About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, along with my reliability and attention to detail. As a nurse, I provide compassionate care every day and understand how important it is to make others feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am experienced in following detailed instructions, maintaining routines, and staying calm in unexpected situations. I’m also comfortable caring for pets who need medications or extra attention. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of love, patience, and companionship while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in caring and responsible hands. As a full-time nurse working night shift, I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. On my days off, I have even more availability for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I understand the importance of consistency and routine for pets, and I make sure they receive attentive, reliable care while their owners are away. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I try to follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, administer medications if needed, take dogs for walks and potty breaks, clean up after them, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
About: For my 10th birthday I got a golden retriever. She was my best friend and sparked such a love for animals in me. I’ve taken care of every farm animal you could think of, every kind of dog ranging in every size, I love all cats and have cared for many as well! I’m doing schooling online and I’m extremely flexible on a day to day basis and on weekends as well. I wake up early and go to sleep early typically so I can adjust to whatever feeding schedule any animal may be on. I have a very large property with woods and lots of room to run around. I live on a road I take daily walks on. I have a large house and a barn outside as well. I’m flexible depending on what your fur baby is most comfortable with. I can offer a lot of exercise, cuddles, they can sleep in a crate if that makes them comfortable or they can sleep out of the crate.
“Raquel did everything asked of her and then some. She was super easy to work with, made sure Winnie had plenty of time to go potty/ eat and took sooo many great photos of her during her visit! Thanks, Raquel!”
“She is perfect! She responded quickly and even tho I was booking last minute she fit me in to her schedule. Our first time I booked an in home visit and a 30 minute walk with Ann, I had seen such a huge difference in my dog queen when I got home! Not only that but I had went outside for break and just so happened to see her and Queen walking across the street. I got to see how nice and soft-spoken she was to queen and how safe and attentive she was towards her.I am extremely satisfied and and will be booking regular weekly visits! She is great with animals and I highly recommend her. I can't express enough how grateful I am and how much of a difference she made for queen.❤️❤️”

“I really appreciate Devin’s availability and willingness to respond to me when I blew up her phone ;) I literally could not find a pet sitter in this area that would respond to me. I have a lot of anxiety about leaving my dogs, and so it was nice to have someone who responded so quickly. (On a semi-unrelated note to pet sitting, she also took really cute pictures of my dogs which was helpful to my daughter while we were gone).”
“Alerie was amazing. She really understands dogs. We have a Great Dane and she knew right away at the meet and greet how to Introduce herself. We spent the day away knowing our babies were in good hands. Thank you so much again. Highly recommend!!!”
About: I am currently unavailable until April 8th, 2020 due to a study service trip with Goshen College. Feel free to contact me, but know you will not receive a response until April 8th. Thank you for understanding. I have no professional experience with dog care, however I have cared for numerous pets over the last 15 years of my life (I'm 21 now) and have loved every bit of it. I am looking to get some extra cash by doing something I love while in college. I love taking dogs to the park to play for hours and then snuggling up with them later because they are so tired. It's my favorite thing to do is tire a dog out so much that all it does is want to sleep later (kind of like a kid, haha). Really just looking for an excuse to spend time with animals. Professionally speaking, I am a student in college studying Sociology and Psychology. I am a part time lifeguard/supervisor, a swim coach, and part time data and research assistant at a local nonprofit organization. I anticipate a Spring 2020 graduation
About: Hi, I'm Jaela! I’m an elementary school teacher, and animals of all ages and sizes have been the absolute center of my world for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by a wide variety of animals, which taught me from a very young age how to read animal body language, handle different temperaments, and provide compassionate, patient care. Throughout high school and college, I regularly watched and walked dogs and cats. I love house sitting because it allows your pets to stay completely relaxed in their own environment while maintaining their exact daily routines. I come from a family of veterinarians, so I grew up immersed in the world of animal health, safety, and care. As a full-time elementary school teacher, summer is my favorite time for pet care! Because I am on summer break, my schedule is completely wide open. Your pets get my undivided attention, structured routines, and endless love right at home.🏠❤️ As an educator, structure and safety are second nature to me. I focus on keeping your pet’s exact routine. I provide consistent feeding, fresh water, medication if needed, plenty of playtime, and lots of love. I treat your home with total respect, keeping it clean, secure, and tidy while sending you regular photo updates!📷🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 472 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Middlebury. 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 Middlebury 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Middlebury. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
