“Sasha always takes great care of our dog! She goes above and beyond to make sure she has a great stay while we are away! We book with Sasha frequently because of her professionalism and love for our dog!”
“She was beyond great with our Mastiff McBarker for a week and stayed in our home. We didn’t have cell service where we were and she was very accommodating by making sure we had updates for when we did find WiFi to check in. Came home to a less stressed pup from having someone with him. Highly recommend her! 🐾”
“Dan was great to work with again! Our 2 pups enjoyed having Dan watch them for an afternoon. Highly recommend! We will continue to work with him in the future. Thank you!”
“Stacy took such great care of Sadie! We appreciate that she has experience with dogs with megaesophagus. She knew just what to do! Thank you, Stacy for the great care and all the photos!”
“Brianna and Tyler took great care of our dog Kingsley while we were on vacation in Florida. They house sat for us while gone and provided updates on Kingsley via text message. Thank you so very much and we hope you will watch Kingsley again in the future!”
“Teresa and Michael were outstanding. They helped out in a jam when our regular "sitter" became sick last minute. They took great care of the pup and communicated very well with us throughout the two days. Highly recommend and will definitely use again.”
“I had a great experience with this sitter. 🙂 She stopped over to meet my senior dog who can be timid around strangers before I left town and my dog took to her right away. She is reliable and communicates often with updates, photos, and videos. 🙂”
About: I have helped my daughter take care of her dog when she was on vacation multiple times. I really enjoy going on walks, so your dog will be pretty active. I currently work part-time on Saturday and Sunday, totaling 10 hours. I am free to help with any pet care needs, and will not be out of the house for too long. Pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. I will care for your pet the way you would and make sure they’re getting the love and attention they need!
“Mariah gave us peace of mind the entire time we were away. She is very thorough and you could tell she genuinely cared for our two dogs in our absence. She offered to help in instances we wouldn’t have thought of. Not only that, but our entire trip was last minute and Mariah was up for the challenge. That alone says a lot. Thank you again!”
“Greta is so kind and accommodating! Our kitties were in a unique situation where they had recently gotten into a fight and were in the reintroduction process, which required them to be separated. Greta was very understanding of their situation and met their unique needs while we were away!”
“Abby was great with our Springer spaniel. She kept in touch with me regularly up to the time of the booking and made contact with me while we were out, which I was very appreciative of. We were visiting from out of town so we were pleased to have someone like Abby available to keep an eye on Zoe.”

Dan did a great job watching our 2 dogs! He was responsive and communicated/sent photos while watching them. One of our dogs can be a bit stubborn when we're away but he took great care of her. We appreciate Dan taking such good care of our dogs. Thank you Dan!
Sidonie has been just an excellent sitter for our dog Simon ! He’s 16 yrs old and Sidonie’s developed a great relationship with him and good understanding of his routines and personality traits. She’s very patient with him as we’ve actually had some neighbors tell us how well she walks Simon and what a nice young woman she is. Simon looks very comfortable at home with Sidonie and she is also great about sending photos too. We would recommend Sidonie as a sitter to anyone ! Finally, she has been unusually flexible in making adjustments when possible. We have been very appreciative of Sidonie and she has been the best Rover sitter we have had .
Emma took such wonderful care of our pups while we were away. They were relaxed, happy, and clearly well‑loved. Her updates were reassuring, and it meant so much to know everything at home was calm and cared for. We’re grateful for her kindness and would happily book with her again.
Paige is excellent with communication. She texted often and replied promptly. She sent us photos and videos of our pups and let us know when she was at the house. Our dogs were happy and healthy when we came home. Very happy with her care and customer service.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Appleton on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 363 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Appleton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Appleton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Appleton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Appleton. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
