“Lauren is extremely communicative, flexible, reliable, and kind—I highly recommend her for any pet care services! I will continue booking services with her for as long as she is available. Thank you for everything Lauren!”
“Sherry was super helpful giving medication to my cat caring for her playing with her and keeping her happy. She did a fantastic job I highly recommend her she's very friendly.”
“Kristina did a great job visiting our dogs mid day, giving pets and playing with them. She is very professional with her dog interactions which we appreciated especially with our 9 mo old puppy.and our skeptical rescue cattle dog.”
“We’ve been having Jessy come every weekday for about a month now to let our girls out. She has been super reliable, communicative and easy to work with. We really appreciate her assistance as we transition to both pet parents working outside of our home.”
“We have a cat that tends to hide from strangers but on day one after Sara was visiting came out from hiding and was social during the other visits for the week. She sent daily updates and pictures at the end of each visit of our girls being social and being helpful. When I needed to communicate with her she responded back in a quickly manner. Toward the end of the week one of the automatic feeders we have decided to go offline so she stayed and was able to troubleshoot and fix the issue while we were away which was greatly appreciated so she could breakfast the next morning. We are booking her again for a future visit when we have an upcoming vacation trip out of town.”
“Monica was amazing. We have a puppy and it was our first time leaving him. It was so nice to enjoy our vacation and know he was being very well taken care of. We will be working with Monica again! Thank you for everything Monica!”
“Kori and her husband were great! She responded right away to my request and showed up on time. She sent plenty of updates and pictures. She even reached out to me because the treats were not in the place I originally said they would be. I would definitely use her again.”
“Lyndsey was extremely attentive to my pups, especially my puppy who hadn’t been home without either parent before. She was very patient and communicated well with me!”
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.
“Janet did a great job with my dog Cash. He seemed to be very happy and well taken care of. It was such a relief to know that my baby was in good hands while I was away. Thanks Janet”
“We are very pleased with Samantha’s consistency and communication. When there were concerns she didn’t hesitate to reach out. She is mature, reliable and trustworthy. We would definitely have her take care of the fur baby again!”
About: I’ve spent several years providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection to keep pets happy and relaxed while their families are away. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment so every pet feels comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly rhythm, especially since I work from home three days a week. On those WFH days, I’m able to offer flexible, consistent attention—perfect for pets who enjoy companionship, regular check‑ins, or a steady routine. I build feeding times, walks or play sessions, potty breaks, and general wellness checks around my work blocks, making sure pets get the care and interaction they need throughout the day. On the days I’m in the office, I plan visits intentionally to keep each pet’s routine stable. Whether it’s morning care, midday enrichment, or evening check‑ins, I make sure every pet gets predictable, comforting attention. Because I’m used to balancing a hybrid schedule with pet responsibilities, I’m very organized and reliable about maintaining consistent care all week long. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine, environment, and comfort exactly the way they’re used to. I follow the owner’s instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, medication needs, and any household rules—so pets feel secure and stress‑free. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or a slow, gentle approach. I keep the home tidy and respectful, making sure food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes or potty routines are maintained, and any messes are handled right away. I also pay attention to small details like closing gates, locking doors, turning lights on or off as requested, and keeping the home feeling lived‑in and safe. Throughout the stay, I send updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing.
“Josh does a fantastic job watching Aspen. He always makes sure she enjoys his company and that she gets energy out. Josh also goes above and beyond, leaving detailed notes about his visits and takes plenty of pictures. I would highly recommend Josh to care for your dog.”
“I needed Ellie’s help last minute after some scheduling dynamics. She took care of my 2 labs while I worked a 48 hour shift, and she and the dogs both did great! Updates were thorough, and followed requests/instructions well! Would definitely recommend, and will request her help again!”
“Michelle was lovely to work with and very responsive. She was always forward about what was happening and on time. She definitely loves animals and understands how much we love our pets!”
“Great communication and support for our pup. Jessica spent plenty of time with him while we were away and we loved seeing the pictures of him too! Would recommend!”

Samantha responded on short notice and was able to care for our senior dog the same day as our request. She was very communicative, thorough in her visit summary, and provided plenty of pictures. She also went above and beyond, even bringing in our garbage can after it had been emptied. Extremely professional, kind, and informative. 5 stars, and I would 100% recommend!
Olivia was great! She even came by before the booking to meet us and our animals, which we really appreciated—it made everything feel super comfortable from the start. During the visit she kept us updated and was really thoughtful. Our cat Theos loved her, and Toren had such a good time. She also picked up on some of the training we’ve been working on with our puppy, which meant a lot to us since we’re new to it. Overall just super easy to work with, communicative, and clearly cares. We’d definitely have her back!
We couldn’t be happier with our Rover sitter Jennelle! As golden retriever lover, she truly understood our two pups and cared for them like her own. She was always on time, consistent, and reliable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend! 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Appleton on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 715 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Appleton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Appleton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 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.
