About: My whole life I’ve lived with and taken care of pets, ranging from puppies and kittens to 13yr doggos and a 17yr old cat who we call granny. My friends and family have always trusted me to babysit and even take in their animals when necessary. I’ve also had a rabbit, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds and taken care of my sisters ferrets so I have a vast animal care knowledge. One of my current dogs is from a shelter and has PTSD so I also am well versed in dogs with anxiety and fears. I love my fur babies and make sure they’re taken care of, but I would love to meet and spoil more! There is always time for extra love! I always make sure everybody has water and has had enough to eat, as well as routine potty breaks to avoid accidents. I will always adapt for each pets needs!
About: Dogs (even puppies), cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds and fish have been under my care for 25 years as mom to four active (now grown) kiddos. I’d be happy to provide daily care, exercise, companionship and snuggles to your beloved pet. I work from home and have varied availability during the day. I can often get away from work to fit in pet care or potty breaks or walks with your pet if scheduled in advance. My evenings are also generally available for quality time with your pets if scheduled in advance. I’m very responsible and will follow any care and/or training instructions you provide both for your pet or your home. Experienced with crate training, and virtually any type of leash training. I will care for your pet as you wish as long as you provide your preferred instructions for feeding, walking, cleaning, and general care.
About: I’m a former pet parent with over 20 years of experience raising rescues. I am missing the energy of dogs and cats and am here to give back to the community as an experienced caregiver. Experience with dogs of all ages and breeds and also cats. I currently work a part time schedule that allows for a lot of time for your pet. Also available for overnights in your home depending on the distance and availability. I keep a very clean home and a tidy yard for your pet. Crates are always welcome. I do not have a fenced in yard, but it sits up against a nice ravine. Happy to let roam in the yard on a rooted line or walk on the path to Peabody park.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and understand how quickly pets become beloved members of the family. My passion for animal care led me to pursue a degree in Environmental Studies, where I deepened my understanding of the natural world and the creatures we share it with. After graduating, I dedicated my time to caring for pets at The Ruff House, a dog boarding and care facility. There, I gained hands-on experience working with animals of all ages—from energetic puppies to seniors requiring specialized support. I provide attentive, individualized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs, and I would love the opportunity to offer that same level of dedication to your pets. I work part-time, which allows me ample availability to care for your pets when you’re unable to. I’m available for pet care most days and am happy to coordinate a schedule that best fits your needs. I am available to care for your pet either in my home or in the comfort of their own. I do have one dog and one cat at home, so if your pet would be more comfortable in their own environment, I am more than happy to provide in-home visits. I’m flexible and committed to supporting you and your pet in whatever way best suits your needs.
About: I've had pets since I was very little (including exotics) and currently have 3 cats. I am a veterinary assistant so I am able to administer medications and pay close attention to your pets health and behavior! I am currently working full time but have fixed hours (off on Thursdays and weekends) from 7am to 5-6pm. I am available at any time that I am not working. In the past I have done pet sitting for both cat and dog owners and used to work at a daycare. For dogs I make sure they are fed, medicated and watered first thing in the morning, then take them for a walk. I will clean anything that needs to be freshened up and play with the dog throughout the day and repeat at night. For cats it's relatively the same excluding the walk and I will clean the litter box twice daily to make sure it is always clean.
About: I have previous experience working in a veterinary office for over 1.5 years, where I was regularly responsible for walking and playing with the dogs that were boarded. This gave me hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. In addition to my professional background, I’ve also had two beloved dogs of my own—a St. Bernard and a Lab/Pit mix—both of whom lived long, happy lives into their senior years. My time with them taught me the importance of patience, love, and attentive care. I’m passionate about providing pets with the same level of care and comfort I would want for my own. I currently work part-time, which means I have plenty of free time during the day to give your dogs the attention, playtime, and care they deserve! I’m available for both in-home and out-of-home boarding, depending on what works best for you and your pets. I’m also available on weekends, so whether you need help during the week or for a weekend getaway, I’ve got you covered! I am an energetic person and love giving & spending my time with animals. Having worked in a veterinary office, I have great experience caring and keeping animals safe.
About: Since childhood, I have been responsible for the care of various animals, including dogs, cats, and small animals of diverse species. Among these, dogs hold a special place in my heart as my favorite animal. As a full-time stay-at-home mother, I am constantly at home with my children and dogs. During the summer months, we thoroughly enjoy spending time outdoors. I have a spacious backyard that is not fenced in, but I have a long tie-out if needed for your furry friends. Your pets will be well cared for.
About: Backed by an extensive educational background in animal care, I provide specialized, age-appropriate attention for dogs at every stage of life. As a practitioner of canine massage, I offer gentle, therapeutic support tailored to the comfort and mobility needs of senior dogs. Equally skilled in managing high-energy dynamics, I understand the developmental and behavioral requirements of active puppies, ensuring your pet receives expert care customized to their life stage. I currently work full time but would love to help out after 4pm I am open on the weekends anytime to be able to take care of your furry friends I recognize that every dog is unique, which is why I customize my approach to align precisely with your pet's specific routine, personality, and medical needs. I am fully committed to following your detailed instructions to ensure seamless, high-quality care and complete peace of mind.
About: I grew up with larger dog breeds and greatly enjoy them. I’ve dog sat for multiple people in my area and I’ve realized it’s something that people need more of and I am willing to help. I work Monday-Friday cleaning houses. I’m always out of work by five. Feel free to reach out about weekends aswell as any additional/specific requests. When caring for somebody’s pet I make sure I know the specific details to fully grasp their needs. Every animal is different, I like to figure out their unique routines, behaviors and personalities to best care for them.

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.
About: I have had a family dog my whole life, and currently have a 1 year old goldendoodle. My boyfriend and I live in an animal friendly apartment complex. I understand how finding the right care for a pet is essential and would love to help out in any way I can! I'm currently work full-time at the office, but my schedule is extremely flexible and I can leave throughout the day if need be. As long as I know in advance, my weekends are available as well! We have an unfenced yard as we are in an apartment complex, but there is 0 shortage of dogs around us. I've got a kennel at home that I used to kennel train my goldendoodle and he's rarely in it so that can be used if need be. I've got extra dog bowls, toys, etc. so I see no issue with a dog feeling uncomfortable in the apartment. My 1 year old goldendoodle, Forrest, is extremely friendly and has no issues with other dogs being around!
“Very reliable! Katie took excellent care of our cats, bearded dragon, frogs, hermit crab and fish while we were on vacation. She sent pictures every day and communicated about how they were doing.”
“Jeanne took excellent care of my cats! She watched my cats shortly after I moved so they were still stressed in their new, unfamiliar environment, but they were comfortable with her and even came out to play!”

Rebecca is seriously the best! She really cares for our dogs while we’re gone. It’s not just a quick thing to check off her list, you can tell she actually cares and wants them to be taken care of and happy even though their mom and dad are gone! She’s reliable and responsible and goes above and beyond! I don’t feel like we need to over explain or give 1000 directions, she’s got it covered and it’s easy to work with her. So glad we found her on here! Thank you Rebecca!
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! 🐾

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
