“Leah did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty while we were away. Showed up on time, and our Elric gained weight while we were away, so she obviously fed him well. Look forward to engaging her again for future catsitting.”
“Aubrey was wonderful, responsive, reliable, and took great care of my kitty while I was out of town around thanksgiving! She went above and beyond to make sure the little quirks and preferences my cat has were taken care of (water from a sink, some time outside in an enclosed area, etc). Also appreciated the regular updates, the report cards through Rover, and the pictures she sent! Would absolutely recommend her and will use her for future kitty sitting needs! Thanks, Aubrey!:)”
“Josie is amazing! She is such a good sport when my pup climbs all over her like a billy goat to give her kisses and hugs! Also it’s so cute when her son comes and gives my pup extra pets too!”
“Samantha genuinely loves animals and it shows, she uses the ‘dog mom voice’, she gets down at my dog’s level to play, and is so careful about health quirks. I would recommend her to anyone with a pet looking for a sitter!”
“Christine is always a reliable and trustworthy sitter. She has taken care of my two cats several times over the last couple years, and I will continue to book with her whenever I am able!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life. I have pet sat for family and friends since I was a teenager. I have done a little of everything from potty breaks, walks, to over night stays. I do have a full-time job 9-5:30 but have time in the morning, evenings, and weekends. Also my job will have a remote option in 2027 give me more flexibility. I take the time to ask the best way to keep your pet safe and what a typical day looks like for your family. I can walk dogs, let them out into a yard, and crate them if needed. Nothing is too much for me I have been around a lot of pets with different needs.
“Rachel was amazing. Our three dogs were well taken care and we received frequent updates. She went above and beyond to not only care for the dogs but also in looking after the house during our trip.”
“Kari was excellent with my 11yo diabetic cat! She was able to monitor his food intake and give him insulin shots when needed. When he didn't eat right away, she was able to hang around a little so the shot could be administered. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that! The daily pics were great too. Would definitely use her again.”
About: I have helped raise pets with my family for most of my life, taking on more responsibility as I got older. I have helped family members take care of their dogs when they are away, taking them on walks and making sure they are fed on their regular schedule. I make sure that they get enough exercise to be tired out, but not exhausted. My family mostly had cats, and I have learned to interact with them on their terms, following their lead for the toys they want to play with, the treats they like, when they are fed, and how much and when they would like affection. While my availability is limited to after typical work hours on weekdays, due to my regular job, I have almost full availability on Saturday and am available Sunday afternoon. Please note that I cannot use my phone from 7:40 to 3 on weekdays, except from 11:00 - 11:44 and 12:40 - 1:20. I will get back to you as promptly as possible. I make sure that my cat is fed daily, monitoring her feeder and water fountain to make sure they are full and clean. Kitty litter is emptied once per week and scooped about every other day, since she has 2 boxes. The doors are always closed in my house and I would make sure they are closed in my client's house as well. When watching amily dogs, they are never off-leash unless it is in an enclosed area. Occasionally in my house, I have the interior door open, but the screen door closed, so my cat can experience the outside safely. I make sure any string based toys or any choking hazards are up out of the way, so my cat and client's pets can't get tangled up in them.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! 🐶 I have a dog of my own who can be nervous around people and bark, so I’m experienced with staying calm, keeping control, and making walks safe and enjoyable. I’ve walked both big and little dogs since I was young and absolutely love spending time with them. Dogs bring me so much happiness, and I would love the opportunity to care for your furry friends whenever I can! I’m currently in college at Dickinson. I’m free any weekend. Monday, Tues and Friday from 5-9. Wednesday from 1:30 to 4:15. Lastly, Friday 7am to 4:15 pm. I will do whatever you would like me to do with your dog to make sure you feel your pets are safe! I can put them in a crate, leash them, take them in a yard, etc…
“Anna was a wonderful gift to caring for my senior dog. She came over on an additional day, just to learn about all of the complexities involved. She corresponded well with me while I was on the other side of the country. It helped keep my anxiety over my beloved pet way down! Anna is professional and detail oriented, and I would gladly hire her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I could remember. I’ve taken care of my families, friends, neighbors. I’ve bathed them, fed them, taken them out, and more. I used to work at a dog boarding and doggie day care. I am very flexible and can work around any schedule and pets schedules. I like to make sure pets in my care are comfortable by sticking to a schedule. I have a big yard for my dog to play in. My dog is a big love bug, who just wants to play. Usually I take care of my family’s dogs at their houses which have fenced in areas.
“Angela and Ken are simply amazing! They sent adorable pictures of their visits and with all the tail wagging and kisses, I knew that they were the perfect pet sitters for my fur babies! I will most certainly use them again!”
“FIVE STARS! My SO and I needed someone to pop in and check on our cats Binx and Cameron. They have a habit of eating each other's food (mostly Cam) and we wanted to make sure no one was going hungry. While originally we had only planned for Julia to stop once, in a rush while we were leaving we were worried one of the kitties got shut in a room so asked if she could stop by the day after we left. She was able to accommodate our request and make sure the boys were good. It's awesome to know your fur babies are in good hands when out of town! Thanks Julia! Recommended!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Middlesex
Amy was wonderful with my dog! We hired her to drop in and also to take our dog for a short walk and she was great. She arrived on time and was very loving to our old dog. She also snuggled him on the couch, played with him outside and left us a message on how he did. It was great to have someone that would show him all the love when we could not be there.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Middlesex is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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 1,159 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
