“Great sitter! He stayed with my dog while I was on vacation and he made me feel so sure that Teddy was getting good care. My dog is reactive on walks and diabetic and requires insulin injections every 12 hours. Even with these challenges, Austin did amazing. I would definitely book him again”
“Amber was wonderful! I came home to very happy pups after a long week away. Amber was great at sending updates and very respectful of my home. I knew my pups were in good hands and didn’t worry at all while I was out of town.”
“Cailey was wonderful with our pup! She was very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure our pup was taken care of. She also provided us with daily updates. Will be using Cailey again in the future!”
“Schirn is great. My dog loved her immediately and our guest dog did too. Mine can be very anxious but no issues at all. Good communication and I felt very comfortable leaving the dogs with Schirn.”
“Bliss stayed at my place and took care of my 2 cats for 5 days. And I couldn't be more thrilled that they did! They sent both photos and video with updates of my cats, who looked so relaxed and happy, which is rare with someone they just met. Bliss is definitely a cat whisperer! They also left my apartment clean and cared for, too. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you, Bliss! Rico and Sly send snuggles ;)”
“We’re so happy we found Katherine. Our dog, Jesse, can be a bit challenging with new people and requires patience on his walks, but Katherine handled him with grace and confidence. It was our first time leaving him with a sitter, so I was a little nervous. She kindly agreed to meet us beforehand, which immediately put us at ease. During the stay, she kept us updated with plenty of messages and photos, making it clear that Jesse was in great hands. She also left our home clean and organized. Jesse has a new friend, and I’m a happy dog mama.”
“Jewel was quick to respond to my request and asked many good questions before agreeing to house sit. She also wanted to have a meet and greet before our appointment which I really appreciated. She is very communicative, thorough in terms of what is expected and knowing what the dogs need, and very good-humored; she even took notes during our meeting. The dogs were immediately comfortable with her and I was perfectly confident leaving them in her care. She gave me updates during the day, and everything was great when I returned. The dogs were happy and so was I. I would certainly request her to stay with them again.”
“Magda was a wonderful sitter for our dog and two cats! She took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure our pets were comfortable with her, and that our dog got along well with her dog, Frankie. She was very reliable and communicative while we were away and made sure to send updates with very cute pictures and videos! It made traveling much easier knowing our pets were happy and well cared for. We would happily book with Magda again! Highly highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Kier is the best. He has been watching my dog for several years now, and he always takes great care of him. Sending the best photos and updates and just being a wonderful person that I know I can trust with my pup.”
“Ashton was great! He sent me pictures of her every day for the whole two weeks like I'd asked. I came home to a clean apartment, happy kitty, and he was a great communicator the whole time. Ashton is my new go-to any time I'm away! ”
“JJ was awesome with our pets. Lots of love and attention for our dog and cat plus the house was taken care of. Will definitely book again on our next trip. Thanks JJ for all your help!”
“Emily & LeeAnn were great with my crew! They sent cute update photos and were very communicative, even keeping us up to date on our yard after a big windstorm blew through. When we arrived home, everyone seemed calm and happy. Thanks you two, come back any time!”
“Brenda is wonderful! Sumo had such a lovely time with her, and we would tell he was very well taken care of. He's a big guy but she handled him with ease. We absolutely recommend Brenda for your pittie -- they will be very well cared for!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Middle Village is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Middle Village
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better person for our reactive boy, Tuxedo! Albert was absolutely amazing from start to finish and has officially become our favorite. ❤️ He was incredibly communicative throughout the entire weekend and sent us tons of photos and updates, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. He was so calm, patient, and playful with Tux, and it was obvious from the photos how comfortable and happy Tuxedo was with him. What really stood out to us were all the little things. Albert even waited for us to arrive home so that our apartment door wouldn’t be left unlocked for even a few minutes. He left our apartment spotless, and on top of everything else, surprised us with the sweetest printed photo of Tuxedo as a little gift. 🥹 Albert was thoughtful, responsible, caring, and genuinely wonderful with Tux. We came home to a very happy dog and a perfectly clean apartment. We will 100% be booking him again and feel incredibly lucky to have found him. Couldn’t recommend him more!
Nellie was not only amazing with our pup, but she was also so personable with us! From the start, she communicated really well, asked thoughtful questions about our pup’s needs, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving her in Nellie’s care. It looks like our girl may have found another bestie! 🥰🐶 Thank you so much, Nellie! We truly appreciate you and will absolutely be reaching out again! ❤️
Meghan came over before her stay at our home, took notes, shared them for corrections, was flexible with last minute medication changes, and provided routine updates. She also provided updates outside of her usual cadence from an abundance of caution when one of our pets was having some stomach trouble. Our pets are older, with prescription diets and some mobility quirks, but Meghan handled everything great. The house was exceptionally cared for and our pets were clearly loved in our absence! Have zero hesitations trusting Meghan with our pets for any length of stay!
My usual cat sitter wasn't available, so I hired Riley to house-sit for my cat, and I'm SO happy I did! She was communicative, friendly, considerate, and made my cat feel comfortable and happy from the start. She sent me photos every day, and I could tell my cat was getting lots of love and attention. When we returned home, our apartment was just as clean as we had left it. It's such a relief to find someone you can completely trust with both your pet and your home. I would absolutely book Riley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!
I get super nervous & am very very particular with who I let into my home to care for Zeus because of a couple of previous bad experiences. From the start, I could tell Samantha was going to be amazing. And she was INCREDIBLE. She was communicative, followed alllll of my neurotic instructions, left my space in pristine condition, and really went above & beyond. I actually think my dog might have a crush on her so I cannot recommend Samantha enough. Part of me wants to gatekeeper bc she was that good, but everybody deserves to have peace of mind when they have somebody caring for their fur baby and Samantha provided that and more. Thank you SO much 🥹
Alexa was absolutely wonderful for our pup Warbler! We had a last min trip that she helped us out on, which coincided with a bit of a tummy upset for Warbler and she handled his specialized diet and kept a close eye on him for us. We felt completely safe with him under her care. Warbler loved getting to spend the weekend with her and she took great care of our apartment as well. She was very communicative and gave us lots of great updates! We will definitely book with her again!
Victoria was a delight! She came over for an initial meet & greet with my two cats (6 & 1 YO) and stayed to watch them overnight a few weeks later while I was out of town. She was super communicative and my cats were so well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her & hope to have her back in the future!
I would like to Thank Anastasia for watching Peanut and pumpkin. She was very responsible and kept us informed every day. When we were half way around the world she would respond fast when we had a question. We had no worries and we would love to have next time when we have another vacation I would recommend her. She sent pictures to us every day for walking with our dogs. We loved it. It made us feel safe too.

FAQs for House Sitting - Middle Village
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Middle Village on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 19,160 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Middle Village. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 Middle Village walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Middle Village 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!
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 Middle Village 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
