“Brianna watched our dog SheRa for the weekend on very short notice and I could not have been more grateful. We really appreciated the multiple pictures she sent of her cuddling on the couch with a toy and making herself right at home on the bed to cuddle.

We will definitely keep Daniel in mind when we need another dog sitter.”

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.
“We had a great experience with Matthew! He took great care of our dog while we were away, sent photo updates and had great communication. Pickup and dropoff was when he said and when so smooth! Would love to send our pup with him again!!”
“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've been taking care of pets since I was 8, it started with a cat and grew to dogs and snakes and more, working with animals is my dream job. I work factory Monday through Friday but Friday night into Sunday I am available for pet care. I have 2 cats and a dog at my own home, but I am more than happy to dog sit at others homes. I make sure my cats litter boxes are kept clean, I keep their food bowls filled, and I keep their water filled. I walk my dog a lot and I take her out every couple hours to use the bathroom.
“Kristal and Scott did a wonderful job taking care of our Rosie Rae. They kept us updated and sent pics daily. I recommend them highly. Very nice couple and very clean house Will absolutely use them again.”
“Denise is very friendly! She invited us over for a “meet and greet” before we booked and that was super helpful. She kept us up to date with texts and pictures while we were away. Marlo was well taken care of care of, and it was so nice to travel “worry free”. We’d highly recommend and will definitely book again! Thank you so much!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Appleton
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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
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.
