“Alisha and her family are phenomenal! They took such fantastic care of our two dogs while we flew home to the east coast for a few days. From start to finish, I felt completely at ease leaving our fur babies with them. We got pictures every day and Alisha was so responsive to messages. Our dogs were happy to see us when we picked them up but you could tell that they had such a good time that they didn’t miss us too much haha. Don’t hesitate to book with them!”

“Olivia was very open with communication before dropping off my kitten, she sent daily updates with photos, and she even bathed my kitten after her incident in the car. I believe my kitten was very well taken care of and was happy and healthy when she returned.”

“I left my Toby with Michelle for a long weekend. She was great with communication from the very beginning! Michelle let me know what to expect and put my worrying at ease. Drop off went smoothly and at least once a day, I received pictures or videos of him! I will absolutely use Michelle again in the future. She was patient and calm with Toby who is nervous around anyone new!”

“Karen and family took amazing care of our giant Newfoundland Nora. Spoiled her during her stay which was great to see. Pictures and updates daily showed how good of a time she had. Thank you for taking care of our baby.”

“Alexander cared for my dog exceptionally well. I received photos and videos during the stay and it looked like my dog was having lots of fun. I highly recommend Alexander and will rebook with him for future stays!”


“This was our first time using Rover. We hit the jackpot picking Nicole & Derek. Of course we were worried about leaving Odie and then with the rain the first night, I was really concerned about how Odie was doing. I received pictures and updates plus was told Odie got to sleep with one of their boys! When I picked Odie up, he was happy and really tired from having a fun weekend. Nothing like his reaction or smell when we have had to put him in a kennel. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nicole, Derek and your boys! I hope they will be available when we next need to leave Odie in someone else’s care.”


“We planned a very spontaneous 5 day trip to warm weather and found Mike on rover. We met with him and felt really good about our interaction and his interaction with our pup. Georgee is just 5 months old so I was a little concerned about leaving her but I had absolutely nothing to be concerned about! Mike sent us updates, photos and videos daily. Georgee got to socialize with other dogs which was awesome! I felt comforted knowing our little Georgee was being so well taken care of. We will definitely be using Mike in the future! Highly recommend!”

“Jennifer was so sweet, caring, and accommodating to our pup. I loved getting pictures and messages throughout his stay, which really put my mind at ease. I truly appreciate her taking in a puppy and being so flexible with our schedule tweaks. We'll definitely book again.”


“Tonya did a remarkable job watching our dog! She was attentive to our dog's needs, was in great communication with us throughout his stay, and I had peace of mind knowing my dog was well cared for. I highly recommend Tonya!”

“Abbie and her family took great care of our puppy. It was our first time leaving him with someone we didn’t know and we could not be happier. She sent many updates and picture and took great care to make sure she knew all of our dog’s needs. We could relax knowing our pup was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend Abbie!”


“Thank you for taking such great care of Grizzly. He came home happy and tired. We loved receiving all of the updates and photos. We will definitely be reaching out the next time we need a dog sitter!”

“Hands down, Dynette is the best pet sitter I have ever used! She went above and beyond with my dog! She kept me informed and sent me pictures throughout the week and I have never been on a trip and felt so at ease about leaving my dog! I knew that my dog was in great hands and getting lots of love! I was so pleased that I am booking her for another vacation in a few months!”

“Our standard poodle stayed with John and Teri earlier this year while we were gone for a long trip, and then again a second time this weekend. We know he is spoiled and loved and feels right at home both by the photos and updates John and Teri share as well as how our dog acts when we drop him off and pick him up. We are so grateful to know he is having a good time when we are gone! John and Teri are wonderful!”

“Communication with Brittni was wonderful. She provide daily updates on how my dog was doing, along with photos. Our dog had a nice stay with her, her dog & family. Thank you! I will definitely consider leaving my dog with her again!”

“Heather took great care of my doggo over the holidays. I know he had a blast from the photos she sent. Happy to know my dog has a new furry friend to hang out with.”

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 Viking 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 Viking.
<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 Viking 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.
