“We just moved to the Middleburg area. I needed to find a sitter to stay with our beloved dogs. When we met Renee, we knew she was the sitter for us. She went above and beyond from my dogs and for our home. Will definitely be booking with Renee again. She came in as our pet sitter but left as family.”
“Autumn responded immediately to watch my fur baby while I made an urgent trip to visit my Aunt in the hospital. When I first met her, I saw she was a genuine person who was happy to meet me and our puppy. I needed someone I could trust during a family emergency and her kindness took away a lot of the stress. She even asked about my Aunt. I can't thank her enough for responding to the call and providing the care we needed.”
About: Hello. I am a lifelong dog owner and dog carer. I have owned a Brittany Spaniel, and a Shischon from puppy-stage through the end of their lives. Currently I care for a senior Lab and middle-aged German Shephard/Rotweiler mix, both belonging to my daughter who lives in Jacksonville with her husband and my 18-month old grand-son with another expected in November. I've been a Rover client and sitter off and on since 2018. I've not been active for almost 5 years during which time I've worked as a freelance researcher on almost a full-time basis. The demand for that work is shifting and I want to return to dog/house-sitting to supplement my income. I am comfortable walking, visiting and house-sitting small- and medium-size dogs, including senior dogs, and am experienced with giving medicine. I have a BS in Business Administration and 30+ years of work experience in the legal services industry. I am a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend. I love to walk outside, grill, and sit beside a fire. I'm an SEC fan, so fall is my favorite time of year! I want to acknowledge the one negative client review regarding a client's senior dog. I was hired for drop-in visits . I let time get away from me for two visits. One of the things that Rover does well is notify dog owners know when their sitter/carer is onsite. The owner notified me when I did not arrive within a reasonable time of the scheduled time and I immediately went to the client site. The dog was fine but the owner was obviously alarmed and terminated the relationship. I take full responsibility for those lapses and they will not happen again. I ask for the opportunity to meet you and your pet and discuss if this is a good fit for us all. Kind regards, Suzanne I am a freelance researcher and work remotely from home. I have full schedule flexibility enabling me to meet your pets' daily schedule for feeding and walks. I am able to be present in my client's home throughout the day and night, available to your pet(s) as needed. I enjoy taking them for walk, playing with them and cuddling with them. I'm generally good with letting them sleep with me, depending on their size and temperament.
About: I volunteered at Dogs Forever in Cedar Rapids, IA for about a year before I moved to the area. I would walk, feed, water, clean up after, and best of all, love on all the shelter dogs during my volunteer shifts. Pets are my passion. I have always had dogs growing up. Currently I have 2 dogs, Boomer and Miya. I'm very flexible with my schedule. I would like to make this something I do full time. I look forward to meeting you and your fur family! I am not currently able to have other pets in my home/yard because one of my dogs has really bad social anxiety and doesn't do well with new pups or humans.
“Allyson was amazing taking care of our furry baby!! She sent photos and gave us updates. We are happy to have her care for our Eli whenever she is available! Thank you Allyson!!!”
“Mackenzie was absolutely wonderful with Turbo! Leaving him behind when we go away is never easy, but she made us feel so comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was so sweet, caring, and attentive, and it was clear that Turbo was happy and comfortable with her. It means so much to find someone who genuinely loves animals and treats your dog like their own. Being able to enjoy our time away knowing Turbo was being loved and cared for gave us such peace of mind. We’re so thankful we found Mackenzie and will absolutely be having her watch Turbo again. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I go beyond just watching pets. I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have hands-on experience fostering animals from local shelters, which has taught me how to be patient and adapt to different personalities and needs. I stick closely to each pet’s routine, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and always send photo updates so you know they’re in good hands. I have 4 cats please know that they are ALWAYS separated no matter what animal comes over, they have their own room and no animals will meet. House Sitting: I’m available for 24 hour check in visits, but I do not stay overnight in clients’ homes. I’m very flexible and can provide multiple visits throughout the day and night. I’m home most of the time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention, so pets aren’t left alone for long and can stick to their normal routine as much as possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention based on each pet’s needs. At my home, I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I also send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Hi there! My name is Adrianna, and I’ve been around animals my whole life—I’ve had pets since I was 3 years old and started pet sitting when I was 8 for family friends. I truly love and adore animals, and I always treat them like my own. Whether your pet needs medication, shots, feeding, overnight care, a cozy place to relax, walks, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority! Let me know how I can care for your furry (or not-so-furry) friend! I have four dogs and four cats, and my animals mean everything to me. Every morning, I feed all of them and prepare special food for one dog with multiple allergies. One cat requires injections, and three of my dogs need daily medication. I consistently take the dogs outside to use the bathroom and make sure all of my animals receive the love, care, and attention they need and want. I am willing to do anything for my animals and other animals that aren’t mine. I had to give cats and dogs medicine in any kind of way. With oral, anal ways, ear canal, soaps & shots.
About: Ever since I was little animals have been part of my life. Until 2019 I decided to add two new babies into my own family. I have one dog and one cat they will be turn 7 this year. I’m very proud of what I’ve learned through the process of teaching my animal the basics as well as the advanced tricks. I usually take my dog out every 2-3 hours, walk him twice a week and feed him twice a day since his a growing boy. When your animal is in my care I’ll treat him or her the way I treat my furry babies. I can’t wait to meet your babies and helping you with walking, sitting or watching over them.
About: Me and my family have rescued more than a dozen dogs and cats in the past, nurturing the sick ones es back to health and finding good homes for them. I am retired so I have all the time in the world, I am also located near a park about 1 minute walk from my house, besides I have a fenced in yard. I follow clients feeding schedule for their pets and will take them out for frequent walks every 2-3 hours. If needed I will bath their pets.
About: I have experience with all types of animals from small to large! I don’t remember a time in my life where we did not own and care for animals! I have cared for horses, goats, chickens, rodents, cats, and dogs. I have experience with animals with specials needs as I have a dog that has seizures, a diabetic cat, and a rescue who is very timid with humans; so I have a lot of understanding and patience with all animals. I can administer insulin and give oral medication to both dogs and cats if required. I am open to meeting you and your pet ahead of any care so that you can meet me and feel comfortable with me watching your beloved pets! Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. I currently work part time on the week days usually only 2-3 days a week and only between the hours of 8-5. My days rotate every other week In your home I can do any routine with your pet that you normally do. Scheduling feeding times, potty breaks, play time in the yard, medications, or anything else they may require. In my home I do have two dogs who love every dog they meet, and a cat who keeps to himself most of the time but does fine with other pets. They have all been around plenty of other animals. We do have a very well fenced back yard. Unfortunately at the moment I will probably not be taking in our home care as we our doing renovations so our house is a bit of a mess for guests.
About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Tessa! I’ve recently taken over my mom’s Rover account and relocated to Gainesville for college. I’ve been around and caring for dogs and cats for years, both my own and pets for families in my community. I’m excited to continue providing the same loving, reliable care to families here in Gainesville! From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and following detailed instructions to make sure everyone feels safe, happy, and comfortable. 🌟 What Sets Me Apart Personalized Care – I give each pet plenty of individual attention, playtime, cuddles, and care based on their personality and routine. Reliable & Responsible – I’m organized, dependable, and take pet care seriously. You can feel confident knowing your pets are in good hands while you’re away. Experience With All Ages – I’m comfortable with playful puppies, energetic dogs, senior pets, and everything in between. Patient & Adaptable – Whether your pet is shy, energetic, or needs a little extra attention, I take the time to understand what makes them comfortable. 🐶 Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them that way! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends and helping make your time away stress-free. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I now have a much more flexible schedule. I’m no longer tied to a 9–5 office job, which means I can be available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends to fit your pet’s needs. I love being active and getting outside, so daily walks, playtime, and check-ins are part of my own lifestyle. Whether it’s midday potty breaks, overnight care, or consistent drop-ins, I can adjust to your pet’s routine and keep things stress-free while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I double-check that doors, gates, and crates are secure, and I’m mindful about keeping food, toys, and medications safe and organized. If pets are in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I keep a clean space, provide fresh water and cozy rest areas, and ensure all pets are safe and comfortable. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and attention to detail, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life.. I have been the sole owner/operator for the past 10 years of a local pet sitting & walking business. I have taken care of all types and sizes of dogs, from small chihuahua size to small or large laberdoodles to great danes. I have experience in working with dogs who are stubborn eaters, and regular age dogs to senior dogs who require medication and extra care. My rates are very competitive. From a $35 daily walk/check in while at work or have a longer event to attend to a standard overnight which includes a 10 hour overnight stay, like 8pm-6am with 1 mid day potty/meal break which is $85 If you need a longer overnight stay like 20 hours round the clock/constant concierge care at your house then the rate will be $100 per night. I have a fabulous list of references from clients that have been with me for anywhere from 4 to the full 10 years in operation. I'm currently only doing 1 weekly dog walking job, unfortunately due to the heartbreaking recent loss of one of my longest daily walking and sitting clients. My current daily walking job is only 3 days a week, any 3 days between M-F and is only for 30/35 mins and can be done anytime between 11am to 3pm. The rest of the time I am currently available and due to the flexibility of the current job, I have a very open availability. I only take dogs on leashed walks and during temperatures that are safe for the dog's health. I'm very respectful of what the parents want and specific details for the happiness of their dog. I'm very attentive when I'm with the dog to make sure they are safe at all times. I do in client's home sitting for almost all my clients, and they live it. They will verify trustworthiness, loyalty and respect of their home. I also trying to make it affordable compared to the average median for Jacksonville, FL.
“Ashley stayed with our pack of floofs for two weeks while my husband and I were out of the country. She treated our pets like her own and took wonderful care of our home. We received regular updates and photos and felt very at ease knowing all was taken care of. Highly recommend contacted Ashley, whether for check-ins on your animals, or full on house and pet sitting needs.”

“Lily took great care of Yogi!!! My husband and I felt comfortable being out of town knowing Yogi was in good hands. She was also communicative and gave us daily updates and photos, which I love!!”
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was little. I currently dog sit in my neighborhood as Well as walk them. I’m good with all animals as I have 4 dogs of my own and 2 cats. I love every animal as if it was my own. I believe that when you have a fur baby they are just like your kid. Your pet would have all around care. Playing , loving , and even just being there with them while you are away. Every pet deserves a companion . I walk mine everyday as I feel excercise is important . These dogs are considered part of my family so they are spoiled and loved on all the time.
“Leanne is very responsive and most important great with my baby. TedE hasn't had many people that I allow to look after him, but I would 100% have Leanne stay with again and recommend her. Within minutes TedE felt comfortable enough to roll over and let her rub his belly. When I returned home he was content and not anxious at all. She sent pictures which eased my nerves and let me see he was doing just fine. Looking forward to the next time. Thank you Leanne!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Middleburg
Ryan was wonderful for accepting my sitting request at the last minute. I missed the meet and greet due to a hair appointment that ran over, but he followed the directions I left perfectly. I was concerned when he asked to allow his girlfriend to come over at the last minute but when I saw her interaction with my big baby, I was relieved. Ryan was very polite and did a wonderful job of keeping my dogs separated as I requested. I would not hesitate to hire him again. The house was left spotless and the dogs eating bowls were cleaned. No complaints here at all. I am very very picky. The pricing for the sitting was a little high, but you get what you pay for sometimes and Ryan and his girlfriend did a good job to include bringing the mail in and watering my garden for me. I highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Middleburg is $29 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $45 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 1,207 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Middleburg. 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 Middleburg 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 Middleburg 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 Middleburg 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Middleburg. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
