“Ellen was wonderful. Not only did she take Winnie on short notice, she made us feel so comfortable leaving Winnie behind. She was a master at easing Winnie in and making her feel at home. She sent us regular updates with photos and video so we could share her experience. Thank you Ellen! Winnie will definitely be back!”
“David did an absolutely wonderful job with watching our Willow. Even with it being a holiday he did except Willow for boarding for 9 days. He even took her to his Grandmas house for Christmas. He sent day by day pics and text messages. Willow made new people friends and doggy friends. I will definitely use David for my boarding needs if ever I need one again. Thank you David Dawn Reeves”
“Katy & DJ are wonderful. They gave lots of updates. Princess was very comfortable with them and had a great time. I would definitely recommend them if you need a reliable and caring family to watch your fur baby.”
“Ruby is seriously the best! It was my first time leaving my puppy with a sitter and she could not have made me feel more comfortable. She kept me updated with constant videos of my pup, and not to mention that every video she sent my dog was smiling ear to ear. She does not only give your dog a fun and amazing experience, but she also takes the time to give them lots of love and care in between. If I could give her 20 stars, I would. 10/10 will be booking with her again.”
“5 stars!! ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 💫 ⭐️ Jessica is amazing! She graciously dealt with our uncertain and hetic schedules. She went over and above, driving to my home to pick my dog up. Even when he was initially bashful/scared, she waited and took extra time. Gave him extra love and care, car rides, treats, and nap time together. I felt he was safe, content, and at ease while in Jessica’s home. We will definitely be hiring her again!!”
“Heather was communicative and very accommodating, even making the time to pick up our Teddy from our wedding venue after his role in the wedding. Teddy had a great time and was so happy to stay with her!”
“We just completed our dogs 3rd stay at Sarah and Zach's house and we already have stay #4 booked. Our always have so much fun and get lots of outdoor playtime. We love the photo and video updates and especially enjoy knowing they are being so well cared for while we are away.”
“Scott, Ashley and family take such good care of our 92 lb. Weimaraner, Hank. He has a lot of energy and always does well when with the family. He gets at least 2 walks a day in addition to play time in their large fenced in yard. Hank recently stayed with the family for 25 days which is the longest we’ve left him with any sitter. Everything went very well. Scott is great about sending pictures and updates daily.”

“Jennifer was amazing from start to Finish. It was my first time leaving my puppy and she put me right at ease and I felt very confident that he was in good hands. Jax had a great time, lots of walks and attention and I was sent regular updates and photos. I would highly recommend Jennifer and I know Jax can't wait to go back and stay.”
“It was just an overnight visit but the puppies are still exhausted! They’re must’ve had a great time 🥰. Cheryl kept in touch with verifying meds and letting me know they we’re doing great🥰🥰🥰thank you again!”
“Mikaela & Shane cared for my Colby Jack for a week and were wonderful. I received daily updates and everything was very positive. Colby was very well cared for and was very happy. I had to extend the visit because I was delayed returning from my trip and they kept him for 2 additional days. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them in the future.”
“Micah was so great with our pup. She kept us informed everyday on how she was doing and sent us pics and videos! She kept her active as well which is really great for our dog. This made our vacation much more enjoyable knowing she was given a bunch of love and attention!”
“Our dog simba had a great stay with Amanda and her family. We loved getting updates and pictures of how he’s doing. Definitely will be using her again next time we’re away. Thank you!”
“Marie is a rock star-we had another exceptional experience with our senior dog staying with Marie and family. Marie kept us updated through two blizzards, a deep freeze and power losses and we knew Lucy was in capable and caring hands throughout. Lucy really enjoys her time with Marie. Thank you!”
“Alex took such great care of Banksy. She was able to accommodate a bit of a last minute booking after our other arrangements fell through. If we lived near Oconomowoc, Alex would be a repeat sitter for Banksy! He had a blast, and we received photos and updates throughout his stay!”
“Sara was great with our dog. From the initial "meet & greet" to the actual stay, she made us and our dog feel comfortable. She was quick to respond to questions, and provided regular updates throughout the stay. Would highly recommend using her again.”

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.
94% of Watertown 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 Watertown 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 Watertown 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 Watertown.
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 Watertown 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.
