“Katy and DJ were great. I could tell our pups were in good hands and getting a lot of love while we were away. The daily updates and pictures were a great bonus.”
“My dog absolutely loves Kandice. She was amazing. She’s had my dog for boarding for 3 weeks and I’ve been able to pick my dog up and play with her and drop her back off after. Very accommodating and loves and cares for my dog like her own!”
“Jenifer is amazing! I’d never used Rover before, or had my pup stay with anyone other than my close friend. Since we were getting married, we needed to find a sitter for a couple nights and after seeing the very many good reviews about Jenifer, I thought I’d give it a shot and I’m so glad we did! She obviously loves dogs- dropping our pup off was easy since she had 2 huge baskets of toys for her to get excited over! She sent us pictures of our pup every day and was altogether reassuring and great. I’d do it again in a heartbeat- it’s so nice to know we have someone nearby we can trust with our baby!”
“Everything was great and happy they took good care of Nia! I appreciated receiving daily photos/videos. Will definitely use them in the future.”

“Angie was absolutely amazing! She took us on last min as another family cancelled very last min. Angie stayed in constant communication and had everything we could have possibly needed for Bentley if his allergies acted up or he didn't want to eat if he has separation anxiety. We will definitely being contacting Angie again for future vacations. She def kept my mind at ease with him being there!”

“Tracy is great! Good communication and pics throughout the stay. Juniper seemed to enjoy his time with his new dog friends. Super convenient, reasonable price and easy to book. I appreciate having my dog as a part of a family vs. a pet daycare or corporate pet boarding. My dog appreciates the kind of attention that he gets with Tracy. Definitely recommend!”
“Nikki was wonderful! My dog loved her and had the best stay! She was so kind, helpful in answering my questions as a first time Rover user, attentive, and again my dog loved her! Thanks again and we will book again whenever we need to!”
“This was the first time booking with Doreen. I assisted my elderly mom with the booking for her dog since my mom is unfamiliar with using apps on her phone. Doreen was extremely accommodating, communicative and flexible. Flossie is not often away from my mom, and I felt comfortable that Doreen was the right choice and that Flossie would be in kind and attentive care. Doreen sent a picture and comment via text each night which made my mom comfortable. Thank you, Doreen for working with us!”
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for cats and have experience with both puppies and adult dogs. I previously owned a Border Collie, giving me firsthand knowledge of the exercise, attention, and training that active breeds need. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I provide a safe, clean, and caring environment where pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I understand that every pet has unique routines and needs, and I always follow owners’ instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and at home. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I’m home for most of the day. Dogs will receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. If I need to leave the house, it’s usually for no more than about three hours, and there is typically someone else at home to supervise and make sure your dog is safe and comfortable. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel relaxed and at home during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a spacious home with plenty of room for dogs to relax and play indoors. There is also a large front and back yard for exercise and fresh air. While the yard is not fenced, dogs will always be kept on a leash or under close supervision when outside. I carefully follow each owner’s care instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications if needed, and any special requirements, to help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home.
“She was very nice. She responded very fast and sent lots of pictures. She gave updates everyday and let me know how everything was going. Would definitely book with her again”
“When you see all these reviews of Angela and think “there’s no way that can be true”. Trust me it is true. Angela was so amazing with my dog. This is our first time leaving her for this long and I could not have felt like she was in better hands. not only did I get enough picture updates, Angela was so kind and amazing to work with. her husband and her two kids were just all amazing people. Matter of fact, when I came to pick up my dog, I already asked her about future days so I would need a sitter for. If you’re wondering about a sitter who will keep your baby safe at home and who’s just a wonderful, genuine person, look no further than Angela.”
“Brian and Mary took great care of Rosey, as always! I feel so comfortable leaving her with them and appreciate all of the photos while we’re away! Thank you!!!!”
“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.”
“Jayme took great care of our Goldendoodle while we were on vacation for a week. When we returned home, he was happy and content! Jayme does well with all types of dogs. We’d definitely go with her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waukesha
We booked for Kandice to take care of our dog Nix for nearly three weeks as we traveled internationally for our wedding and honeymoon. She had exceptional communication and sent us so many pictures and videos of our dog which made us feel so comforted and reassured as this was the longest we’d been away from her! It’s clear that Nix was relaxed with her and that she was well taken care of. I would recommend Kandice to anyone, and plan to book with her again for any of our future needs!
Lauren is the best! She took care of Winter really well. I received updates from her and did not have to worry at all while we were on vacation. She was so kind and flexible to to have Winter stay one more night with her. Thank you so much Lauren Koda and Noah. ❤️
Remy was so happy to stay when Dana and her Pugs. She had such a great time playing with the other dogs. When I picked her up, she was extremely excited and was well taken care of. Dana is an absolute joy. She sent pictures and updates every day while I was away. I was able to enjoy my vacation and not have to worry about my baby. We will definitely book Dana again.

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 Waukesha 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 Waukesha.
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 Waukesha 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.
