“Nothing but positive things to say. My dog Letty loved her vacation at Marie and Mark's. Having a very anxious dog, I wasn't sure how'd she'd do, but she quickly warmed up to their family and welcoming home. No question they gave Letty all the love and attention she needed. I greatly appreciated recieving the pictures and updates of how my girl was doing while on my vacation. Great communication :)”

“Talishia did an amazing job with my puppy! My Nova was having an absolute blast in the fenced in yard with Talishia's dog when I went to pick her up, her dog was very sweet about my puppy being a high energy (and a bit chaotic) playmate. Absolutely great experience, I feel like Nova was well cared for and was given plenty of attention :)”

“Beth and Ken were fantastic, wonderful communication, and they both have such calming demeanors, which was so helpful for our nervous girls. They are clearly experienced with animals and have a great sense for dog behavior. Their three dogs are a great little pack and we felt totally safe with them. Would highly recommend and will definitely use their services again!”

“Jackie and her family were so great to meet, they were all there to have the dogs meet each other and my dog who is 4 months went right over and started playing with Brownie. Jackie was very caring, asked all about Penny and her routine ahead of time, once we met and the dogs were playing I didn't worry at all about leaving her. She also sent many updates and pictures, and Penny even went in the dog pool right away. My dog slept for 2 days after coming back home, that is how much playing and fun she had!”

“Jennifer did a great job with our pup. We enjoyed the photos updates. She doesn’t have a fenced yard but she is not anywhere near a main road and had a nice space for him to go out. She also took him for walks often. Our dog was in good spirits when we picked him up. Would highly recommend using her!”

About: 20+ years of experience (that makes me feel old). Unofficial dog sitter for family and friends since high school. Loyal to my fellow dog loving friends sharing word of mouth recommendations, fostered a giant breed and helped find his forever home, loved my first dog for nearly 8 years, and now I would like to fill the void by helping care for your four legged family member. I have experience caring for senior dogs and puppies as well. I work fully remote, so I appreciate the screen breaks. I am able to go out for walks or outdoor time often. After losing my dog this summer, I do miss the quality time and walk routines. We joke that you better love dogs, but it is true. My home is setup to be dog friendly, maybe more rugs for traction on the vinyl plank floors. Animals are part of the family and that is how we treat guest pets as well. Living on 3 acres in the country, so a great space for outdoor activities. I am quite respectful when residing in another’s home and great at following instructions and/or preferred routines.

About: Hi there! I’m a longtime dog lover, mom of three, and an experienced pet sitter who firmly believes dogs are family. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and personalities and genuinely love getting to know each pup’s unique quirks. My home has one friendly dog of our own, so your pup will have a furry friend around. I live in a townhouse with a small yard, but that doesn’t stop us from getting outside. Daily walks, playtime, fresh air, and plenty of couch cuddles are all part of the deal. I’m also comfortable administering medication in pill form when needed. With three kids ages 6–11, patience, flexibility, and a little chaos are basically part of my daily routine. 😉 Most importantly, I’ll treat your pup like one of my own, keep you updated with photos, and make sure they get plenty of love while you’re away. Since I work from home, pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, let them out as needed, and work in walks and playtime around my schedule. I also have flexibility throughout the day for feeding, medication, potty breaks, and extra cuddles. My home is a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where your pup can feel at home while you’re away. I have one friendly dog of my own, and I’m happy to provide a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. Since I work from home, pets get plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I have a small townhouse yard for quick potty breaks, plus daily walks and playtime for exercise and enrichment. I also have a designated quiet space where a dog can take a break when needed, whether that’s behind a baby gate or in their crate—whichever you and your pup are most comfortable with. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding instructions, medication needs, and any special preferences you provide. My goal is simple: a happy, safe pup and a pet parent who feels completely comfortable while they’re away.

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 Wanderoos 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 Wanderoos.

<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 Wanderoos 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.
