“Emily was fantastic! Our dog loved every minute of being there. She was very communicative during our week long vacation and made sure to send lots of photos of our Pen getting loved on. We will absolutely be booking with Emily for any future trips or just for a small pooch vaca for our dog. We highly recommend!”
“Maria took such great care of our pup while we were away! She sent us pictures with updates, which made us feel connected! I highly recommend Maria for care, we will be booking again for future needs!”
“This was our first overnight Rover experience and Bobbie and Clark (and their pooches) were rock stars! Stella had a ball and came home exhausted, but in a great way. Loved the pics they sent and it really seemed like they made her feel at home. Living out in the middle of nowhere, sometimes Stella doesn't get as much dog company as we'd like, but she had a chance to play and socialize in a big way! You bet we'll bring Stella to Bobbie and Clark again when we're trekking to Appleton for an overnight! Great job guys!”
“Gina surpassed all my expectations! Dolly could not have had a better experience with her. She sent me pictures and videos of Dolly enjoying every minute of her little vacation. It is easy to see how much Gina cares about dogs and their owners! She is a ray of light with boundless attentiveness to Dolly's wants and needs. I can't wait until the next time Dolly gets to be with Gina. She makes sure the time is nurturing and fun! Thanks so much!”
“Dallas and family were awesome! My dog had such a great time at their house! He enjoyed her dogs and her family. She even sent him home with a goodie bag. ❤️ Definitely recommend!”
“Briana took very good care of our dog and cat. Our cat is terminally ill and has been loosing weight but I think she gained weight in her care. Highly recommend if available and would use again if chance arose.”
“Kathy did a great job. She came through for me at a moments notice when my boarder had a cancellation. Her dogs did well with my boy. He came home happy and tired which is a good thing.”
“Great from start to finish! So easy to communicate with, a spoiled happy pup, updates and pics throughout the week and the confidence of knowing my Pepper was in great hands. Kelsey was wonderful and I’d recommend her to anyone.”
“Frank & Julie are Phenomenal! I was quite nervous about trying again to find temporary care for my dog after a poor experience on another pet sitting app. I read all the other positive reviews for this couple and anxiously decided to move forward with booking. I am so pleased with the care they provided! I feel they went above and beyond for my dog. I'm so grateful I found them instead of boarding, where he'd have had very little attention and interaction. Instead he got the love and attention he could want and all the comforts of home. I will happily continue to use their service.”
About: Hi, I’m Kristin, and animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. With years of experience caring for pets and pet sitting on the side, I’ve developed a deep understanding and genuine love for our furry friends. I am proudly certified in first aid and CPR, not only for dogs but for humans as well, ensuring that those in my care are safe and well looked after. My passion is to provide peace of mind to pet owners by offering trustworthy, attentive care for your beloved furbabies. When you choose me, you’re not just hiring a sitter; you’re welcoming someone who truly values the bond you share with your pets and treats them like family. Balancing a full time career with a passion for pet care, I offer reliable pet sitting services during weekends and evenings. I am happy to try to accommodate special requests whenever possible. With a spacious fenced yard and two big pups, we create a welcoming and playful environment for any canine companion. We ensure that every visitor's furry friend feels right at home, entertained and safe. Whether it's a quick visit or a longer stay, I offer a blend of comfort, companionship, and a safe haven for dogs and their humans alike. Being a natural host and devoted dog lover, I look forward to many more shared moments filled with wagging tails and happy paws.
About: I have been caring for pets my entire life. When I was young, I started a dog walking service with my friend, that lasted years. I started rover to earn extra income when I had my son, now 7. I would love the opportunity to make your pet a part time family member in our home and give you the reassurance your pet is happy and safe while you are away! I have a 12 year old, neutered male husky that would love a part time buddy, and a neutered male cat. If your little one doesnt like other pets, I can keep them separated, no problem! Your pup is only allowed on the furniture if YOU allow them to be! They are both great with cats and dogs. This gives me the opportunity to work on getting up and active through out the days I dont work. I look forward to meeting your furry family member! My child is in school for most of the day and I usually work a few days out of the week due to my online education needs, so I have the entire day to fit your care into my schedule. I allow animals to get comfortable on their own terms and am not pushy with them getting used to my presence. I enjoy playing and ensuring a clean, calm environment.
“Brooke and her husband were absolutely amazing! Dozer was so well taken care of while we were away. Brooke is so knowledgeable about pet care as well, which left us feeling at ease knowing our baby would be properly cared for. Also, pictures and videos, and updates from Brooke daily were an added bonus. Great yard and pet area for him to feel comfortable and “at home”. Thank you so so much! 💕”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and love being outdoors! I have most recently worked as a horse wrangler and have had lots of experience with being around dogs and animals. I will treat your pet as my own and have full availability right now! Would love the chance to give some pups some exercise I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time being active outdoors. I’m always going for walks and can take your pups on multiple a day! I can provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for pets. I live in a fairly large space with two doodles who are always looking for friends.
“Ram and Anu were fantastic! They sent videos, photos and even brought Nikky to visit me at the hospital for a couple hours. They treated Nikky like their own... plenty of love and interaction and fun. I will definitely book them again. I recommend them to anyone who truly loves their pet. I loved the photos of their daughter reading to Nikky and played with him. Their Chocolate Lab was a great buddy for Nikky. They played very well together.”
“Mary was amazing!! My dog does not normally like new people but he loved Mary and she took great care of him. I even had to book last minute because of a funeral. I was able to be fully present with my family at our time of loss because my dog was so well cared for. Thanks Mary!!”
About: I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, birds, turtles, lizards, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I have experience with temperamental or reactive animals as well. Animals are my passion and both friends and family know they can rely on me to provide exceptional care, love and respect to their fur babies while they are away. No animal is too big or too small! I am currently unemployed and in the job searching process so I have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether you need dog walking services or in-home care I can make it work for your needs! I have a beagle/boxer mix who gets daily walks and has a big fenced in yard to enjoy at our home. I also have two cats, a classic brown tabby and a petite tuxedo girly. We are unique as we bring all of our animals camping so they get to experience the outdoors with us! My animals are treated like my children and part of the family which is exactly how I would treat yours. I honestly prefer animals over humans.
“Kristal and Scott were really great sitters. My Sophia was well taken care of and loved by them. She sent me updates on her and pictures almost on a daily basis. I would recommend them and use them in the future.”
“Heather and her husband were so great with our dog, Sheeva. It was our first Rover experience and we had a wonderful experience with them. They sent photos and updates every day so we could see how she was doing and that was very much appreciated. Sheeva was a happy and tired girl when we picked her up so it was clear she had a great time. We will be booking with Heather again!”

Jessica and Chase were wonderful with Buster! This was his first time staying with them, and they were so patient and understanding of his anxiety when I wasn’t around. They went above and beyond to help him feel safe, comfortable, and welcome, and the pictures they sent were such a thoughtful touch and really put my mind at ease. ❤️ It’s not always easy leaving a dog who struggles with separation anxiety, but their calm, caring approach made all the difference. I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave Buster and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for people who truly care about their pets!
Bobbie and Clark were fantastic sitters! They were able to accommodate our dog with an injury and administer her medication and also our naughty beagle who has a tendency to escape! Everything went very smoothly and I really appreciated the daily updates with pics of our bebes while we were gone!!! I would definitely request them again!!
Megan took great care of Boston. She kept me informed and provided a wonderful environment with good energy for him. She was very professional and responded promptly, both initially and during Boston’s stay. I would highly recommend Megan to anyone in need of quality care for their pup!
Iris did a great job with Tink (dog) & Leeli (cat)! She communicated very quickly and clearly, and was prompt, courteous, and professional throughout. She not only provided pictures, but she also shared her observations and insight for future boarding opportunities. (E.g.: reflections on how our cat integrated with two dogs, etc) We will definitely keep iris's name at the top of our list for boarding needs.
Daniel was fantastic! We choose him to dog sit out German shepherd for her first over night not at home. We did a meet and greet first and then she stayed over for the weekend. He made me feel very comfortable and even sent me some photos of my pup! Timber really seemed to enjoy her stay and the adventures (walks) they went on! We will definitely keep Daniel in mind when we need another dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Appleton is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $61 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 of October 2026, there are 234 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Appleton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% 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, 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.
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 , 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 .
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.
