“We recently left our 5-year-old Golden with Nikki for a week, and she did an absolutely incredible job! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. This was our first time leaving him with someone outside of close family friends, and he had a wonderful experience. I would 100% trust Nikki with him again in the future! Throughout his stay, Nikki sent multiple updates and photos each day, which was so thoughtful and very much appreciated. Basil loved spending time outside in the fenced-in backyard and had a blast snuggling and playing with Nikki’s kids. Thank you so much, Nikki, for taking such amazing care of our boy!”
“Gabriel took excellent care of my dog while I was away. I appreciated being updated with frequent pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend Gabriel and I would definitely have him watch my dog again.”
“Angela was absolutely amazing! I received multiple pictures a day of my dog enjoying spending time with her pups and family. She was treated her as if she was a part of the family. In fact, when I went to pick her up she didn’t want to leave ha! I would most definitely book Angela again in a heart beat. -Allie”
“Dan watched my 2 cats for about a week and a half while we were out on vacation. They both returned home happy and well cared for. I was a bit worried about boarding them in a dog household, but they had their own area upstairs to hide in whenever they wanted. Dan and his wife were both super nice and well versed in pet care.”
“Took my dog to Marilyn for the first time this past weekend. She sent pics and videos!! When I picked him up, he sat by her and almost didn’t want to leave? That’s how I know... he was happy being there!!”
“Booking with Marie was a breeze! We had a quick chat to iron out the details, and I felt totally at ease leaving Gandalf in her care for our extended getaway. Throughout his stay, Marie sent us a few check-ins and adorable pics—Gandalf looked like he was living his best life! When we went to pick him up, it was clear just how much he loved his time with Marie—he didn’t even want to leave at first! He came home happy, tired, and slid right back into our routine, which speaks volumes about how comfortable he felt with her. Huge thanks to Marie for taking such great care of our little pooch!”
“Kim has been so flexible and available for us. We've had to use her at the last minute a few times, plus we have 2 dogs, and she has accommodated the requests graciously. I love that she sends updates and pictures or videos when they are in her care. They get the love and attention and exercise they need when with Kim.”
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.
“Evita was great with my pups. She was super welcoming and her home was perfect for my dogs. They really enjoyed her backyard and all the playtime. Thank you!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We had last minute work done in our house where the cats had to be gone. Aidan and Dani were amazingly patient with our four cats who have quite unique personalities.”
“Alisha was great with my two pugs last weekend. She was very understanding of my quirky older dog's needs. Her boxer is so friendly and a wonderful playmate or pillow for doggy guests!”
“Our puppy had a great first time with Doreen. She sent daily updates and photos to keep us up to date with how he was doing. We felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with Doreen for the weekend”
“Kristine was amazing! Super flexible, sent pictures every day and even celebrated our dog Theo's birthday while we were away. Highly recommend and will be a returning customer!”
“My pup developed diarrhea and a bloody stool the day I would be traveling. Her vet was able to diagnose that it was just stomach irritation and nothing contagious. She was still prescribed several things. Despite the last minute inconvenience Michelle was very communicative and accommodating. Throughout my dog’s stay Michelle kept me up to date about how my dog was doing and let me know that she was feeling better! In my time of using rover Michelle has been Lola’s favorite boarder and daycare host yet!”
“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”
“Mary was amazing! She made us feel so comfortable leaving turbo with her! She got back to us so quickly and kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout turbos stay. We appreciate the care you provided and are so thankful for your hospitality. Thank you for everything 🩷 🐾 turbo was exhausted when he came home.”
“Sherry is reliable, caring, and trustworthy. Finley bonded immediately with her. We enjoyed the pictures and video while we were away! We will most definitely book again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wauwatosa
We started with a meet n greet a week before Reptar’s first solo stay with Evita and it went really well. The fenced-in backyard is always a perk so he can be off leash and outside. During the overnight stay, Evita sent a check-in with photos to let me know how he was doing. She has also been quick to respond (we have a few more drop offs coming up)!
Tracy was really amazing with my dog Lady. She sent plenty of pictures and videos showing Lady having a great time while in her care. Tracy went above and beyond and accommodated a last minute extension and kept Lady two extra days for me. I would definitely book with Tracy again.
Stephan was absolutely incredible! His communication was great, he gave us updates, and Finn seemed to have a wonderful time. We absolutely recommend Stephan and his services to any and every pet owner. We will certainly be using his amazing services again. Thanks again, Stephan!
Amy was absolutely amazing with Rylo! ❤️ I’m so thankful we were able to do a meet-and-greet with Annalise and Rylo beforehand because they played so well together. Rylo can be overly hyper at times, but Amy and her family did such a great job with him and kept me updated throughout his five-day stay. I really appreciated being able to arrange an early drop-off since I had an early flight the next morning. This was my first time ever having someone watch Rylo, so I was a little nervous, but Amy made me feel so comfortable knowing he was in safe hands. She kept me updated while I was away, and it was such a relief knowing he was happy and doing well. Amy and her family truly did an amazing job taking care of Rylo. I’m so thankful for them and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 🐾❤️

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
