“I quickly rebooked Chloe for the holiday—she is phenomenal! She really does go above and beyond to make sure my cat is spoiled and loved while I am away, e.g., she surprised him with treats and made an extra drop-in on Christmas Day just to say hi! Chloe is attentive, respectful, and bubbly. I am very grateful to have met her and cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Chloe!”
“David is always reliable, and we enjoy our time away from home knowing our boys are well taken care of, especially with special dietary needs for our senior cat. We get the cutest pictures and timely updates. The boys are fed, played with, and have all the care needed to keep them comfortable. We couldn’t ask for better care and support when we’re away!”
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: Growing up, my family and I lived on a small farm with tons of animals, including horses, cows, chickens, cats, and of course, little dogs. I was taught from a very young age that any living thing should be respected and treated properly. Puppies and kittens have been in my life for as long as I can remember, and my love for them has only grown over the years. Pet care is part of our everyday routine. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home most of the day. We have a fully fenced yard that’s just under half an acre, and my kids and I spend a lot of time outside playing with our pets. They get plenty of exercise, attention, and love every day. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention. I also keep their space clean and always make their safety and comfort a priority.
“Anoti was amazing!!!! She came to visit and took care of Onyx while I went to my sister wedding. onyx looked happy when Anoti sent photos and she even heated up onyx food for dinner time. I would definitely use Anoti again!”
“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! :)”
“Administered meds to my cat, accommodating and asks questions I didn’t even think of. I was worried about being away from my precious baby Rosie and they made the visit feel stress free.”
“Holly is wonderful! She is kind & patient with my dogs and communicative. I always receive detailed updates when she cares for my dogs and adorable pictures. I would recommend her without hesitation, thank you Holly!!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion for animals. I’ve cared for birds, dogs, and currently have two cats. I truly love having pets in my life and always provide attentive, compassionate care. Whether it’s a playful pup, a curious bird, or a shy cat, I treat every animal with patience and respect, making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I currently am a pilot with my commercial license, and I’m studying and getting ready for my next license. I occasionally do DoorDash, but aside from that you could find me at home hitting the books, cuddling with my cats, and occasionally going on one to two hour flights to practice my skills. This job is perfect for me because I love animals, I have the time to care for them, which includes making frequent visits, overnight care, and whatever else is needed. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable space filled with love and attention. I keep their routines consistent, including feeding, playtime, and rest. With two cats of my own, I’m experienced in creating a calm environment and managing litter boxes thoroughly. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual routine and comfort. I make sure to give plenty of affection and engagement, keep the space clean, and communicate regularly with the owner to share updates and any observations. I’m super playful and active with my cats—I love keeping them engaged with toys and games. I also enjoy going on walks myself, and if my cats didn’t hate going on walks, they’d be my perfect walking buddies! While I can’t take my cats on strolls, I’m all about making sure your pets get the right amount of exercise and fun, whether it’s playtime at home or walks outside. I also love teaching pets new tricks and spoiling them with toys and treats—because every pet deserves a little extra fun and love.
“Ronit is a life saver! I recently rescued a Maltipoo on 8/24, Ronit met with myself and Mia the next Saturday. We connected right away and booked! Ronit has come in twice a day to check on Mia and walk her while I work in the office. Mia loves Ronit and it’s evident in the pictures and videos documented by Ronit. Ronit is communicative and provides relevant updates on Mia. Ronit definitely has me at ease with taking care of my Mia.”
“Laura is great! She is reliable, trustworthy and responsive. Most importantly, she got my shy kitten to come out from under his hiding spot! I will be using her services again in the future for sure!”
“Kelley was great with my pup. She followed all care instructions and gave him lots of attention. Communication was great and she was very responsive. I'll be booking with her again!”
About: Hello! My name is Angie and I am a huge lover of all dogs! I enjoy the company of dogs, playing with them, and just caring for them. I have many years of prior experience when it comes to taking care of dogs and walking them. I will assure your dog the best time while they are with me! My schedule is very flexible meaning I can give the full care your dog needs. If I’m not home, then my sisters are home. One thing that I can promise you is the safety and great care your dog will be under! I treat any guest dog like they are part of my family. My clients will always be informed about their dogs stay. Your dog's happiness and safety are my top priorities! I can do 2-3 visits daily, I follow any feeding and care instructions that are given to me, I can handle multiple pets at a time I care for pets as if they were my own, I have a strong love for animals. Since I don’t have any of my own anymore I love to meet new pets and build that trusting relationship. I’m very patient, and accommodating.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 12 years old. I’ve pet-sat for many people in my life, from Shih Tzus, to black labs, to cats, and chickens! I love going on long walks outside, or just spending time chilling with a more peaceful pet inside! I truly love animals and will treat your pet like they’re my own! As a current college student, I have a very flexible schedule. My classes are spread out throughout the day, which makes it easy to check on or walk pets multiple times during the day. I have availability all throughout the morning, afternoon, and weekday! In your home, I make sure to take care of your pet and also your space! I recognize that it’s a big ask to let a stranger into your home to watch the animals you love so much, so I understand if you want to meet first! When walking or pet sitting, I truly see them like my own! I love to know as much information as you can give me about their preferences, behaviors, likes and dislikes so I can adjust accordingly.

I had such a wonderful experience with Hiral while I was on vacation in Puerto Rico! She took amazing care of my dog and truly went above and beyond. I felt so comfortable and happy knowing my fur baby was in such good hands. I highly recommend her! 🐾❤️ will definitely be working with her in the future
I can't recommend Cindy enough! She went above and beyond while caring for my cat. From regular updates to making sure every detail was taken care of, she made being away so much less stressful. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. My cat was relaxed, happy, and well looked after when I returned. Thank you, Cindy!
Heather was wonderful and took great care of my cats. She was very kind, kept me updated, and sent me multiple pictures throughout her visit. She even managed to get my shy cat to come out and eat, which is not something many people are able to do! I really appreciated her care and attention. I will definitely be booking with her again! (:
Maria was amazing!! She was so kind and patient with my sweet (albeit difficult) cat! My cat has a bunch of health issues, and Maria did a wonderful job navigating them, including giving her meds! She kept in contact with me, sending pictures and updates that really helped put my mind at ease while I was travelling, knowing that my cat was in good hands! She was quick to respond to both my booking request and my questions, and was willing to set up a meet-and-greet with me and my cat, so that I knew she was in good hands. This is the most relaxing vacation I’ve had in years, knowing that my high-needs cat was in good hands. I will never book anybody else!!! She was so kind and patient, and my cat really liked her too! Maria did a wonderful job, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for somebody trustworthy to check in on their pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Middlesex is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $42 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 21,232 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Middlesex. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Middlesex. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
