“Natalie did an excellent job dropping in on my dogs for the last few weeks she communicates clearly and made me feel comfortable that they were being taken care of while I was away”
“Thank you so much for your kindness and support for our sweetest boy. He needs someone like you to love and care for him so he can adjust while we are away! Thank you for your dedication. ❤️”
“Alysa was so sweet!! She took care of the cats and dealt with our young kittens wild personality. She took time to send plenty of pictures of them and update anytime I asked. She's very thoughtful and considerate. I would 15 out of 10 recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about their furbabies!!!!!?”
“My Lola looks forward to her Wednesday walks with Janet! Janet is kind, trustworthy, and understanding! All you could ask for in a dog sitter 💗 very happy to have found her.”
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.
“We love having Briana pet sit for our two kitties while we are away. We are confident that they are being well cared for. She is very accommodating and great at taking care of our pets. Thank you Briana!”
“Excellent sitter! The dogs were taken care of and loved him. He took great photos every visit and even went the extra mile and plowed our sidewalk while we were gone. Seriously could not recommend enough.”
About: If your smaller non-shedding dog (up to 40 lbs) does not care for other pets, I'm your sitter! There are no other pets in my house, and I specialize in dogs who do not like other animals. I have owned and loved dogs my entire adult life. In retirement I've chosen not to own one, but I miss those little guys so much and would love to love on your precious pet. I am retired and can fully care for your smaller (up to 40#), potty-trained, non-shedding dog. On weekends in the summer I may talk to you about your friend joining me at my camper. I will provide care for your smaller non-shedding dog without other animals in my home. Perfect for those cuddlers who would rather not have competition for my attention!
“Marci did great for the drop-in visits, she gave my boys all the attention they needed, made sure they ate their meals, and made sure they had plenty of water. I also asked her to let my chickens in and out, which she did great at too. I received photos and an update after each of the drop-ins with prompt responses with any questions I had.”
About: I have been working with dogs at a doggy daycare since I turned 16, and have always been very close to animals. I am passionate about providing the best care and the most love to your animals, and have plenty of experience to make it happen. I am currently enrolled as a vet tech student so I can continue working with these wonderful animals. NOTE: I have class on TUESDAY (12:30-3), WEDNESDAY (12-4), and work on THURSDAY (2:30-6:30). I am available before or after those times. TUESDAY: Class from 12-2:30 WEDNESDAY: Class from 12-4 THURSDAY: Work from 2:30-6:30 I am otherwise available from before and after the aforementioned times. I request notes be left so I can adequately follow instructions and reminders to ensure your pet’s safety while you are away. I will follow these notes to a T.
About: I've had pets my entire life and adore them! If you know anyone who knows me, they will tell you I am an animal lover! :) I work from home, so I have plenty of time to play with the pups (or cats)! I have time during the day to be able to take your pet for walks/play time! We do have a fenced in yard for potty breaks and a quiet neighborhood where I can take them for walks! I do have two friendly (small) dogs who love other animals to keep your pup company!
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.
“Hannah was able to come over on short notice to watch our puppy. She sent a video of him having fun outside to give us peice mind. She went above and beyond and stayed with him for extra time, as well as leaving our space clean and tidy. We would recommend Hannah 😊”

Wonderful care and attention to our pet! The daily pics and updates were nice. We appreciated that Sara kept us up to date on our pet, asked if she had questions, and the dishes were clean on our return home. We would recommend Sara to help with your pet needs!
Great team to care for our four cats (our 2 and our daughters two) as we traveled to a family event. They visited and played with our cats and cleaned and fed them like we would. They even hunted for and found our Fred who was hiding in a new spot under a recliner. I am grateful for the care and professionalism of Jessica and Chase and will use them again!
Rebecca is seriously the best! She really cares for our dogs while we’re gone. It’s not just a quick thing to check off her list, you can tell she actually cares and wants them to be taken care of and happy even though their mom and dad are gone! She’s reliable and responsible and goes above and beyond! I don’t feel like we need to over explain or give 1000 directions, she’s got it covered and it’s easy to work with her. So glad we found her on here! Thank you Rebecca!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Appleton is $22 per visit as of October 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 October 2026, there are 697 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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
- 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
