This is the first time I used the Rover app. I found Melanie and am so grateful. She was professional at our 'get to know' meeting and Millie took to her quickly. While sitting for us she sent picture updates and made it clear our dog was in good hands. She left the house clean and in order. She responded quickly to my messages. I would use her services in am instant.

Frederic has been amazing with our pets while we've been away. He was friendly when we met him to go over their routines and kept in touch often (including sending photos) while we were away. He gave our pets time to get to know him...and it didn't take long before he was reporting that they were excited to greet them when he came by. He even watered my plants while I was gone. I highly recommend Frederic as a pet-sitter!

About: I have 13 years of experience with dogs and used to rescue dogs as a side job, helping find them new homes. I’ve owned many dogs of different sizes and breeds, and I see them as loving, kind-natured pets that deserve the very best care. I have experience with everything from medical needs to caring for new puppies and training, and I’m patient and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m available anytime. I can help with whatever is needed, including overnight care, visits, and bathroom breaks. I love spending time playing with pets and giving them one-on-one attention, and I always make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. All their needs will be fully taken care of, whether that includes medical care, one-on-one attention, feeding routines, or following specific schedules and detailed care instructions. I am patient, responsible, and committed to making sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Val was absolutely wonderful with our 2 labs! She is conscientious and caring. Our buddies warmed up to her quickly. We won't hesitate to have her stay overnight in our home again. She really gave us the peace of mind needed for our short getaway.

Emma was attentive, coming for a meet and greet once we booked her. Our golden took to her right away. Emma sent a couple of pics while we were gone and everyone seemed happy then and when we got home. She remembered all the details. We wouldn’t hesitate booking Emma again. She was extremely responsive from start to finish.

Being completely new to Rover, we were a little intimidated and skeptical of the process at first; however knowing we needing a sitter, something kept me drawn to Amber’s profile. Let me tell you that, within five minutes of our initial meet & greet any and all worries we’re completely washed away. Her personality is beautiful, her love and passion for dogs shined through and it was evident that she had much knowledge and experience in the field. I just knew that our dog was in very good hands. While away, she gave us just enough updates to reassure us that everything was going well back home and that we could enjoy our time away. If you are in need of a dog sitter, do not hesitate to reach out to Amber .. we are so glad we did!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Middleton on Rover is $52.17 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 12 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Middleton. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Middleton 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!

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.
  • Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 Middleton walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

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 Middleton 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!

You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.

If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
