“Liana was fantastic! She stepped in when I was in a pinch leaving my new puppy for the first time. From the in-home consultation to helping me navigate the app, she went above and beyond. She was super responsive throughout the process, sent cute photos throughout the night, and took wonderful care of my pup. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“Brittany was great to work with! She was communicative, arrived on time and was very responsible and engaging with my dogs. She sent us pictures during her visit and everyone was happy when we came home! We would definitely book pet sitting with Brittany again!”

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.
“Yana took the time to visit with our family before staying at our home with Charlie. He had instantly taken to her gentle manner which made us feel so comfortable. She exercised patience with his sometimes stubborn but lovable manner. We loved her daily texts with pictures outlining how the day went. I feel at ease knowing she is caring for our Charlie.”


“Calli was great and did everything as instructed, she was our first experience with Rover and did great with our two dogs and cat. It was great to enjoy vacation without worrying about our pets with Calli there watching them.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, from large Rottweilers and Pit Bulls to small Yorkies, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also love cats and reptiles and enjoy caring for all kinds of animals. I’m dependable, responsible, and take every pet’s care seriously. You can count on me to be punctual, communicative, and consistent with your pet’s routine. I’m flexible and always happy to give your pets the attention, playtime, and care they deserve! 🐾 As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability in the mornings and afternoons, as well as on weekends. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my routine and give each pet the time, attention, and care they need. 🐾 I’m comfortable traveling to clients’ homes and caring for their pets in their familiar environment. I’m respectful of each home and always make sure to follow the pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any other instructions provided. I’m responsible, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their families are away. 🐾
“Rwitika is simply outstanding in all respects whether caring, sense of responsibility, attitude, everything. We will look forward to contact her again as and when we need Brady’s care during our absence.”

“We had such a great experience with Kayla. Our dog struggles with separation anxiety, but Kayla did such a great job to calm his nerves. She was very patient with him and went out of her way to do a meet and greet prior to the appointment. He had such a good time! Highly recommend.”


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
“Diana took great care of our two labs, Grace and Beau, while we were away for an overnight trip. She was attentive to their routine and kept us well-informed through messages and pictures. We are extremely satisfied with Diana’s work and won’t hesitate to call on her again for future dog care. Highly recommend her for your consideration.”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for 7 years for family, friends, and clients, and I absolutely love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work as a gym manager, which allows me flexibility throughout the day since I typically start work later in the morning. I am also able to step away during the day for walks, check-ins, feeding, and quality time with your pets.

Because of my later start time, I am available in the mornings for walks, feedings, and check-ins. I am also able to step away during my lunch break to check on pets, let them out, or spend some quality time with them. I have flexibility throughout the week, and I am available on weekends as well. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific instructions they provide. I also make sure to be respectful of their home by keeping things clean and treating their space with care. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know each animal and provide them with the attention, affection, and exercise they need. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their animals and home are being well taken care of. At this time, I primarily offer care in the client’s home, including drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins.

We are so happy to have found Alex! Our dogs absolutely love spending time with him and he is genuinely so nice and provides amazing care to our boys! Follows perfect instructions and is very thoughtful and honest. I feel completely safe that our dogs are under his care and that is priceless to us! One of my favorite things Alex does is that he sends us pictures of our boys while we’re away and they always look right at home. We are so appreciative of him and his love for our babies 🩵
Leslie did an amazing job house and pet sitting for us. We have used her for a few years in a row now and she is so great. She is super reliable, takes care of our pet like she is her own, brings in the mail and packages, waters our many, many plants, and even fixed our air conditioning! She checks in regularly and is a great communicator. I can not recommend Leslie highly enough for both pet and house sitting.

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 Middlesex 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 Middlesex 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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!

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.
