“We are new doggie people and were reticent to try Rover as an option. We brought Wallace to be boarded the last time we traveled and the experience was not positive. He was very anxious, stressed out, and clearly unhappy. This is why I looked into Rover. I could not have been happier. Libby came by to meet us, Wallace took to her right away. She gave me ongoing updates and was very flexible as far as times. Most importantly, Wallace adored her! I felt completely comfortable, I knew that Libby was caring for Wallace as well or better than we do. She takes this job to heart and it shows. The weight of concern for Wallace was lifted so that we could truly enjoy our holiday. Thank you Libby!”
“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”
“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!!!!!?”
“Lola had a great time with Korri! Upon our initial meeting, she asked a lot of detailed questions and was very prompt with her arrival. Communication was also great. I felt very comfortable leaving Lola with Korri, and will definitely use her again in the future!”
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!”
About: I have cared for pets in a variety of contexts including while babysitting, stop-by check-ins, and live-in per care for a few days at a time. Additionally, I am known to spend more time hanging out with the pets at friends’ houses than with the people there. I am a student with flexibility in most afternoons/evenings and early mornings. I do have 7 hour blocks each day but other than that have lots of time to play with and walk pups! I work very hard to try and make most requests work! I follow given or written instructions to a T. Additionally I prefer to follow the pets lead, within reason, not forcing myself into their space or making them “like” me, rather waiting for them to approach me.
“Brianna was great. I was in a pinch and had never used Rover before. She wasn't able to meet my dog (German Shepherd) before hand during the week. That is important walking into a home of a Shepherd! She was flexible and met my dog in the morning of the day I needed her in the afternoon. Very much appreciated and worked out really well. Highly recommended and everyone should use her (except when I need her!!) Bill”
“Stacy is kind and professional in person. She took wonderful care of my girl while I was out of town. She took Lady for walks, bare necessities or food and water, and just treated her with love. I am so thankful for that. If you need someone to trust when you need to be gone without your pup, she’s a great pick!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities! I currently have two dogs of my own, a Labrador Retriever and a Shiba Inu, and have also cared for lizards, birds, and fish. I’m comfortable with high-energy, timid, and laid-back pets alike. I’m passionate about providing loving, attentive, and reliable care to every animal! I’m a full-time online student with a part-time job on Thursdays and every other weekend. I’m looking to use my free time throughout the week to spend time with and care for your furry friends! As a pet caretaker, I prioritize keeping your pet’s living space clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, including kennels and cages. I ensure pets have fresh water, proper meals, and monitor their eating habits. I also provide exercise through walks, playtime, and engagement. I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or signs of illness or injury, and I’ll promptly communicate any concerns to the owner. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! :)
“I was a first time Rover user and Kimberly made everything so easy. She answered every question in a timely manner. The meet and greet put my mind to ease. Loved the report and pictures every time she stopped to take care of our cats. I would recommend Kimberly and her son to take care of your pets.”
“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.

Olivia is GREAT! We never used this app before, and she was very informative on the process! We felt super comfortable having her in our home and around our pets! She took adorable photos and videos! Called us when she had a question and didn’t hesitate to ask questions we may have overlooked! 10/10 would use her again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Appleton is $22 per visit as of November 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 November 2026, there are 694 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
