“Wonderful grassy yard for dogs to romp in. Caring owners who share their house with the dogs. Dogs are well monitored for appropriate play, and get a time out if needed. We received daily photos of our dog enjoying her stay. We will definitely book a stay here again, and also doggie daycare!”
“Felt very comfortable leaving Trunks here. I got daily text updates with photos and sometimes videos. Trunks looked very relaxed and comfortable when I picked him up so I trust he felt safe and at ease. Definitely looking to book again if I'm in the area”
“Amber was absolutely amazing. She took in the boys last minute for the night. She was very communicative, sent photo updates and took care of our boys like her own. She even gave us treats for our cats that she didn’t watch! Highly recommended!”
“Kelly was fantastic with our dog over a long weekend. Kind and caring, she asked great questions during the meet and greet and was very communicative throughout our trip without overwhelming us. We will definitely use her again!”
“Our dog had a great time with Ashley! We were able to meet her ahead of time and everything went perfectly. She was very easy to work with, and we will definitely use her again.”
“Thank you, Suzanne and Dan! It was such a relief to know that Albert was in such good care while we were out of the country. And thank you for taking it up a notch when he was prescribed antibiotics right before our trip. He definitely didn't like those pills and your patience and determination helped keep him medically on track. We were impressed on how dog-friendly your house was and so appreciative that you accommodated his quirkiness by letting him sleep in your bed! Hopefully, his snoring didn't keep you awake! For Albert's first overnight doggie "camp" adventure, we think he had a great time! Thanks, again, for your tender-loving care!”
“Tyler and Emily always take such great care of our fur baby. He always sends photos updates and has always been so reliable. We’ve used Tyler multiple times and appreciate his attentiveness to our dog while we’re away.”
About: I've interacted with dogs since a young age and am very comfortable around all types of animals. I have experience with training puppies (including my own) and have cared for dogs and cats for family friends since I was 13. I work from home and can take your dog on walks once or twice a day with potty breaks every 4-8 hours-- or more if needed! I have experience with reactive dogs and high-energy pups, making exercise no problem for your pet. I have a very friendly 5 year old dog at home that can keep your pet company, but can also separate the pets for doggy day-care options.
About: My name is Chelsea, I’m a lifelong dog lover and a mom of two boys who absolutely adore dogs! We previously had two dogs of our own for over six years, so I understand firsthand just how much love, attention, and responsibility goes into caring for our furry family members. While we’re not currently in a season where we can have dogs of our own, we would absolutely love the opportunity to care for yours! Dog sitting gives us the best of both worlds the joy of having dogs in our lives while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their pups are being loved and cared for. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and my goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping your pup company, I’d love to help make their time away from you a happy experience! 🐶🤍 As a mom of two boys and a business owner, I have a flexible routine that allows me to make time for the pets in my care! I love being able to incorporate walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention into our everyday lives. I also prioritize safe, supervised interactions with my children and always respect each owner’s preferences and instructions. My goal is to provide a loving, dependable environment where your pup feels like part of the family! 🐶🤍
About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a deep love for animals. Growing up with them, I have experience with everything from puppies to senior dogs, kittens and senior cats. I currently care for two large, dogs and two cats. I have plenty of hands on experience with daily walks, grooming, feeding, and playtime. I love having an active companion, like a dog, but I have a special soft spot for cats. Their unique reserved and affectionate personalities make them especially close to my heart. I often help care for neighbors' animals while they’re away, making sure their pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved in their absence. My experience with pet care has taught me the importance of attentive care and excites me to continue working with animals. As I am graduating high school, I’ve had the flexibility to care for my pets, which is something I truly enjoy. I can be attentive to feeding my dogs and cats, refreshing their water. I make time throughout the day for grooming, playtime, and keeping their spaces clean. My favorite activities involve the outdoors, including hiking and I love to bring a four legged buddy along. Even with social plans or family commitments, I always prioritize making sure my pets feel cared for, loved and part of my daily life. As a pet owner, I’m well equipped with plenty of treats, toys, brushes, and food and water dishes. My dogs enjoy a fenced backyard at home, and I often take them to a nearby park for more space to run. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I make sure to spend quality time with them so they don’t feel lonely. I’m also available to stay overnight if needed and can help with light household tasks like watering plants or vacuuming. My goal is always to keep pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their families are away.
“Daniel was friendly, helpful, flexible, and communicated with us promptly & sent lots of pics. Our dog had a great stay & must have felt safe, happy, and loved because he ate well. (Our pup will go off his feed when feeling out of sorts). Plenty of room for fun play inside the house and in the fenced backyard. We will definitely use Daniel for our Rover next time we are in the area.”
“Natalie was the best! She took such great care of my pup and sent me regular updates + cute pics the whole time. He even lost a couple baby teeth while he was with her and she saved them for me 🥹 so sweet. I felt super at ease the whole weekend and would 100% book with her again. Highly recommend!”

My dogs were so happy and well cared for! You can truly tell that she loves what she does. I felt completely at ease knowing my pups were in such good hands. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and updates, which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pets like their own!
Vaughn was great! Took our dogs for walks, sent pictures and updates, and was a super easy drop off and pick up. Very nice guys in a 2 story house. Backyard isn’t fenced but our dogs had/have no issues with running, and like I said he made sure to take them on walks to make sure they were getting enough exercise. Would definitely use him again!

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.
97% of sitters in Appleton 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 Appleton 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 Appleton.
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 Appleton. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Appleton 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 CO 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.
