“Linda was amazing! She was able to accommodate my dog very last minute, which I truly appreciated. She was very kind and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout her stay. She took her on multiple walks each day and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, and Linda made the experience so much easier than I expected. I could tell that she genuinely cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I’m very grateful for the care she provided and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their dog!”
“Kim is the BEST dog sitter....period. My dog, Georgia, gets to take lots of walks, play in the fenced yard, and spend quality time on the couch with Kim's dog, but the biggest thing for me is that I TRUST that she is safe and cared for so that I can go away and enjoy myself without worrying about her. THANK YOU, KIM!”

“I’m still fairly new to Rover, and it was truly a pleasure having Karlee watch my Shorkie while I was out of town. She sent updates whenever I requested them and gave my dog a new opportunity to be around a cat, which I really appreciated. What stood out most was how well Karlee was able to understand my dog’s personality. It showed that she genuinely took the time to get to know her and accommodate her individual needs. I truly appreciate the care she provided, would absolutely recommend her, and would definitely request her 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!”
“Tuo was fantastic! Even my picky, spoiled dog, Pumpkin, loved him. He was incredibly patient, understanding, and flexible, always accommodating our needs. I felt completely at ease on my business trip, thanks to the frequent updates and pictures he sent. It was clear that Tuo genuinely cares about animals, and he went above and beyond to make sure Pumpkin was happy and comfortable.”
“Charlie had a very fun time at MJ's place! There were a few other dogs for Charlie to play with during her little vacation and MJ kept me updated on how she was doing and sent me several pictures as well! I'm very glad I found MJ and would recommend him if you're looking for a loving home for your pup to stay at!”
“Genevieve is an absolute DREAM dogsitter. We booked her to watch our older dog at her place while we traveled. She was perfectly suited for this type of booking on all levels. Super communicative, responsive, & kind. She kept our pup active and took her on some fun excursions! 10/10!”
“Max and his girlfriend took great care of my pup!! She loved having other dogs to play with. Max has a wonderful personality and vibe. He is very compassionate and you can tell has a spot in his heart for dogs. My pup had a ton of time playing outside, took walks and had a park adventure. Max is accommodating and was happy go alloys my pup to relax on the furniture and most importantly sleep/snuggle up in bed at night. Would HIGHLY recommend anyone to Max gor dog sitting.”

About: Hi! I’m Kylie. I’m a work from home dog mom that loves taking walks during the day and throwing a toy in the backyard as a nice step away from my desk. I have a 4 year old male golden retriever who loves to sleep, play with other dogs, go on walks and chill in his pool. Working from home is a huge benefit, but I also want to care for other dogs during the day while their parents need to be in office or away for the day. I will treat them as my own! I work from home and need those walking breaks for mental clarity. I also toss the ball for my dog when I need fresh air and time with my pup. I am blocked all weekends but please message me as I may be available! I have a fully fenced in back yard, 1 friendly golden retriever and 2 indoor cats. 1 cat will hide during the day, the other is super friendly and lays by my feet. They are both around dogs constantly.
“Nikki and her family were amazing with my dog Sweet Potato! He was well looked after and Nikki sent me plenty of sweet updates. Sweet Potato came home one happy pup. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ethan and Sara were amazing! They took fantastic care of our dog, Auggie. A super responsive, thoughtful, and caring couple. They kept us updated while we were on our trip, asked great questions, and kept Auggie exercised (his favorite thing to do), happy, and comfortable. Would recommend 🌟 and look forward to another opportunity to have them dogsit for us!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Whitefish Bay
My anxious dog settled in beautifully with Frank and his two little dogs, allowing me to enjoy a worry-free two week vacation. Frank sent updates with photos which greatly reassured me that all was going even better than hoped. Honey clearly enjoyed a relaxing time with Frank in his home and made new friends with his dogs. I highly recommend Frank and would not hesitate to rebook with him!
Katie and her lovely family took fabulous care of our Cavi, Marley while we were out of town for 10 days. He obviously got lots of snuggles, attention and playtime wile in their care. We’re just glad Marley didn’t want to stay with them rather than us when we returned 🤞! We will definitely be calling them for future boarding needs!
Mika is awesome. She is trustworthy and skilled in relating to my dog who was immediately comfortable at our meet and greet. Mika sent pictures during my trip and reassured me that everything was cool. I am so glad we connected and I will be reaching out to her again without a doubt.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Whitefish Bay can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Whitefish Bay 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 Whitefish Bay.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whitefish Bay. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Whitefish Bay 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
