“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”

“This was the first time I left our 8 year old schnauzer, Winnie, with Jill K. Everything went very well. Jill is very accommodating with drop off and pick up times and her home is set up perfect for her doggie clients. She has a nice fenced in yard, a room just for the visiting dog(only for when Jill is away from home) and two very cute, friendly dogs ! Both Winnie and her Mom were overall very pleased with Jill's service and will definitely return !”

“Sarah, Dan and their girls were amazing! Badger loves children and had a ball. They provided pictures during the stay which helped calm our nerves. We noticed he was exhausted when he got home which is a good sign. We would definitely use them again.”

About: Over 20 years of experience, including elderly dogs and puppies. I love dogs and enjoy walks, park visits, games and couch snuggles. I know how important it is that your fluffy family members are taken care with as much love and stability as possible when you are away. I currently have a 10 month old standard poodle and she is my whole world. I understand how important this job is! I am an artist and work part time at my home studio. My flexible work schedule allows plenty of time for dog walks, park visits, play, attention and engagement throughout the day. I have a fully fenced in yard and a very friendly (well socialized) 10 month old standard poodle who loves having friends to play with. Our home is 4,200 square feet with plenty of space for dogs to play and settle in. We also have the first floor entirely puppy proofed, making it safe for even the youngest of curious explorers.
“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.”

“Very caring family. They gave me regular updates as my senior dog tried to adjust to staying with a non family member for the 1st time. Would use them again in a heartbeat.”

About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience as a dog foster, which has given me the ability to care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable adjusting to new routines quickly and helping pets feel safe and settled in a new environment. I provide calm, attentive, in home care where pets are treated like family. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, whether that includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, crate time, or extra play and attention. I’ve cared for both high energy dogs who need structure and exercise, as well as more anxious or relaxed dogs who need a calm, comforting space. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, loved, and at home while their owners are away and to keep owners updated so they can feel at ease. My schedule is flexible, I work part time and I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day. I’m typically home most of the day, so pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I can adjust my daily routine around the pets in my care and make sure their needs are met on a regular schedule. I provide care in a calm, clean, and pet friendly home where safety and comfort are the top priority. Pets are supervised throughout the day and are never left unattended for long periods. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any specific instructions from the owner. I introduce pets slowly into my home to help them feel comfortable and settled. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and all outdoor breaks are always supervised. Inside, pets have a cozy, relaxed environment where they can rest and feel at home. Pets are welcome on furniture if that is allowed by their owner, so they can stay as comfortable as they are in their own home. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, especially during the adjustment period. My goal is to create a safe, low stress, loving environment, and I provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.
“Tia & Colin along with their kids were wonderful with my puppy!!! I was so thrilled to find someone that I could leave my puppy with for a weekend. They treated my little one like they loved her and that made my time away so much better!!! Thank you!!!”

“I had the pleasure of having Nikki and her lovely family watch our dog, Kota, who has a history of seizures and requires a little extra care. She did a truly wonderful job. Throughout Kota’s stay, she sent frequent pictures and updates, which helped ease our minds and kept us informed. Her attentiveness, kindness, and clear communication were greatly appreciated. Kota was in excellent hands, and it was clear she treated her like one of her own. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate care for their pet—especially if they have special medical needs.”

“Did an absolute amazing job with our dogs. Sent us many photo updates and any questions or concerns were answered right away. Very accommodating and friendly. Kept our dogs active and social. Followed dietery needs. We can just tell our dogs had a great slumber party!;)”

“Our boy Fig stayed with Sylvia for a week and did great! Very reassuring to have such a nice couple to board our little guy with when the trip was so long, but it went really well. Would do it again, and highly recommend! Thanks!!”

“Great experience working with Yshonda. It seems like my dog Scout really enjoyed staying with her. She did a very good job of keeping me updated while I was away on vacation, providing videos of scout interacting with the other dogs, and she was also very flexible with pick up and drop off. I would highly recommend her services!”


About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 9 years old. I LOVE dogs--especially small ones! I have trained all of my dogs. I board friends' dogs in my home all the time, and am now excited to move into boarding strangers' dogs here on Rover! I work full-time, a mix of in-office and at home. I work from home on Thursdays and have flexibility on Fridays, so it works best for me to be able to provide boarding on long weekends (Thursday-Sunday). I am happy to provide your pet with seamless care and match what they are used to in your home. I have a large yard and a quiet neighborhood. My home has many rooms and I have some gates so that I can separate pets if needed. I also have a puppy play pen for smaller/younger pups who need their own space.

“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”

“Angel and Little Man always have a great time. Easy scheduling, great response times, and my pups are exhausted from playing when they get home. Thanks !”

“Honestly the best pet sitter you could imagine! This was my first time traveling without my pup and she made the entire experience super smooth/stress free and kept me updated daily! Absolutely adore her and her cozy home♡ highly recommended for sure”

“Evita was great with Togepi, she was on her own little vacation while I was away. I could tell Togepi was well taken care of and Evita would make sure to communicate and send me updates when I started to miss my pup. 10/10, would book again!”

“Elizabeth K. and family, did an amazing job of carrying for my fur baby last week! She sent daily updates and photos to me about her, which I greatly appreciated. Tippy, felt right at home with them. I will be using them again in the near future. Thanks Elizabeth and family. ❤️🙏🏽🤗”

“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.”

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!

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
