“Great stay, thanks so much — highly recommended. Our 10-year-old poodle mix looked like she loves the big yard and good company. Came home happy, healthy and tired.”


“Yoki and Derek were absolutely fantastic! Their spacious, fenced-in yard gave my dogs plenty of room to run and played and they clearly had a blast. I received tons of adorable updates and photos that truly put my mind at ease while I was away. Dave and Togo came home completely tuckered out from their little “vacation” - a sue sign they had a great time. It’s obvious Yoki and Derek genuinely care about the dogs they look after, treating them with the same love and attention they give their own pets. I will DEFINITELY be booking with them again, and I’m pretty sure Dave and Togo are already looking forward to their next stay!”


“I had a fantastic experience with Michelle and her family caring for Cinnamon! They asked plenty of questions beforehand and made sure I knew there would be other dogs boarding at the same time, which I really appreciated. They sent me lots of update photos and videos, keeping me in the loop, and were so pleasant to work with. I would choose them again to look after my pup!”


“Joan was very accommodating and sent photos of my babies everyday. They looked super happy and napped very well when they were home. Thanks so much for watching them! :)”


“Emily has become my go-to sitter for my golden retriever! My dog has such a great time at Emily's house with her whole family. Between the walks, trips to the dog park, playing in the house and in the fenced-in yard, and the general attention my dog gets, it's basically like sending her to a really nice camp. Emily is also consistent in sending me updates and photos and very reliable about giving my dog the care she needs. I'll definitely be reaching out to Emily the next time I need a sitter!”


“Kaycee was very helpful at our meet and greet, we hung out in their yard for a bit and she explained their setup and routine. She sent pictures while Ollie was boarded, which is much appreciated, and accommodated Ollie when he needed company overnight.”


“I could not ask for a better care provider for my Maltese Ollie, who has been cared for by only family members until recently! Hope went above and beyond to ensure that Ollie was comfortable while I was away. She invited Ollie and me to her home before committing to caring for Ollie. She was honest in sharing his daily joys and stressors, which was refreshing! She also provided suggestions to improve Ollie's comfort the next time I am away - too awesome!”


“One of the best providers on Rover! Amy is reliable, professional, and we can tell she truly enjoys caring for pets. If our pup could talk we are positive he would be asking us when he can go for another visit!”


“Mary and her family were absolutely wonderful sitters for Grizzy! They took great care of him during a cold snap, making sure he was warm and comfortable. Mary sent wonderful updates and absolutely adorable pictures, and I would recommend her to anyone!”


“I couldn’t reassure anyone more that Sarah is a fantastic dog sitter. It was obvious upon meeting her that she’s a natural with dogs. Prior to dropping my dog Daisy off, and during my vacation, Sarah was a prompt communicator, and always sent me updates and photos. I appreciated that she asked if she could bring Daisy to the dog park (which Daisy definitely prefers, although obviously Sarah wouldn’t do that if you weren’t comfortable with the idea). Daisy also got along so well with Sarah’s dog Pepper, and I honestly really appreciate that Daisy had another playmate. Finally, Sarah had an extra crate, so there’s no need to lug a crate with you if you book her! I’ll definitely be booking her for my future trips!”


“Finny was so happy to be back with his bestie! He was super excited to see Emily too- he gave her a big tail wag which is saved for only his favorites! I got daily play reports and didn’t worry about him one bit while I was traveling out of state. He’s in great hands with Emily and her family.”


“Our dog Levi had the BEST time with Manu! She provided us with many updates and photos. You can tell she really has a passion for caring for animals! We cannot recommend her enough. Until next time!”


“Poppy is so comfortable at Joe’s and gets excited to visit! It’s so reassuring to know she is at ease and well taken care of. Thanks for the extra pictures you sent, Joe!”


“Margaret took excellent care of our new rescue for a 2 day boarding. She was super easy to communicate with and responded quickly, sent regular updates, pictures, and videos, and clearly goes the extra mile to make sure your dog is well cared for. We will 100% be booking with her in the future for any dog sitting needs!”


“Duane and Lauren are always so accommodating and flexible when we book with them! Our pup is always exciting to stay with them and it makes me happy to know she likes to be there! Thank you so much Duane and Lauren for always taking care of Stormi!”



“Brad kept us up-to-date throughout Ollie's stay, including photos, which we very much appreciated. Ollie was happy and healthy when we picked him up from his visit....Thanks Brad!”


“Suellen was available for last minute sitting for our dog. She is extremely caring and attentive. She did a wonderful job keeping him occupied and provided us with lots of updates throughout the weekend. We could tell he really enjoyed his time with her.”


“Emily and her family were so great with Jarvis! They sent plenty of update pictures and he seemed to have an amazing time!! We will definitely be looking to have them take care of Jarvis again :)”


“Kristin and Bruce (and their kids) took amazing care of my dog for the week he was with them! They took him on walks and to school pickup, sent the sweetest photos and helpful updates, and were just incredibly pleasant and helpful throughout. My dog came home happy, tired, and well loved and I am so appreciative for all the effort they put in to make that happen!”

Waunona dog parents share their Rover experiences
Zeppelin and his owners are beyond elated to have found Hannah and her doggies for boarding! From the meet and greet to pickup, we could not have asked for anything better. Hannah is intuitive, patient, kind, and has well trained doggies! She made sure to double check any special needs or requests and was very communicative during Zeppelin's stay. The pictures shared and behavior of our dog during drop off and pickup let us know he felt right at home. Hannah will be top of our list when looking for future care!

We needed a very last minute overnight board for our dog while we were visiting Madison. Taylor was so responsive and sweet right off the bat. Our dog is 13, not used to other people or places, but she spoiled him and made him feel right at home. She provided plenty of updates and pictures over the weekend. We highly recommend Taylor!

Maddie was great! We just moved to Madison ~2 weeks before needing a dog sitter for my dog who is recovering from TPLO surgery. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Maddie so quickly. It can be tough to trust anyone with your pet, but especially so during a sensitive recovery period. Maddie and her boyfriend were very kind in helping me set up his ramp and crate in her home. I received multiple updates of Rem throughout the days, and Maddie was really flexible in terms of his exercise needs/limitations. I very very highly recommend.

Gabby was fantastic!! She took such great care of my Mini Aussie, Biggie Smalls. She was very communicative, sending updates and pictures throughout the day. Biggie loved her so much he ran right to her the second day I dropped him off with her. Clearly a great dog-sitter! I will absolutely book with Gabby again. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my furbaby!
