“Excellent and attentive care to our home and our animals! She was a 10/10 sitter. Will definitely reach out to her the next time we are out of town! We are so happy with our experience. :)”
About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!
About: I’ve had a love for animals since I was little. Growing up, I spent time on my uncle’s farm, helping care for everything from dogs and cats to larger animals. For the past two years, I’ve regularly pet sat for friends and family—feeding pets, letting them out, talking them on walks, giving them plenty of love and attention, and often staying overnight to keep them company. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. My schedule is different every week, some weeks with less time than others. My weekends are usually free with plenty of time to come and take care of your pets. I make sure to take note of all things that the pet owner has told me, keeping everything in mind. I like to keep in contact with the owner to make sure they know their pet is in good hands.
“Ashely was incredible!!! She gave great updates and was very easy to communicate with. My dog loved her! She also took fantastic care of my apartment while I was gone. I will for sure be booking with Ashley again! Thanks for everything Ashley!!!”
“Corrinn was the best dogsitter! We needed someone for 9 days while traveling to California without kids and had our sitter fall through. She made it easy to pivot and was highly communicative throughout the entire process. Our pup was so happy to have her company and we loved the check ins knowing that our dog was in good hands. Would highly recommend!!”
“Christina was amazing with my very difficult dog. She was so patient and he has decided to love her. Christina's communication was great and I felt very confident leaving my babies with her. We will definitely be rebooking.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and ducks for family and friends when they needed someone. I’m very comfortable doing longer periods of time if needed, I love playing with animals on top of just the necessities! I’m currently working part-time and I’m able to schedule around certain times as needed. In the fall I start college again with plenty of break times! I prefer to stay where the animals are used to. I communicate constantly while I’m watching someone else animals by sending pictures, videos, and regular updates.
“Arianna was great with our two boys and was super helpful in setting up the house sitting appointment. She sent plenty of updates and pictures of our boys during the trip and kept everything under control around the house. Even our normally standoffish schnauzer warmed up to her by the end of her time! Would definitely recommend Arianna for your pet sitting or any other pet help needs.”
“Eva was amazing with our dog Lola. Took her on walks, kept to her schedule, and gave her lots of love and belly rubs. She sent us daily pictures and let us know how things were going. We could not have asked for a better sitter and she definitely is a dog lover. Lola was sorry to see her go.”
“Kathy has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have two dogs, a senior Vizsla and young Boston Terrier. I hired Kathy to pet sit for three days, several hours each day. Kathy went above and beyond to make my pets feel comfortable! She engaged with them, sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how they were doing. She also had great communication prior to the booking. I will definitely hire Kathy again.”
“Brittany is the best! This is the 2nd time I've used her when I travel abroad for over 2 weeks. All three of my dogs (all on multiple meds, 2 in diapers, 2 elderly, 1 special diet, 4x day need to go out) get all the care, attention, play and love they need. She communicates well without being intrusive, sends me pictures, and alerts me if anything is going on of concern with the house. It's difficult to put a price on the peace of mind I have when she is holding down the fort so I can enjoy my respite away. I will continue to use Brittany. I encourage you to book her for your next vacation.”
“Maeve is great with our dog and has kept our home in beautiful condition. She is responsible and a very good communicator-she always keeps you in the loop. I highly recommend Maeve!”
“Jamie is awesome! She took such great care of our dog and cat while we were away for a few days. I appreciated all of the photos and videos she sent us and I could tell our pets were so well taken care of. I will definitely be asking Jamie to watch the pets again and cannot recommend her enough!”
“She did wonder with my senior dachshund. This was my first time using Rover to find a sitter for my Dixie. I wanted someone to stay at the house with her and Kayla did great!! I will definitely use her again if she will have me!”
“Selena was great with Zoey. She had great communication and sent photos throughout her stay which really helped us feel reassured that she was being taken great care of. We’d definitely use selena again and highly recommend her.”
About: From cuddly cats to energetic dogs, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to give your pets consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I plan my schedule with flexibility, making time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins so your pets never feel rushed or overlooked. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, or evening care, I’m committed to being reliable and present when your pets need it most. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the service requested, whether in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule—feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or yard cleanup, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, secure, and following any specific instructions you leave. In my home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your pet will receive close supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and affection. I keep routines as consistent as possible to help them feel at ease, and I’m attentive to any special needs, diets, or behaviors. No matter the setting, my goal is to make your pet feel loved, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Kailyn watched our dog in our home for a long weekend and was wonderful! She provided updates and pictures. She took good care of our home while we were away. We felt completely comfortable with her and plan to have her watch our pup in the future!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I find joy training puppies and older dogs (if they'll allow me to of course). I enjoy being outside more than inside and being able to see the doggos smile just for being outside. I'm a flexible mom of 2 whom both play sports, travel and for their school. I adjust my time around my families schedule which gives me a lot of flexibility during school hours and most evenings. I will care for your animals as if they were my own. As a mother, nurturing is something I love to give to those who cannot speak for themselves. I believe all animals play a very important role in all families whether it be service animals, friendship, to travel buddies.
“Emma was great and seemed to have had a good stay with our 3 dogs, they can be a lot sometimes but she seemed to handle them just fine! She was on time and responded quickly, would love to have her back!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Appleton is $48
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Appleton
I have never let anyone watch my babies other than family. Robert did an amazing job with them and his communication was perfect. My pups were looking behind us when we got home like where’s Robert. Made me feel like I was able to relax on my mini vacation. I would highly recommend using Robert and we will definitely be booking with him again. Five stars wasn’t enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Caylee was amazing with our boys while we were out of town. We were gone for ten days & I was worried having someone stay at the house we didn’t really know. Caylee though , so sweet and communicative I didn’t worry at all. Even came home to clean sheets. I mean come on. Needless to say we will invite her back!

FAQs for House Sitting - Appleton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Appleton on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,431 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Appleton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Appleton. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
