About: As a long time owner of dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles I have the skills, patience, and experience to safely and lovingly watch over your fur friend/s. Being around all the pets especially dogs has always been a natural passion of mine. As much of a service this is for you and your dog, it is also very much beneficial to my own health and well being. I have learned over the years that dogs respond very well to my voice, commands, and body language. A lot of love, care, and compassion to give. I have an open schedule and availability with flexibility to meet any requests! Monday-Sunday. Mornings, Afternoons, or Evenings. I look forward to being a helping hand in enhancing the lifespan and overall well being of your best friend :) My current daily routine and schedule is in need of dog walking and pet sitting. I am focusing on pet care and curating a more pet filled lifestyle. Although I will not be using my own home for pet care services, I can guarantee that the level of care given will be treated as if it were my own.

About: Let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, or behaviors that I can account for or help with. I would love to help. If you have plants that need watering, mail, or packages that need to be brought in, I can help with that too! I'm retired and love traveling around Wisconsin and the world. Slow traveling is my favorite. I can explore new neighborhoods, cities, and local attractions without being rushed. I will follow your directions for your house and loved ones. Let me know the extra duties like watering, mail, or garbage routine. The house is left cleaner than I found it.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. When I was five years old, my family got a dog named Midnite, and taking care of him is what first made me realize how much I love being around animals. As a kid, I volunteered at a local dog groomer for two years, where I got experience helping out and learning how to work with dogs of all different personalities. More recently, I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends and have also helped take care of their cats. I’ve even had experience caring for senior pets, including a German Shepherd and senior cat who needed regular medications. All of these experiences have helped me become more comfortable, patient, and confident when caring for animals. I am currently working full time from home. This gives me time to walk, play, and cuddle animals who need some attention. I also have reliable transportation and a love of enjoying the outdoors. I have extensive experience taking care of cats and dogs in their owners homes. Making sure they have access to water, are fed, medications are administered, and they are comfortable and happy. I also have experience walking dogs who are great on the leash and some who pull.

About: I'm a dog person through and through! I've only ever owned dogs my whole life, and I'd never have it any other way. Training them, playing with them, caring for them, it all fills my heart with so much joy. To me, dogs are one of life's greatest gifts, a true blessing from God. They love without conditions and make every day a little brighter. I wouldn't trade a single wagging tail or muddy paw print for anything. I work from home, so your pups will never be left alone for long. While I'm in my office, they'll have Stryda as a built-in playmate, and together the pack keeps each other happy, busy, and engaged throughout the day. Between their playtime and my breaks to check in, cuddle, and toss a ball around, your dogs will get plenty of love and attention, just like my own. I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I’m great with communication and more than glad to send you daily updates on how your pup(s) doing with me! Your pup will feel right at home with me! I have a fenced yard and a loving Australian Shepherd named Stryda, who’s sweet and playful with all dogs. Your dog will always have fresh water, plenty of playtime, and a comfy, safe space to relax. I’ll keep them active, well cared for, and showered with attention throughout the day. Whether it’s a good play session, a cozy nap, or just some cuddles, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own, and I’m always happy to keep you updated however you’d like.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and started walking dogs when I was 11 years old. Over the years, I’ve had experience with dogs, cats, and many other pets of my own. I am comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, including senior pets, rescues, and shy animals who need extra patience and care. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love building trust with each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is my full-time and only job, so I’m able to offer flexible scheduling, dependable communication, and plenty of attention for your pets. I’m typically available all days of the week, including daytime hours, with occasional exceptions depending on scheduling and personal appointments. I truly love what I do and treat every pet as if they were my own. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. During drop-in visits, I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level while providing plenty of care, affection, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, meals, medications if needed, and cleanup. I understand that trust is incredibly important when someone is caring for both your pets and your home, so I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to details. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel loved and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been in the healthcare field for over 5 years. My specialty is taking care of those who can’t take care of themselves. I’ve been a boarder and sitter with Wag for over three years and have had my own pups in the past before I enlisted active duty. Being able to care for pups gives me so much joy as a single woman with no children. I love to go on walks, dog parks and will make sure your pup gets all the care and attention he or she needs including giving meds if needed, bathing, and even mail clipping upon request. I currently work full time in the navy so I do most of my boarding on weekends but I do have a roommate that works an opposite shift and helps walk, play with, and take the pups to go potty when I’m at work throughout the day. I wake up early to let the pups out, and walk them either to the park or around the complex after work, set play dates (if the pup likes other doggies) and walk them and take them out before I go to bed as well. I have a very large open living room and solarium that allows the pups to have their own space to play and run around when it’s raining outside and the park is not optional for play time. I also have a large kitchen area with enough space for pet bowls and beds and I do allow the pups to sleep in the bed if they prefer. I do not have any safety concerns as my home is pup-proof. I take frequent potty breaks and am a light sleeper. Most pups I have boarded know how to let me know when they need to go outside, and for those who don’t, I go on a set schedule right after feedings and every few hours (2-4) depending on the pups age. More frequently if they are still potty training. I do take the dogs to the dog park for play time, exercise and activities.

About: Hello! I’m Taylor, a 23 year old animal lover with over 14 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Since I was young, I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors by walking dogs, feeding pets, providing companionship, and staying with them while their owners were away. I currently have two one-year-old cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, and I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions to help them feel at ease. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. I work full time and am responsible for being there Monday-Saturday but only if there are appointments. I’m available before work, in the afternoon/evenings, and on weekends for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly, so if you have a specific schedule or timing in mind, feel free to reach out. I’ll always make sure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space, carefully follow your instructions, and keep your pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress while you’re away. I’m attentive during walks, make sure pets have fresh food and water, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and will always keep doors, gates, and leashes secure. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

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: I’ve been around animals since I was 8 years old, when my family adopted a miniature schnauzer. Even before then, we had everything from hamsters to fish and the like, kid pets, ya know? Following our dog’s passing, I’ve helped care for a senior cat that my parents had and also three different orange cats that my wife and I have shared over the last three years! Being a cat owner, there isn’t too much of my non-work daily or weekly schedule that isn’t taking care of them: cleaning the litter box, keeping their automatic feeder and water filled, giving them wet food and playing with them! Caring for your cats animals as I have in the past will fight right in with my schedule, and I can’t wait to work with you! I always make sure to take myself on a walk daily, and I’d love to take your best friend with me! I get in 1-2 miles daily, but I am willing to adjust this to fit your pets needs. In your home I’d love to feed, spend time and play with, and care for your pet.

About: Hi! I am full-time teacher, part-time photographer, and a full-time dog mommy. I have had dogs as pets since I was about 10 years old. My family dogs became my responsibility when my parents went out of town (as I was the oldest). I love to go on walks, play fetch, and just about anything else that dogs love to do! Since I am a full-time teacher, I would be available during nights and weekends to watch and/or stay overnight with. Dogs are welcome in my home as long as they get along with other dogs. I have two dogs myself currently, a Boston terrier/boxer mix and a Chihuahua/terrier mix. I am caring, loyal, and flexible. I would love to meet you and your dog!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities throughout my life, from puppy stages to senior care. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, administering medications, and giving pets the attention and patience they need to feel safe and happy. With my background as a CNA and caregiver, I naturally bring a calm, attentive, and detail-oriented approach to pet care. I understand how important it is to follow routines closely and make sure every pet is cared for as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or extra care, I’m here to provide a reliable and loving experience you can feel confident in. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available for last-minute bookings, drop-ins, and walks throughout the day. I’m currently looking to spend my time doing something meaningful while earning extra income, and caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every pet with the same level of care, attention, and love that I give my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while following any routines or instructions you provide.

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!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Appleton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Appleton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 667 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Appleton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Appleton. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
