“Melanie did a great job caring for my spoiled pup and new kitten. She was very communicative. I was able to travel and be comfortable knowing that my fur babies were in good hands. I would request Melanie in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience and genuine love for animals. I have two family dogs of my own who live back home with my parents, and I’ve been dog sitting since I was 12. Being away from my dogs makes me miss having that animal love around, so I would truly enjoy giving your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own! Pet care fits really well into my daily routine because my class schedule is pretty flexible and gives me plenty of time throughout the day. On Mondays, my class is from 6–9 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30–11:30 AM, and Wednesdays from 12–1 PM. This leaves me available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care! I care for every pet as if they were my own and always make sure to follow the owner’s specific routine and instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure their pet feels comfortable by keeping up with their normal feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any other care they need. I also love giving them plenty of attention and affection so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away!
About: I grew up with animals my whole life. I got my first cat and dog as an adult when I was 21 years old. Since then I've always had animals, including a few rabbits along the way. In our household, I'm the one who feeds and bathes our dogs because I've been a stay-at-home mom for years. I've been through the senior years of pets so I understand the extra care they can require and I'm comfortable giving them medicine. I've also been through the puppy phase multiple times, and I've even been through multiple dog pregnancies with my current two doggy fur babies. I'm not currently working because I've been a stay-at-home mom for many years so I have plenty of time to take care of other pets. If I take a job in the future, it'll be remote so I can still have flexibility in my schedule. I'm comfortable crating a pet if that's what you want (I've had a couple of dogs that were destructive as young pups so they had to be crated in their younger years). I would also enjoy spending time outside in a fenced yard with your dogs.
“She's attentive, quick to respond, responsible with the details, and my dogs treat her like she's Mary Poppins. While out of town for days and without even a signal on my cell phone, I had zero worries for my dog's care”
About: I’ve had pets in my home since I was 3 years old. I’ve had the opportunity to home dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and fish. I have more recent experience with cats, however I love dogs too! https://www.rover.com/sit/fridam62416 I work a seasonal job, so at most 2-3 days a week! I am a full time online university student, which gives me plenty of time to engage with your loved ones. I live on a spacious, open 2 acre plot of land in Blanchard. I do not have a fence, however I will always monitor your fur baby if outside and can cage if needed. My neighborhood has plenty of other dogs that love to go on walks/doggy playtime with each other in the evenings!

Your fur babies will have tons of space to chill and get some exercise. I'll take them on walks and make sure they get plenty of playtime.
“We had an unexpected trip pop up the week before Christmas. Michelle accepted our request to pet sit even though we did not give her 24 hours notice. She came by and did a meet and greet the same day we contacted her and was taking care of our pets within 24 hours. She was very communicative and took lots of pics for us since we were nervous leaving them. We have already told Michelle that we would like to hire her for a trip this summer. She was excellent.”
About: Hey pet parents!!! It’s Jaci your pets’ new best friend! I’ve always had a big heart for dogs and truly enjoy being around them. I’m a loving, patient, and dependable person who enjoys giving dogs plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I would make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I work as a full-time bartender but it’s very flexible so it gives me lots of free time to walk and sit dogs throughout most days. Then as clients become more regular it’ll be easier working them into a weekly routine. I used to have multiple dogs in the house that I would have to take care of, so I’m used to being in a group of large dogs and taking care of them all at once.
About: I grew up on a small farm in Oklahoma, so animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and currently have a little 10-pound poodle named Duke. He’s super friendly, well-behaved, and loves being around other animals. Over the years, I’ve regularly watched pets for family and friends, everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra TLC. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I truly enjoy making animals feel comfortable and cared for. Now that I’m offering my services on Rover, I’m excited to meet even more furry friends (and their humans!). Duke and I are looking forward to making new connections. Connect with me for a meet and greet. I'm a lifelong animal lover and dependable sitter based in Oklahoma City. Whether it's snuggles on the couch, long walks, or keeping your pet's routine just right, I’m here to help you travel worry free. I have a very flexible hybrid work schedule, and my office is only a mile from home. This allows me to easily stop by during lunch or whenever your pet needs extra care and attention. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals of all ages. Friends and family know me as the “go-to pet aunt,” and now I’m excited to offer that same care to your furry family members. I’m responsible, respectful of your home, and always make sure pets feel safe and loved. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never have to wonder how things are going. I love taking photos by the way. Let’s connect! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and learn how I can provide the best care for them. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like my own and do my best to keep their routine consistent, calm, and stress free. I keep a close eye on all pets in my care, especially during walks or playtime, and I’m mindful of their behavior and energy levels. Duke is gentle and well behaved, so he helps create a peaceful environment for visiting pets. I also take the responsibility of caring for your home seriously. If I’m house sitting, you can expect clear communication, updates, and total respect for your space.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for 25+ animals, so I’m calm, patient, and confident in situations most sitters aren’t. I don’t just ‘watch’ pets, I understand behavior, routines, and how to keep them safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I’m available for pet care in the evenings after 3 PM on weekdays, with flexible availability on weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to accommodate consistent schedules or last-minute bookings when needed. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and familiar. I follow all feeding, cleaning, and medication instructions closely, maintain a clean space, and give each pet attention at their comfort level. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was a child. I have vast experience with anxious or nervous dogs and ones with high energy. I have cared for dogs from Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to Great Danes, Mastiffs, and Huskies and currently regularly dog sit two dogs. I have taken care of puppies as well as older dogs with special needs including two diabetic dachshunds that went blind. I also have no issue with changing diapers for dogs as needed! I am currently available any time except for Tuesdays from 1:30pm to 3pm for pet care! I don’t mind checking on pets very early or very late in the day either! I prefer to meet the client/pet prior to beginning pet sitting to ensure I can ask all necessary questions for their care. I have experience with anxious animals and am fast at picking up on each animals specific preferences.

FAQs for House Sitting - Middleberg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 545 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Middleberg. 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 Middleberg 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 Middleberg 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 Middleberg 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 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.

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.
