his stay and was very sad after he came back :(. He was missing his friends dearly.”
“Katrina was a great sitter! She updated us regularly throughout the visit on how our pup was doing. We did one day of daycare with her before an overnight weekend and that worked perfectly! Our pup was so comfortable with her and they got along great! We will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Dean took great care of our dogs! He was very communicative and sent updates, photos, and videos. He was flexible with us when our schedule changed. We would definitely book with him again.”
“Kelli was amazing with my dog Dusty!! She sent frequent updates throughout my time away and made me feel very comfortable through the whole process. My dog definitely loved spending time with her. Would highly recommend Kelli and will definitely be using her services again!”
“This was my first time using rover and Matt and Rachel made me feel very comfortable leaving Porter. They sent me regular photo updates and their communication was always clear and timely. I would definitely use them again!”
“Brenda was wonderful with Forrest for 8 whole days. He can be handful and scared at times but she handled him very well, updated us often and even sent funny video of him playing with her cat. That made our trip being away from him and knowing he's in good hands. We're already planning to use Brenda again and we'll recommend her to others.”
“I do not have enough nice things to say about Erin! She is so thoughtful and kind, and you can tell she truly loves and cares about all dogs. It’s never easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Erin makes this task so much less daunting. I know my dog is safe with her and she takes all steps to ensure the stay is a good fit on both ends. I’m so glad we were able to connect with Erin and Brian as I feel like I’ve truly found great people to watch over my pup when I’m away without having to worry. Her pups norm and Reuben are also great! I can’t thank Erin enough to caring for my baby and truly appreciate her!”
“Sandy is truly a doll! Used her multiple times now & she always sends adorable pictures, keeps me updated & even made some cute little bandanas for valentines day! I'd recommend her to anyone ❤”
“I was nervous leaving my boys in someone else's home. From the meet and greet it was obvious that Zach would be a great fit for my boys! He was engaging and they both liked him alot right away. When I dropped them off, they were excited to be there!! Zach was Great with communication, sending a Pic and video answering me quickly. I would definitely recommend Zach!! I will definitely have him watch them again if needed and if he accepted!!”
“Always a 5-star experience with Mary and her family! Thanks for helping Bud be a better pup when it comes to taking treats! He gets better and better after each stay with you! He's looking forward to his next overnight with all of you!”
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.
“Jennifer was so kind and patient with Lemmy, who was experiencing some pretty bad anxiety. It turns out condo life is overstimulating for my pup, and I ended up coming home early for her, but Jennifer was so gentle and understanding with her and communicative and with me. If you don't have a anxious lunatic dog like Lemmy, I HIGHLY recommend Jennifer.”
“Andrew and Taylor were amazing with Ella! They gave us thorough updates, asked great questions, and gave Ella lots of love! We felt confident and at ease knowing Ella was in great hands. We would definitely re-book again!”
“Maria and her husband were great! They accepted a last minute boarding request from us, and we were able to drop off our dog within the hour! They were very accommodating, kind, and our dog had so much fun with them! They send pictures throughout the day so we could make sure he was doing okay, and he absolutely loved his stay. We will definitely be booking again, and we recommend Maria highly!”
“Frank was really wonderful with Josie. He was very communicative and sent lots of photos during her stay. Highly recommended, will definitely be a repeat customer”
“Olivia was the best! She is kind and gentle and just loved our KC!! Olivia was able to give KC her meds without any issue. She was able to get her to eat! KC was definitely spoiled by Olivia! Thank you for taking such great care of our baby!”
About: I am currently a foster parent for the Humane Society and have grown up with dogs all my life. I have crate and potty trained several puppies and worked with older dogs on behavioral needs. I am off of work in summer and have availability to spend time with pets! I can take dogs for a walk or just play with them. I’m used to caring for my foster animals throughout the day. I have a medium sized crate in my apartment, along with a park and trails right across the street! There are plenty of nice walks and a fenced in pet park nearby.

Anna worked really well with our fearful miniature poodle. He stayed at her home for several nights. Anna sent us pics, videos and updates. We discussed how to deal with some of his fearful behaviors. He was taken on walks and enjoyed his time with her dog. I highly recommend Anna!

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 South Milwaukee 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 South Milwaukee 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 South Milwaukee.
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 South Milwaukee 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.
