“Scott and Ashley took great care of our dog! They communicated well and made sure he was well taken care of with walks and play time. They clearly genuinely cared about him. We would definitely book with them again in the future.”
“Our dog came home a tired and happy dog. The pictures and updates were appreciated, and made me more comfortable knowing that our dog was having a good time. We would book again at Deanne's house.”
“Joanne was absolutely wonderful with our dog, she was very responsive to our request, accommodating to our time windows, and kept in communication with us the entire time we were gone. She was so loving and welcoming to our dog that he didn’t even want to come home! Highly recommended!”
“Rachel was so amazing to our pup Ryder! She sent us great updates and gave us peace of mind that our boy was left in good hands. He was so loved and spoiled. We will definitely be using Rachel again in the future!”
“My baby boi loves going to see Tony's family and has been several times. What I love is that Thompson gets excited when we pull up as he wants to go play with his friends. I'll continue to rebook and only great things to say!”
“Hannah was absolute perfection with Murphy over the weekend! Right from the start, her communication was fantastic—she kept us updated with regular check-ins, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. I felt 100% confident and safe leaving Murphy in her care, knowing he was receiving so much attention and love. He came home happy and well-cared for. We will definitely be reaching out to Hannah again for our next trip!”
“Great place to stay! We left our dog while we were on vacation for about 5 days and when we picked him up he had his nails trimmed and was given a bath. We got a updated with pictures/videos at least once a day and we could tell that he was exercised and happy!”
“Kim was awesome! She sent us so many pictures and updates throughout our dogs stay I felt so reassured that he was happy and having a good time! We will definitely be using Kim again and I would highly recommend her to anyone with a first time dog stay or even one who’s done lots before!”
“We are SO HAPPY with the care and TLC our mini golden doodle has received while we’re away!! Thank you again, Maria for the wonderful daily updates and pictures. We will definitely book again! ❤️”
“Ashley and family once again made Rocco feel at home. He was spoiled with attention, and always looked happy in the regular pictures we received. Rocco tends to be anxious, but always seems comfortable in Ashley’s home.”
“Laura did amazing with Romeo, she updated us everyday on how he was doing and was very responsive. Romeo was in very good hands. We would definitely use her again!”
“Marble absolutely loved her week of vacation with Christina! Christina was very communicative throughout the entire process, from our initial search for a sitter to our changing ETA on our way to pick her up. We’ll definitely be booking with her again if we’re out of town. Thank you Christina! 🐶”
“Kam was totally awesome. Mango seemed right at home with her, her family and her pets. She sent multiple pictures everyday assuring us that Mango was happy and content. I would use her again in a heartbeat if ever I find myself in Milwaukee again”
“We searched high and low for the right place and people to care for our dog Stella, and we could not be more grateful to have found Carol and Steve. Carol and Steve were ideal people with whom we could safely leave Stella. They have an incredibly well-maintained (and absolutely gorgeous) property of which the backyard is completely fenced in, which gave Stella plenty of time and space to run around and sniff to her heart's content. My husband and I were certain while we were gone that Stella was getting as much exercise and outdoor time as she wanted. This was a wonderful reassurance as we had never boarded her anywhere else before and were nervous that she'd have to be stuck in a kennel or a room for most of our absence. Not so once we found this wonderful couple! Carol and Steve followed our instructions for Stella to the letter and it was clear they were both very comfortable and at ease taking care of our dog. No issues whatsoever and we have absolutely nothing but positive things to say about our experience with them. Possibly the BEST part about having booked with Carol and Steve is their impeccable communication. We never - at any point - had to wait long for a response, whether we were asking a question or just communicating logistics regarding Stella's stay. They also made sure to send along regular update messages with pictures while we were gone, typically twice a day. This factor alone made this the most relaxing trip we've taken as a family to date. It gave us complete peace of mind to read and see that Stella was not only doing okay, but was being well taken care of, snuggled, loved, played with, and included as a part of their home. What a treat to find people who will care of your pet the way that you would yourself. We can't recommend Carol and Steve highly enough. Do yourself a favor and hire them. They're exceptional!”
“Kim is awesome! Our 12 week old puppy, Coconut had a blast with Kim and her pups. Coconut can be a bit shy and nervous in new situations, but Kim helped her come out of her shell and made Coconut feel comfortable in her home. We appreciate the amazing care for our puppy!”
“Shyla is the best! So attentive and knowledgeable about cats. She kept us informed about any behavior she felt might be out of the ordinary, and sent photos and videos periodically so that we could see how he was doing. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about Calvin- We knew he was in good hands!”
“Stacey and family took great care of my Ollie dog. Sent photos and updates daily and were very accommodating on drop off and pickup times. Will definitely book again.”

Megan is wonderful!!!!! We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog,! We were amazed by her kindness, creativity, and patience in helping our dog feel safe, loved, and brave. Megan sent lots of photos and updates about how the visit was going, which made us feel much better. This was the first time we left our dog with a sitter and it turned out beautifully! Megan knew how to make our fearful pup feel relaxed and at home. She is so good with dogs! We feel so lucky to have found her! She was excellent!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Waterford on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 997 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waterford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
88% of Waterford sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Waterford landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Waterford 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 Waterford.
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 Waterford 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.
