“This was our first time leaving our puppy and it was a great experience. Emily communicated daily with us and sent photo updates. We will certainly use Emily and her family whenever we need a dog sitter. Thank you again Emily!”


“My pup loves being sat by Daniel and all the other dogs. He eats well, plays safe and always has a good time. My pup returns home very restful and happy, I can tell he enjoys staying with Daniel. They provide a great sense of a home away from home for my pup.”


About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 9 years old. I LOVE dogs--especially small ones! I have trained all of my dogs. I board friends' dogs in my home all the time, and am now excited to move into boarding strangers' dogs here on Rover! I work full-time, a mix of in-office and at home. I work from home on Thursdays and have flexibility on Fridays, so it works best for me to be able to provide boarding on long weekends (Thursday-Sunday). I am happy to provide your pet with seamless care and match what they are used to in your home. I have a large yard and a quiet neighborhood. My home has many rooms and I have some gates so that I can separate pets if needed. I also have a puppy play pen for smaller/younger pups who need their own space.

“She was so adaptable and flexible, yet kind. We had a last minute adventure and needed pup care and she helped out! She was so good with our two dogs that unfortunately got into some cookies before arriving and she made it work. We are FURever grateful 🐾”

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.
“Gabriel did such a nice job keeping my 12 week old puppy overnight. His dog Mel and my puppy got along great. I will definitely book Gabriel again. Thank you Gabriel and Mel!”

“This was our second stay with Terri. We are very happy with the way she cares for our sweet Lucy! Terri is a very nice person and it’s easy to tell that she loves dogs. You won’t have to worry about your pet, they’re in good hands with Terri!”

“Julia and Colin were great! They communicated well and even met Toast before boarding! We received a lot of pictures where our dog was smiling and having a good time with them. We will definitely book again!”

“Ms. Monique gave Ned an incredible vacation while we were away! His stay was exactly what we were looking for: a loving home away from home. Monique was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, has a great way with animals, and the perfect setup both inside and out. Monique was incredibly responsive and we so enjoyed the updates while we were away :) Ned is already counting down the ways until our next trip back, thank you again!”

“Evita was great with Togepi, she was on her own little vacation while I was away. I could tell Togepi was well taken care of and Evita would make sure to communicate and send me updates when I started to miss my pup. 10/10, would book again!”

“Jasmine did a lovely job with our very senior pup. Despite the relatively late booking for the holiday period and difficult logistics for drop off/pick up, she was very polite and helpful with our dog!”
“Karen, Toy and family were very sweet with my old neurotic hound dog for a weekend stay while I had to work. Picture updates, lots of treats and she didn't even seem to be desperate to go back home (like she usually is) after her stay. Very grateful for the help and great experience!”
“Charlie had a great first stay with Kristi. He warmed up to her very quickly. She is experienced in giving senior dogs their many medications. Kristi provided lots of updates with pictures.”

“Kristy took such wonderful care of our shy boy and had him running and playing from day 1! We loved receiving tons of photos of our happy boy. We will 100% book with Kristy again!”

“Andrew and Taylor were amazing with Ella! They gave us thorough updates, asked great questions, and gave Ella lots of love! We felt confident and at ease knowing Ella was in great hands. We would definitely re-book again!”

“Great experience working with Yshonda. It seems like my dog Scout really enjoyed staying with her. She did a very good job of keeping me updated while I was away on vacation, providing videos of scout interacting with the other dogs, and she was also very flexible with pick up and drop off. I would highly recommend her services!”

“Angela was a fabulous sitter - we will definitely leave our dogs in her care in the future. She was eager to meet them in advance of watching them and flexible with that timing. She was also willing to work around some logistics with a family member dropping off our dogs at her place, which was very helpful. While we were gone, she was communicative and sent photos. We appreciated receiving her updates. We were were very pleased to come home to happy dogs. I highly recommend Angela!”
“Brooke and Robbie are AMAZING!! They are both so kind, friendly, and clearly very big animal lovers. I was a little nervous to leave Brodie with someone new, but my worries went away immediately after meeting them, as well as their super sweet dog Moxie. Brooke was very responsive to messages, sent me really sweet pics and updates while I was away, and was more than flexible with my schedule as far as drop off/pick up went. I could tell Brodie had a great stay and was sad to leave his new friends! 5 star experience all around, and so excited that I’ve found our new go-to dog sitters :)”

“Cole did a great job watching my dog for the weekend! I got tons of pictures and videos of her running around and having a great time with his dog. He was responsive and very flexible with pick up and drop off times”

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.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
