“Absolutely amazing! I had so much anxiety having someone else feed and do her meds because my cat doesn’t like people but she has a magic touch!! Loved the photos and detailed updates really helped with reassurance!! Will 100% be booking again for all my trips!”
“Wonderful care and attention to our pet! The daily pics and updates were nice. We appreciated that Sara kept us up to date on our pet, asked if she had questions, and the dishes were clean on our return home. We would recommend Sara to help with your pet needs!”
“Olivia was available last minute to watch after our shy kitty Bubba, and she took fantastic care of him. Although he was hiding when she stopped by, she managed to snap a few photos to let us know he was ok, and she even watered our plants while we were away. She's friendly, responsive and caring...everything you need in a pet-sitter! We'll definitely bring her back to care for Bubba when we go out of town in the future :)”
“Leah did a great job taking care of our two cats, including one that is new to the family. She kept in context and sent photos, and make sure everyone got along. We would definitely book with Leah again!”
“Awesome. Samuel took great care of both of my dogs, even making extra stops in to make sure they were doing well during my trip. He took great care of my senior doggo always making sure she had her meds and was comfortable.”
About: I grew up with medium sized dogs all of my childhood. In the past two ish years I’ve watched some family members dogs (on the bigger side). Then, for a little over a year I had two cats with my roommate. I’ve given dogs pills in their food but that’s it. Currently my work place is short staffed so my weekly schedule can vary but I do get one day off a week so feel free to still request certain times of the day! I’m typically working 6-2:30 otherwise. When I’m not on call I have weekends open. Also I don’t mind house sitting during the week as long as it’s okay for me to go to work and then come back! I would do everything instructed of me. Feed at scheduled time (or make sure there is food in the bowl). Fresh water every day. Try to play outside depending on weather.
About: I have grown up with dogs, and have had always had a passion for being around dogs. I worked with them in my last job at a nursing home and seeing the difference they make, makes me so happy Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m currently in school and have afternoons available after my other job. This gives me time to care for pets, provide attention and companionship, and complete my schoolwork between visits. I’m organized and dependable, and I can plan my schedule around each pet’s feeding, playtime, walks, and other care needs. I also have two cats of my own, so daily pet care is already a regular part of my life. I care for pets by following their normal routine and paying attention to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I provide fresh food and water, playtime, exercise, companionship, litter-box cleaning, and plenty of patience. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and send regular updates so they know how their pet is doing. I have experience caring for cats belonging to family and friends, and I have two cats and a two-year-old dog named Kona of my own. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep things clean, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away
About: I am a Neenah Native who has been providing pet care for 25 years. This includes young puppies & helping them learn their manners to the elderly/special needs & providing them medication (including insulin), special meals, cozy beds & extra TLC. My cat experience includes kittens, elderly, special needs, extremely shy, to extremely social. Each cat is unique. I take the time to make sure to treat them that way. I also have experience caring for rabbits, fish, guinea pigs, lizards, etc. When I come to your house - I follow the rules you set for me to the T. I want the visit to be as stress-free as possible & keeping a consistent routine is part of that. If your dog(s) stay with me - they will be a part of my family. A secured, fenced in yard for safety & fun. A nice laidback home where they can go on the furniture & snuggle in bed w/my pets & me at night. The bigger cuddle puddle the better! Pet care fits into my daily routine as it is MY life & business. I care for my well-socialized rescue pets from morning to night as they are NOT just my pets - they are my FAMILY! This allows us to work together to find times that work best for your fur babies! When caring for dogs in my home, I only care for one family's dog(s) in my home at a time. FREE CONSULT ahead of time to make sure it is a good match for everyone. This lessens the stress on the visiting dog(s). Multiple family dogs in one home CAN be overwhelming for SOME dogs. (NOT ALL) This is also nice for my pets to only have one family's dog(s) at a time. We like to keep things calm, peaceful & relaxing while still having fun! Dogs are allowed on the furniture if the parents allow it. If they do not - I will not. I do not want to start any bad habits. LOL Dogs can sleep in bed with the dog/cats/me. I have a very secure fenced in backyard that I check on a regular basis to make sure there is not even the tiniest gap. Being a former caseworker for Lost Dogs of WI - I know how important this is. But even with a fenced in yard - the dogs are watched. Plus - you'll get lots of pics/texts of your dog(s) while you are away! I believe in open & transparent communication. When I do drop in visits in a clients home - I have the client go over EVERYTHING during a FREE consultation beforehand where I take very detailed notes!! It is extremely important the cats/dogs routine stays the same as possible. This lessens their stress when their owner/family is gone. I only go in the areas of the house where the pets will be. I also leave a journal to keep detailed notes. I also send daily pictures/texts as well. I am very security conscience & will bring in mail, double check the door is locked, etc.

About: -responsible and punctual -15 years experience with childhood dogs -online school suitable for flexibility in dog walking and home visits Hello! Ever since a little kid I have had deep love for dogs. They are amazing, loving animals that I could not live without! I am becoming a rover due to extra money to pay for college. I live in a duplex in Howard. I have a yard I go on runs/walks daily and throughly enjoy being outside! I am very responsible, reliable, and respectful. I will give your dog the love and care it deserves. Your dog will be in great hands! I am currently working full-time as a Reading Specialist.

No other dogs are here.
About: “God speaks to the creatures through the creatures.” -Dr. Chase. “All you need is love.” -John Lennon. Plenty of love I have to give, but I also have the experience of 35 years as a science teacher. I’m well-versed in how animals like dogs and cats talk to us through their gestures. Dogs evolved with humans, and I understand that relationship and how dogs meet our emotional needs. Please read my first four reviews which I received from pet owners that I served even before signing up with Rover. The pet owner decides when treats are allowed, if table scraps are allowed, and how much food to give. The dog decides when it wants to go potty. 😉 Just in case, I usually take the dog out before it decides and always before any discomfort. Snuggles welcome. 🐾🥰😻 When serving you and your pet, I like to send pictures. We can also use FaceTime or Zoom to check in. 🐶🤩 At age 61, I’ve been a retired teacher for 3 years, and my activity level allows me to run or play with your beloved dog. In your home, I follow instructions and do the routine for your beloved just like you would. However, if I’m allowed to give more snuggles, or more walks, or more training than you normally have time for, I’m at your service.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Appleton
Wonderful care and attention to our pet! The daily pics and updates were nice. We appreciated that Sara kept us up to date on our pet, asked if she had questions, and the dishes were clean on our return home. We would recommend Sara to help with your pet needs!
Olivia was great! She even came by before the booking to meet us and our animals, which we really appreciated—it made everything feel super comfortable from the start. During the visit she kept us updated and was really thoughtful. Our cat Theos loved her, and Toren had such a good time. She also picked up on some of the training we’ve been working on with our puppy, which meant a lot to us since we’re new to it. Overall just super easy to work with, communicative, and clearly cares. We’d definitely have her back!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Appleton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
