“Vivian was the perfect match for our dogs/fish sitting needs! We've been looking for quite some time to find someone that we felt comfortable with! And our Leila loved her! We'll definitely be asking her back!”
“I cannot say praise Ariel enough! She was absolutely amazing! Both of my fur babies immediately took to her and she was so good with them! One is an elderly fur baby who can’t really see, the other is a spunky 5 year old YorkiePoo.. she handled both with such care! I got photos twice a day and I loved it! She showed my babies living their best vacation life and gave me the precious gift of knowing they were being taken care of! She went up and above what I asked and I cannot recommend her enough! Will definitely book with her again!”
“Robbie was fantastic!! He was very communicative and arrived on time. We have three dogs with very different temperaments and personalities that can be a handful but he managed them with no issues. He also left our home and yard clean and tidy, which is really nice and above and beyond expectations. We will definitely be using him for future stays!”
“Aubrey is phenomenal and so kind. She responded to our vacation problems when our pup couldn’t calm down in our VrBO - she worked with me to figure out the best path for our dog and then showed her so much love. THANK YOU AUBREY!”
“Eleshia was great! She took great care of my two dogs, and kitty. She sent pictures everyday and kept me posted on how they were. Left my home very clean. I will use her again.”
“Our experience with Amelia was excellent. She took such great care of our pets and paid attention to every detail. She was very responsive and sent us plenty of pictures of our pets. She took great care of our house too. I would definitely recommend Amelia as a pet sitter/house sitter and will rebook with her again.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and trained vet tech with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, and both saltwater and freshwater fish. As a mother of three and the proud owner of 5 cats and 2 dogs, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I bring patience, reliability, and a calm, compassionate approach to every visit. I specialize in drop-ins and overnight care in your home, helping pets stay comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m also available for holiday pet care, so families can travel with peace of mind knowing their pets are being loved and cared for like my own. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I’m available in the mornings, evenings, weekends, and for overnight stays, which lets me give pets consistent attention and companionship. Whether it’s a walk to start the day or a cozy check‑in at night, I make pet care a natural part of my routine. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own home. I follow their normal schedule, meals, walks, medication, playtime, and quiet time, so everything feels familiar and stress‑free for them. I’m attentive to safety, always checking doors, gates, and surroundings, and I keep their space clean and calm. When I stay overnight, I make sure they have steady companionship and a peaceful environment. I also send regular updates and photos so owners always feel connected and confident while they’re away.
About: I’ve trained and cared for pets of all kinds for much of my adult life. I especially enjoy the challenges: rescues. Strong breeds. Medical support and special needs. I’ll care for your pet as they were my own. I work early on weekdays, giving me time to walk and play with your dog on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Much fun will be had so you can enjoy your day away. At this time, I am focused on care in your home or outside. I will play, feed, walk, or even train simple things. When you need to take a weekend day away, you can be sure to come home to a tired pet.
“Ally did a great job staying with our two big pups! We received updates throughout and felt really comfortable with her staying in our home. We walked into a clean house and happy dogs, we would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I grew up with several dogs growing up. Now I have my own best friend who’s a lab mix. I enjoy walking dogs and caring for them! They make me happy! It would be a privilege to care for your dog or cat while you’re away from home. I’m currently self employed and work part time. This gives me flexibility in caring for your pet. When I care for your pet my life will revolve around their needs and schedule. I want you to rest assured that your pet will be loved and cared for when you’re away. I will follow your rules and guidelines for your pet. Each home and pet needs vary. I’m here to give trusted love and support for your pet while you’re away.
“Stacy loved on our animals, sent updates, and was easy to work and communicate with. Our pup needs oral medication, which was no problem for her! She was flexible with our pet's feeding schedules and needs.”
“Camryn is great! My dog has a terminal illness - it’s super hard for me to leave her and harder still for the person who cares for her. Civvy has special diet requirements, daily medications and eye drops. It’s a lot of care. Camryn came in without hesitation and took over with confidence. Because Camryn works full time I had set up a team of care givers so Civvy wasn’t left alone for too long. Camryn was flexible and accommodating. She maintained communication with the ‘team’ and helped organize visits - my neighbors loved her! I recommend her completely and if she’s available and willing I would book her again in a second.”

About: I have 3 dogs of my own of various sizes and 2 cats. I love taking care of pets and have experience pet sitting and volunteering at the animal shelter. I currently work full time remotely so I can be flexible with drop ins, walks, and house sitting if I am able to work in your home or commute back and forth! I am comfortable with different settings and multiple pets! I have the most experience with cats and dogs, however I can to care for other pets as well, if shown!
About: I’ve taken care of my pets since I was young, so about 12 years old. I’ve had dogs and cats, and currently have two cats and one dog, she’s a chocolate lab-pit mix that we rescued off the street. I’ve also pet-sitted for my friends and family whenever they needed and was able to take them on regular walks and check ins. I’m currently a college student so I’ll have plenty of time to take your pets on walks or just simply check in if needed! I live in a dorm, so I am unable to keep pets with me but I would be more than happy to swing by or stay if needed! At my home back in Arkansas, we had a fence with a natural backyard so our dogs were able to play outside whenever they wanted.
“Hannah is a great dog/house sitter. Very reliable and always on time. Texted pictures of Perry on arrival, good walks every day, he seemed very happy and well cared for. The house was perfectly clean. Will deffinatly hire her again.”
“Sharon is amazing! We brought our 2 girls to stay with her while we were gone for 6 days and I was so nervous at first because we’ve never done anything like that in the 7 years that we’ve had our dogs. We got to meet Sharon before and her house is so accommodating for overnight and extended stays and she herself was so kind and sweet Sammy and Maisy took to her instantly. While we were gone she sent a video of them and also text messages reassuring us that the girls were safe, happy and being well taken care of. My husband and I got home from our vacation today and the girls never looked happier. It is so comforting to know that we have someone that we can rely on to take care of them the next time we leave town. Highly recommended!!!!! Thank you again Sharon!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Appleton is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Appleton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Appleton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Appleton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
