About: I’ve spent several years providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection to keep pets happy and relaxed while their families are away. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment so every pet feels comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly rhythm, especially since I work from home three days a week. On those WFH days, I’m able to offer flexible, consistent attention—perfect for pets who enjoy companionship, regular check‑ins, or a steady routine. I build feeding times, walks or play sessions, potty breaks, and general wellness checks around my work blocks, making sure pets get the care and interaction they need throughout the day. On the days I’m in the office, I plan visits intentionally to keep each pet’s routine stable. Whether it’s morning care, midday enrichment, or evening check‑ins, I make sure every pet gets predictable, comforting attention. Because I’m used to balancing a hybrid schedule with pet responsibilities, I’m very organized and reliable about maintaining consistent care all week long. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine, environment, and comfort exactly the way they’re used to. I follow the owner’s instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, medication needs, and any household rules—so pets feel secure and stress‑free. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or a slow, gentle approach. I keep the home tidy and respectful, making sure food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes or potty routines are maintained, and any messes are handled right away. I also pay attention to small details like closing gates, locking doors, turning lights on or off as requested, and keeping the home feeling lived‑in and safe. Throughout the stay, I send updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing.
“Sadie is very happy with her walks with Janet. She let's her sniff the tall grass for smells. Fun!! We are very appreciative of Janet. Sadie gets her walks when we aren't able to and is very happy and tired.”
“Josh is so good with my boy Jaxon. You can tell he really loves what he does and goes above and beyond no matter the weather to get him out on his walks and always gives me a detailed Rover card and pics. I work long days so it's nice knowing my boy is being taken care of.”
About: I've spent my entire life having animals and loved them for my entire life. I've had cats my entire life, and often this is not lent itself well to me also owning a dog. We currently own three cats one 12 year old lady, and two 2 year old brothers. When I was young I would walk the neighbor's dog just so I could get some dog time in. In college and after college I had several roommates who had dogs I lived with, who I would also help care for either just for fun or while they were gone. I have also taken care of friends dogs while they are out of town on vacation. I have experience with cats from 6 weeks old all the way up to end of life. I have experience in giving cats medication, special diets, special instructions and any other quirks your cat may have. I'm experienced in walking dogs, playing with dogs, feeding dogs (including special diets) and while I love larger dogs, I currently am unable to care for them due to a medical condition and it only able to care for a small dogs. I'm currently taking a break from my career and have very flexible availability, both during the week and on the weekends. I do request 24 hours notice. I will take care of your pets with the instructions you leave me with. I will rely on you as the pet parent to make all major decisions and follow your rules as best as possible. I am great with communication and will regularly communicate with you to show you how your pets are doing while you're out of town and ask any questions that arise while you're gone.
“Monica did an excellent job walking all three of them, and they loved her. One can be a little standoffish, but she ran right up to her and happily went on the walk. Definitely booking again.”
“Samantha was great with Zero! Gave him plenty of excercise and sent over great pics!!! She was mindful that it is hot out and gave him some fresh water so he could cool down. Would definitely have Samantha come back and walk Zero again! Thank you!”
“Briana came out and walked my dog for me for a week while I had longer working hours. Duke loved her, she was prompt and had great communication! I so appreciated her coming out of her way to get him out and will absolutely be booking again!”
“Megan and Kevin have done an amazing job with my girl! They are always reliable and are nice enough to to fit late evening dog walks in because I work long night shifts. They have also taken in her for overnight care and treat her like their own!! I travel for work and have worked with a lot of Rovers, Megan and Kevin are the best ones I’ve had!”
About: For as long as I can remember our family has owned and cared for varying pets as my children have grown. We've had several dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, hamsters and birds. As time has gone by and the children have grown and left and pets have passed away I miss the company and comfort only a pet can provide. Now that I'm retired and without pets of my own I have the time to care for the pets of others when their owners need to be away. Since I also travel, it provides the best "pet fix" without being tied down with owning one of my own again. I think you'll find me loving, reliable and conscientious. I'll do my best to care for your pet as though they were my own.
“Lauren asked so many great questions and took a real interest in our pups. They seem to really enjoy her visit and gave us peace of mind while away. Absolutely would recommend her to anyone!!”
About: I have part-time pup named Teddie, who you can see in my photos. I cared for my parents' elderly dog for two months, and I occasional provide daily care for another friend's dog. I'm looking forward to making more pet connections, and I hope to meet your animal companions very soon! I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have significant flexibility in my schedule. I will work with you to make sure all your pet's needs are met! I am happy to care for your pets at your home, or mine. We are best set up to care for dogs at our home, with easy access to our backyard and a longer, outdoor leash (no fence). My eleven-year-old enjoys animals as well, and he often scooters with me during doggie walks. I have experience with elderly dogs and anxious dogs.
“Deahndra is amazing with our 3 dogs, thats right, 3 dogs! She’s been walking then since May and they absolutely love her. She’s always there when we need her, almost as if she’s on call. My 3 dogs not only enjoy the walks but I’ve seen improvements on how well they walk for me- it’s a win win! My absolute favorite is that Deahndra takes pictures of my fur babies while I’m at work. Deahndra is always keeping me in the loop with what’s going on and how much fun they’re having(without me :( )”
About: What maybe sets me apart from other sitters, is that I'm extremely genuinely excited to be in a dogs/cats presence. I'm the type of person that can be seen a crowded room, snuggling the dog and ignoring all the humans. I always want the animal to be seen, and shown with the most attention possible (because they are just too cute!). I had a dog growing up, so I've been around puppies & seniors. I've also dog sat for many years, all ages and types. I'm super active, so if your dog needs to let some energy out - I'm your person! I'm also super chill, a great protector, always making sure the pets are safe, healthy, looking for any signs of discomfort, and truly treat them like they are my own. I work remotely, so any day/time of the week works for me. Weekends are mostly free as well. Ideally, a routine would be nice so I know what to expect, but short notices are also flexible. I have 3 cats of my own, so housing your pet in my house is not an option. I will be extremely careful and detail oriented, making sure everything is locked, secured harness, no small objects on floor, things are turned off, and so on.
“Kristina is always so wonderful to my dog Cooper - she is very responsive and communicative and I can tell that she genuinely cares for the dogs she watches. She is highly recommended!”
About: Although I currently don't have a dog, I have had the pleasure of sharing in the lives of several dogs over the years. I think both dogs and cats have such a special way of contributing to our lives and I would love the opportunity to share in your dogs lives when you are unable to be there whether it be to get them some exercise or just give them some time and attention. I am active and would have no trouble taking your dog for walks or to the park if you wanted. I also don't mind the cold weather so you don't need to worry about winter coming up. I hope to hear from you soon and for you to be a satisfied customer! My husband and I work together doing home improvement and 'handyman' type odd jobs, which makes my schedule very flexible. I can adjust my errands and work appointments around the needs of your pet. I am very careful when letting dogs outside that they are on a leash or there is a fenced yard if I am at your home. I would never want for a pet to get out that I could not get them back.
About: Hello!! My background with dogs began at a very young age! My family has always had dogs, started with Labrador Retriever’s and now we have a 5-year old rescue mutt named Meeka! I have experience with dogs as small as Teddy Bears to as big as Bernese Mountain Dogs. I truly love to be around all dogs and would love the opportunity to care for yours! I do work a full time job but have the flexibility after work to tend and care for your animals and their needs. My weekends are typically free and I would love to fill my time with dogs or cats if I have the chance! I will definitely keep you updated, however you prefer, while caring for your dog! I will make sure to keep your dog to the schedule you would like and to always give a good belly scratch and endless love!
“Such a great couple! Jessica and Chase worked together to accommodate our schedule. They kept in contact and were punctual. Our dog loves them and I would definitely recommend them, but would like to keep them all for myself!”
“I engaged Amanda to walk my mom’s dog, Nin, after she had surgery and could take him herself. Amanda was amazing with Nin and super helpful for my mom. She even brushed him when my mom was unable to (he’s a shepherd so has LOTS of hair and the shedding easily gets out of control). I would definitely recommend Amanda; she is dependable, great with dogs and super thoughtful.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Appleton is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Appleton
Great sitter! She took exceptional care of both of our Golden Retrievers and showed such a genuine love for them from the very start. Her communication was truly top-notch — consistent, timely, and reassuring — which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She came two days in a row at the same hours to let our sweet babies out, and her reliability and presence meant everything to us. It was clear she was fully engaged, attentive, and truly cared about their comfort and happiness. You can tell she has a huge heart for Goldens, and that made us feel over the moon knowing how loved our pups were. We felt completely safe and confident leaving our dogs in her care, and we are so grateful for the love and consistency she showed them. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate sitter!
I would highly recommend Joe if you're looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. I needed someone to walk our dog while he was staying with my parents for the weekend, and Joe was able to fit us into his schedule on short notice. He was very responsive and communicative throughout the entire process, which really helped put my mind at ease while I was away. Our dog is a rescue and tends to have some separation anxiety, so we were a little nervous about using Rover for the first time. But Joe was very understanding, and our dog felt comfortable with him right away. Joe even took him on his usual walking route, which helped him settle in and feel more at ease. He kept me updated with a detailed message and photos, which I really appreciated. We had a great experience and would absolutely book with Joe again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Appleton on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Appleton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Appleton.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Appleton. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
