“Michelle was fantastic! She kept me posted with pictures at the visit times. She also talked me through what to expect while using Rover since it was my first time using the service. Thank you so much Michelle!”
“Anna did great with my young German Shepherd. He’s a large dog and can be intimidating on greetings. Anna handled my weekend away with professionalism and great communication with comforting photos. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Emma did a fabulous job taking care of my bunnies while I was on a long trip despite it being her first time looking after rabbits. She followed care instructions closely and gave me updates after visiting, she even went out of her way and cuddle with my needy kitties! I would highly recommend Emma for pet care as a pet sitter myself. It is hard finding someone you can wholeheartedly trust with your loved ones, but I had no anxiety with Emma’s quality of care and friendly service.”
“Caitlin and Samuel were a wonderful dog sitter! They treated my dog’s like her own, made sure all needs were met, and kept me updated with messages and photos. I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for. I will definitely book with her again!””
“Travis went over and above what we expected! He was super patient with our shy pup and was able to accommodate our last minute request. We definitely plan to use him again in the future.”
“Josh does a fantastic job watching Aspen. He always makes sure she enjoys his company and that she gets energy out. Josh also goes above and beyond, leaving detailed notes about his visits and takes plenty of pictures. I would highly recommend Josh to care for your dog.”
“We love having Briana pet sit for our two kitties while we are away. We are confident that they are being well cared for. She is very accommodating and great at taking care of our pets. Thank you Briana!”
About: I have had pets all my life! Including dogs, cats, geckos, and fish. I am super passionate about dogs especially, as is my husband. I have dog sat for numerous families in the past, and would love to put my skills to use by hosting pets, and dog walking! We are an incredibly dog friendly house, where dogs are treated as humans. We have a sweet two year old hound mix named Charlie. He LOVES all people and dogs, and would also love some friends to play with! We have done training classes with him, and are very knowledgeable about dogs. We would love to share our passion with you, and your furry friends! I am also a moderator for an online group as well!
About: I have over 6 years of animal experience with dogs, bunnies, and cats. I am active and ready to walk your dogs and play with them! I currently have 2 job working at Target and Nakashimas. I am available after 1pm on Mondays and Saturdays. I am available all day on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday mornings and Sunday morning (6am-11-30am). I am also flexible for last minute bookings. I have 1 dog and 1 cat. I take my dog for a walk everyday and sometimes my cat in his little cat backpack. I feed them every morning 7am and night 6pm! I give them my full attention, like they are my child and have studied them to know exactly what they need. While taking care of your fur baby's I will accommodate to their needs and give my full attention to them and make sure they are happy and always safe.
About: I currently have one dog at home, and he loves to have friends during the day. He is an Aussie-doodle, and is very playful. He is almost 6 years old. I am excited to offer care for other pets in my home. Your pet will be loved just as much as Tracker while they are with me. I am patient with all animals and have been around them my entire life. I am able to take care of puppies as well as senior dogs as well. I have had a lot of practice with giving medications for dogs. I will ensure that your animals needs are met anytime they are within my home. I am more than happy to send updates and pictures as often as you would like so you know how they are adjusting and doing. I work from home and I am able to watch and play with animals during the day and after work. Our yard is fenced in and has a large backyard to play in. I have three girls that I bring to school from 715-8am and then pick them up from 230-330. On the weekends I am available the entire day as I do not work weekends. I have a large fenced in yard. Anytime the animals are outside they gate will be shut. I will also endure any small animals are on a leash as they are outside so they are watched after. During the day, the animals will be within eye sight as I work upstairs.
“Bobbie is amazing! I was so nervous to leave the state and trust someone with my babies but she did such an amazing job and kept me updated. She was on time and great with communicating! Since then I have booked Bobbie again and have been so impressed. She will always be my go to with both my dogs and she cares for them like her own. Thank you Bobbie!!!”
About: I have been traveling for a while, so I took a break from dog sitting, but I am ready to spend my time with all the lovely pets again! Through a mix of my family pets and dog sitting I have experience with training, feeding, walking, and caring for dogs with very different personalities. I don’t think it’s the right time for me to own my own dog, but I’m excited to love on and take care of yours! My favorite thing is getting outside as much as possible with dogs to help us both get a little exercise in. I have lots of time to take care of your pup! For the most part I’m available everyday of the week unless my calendar says differently! Wherever we are, I will be sure to explore the neighborhood with your pup! I love to get out and go on walks as often as possible. While we’re in the house, lots of playing with toys and cuddles will be given!
About: I've been caring for dogs for many years, including my own Golden Retriever and Border Collie mix. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I treat every animal with the same patience, love, and attention I'd want for my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I'm committed to making pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and on treating every pet like family. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to provide attentive pet care. My schedule allows me to accommodate walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins while ensuring pets receive plenty of attention. I keep my calendar organized and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the care and time they deserve. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines to help pets feel at home. I believe consistency is important, so I take the time to learn each pet's personality and needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I'll provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own dogs.
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, and rabbits. I also had a great deal of time with other animals such as cows, and chickens at my Grandpa's dairy farm. One of my past jobs was being a dog sitter, to care for them, and do some training as well. I loved it! 🙂😁 I now have a German Shepard and Husky mix named Apollo, and I love teaching him new things, spending time with him, and of course taking care of him. 🥰❤️ I'm currently working as a house cleaner, and although I love the job, I would like to work some more hours. Sometimes clients cancel or reschedule cleanings resulting in less hours. I'm looking to do this hopefully full time, as I miss working with dogs. 🙂😁 I currently have a huge yard, but I can also give walks if suggested. I'm welcoming any animals except cats due to my boyfriend being allergic. I will do my very best to help any of your fur babies feel at home. 💌😁
About: I took care of my sister's bunny when I was younger for about 3 months. While that is different from a dog or a cat, I do have experience. I have experience house sitting on multiple occasions for my sister, she has one dog and two cats. I am currently searching for a full-time marketing position, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week. If my employment situation changes, I will always communicate well in advance and work with pet owners to ensure a smooth transition for their pets. I can complete whatever task I need to complete! I am caring towards animals and people, so I will put my all into it! I enjoy animals a lot!
“Thank you so much for your kindness and support for our sweetest boy. He needs someone like you to love and care for him so he can adjust while we are away! Thank you for your dedication. ❤️”

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!
Amy and Grace provided exceptional care for my Bernese Rudy while I was gone. It was the first time he was cared for by a non-family member so I was a bit apprehensive as he’s a senior at 8 1/2. He did great and the girls were wonderful with him! They were timely. Provided pictures of a very happy boy! My heartfelt thanks! I would highly recommend Amy and Grace and will certainly call on them again when the need arises. Thank you again, ladies for taking such good care of my best friend!
We couldn’t be happier with our Rover sitter Jennelle! As golden retriever lover, she truly understood our two pups and cared for them like her own. She was always on time, consistent, and reliable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend! 🐾
I needed Ellie’s help last minute after some scheduling dynamics. She took care of my 2 labs while I worked a 48 hour shift, and she and the dogs both did great! Updates were thorough, and followed requests/instructions well! Would definitely recommend, and will request her help again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Appleton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Appleton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
