“Melissa is such a wonderful person. She took in my dog at late notice and for the whole week. She kept me posted on how he was doing and sent photos. Very professional and highly recommended.”
“We loved working with Kimberly. She watched our dog for the first time and suggested a meet and greet to make sure she was a good fit with her own dog. We loved that and it made us trust her from the start. When we met her, Kimberly asked us many questions about our dog that made us feel like she would take very good care of her. Also, Kimberly’s home is quite literally the perfect set up for dogs. We know that our dog loved staying there and we enjoyed the updates Kimberly sent us throughout her stay. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I enjoy all dogs, big, small and in between. They will get lots of attention and play time fun whether it is in the yard or the dog park if more energy needs to be burned. I’m willing to stay at your home overnight if it is between Waupaca, Appleton or Oshkosh. I’m trustworthy and dependable, we have three dogs. The dogs enjoy playing in our yard or just laying in the sun. Please contact me if you have questions or need a sitter. Thanks We work outside the home from 7 am to 4 pm three days a week. We fed our dogs at 6 am and 6 pm. I play or walk the dogs morning and evening. I always make sure the dogs have plenty of water and feed them per the Owners preferred schedule.
About: I am a stay at home mom to my two (respectful) children. This means that your furbaby will never be alone and will receive my 24/7 love and attention! I have two sweet pups of my own (one of which is a senior) and two loving cats. I adore animals and am comfortable giving medications, accommodating special requests, and doing anything else to make your pet feel comfortable and at home! We are a homeschooling family with one stay at home parent and one work from home parent. Your pet quite literally will never be alone and will receive constant love, play, exercise, and supervision! I have a fenced in backyard attached to my house where your furbaby can play freely. I have two dogs and two cats that are very socialized and comfortable around other animals. Your pet truly will be treated as another family member during their stay with us.
“Michelle was wonderful! She made sure my pups felt completely comfortable the whole time. I loved getting so many photo updates every day. I always knew they were in great hands. I will definitely book with her again!”
About: Our family has a huge heart for animals and want to extend that to your furry friend! My two daughters and I love animals and can’t wait to start pet sitting! Hi! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule! Plenty of time for fun and fetch, Nice big backyard for all the activities! Please feel free to reach out! I have a fenced in yard and one playful black lab who will be sure to keep your furry friend entertained and happy to be here!
“Raina watched my Snickers for two days and took excellent care of her. Snickers is old and she accommodated for her 13 year old body taking her out frequently and helping her up onto furniture. The home was clean and safe for my baby girl. I would definitely recommend Raina!”
“Stefanie did an awesome job with Dusty. She kept me informed on how he was doing and included pictures. She was flexible and great communication. Highly recommend and will use her in my future.”
“Our pup was so happy to be at Breanna and Olivia’s! He loved playing with their dogs. I appreciated all the photos that were shared during his stay. It was clear he was well cared for. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and treat every dog like my own. I have the most experience with hunting breeds and high-energy dogs, but I’ve also cared for small dogs. Since I miss having my own dogs around every day, caring for others’ pets truly fills that void and is something I genuinely love doing. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I have most nights and weekends available. I’m even willing to bring your dog along with me when possible so they have plenty of company and attention. Daytime availability Monday–Friday between 8am–5pm is more limited, but I’m willing to discuss options for check-ins in the Howard/Suamico area. I make sure each pet is well cared for, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while you’re away. Depending on the dog’s needs and your preferences, that can include walks, playtime outside, backyard exercise, or trips to the dog park if allowed. My goal is to keep them active, happy, and on a routine that feels familiar and stress-free.
“Kristina and her family took such great care of our girl, Beau. She was very flexible with flight plan changes and always kept us up to date on how the pup was doing on her vacation. We will book again!”
About: Not every dog is a good ol girl, some are good ol boys! I love animals and dogs are a huge part of my life. I enjoy learning the ways they speak to you without words and building trust through positive reinforcement. I’m well versed in puppy training and sr. dog care if needed. I currently work as a Real Estate agent and High School basketball coach which allows me a lot of flexibility with my schedule. The most I am away from my home is 4hrs at a time and will ensure your doggo will have the best time! I have just under an acre of land to play on if needed. My dog(7yrs old) and I adventure on several walks throughout the day and would love to add your pupper(s)to our schedule.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Appleton
Jessica and Chase were wonderful with Buster! This was his first time staying with them, and they were so patient and understanding of his anxiety when I wasn’t around. They went above and beyond to help him feel safe, comfortable, and welcome, and the pictures they sent were such a thoughtful touch and really put my mind at ease. ❤️ It’s not always easy leaving a dog who struggles with separation anxiety, but their calm, caring approach made all the difference. I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave Buster and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for people who truly care about their pets!
Bobbie and Clark were fantastic sitters! They were able to accommodate our dog with an injury and administer her medication and also our naughty beagle who has a tendency to escape! Everything went very smoothly and I really appreciated the daily updates with pics of our bebes while we were gone!!! I would definitely request them again!!
Megan took great care of Boston. She kept me informed and provided a wonderful environment with good energy for him. She was very professional and responded promptly, both initially and during Boston’s stay. I would highly recommend Megan to anyone in need of quality care for their pup!
Iris did a great job with Tink (dog) & Leeli (cat)! She communicated very quickly and clearly, and was prompt, courteous, and professional throughout. She not only provided pictures, but she also shared her observations and insight for future boarding opportunities. (E.g.: reflections on how our cat integrated with two dogs, etc) We will definitely keep iris's name at the top of our list for boarding needs.
Daniel was fantastic! We choose him to dog sit out German shepherd for her first over night not at home. We did a meet and greet first and then she stayed over for the weekend. He made me feel very comfortable and even sent me some photos of my pup! Timber really seemed to enjoy her stay and the adventures (walks) they went on! We will definitely keep Daniel in mind when we need another dog sitter.

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 .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
