“Our rescues feel comfortable going to Bobbie and Clark’s and love to snuggle with the whole family. Thank you for giving them a secure environment away from home!”
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.
About: I have some of my own "rescue pets". I have been a foster parent for the Green Bay Area Humane Society, The Appleton Humane Society, the Appleton Pit Crew, and Saving Paws rescue. I have been a pet owner since I was a child. I can walk your dog if you are not able to or don't have the time. I can watch your dog at my home, or if it is easier for your pet I offer home drop in services I own my home and I have a large yard. We can go for walks, play, go to the dog park, or just cuddle! I can either let your dog free roam in my house or if their more comfortable keep in a separate room from other pets. I work 2nd shift and I am available all morning. My husband and kids are home shortly after I leave for work and help take care of the dogs. I have a large yard that has privacy hedges {very woodsy like} around the entire property but no fenced in yard. When I would let your dog out they can go on the tie out cable leash that I have or we can go for a walk around the yard or even the neighborhood. If I do a drop in visit at your home you can let me know if they need to be fed, walked, play time, or just some loves.
About: I’m the type of person who goes to a party and makes friends with the dog. My friends know I’m around when they see a blanket covering up their sleeping pup. My family has nicknamed me dog girl because I take on the challenge of caring for all of them during family functions. I have experience with dogs who need medication, eye drops, ear drops, or who have health issues. I work from home so I am able to hangout with your pet all day! I have a very flexible work schedule if appointments are needed. I prefer to care for dogs in my home but can watch in your home, let out during the day, and check on your home if away. At my home I leash all pets when letting them out. Dogs are allowed on my furniture, I even have a chair next to my work desk incase they want to lounge around on the job.
“Kimberly and her sweet son were so kind and welcoming. She was very conscientious of my dog's needs and sent many photos/updates throughout the day. Playtime and trails walks wore her out! She slept the whole way home. Thank you for taking such good care of our Emma!”
About: My Journey in Animal Care: Personal and Professional Insights My experience in animal care combines both personal passion and professional expertise. For more than 20 years, I've had the joy of owning pets with scales, feathers, and fur. On the professional front, I have been involved in pet grooming, boarding, and veterinary clinics. Currently, I serve as a large animal equine veterinary assistant. Living on a farm in the countryside, I don’t have any dogs or cats, which means your beloved pet will receive dedicated, personalized care. I have a very flexible open schedule to suit your needs of finding a pet boarder. I am available weekdays or weekends. We can communicate if there is any changes. Most of the pet parents I work with provide me with thorough instructions for caring for their pets. I encourage clients to arrange a meet-and-greet with me before their pet's stay to discuss all details and address any health concerns. Furthermore, I want the pets to feel completely at ease with both me and my home prior to their stay.
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Don for doggy daycare. He sends photo and video updates throughout the day and takes time to ensure my dog is having fun at him home! There is lots of space for him to run and play outside. Don is the best when it comes to communicating and caring for my pup.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life I have taken care of dogs in the past as well as I have four dogs of my own right now. I have the privilege of fostering through our pack animal rescue Inc and have saved 81 dogs. With that process I have had dogs that are dominant submissive some dogs that are high energy some dogs that are extremely scared and timid some dogs that do not get well with other dogs or do not get well with cats. We have worked with them trained Incorporated them into the pack. I feel that fostering has helped me grow and learned different breeds and personalities and ages. I have a such a passion for dogs I've loved them I love everything about them and I'm very amazed by your personality and instincts. As of right now I am home. I am a mom to 5 kids, 4 dogs, and two cats. I Foster through our pack animal rescue so I always have extra dogs in the house as well. There will be plenty of time for exercise and socialization if that is something you were looking for. My evenings are the busiest due to my kids being involved in things. Most weekends I am available as well. I have a fenced in yard. I am capable of separating dogs if need be I have space for kennels if that is what you choose. My dogs have been around others and are used to sharing their space due to fostering. I go for walks daily I am able to handle multiple dogs at a time as well. Just like our fosters when we have a dog in our home we respect its boundaries and also give them all the love that they deserve. This of course as well goes into play if not at my house if at client's house. As I do have a husband and five children I will be the only one managing feeding letting out and any other things that was specifically for your dog. This would be for the safety of everyone and for the responsibility and liability of me.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Appleton
Our experience was wonderful! Megan was incredibly kind, caring, and made us feel completely at ease leaving our dog in her care. Her dog, Apollo, was so friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.
This was a last minute need so it was great he could watch Cody with very short notice. Cody is an older dog and does not take change well, so it was fantastic he was excited to return the next day which means Cody really enjoyed his stay. Great care and communication! Cody was all smiles!
We had Savannah as our daycare provider for over 6 months! She was always super nice and flexible when we had to make changes to due working late. Our puppy was always super tired when he got home so we know she did a good job. Our puppy is high energy so we greatly appreciate her for taking him on.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Appleton is $32 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $43 per day. 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.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Appleton commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 162 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of WI. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
