“Rachel was very communicative while we were away on vacation. She sent us pictures of our furry friend and updates. She had the pool out for the dogs and I felt like she was being well taken care of and it eased my mind while away. My dog came home exhausted! Which tells me she had a lot of play time. Happy with our experience”
“Absolutely the best dog boarding we have had. Very kind, easy to work with, sent us a photo every day, and he came home safe and having been loved on for a few days. Will book again.”
About: My wife and I have been loving pet owners for over 10 years. We have pet sat many times over the years and treat others pets like our own family. We also have a decently sized fenced backyard so dogs can play and roam in a safe area. I am a stay-at-home dad who does some work within my house. I can be home pretty much all day during the week so your Animals will not be left alone for any significant amount of time at all. I have a fenced backyard, 2 dogs, and 2 cats. I have no problem crating a dog if needed or allowing them to sleep in the bed with us. Our dogs sleep on our bed every night and most dogs we pet sit also join us on our bed.
“No words! As per usual, I procrastinated and needed a pet sitter for two large dogs over Christmas. Kylie was able to accommodate them and upon introduction she bonded with them immediately. I would not hesitate a second to board with her again. A++++++ rating!”
“Ashlee was great with my dog, Sariah! She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend, which was much appreciated. We will definitely book her again when we need a sitter.”
“We are so delighted to have found Sunshine! Our pup was walked, snuggled, played with, and loved, as evident from the photos! We could relax and enjoy our trip, knowing he was in her patient, fun, kind hands. We feel so blessed to have found Sunshine and will absolutely use her again! 💛”
“Couldn’t be happier with having Angie sit for our dog, Drake! He was well taken care of and we felt at ease with him in her hands. We can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Laura is the best! She takes great care, follows our dog's needs and provides daily updates and pics. Her labrador Diesel is so sweet and gets along so well with our girl. All our dog's prior overnighters went extremely well! I highly recommend her care. TWeber”
“Rachel is great! She will love yours as her own. Stays updated and sends pics of your fur babies. Sets up a meet and greet which is wonderful so you know you’re in good hands. Definitely recommend and will definitely use her services again!”
“I witnessed why Melissa has so many high reviews!! I almost wonder if my dog even wants to come home with me after being so spoiled! I enjoyed the photos of all the activities she was up to! Thank you!”
“This was our first time using Rover and the first time our dog stayed with a sitter and we had a wonderful experience. Jenifer did an excellent job caring for Ellie and seemed attentive to her needs. It is difficult to leave your pet for a week, but also reassuring to know they are in good hands while you are gone. We will definitely use Jenifer again in the future.”
“I was nervous leaving my boys in someone else's home. From the meet and greet it was obvious that Zach would be a great fit for my boys! He was engaging and they both liked him alot right away. When I dropped them off, they were excited to be there!! Zach was Great with communication, sending a Pic and video answering me quickly. I would definitely recommend Zach!! I will definitely have him watch them again if needed and if he accepted!!”
“Kaitlyn did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies while we were away. Luna has a hard time meeting new people, but she took to Kaitlyn right away, and I can tell that Luna still misses her now that we’re home. Even though our two Labs were not on their best behavior, Kaitlyn handled them patiently and did a wonderful job keeping them calm as best as she could. She also sent daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’re very grateful for Kaitlyn’s care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.”
“I was able to relax while being on my trip knowing my baby was in the best hands ever! She sent tons of pictures and very attentive to my baby. It was his home away from home! He will be back!”
“Megan was fantastic! Tons of pictures, immediate responses while messaging and was flexible on time changes. Already planning to book again with Megan! Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of Moon.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Waterford is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of November 2026, there are 942 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waterford. 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.
93% of sitters in Waterford 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waterford. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
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.
