“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.”
“Tonya made our pup feel so loved with plenty of cuddles and walks! Willow felt comfortable right away. She sent us a couple photos and messages each day so we knew how she was doing!”
“My dog, CiCi lets me know how her stay has gone. Although excited to see me when I picked her up, she clearly had a great stay and was affectionate with the 3 elementary aged daughters. The girls expressed their fondness of her, another sign of a very positive stay. I will use Cate and Tim again. Thank you for taking such good care of my little pride and joy.”
“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!”
“Rashelle was awesome and Willy had lots of fun playing with some new friends. ❤️ Rashelle’s communication was excellent with keeping me up to date with photos and sharing how Willy was doing. We will definitely be calling on Rashelle’s services again.”
“We had a great experience with Carman! She took such good care of Button and treated her like their own. We felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend! 🐾❤️”
“Cassie is kind, calm, and unflappable in the face of our two mad, if adorable, Airedales, as well as our own human disorientation and disorganization. We had a one night stay as a trial run for our longer absence and it went really well. We feel confident our dogs will be well cared for while we're on vacation!”
“Paula and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. She took great care of our dog and sent pictures to us throughout the stay, so we could check in and see how everything was going. We would happily recommend her to others! Thanks, Paula!”
“Caleb took good care of our boy Blue. He introduced him to the other dogs but made sure Blue, who is not big on playing with other dogs, had time to himself and felt safe. Caleb messaged daily to let us know things were going well and sent pictures and video. I would choose Caleb as a pet sitter again in the future..”
“Lisa kept us updated with pictures and messages, and was a wonderful host to our dog. As new dog owners, it was reassuring to have someone who has experience with dogs and a welcoming home.”
“We were very happy with our experience with Jenny. She did a great job communicating. From the beginning she was quick to respond and asked lots of questions to make sure she provided the best care for our pup. During his stay she sent detailed updates with pictures. Our dog got along great with her dog and they had a lot of fun playing together. She took good care of our dog while we were away. We would use her again.”
“Julie took great care of Molly for me while I had to go out of town for about a week. Her dog, Gilbert, and cats were good companions, she has a great fenced-in backyard, and she kept me updated with pics and commentary about Molly's stay. Will definitely be back, thanks Julie!”
“Carrie and Craig were awesome to work with. They were great at communicating and our dog came home happy (and tired from the fun!). Would definitely book with them again.”
“Leslie was absolutely fantastic with our Golden Retriever, Stella! Stella is our little princess, and Leslie went above and beyond to accommodate not just her daily needs, but all of her personal preferences. Leaving a pet behind can be tough, but Leslie sent frequent updates showing Stella seamlessly integrating right into her family. Knowing she was getting constant love, affection, and attention, rather than staying in a standard boarding center gave us total peace of mind while traveling. Leslie treated Stella like one of her own, and we couldn't have asked for a better host. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Joanna and Brian did an awesome job with my pup. I appreciated the updates along with pictures they sent me of my dog smokey while I was away. The next time I need a pet sitter I will not hesitate to call on them again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 432 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Viking. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Viking 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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Viking. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
