About: I have always had a dog in my life for 20 years, and it makes me so happy! I love meeting new dogs and being able to play and care for them. I am currently a full time college student! Due to schooling, I can do any walks from 9am-12:30pm everyday, and from 4pm-10pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, 6pm-10pm Tuesdays and Thursday, with open availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays! Message me with any questions! I like to take my own dog on walks (even though he chooses the path) and love to give him baths. I’ve taken care of other dogs before through friends.

About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up, I raised and cared for dogs and many other household pets, which taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness from a young age. One of my earliest experiences was helping care for a mother dog and her newborn puppies. Since moving to the United States 15 years ago, I have regularly helped friends and neighbors care for their pets while they were away. In my professional life, I have been an elementary school teacher for the past ten years. My experience working with children has strengthened my ability to be patient, observant, dependable, and responsive to individual needs. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention that I would give to a member of my own family. I am a full-time elementary school teacher during the school year. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day to provide care, supervision, companionship, and exercise for dogs. Because I am home for most of the day during summer break, I can accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for while you are away. I live in an end-unit townhouse in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby walking paths, parks, and green spaces. My home provides a calm and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel secure. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and daily routines. I supervise pets closely, keep them on leash during walks unless otherwise directed in a secure area, and make safety my top priority at all times. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to provide individualized care that helps them feel at home.

About: What sets my sister and me apart is the personal care and communication we provide. We understand that every pet has their own personality, habits, and needs, so we carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any special preferences. We have a spacious yard for supervised outdoor time and aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel at home while their family is away. We treat every pet as if they were part of our own family and give them individualized attention. We also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents. During every stay, we provide regular photos and videos and keep communication open so you can see how your pet is doing. Our goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free from drop-off to pickup. My sister and I work together to provide reliable and attentive care for every pet we welcome. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. My sister also helps with pet care, so between the two of us, pets receive lots of attention and companionship. We make pet care a natural part of our daily routine and always try to keep each pet as close to their normal schedule as possible. Whether your pet loves long walks, backyard playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing nearby, we make sure they feel comfortable, included, and cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), exercise, and any special instructions. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment, supervise pets at all times, and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I take the time to build trust with each pet, allowing them to adjust at their own pace and using positive reinforcement to help them feel safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve always loved animals and naturally get along with them. I have two cats of my own and I’m also comfortable around dogs through my family. I’m patient, gentle, and good at giving pets time to feel comfortable around me, especially shy or nervous ones. I’m happy to follow their usual routines and give them plenty of attention and care. I’m home most of the day, so my schedule is fairly flexible and I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and care. I’m able to fit walks, drop-ins, and pet care into my daily routine while keeping a manageable schedule so I can give each pet the time and attention they need. I care for pets in their own home by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, give them attention and playtime, clean up after them, and provide walks or potty breaks when needed. I also make sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away.

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life and have a deep passion for their well-being. I previously owned and operated a successful pet sitting and dog walking business, Barkin’ Good Time, for five years. My experience also includes having worked at Pet Valu and earning a certificate in pet nutrition. Today, I continue to care for my own senior dog, two cats, 7 fancy rats, and a chinchilla, as well as regularly looking after pets for neighbors, friends, and family. Whether it’s a walk, a playdate, or overnight care, I’m dedicated to ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I run a small business with a flexible schedule, so I can offer pet care primarily during weekday hours. My availability is adaptable to meet the needs of you and your pets! I provide attentive, in-home care for your pets, ensuring their safety and comfort in their own environment. I follow your routines, respect your home, and prioritize trust, reliability, and open communication.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family was always surrounded by pets. Dogs, turtles, bunnies and even the neighborhood squirrels and deer seemed to know our house was a safe place to visit! I truly believe every living thing deserves love and care, and that's a value that was instilled in me early on. We were never able to have a dog of our own growing up since we lived in a rental, but now that I have my own home, I'm so excited to finally be able to care for dogs the way I've always wanted to. I have hands-on experience. I’ve stayed overnight for two weeks to care for a friend’s dog, handling feeding, walks, and all-around care. My relatives also have dogs of all different sizes and breeds, so I'm very comfortable and confident around dogs of any type. I’ve also cat sat for my close teacher for about a month several times as well. Even when a dog isn't mine, I make it a point to visit, bring treats, and make them feel special and I bring that same love and attention to every dog I care for. Your pup will get lots of playtime, cuddles, and kisses, and I'll make sure they feel completely comfortable and at ease with me from day one! I am currently working and taking classes remotely and so I’ll have plenty of time to spend time and take care of the dogs. In my home, your dog gets a comfortable space, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles, just like part of the family. In your home, I follow your dog's normal routine closely, from feeding times to walks, so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Either way, my goal is the same: your dog feels loved and cared for like their own

I communicate regularly with owners and prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I have fenced in yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company.

Michael has been absolutely wonderful with our doggo! He has such a care and attention to her needs, and even helped out when she got into trouble and got into our pantry lol. We have a reactive dog, and he's been great with taking her for walks and managing her energy and needs safely. We can tell that she is very comfortable with him, and would recommend Micheal to anyone with a furry friend! :)

About: Hi, my name is Amanda and I adopted my beagle, Honey, last year. I grew up with cats and dogs, and understand that pets are part of the family. I have experience with kittens, cats, and anxious dogs. My specialty is small to medium sized dogs. I walk and train with my dog every day. We completed all the obedience training programs at PetSmart and we participate in agility classes and ecollar training programs. I understand the importance of training as well as caring for the animal with love and patience. I work from home, so my schedule is quite flexible. I walk my dog for about 20 minutes between 8-9am, and then again in the evening from 5pm-7pm. I have a friendly 1.5year old beagle at home who would love to play and snuggle with your pup. I would separate them via dog gate or crating during meal time. We would go for a pack walk and have designated nap time in their crates. Additionally, I would crate both dogs overnight for safety purposes.

About: I grew up caring for my family's black labs my entire life. I currently own two beautiful baby Shih Tzus, Tony & Guiness with my beautiful fiancé. They add so much joy to our lives and are a big part of our growing family. I invest a lot of time and effort into training them daily, to build trust and give them the best lives possible. Taking care of the animals in my life is a passion of mine, and I treat every pet like it's my own. I'm currently making pet care my full time job. After years of training athletes, I'm opting for a career that is rewarding in different ways. I'm available any time Monday through Friday and occasionally a weekend if I'm around and if it's a good fit. My apartment complex has many areas to walk outside, with sidewalks and open grass areas where I walk my boys. There is also a spacious indoor dog park in the basement of my complex where I take them to play, especially on rainy days. We do training both indoors and on walks outside, individually and as a family. I also expose my dogs to as many experiences as possible, bringing them to community events, outdoor dining, and social gatherings. Our family does not believe in leaving pets home alone all day every day, and want to give them as much stimulation and social interaction as possible.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs, including puppies, senior dogs, and multiple dogs at once. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while making sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or providing gentle care for a senior dog, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I do volunteer work three times a week, but it’s only about 15 minutes from home, so I’m still able to accommodate pet care before or after volunteering. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for walks and drop-ins throughout the week at all hours For now, I provide walks and drop-in visits in my clients’ homes. I make sure each pet is comfortable, cared for, and follows their usual routine as closely as possible. During drop-ins, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s individual needs. For walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and properly exercised.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Middlesex

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Middlesex on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 20,147 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Middlesex. 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 Middlesex 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.

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 Middlesex 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Middlesex with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Middlesex. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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.
