“We are new doggie people and were reticent to try Rover as an option. We brought Wallace to be boarded the last time we traveled and the experience was not positive. He was very anxious, stressed out, and clearly unhappy. This is why I looked into Rover. I could not have been happier. Libby came by to meet us, Wallace took to her right away. She gave me ongoing updates and was very flexible as far as times. Most importantly, Wallace adored her! I felt completely comfortable, I knew that Libby was caring for Wallace as well or better than we do. She takes this job to heart and it shows. The weight of concern for Wallace was lifted so that we could truly enjoy our holiday. Thank you Libby!”
About: Thank you for considering me to be your trusted pet sitter! I have had dogs in my life since I was a young child. I have owned my own dogs for 11 years. I have experience with both puppies and seniors alike! My family and I are definitely “dog” people in every way! I offer personalized, one on one care for your furry family member! I currently work full time from home with a very flexible schedule and am home all weekends as well! I can accommodate your dogs routine into my day! I have experience with giving both oral and injection medication. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around regular drop-in visits and dog walks, making sure each pet receives consistent care, attention, and exercise. I plan my routes and time blocks efficiently so I can be dependable and flexible for clients, whether they need recurring walks or occasional drop-ins. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so it’s a priority in my routine rather than something I squeeze in. I provide attentive, in-home drop-in care so pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. During each visit, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, take care of potty breaks or litter box needs, provide playtime, walks if requested, and plenty of affection. I also follow any specific routines or instructions the owner provides, administer basic medications if needed, and keep the home tidy by cleaning up pet-related messes. I always prioritize safety, consistency, and communication, and I send updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Samantha took such good care of our dog Moose while we were gone for the weekend. She did drop ins at our house so Moose was able to stay in the comfort of our home. She sent pictures and gave great reports at each drop in so we knew Moose was doing well. We definitely felt comfortable trusting her to look after Moose.”
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!
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. 💌😁
“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!”
“Laura watched our Dixie for more than a week. She was always on time and had wonderful communication. Dixie loved her time with her so much we are booking her again for the end of the month.”
About: I’ve had dogs growing up and it’s safe for me to say I am truly a dog person. I did most of the training with my families most recent dog Zola. Besides that I love being around all sorts of dogs. They are truly man’s best friend! I’m a full time student at UW-Platteville along with playing football so I’m pretty unavailable during the week. However most weekends I’m wide open especially on Sunday all day and Friday afternoons. I have a very good understanding of dogs behavior from growing up around them and being around them most of the time. I will make sure your dog stays busy and out of trouble.
“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.”
“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 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.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was 6 and had to put in my time taking care of the dogs while the parents were out of town. In high school, I volunteered at the human society as a dog walker and helped feed/play with the animals up for adoption. I love spending time with pets and making them feel happy and fulfilled! I have a dog of my own and love taking care of others! I am currently in nurse anesthesia school so I have time early in the mornings or in the afternoon/night time. Weekends are usually pretty open! Let me know what works best for your animal and what their needs are. I will do my best to accommodate any needs and help keep your pals happy and healthy!
“Travis came in as promised and sent me photos of my little guy Milo. Now that I’m working on leaving my puppy home alone it was great to have that peace of mind and Travis came super prepared with extra items for emergencies. Great sitter and Milo seemed to have fun!”
About: Growing up I've always been surrounded by pets of all sorts; dogs and cats and many others. Currently since I've moved out on my own I have a few of my own furbabies (my three cats Penny & Minx & Cheezeburger) that being said I live in my own home.If you choose me then you are helping me give some love to a furry critter who might need that extra help from a new special friend! I currently work first shift and have oodles of love to give hense why I 3 furbabies of my own haha. Typically you can find me fixing things around my house and with summer around the corner I crave to walk more hense why I think being a dog walker would be a interesting twist on how to spice up my life. Depending on your service that is needed we could further talk about what the expectations are. May it be a walk or feeding or simply to give them the good old belly rubs; just being there will be quite the joy.
“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!””

Samantha responded on short notice and was able to care for our senior dog the same day as our request. She was very communicative, thorough in her visit summary, and provided plenty of pictures. She also went above and beyond, even bringing in our garbage can after it had been emptied. Extremely professional, kind, and informative. 5 stars, and I would 100% recommend!
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.

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.
