“Eliana is fantastic. We had a change in plans at the last minute and she was very flexible. She kept us updated and sent Photos throughout the time she was taking care of our dog. Our dog is a bit quirky to say the least, and she took care of him very well… And to top it off, our house was cleaner than when we left. I highly recommend Eliana!”
“Alleen helped keep our kitties safe and happy while we were out of town. It’s not always easy to find someone you can trust with your home and your fur-babies, but Alleen is definitely someone we would love to welcome back in the future.”
“Esther was absolutely wonderful! She paid extra careful attention with our dog, who tries to escape and eat anything she can get to. She also sent lots of photos each day which we appreciated and had asked for! Esther left our home in a very clean order. We were really impressed with her communication, care of our pup, and following all of our requests! We will absolutely use Esther more often and know Rowena will be happy with her visits too!”
About: I have been around all types of animals, both big and small, since I was a baby, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I have a lot of experience working with different types of dogs and understanding their individual needs. I’m comfortable with daily care, giving medications, and providing basic first aid when needed. I’m always excited to take on a new challenge and to learn more about caring for your animal(s). I am almost always available all day, everyday of the week! Perfect for pet owners who may need a little more help while they’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, medication, exercise, bathroom breaks, and cleaning up after them. I also give each pet plenty of attention and watch for any changes in their behavior or health so I can let the owner know if anything seems wrong.
“Melany pet sat my four animals for me for an overnight. She was easy to communicate with before the sit, took lots of cute pictures during, and left my house very clean. I came home to happy animals all around. Would highly recommend for any of your needs on Rover!”
“Viridiana was great with our fur babies. She was in constant communication with us through out the weekend. She walked the Enzo and Diesel in the morning and evening and supervised our indoor cat outside for some outdoor sunbathing. She also sent us pictures daily. Very nice and sweet. ?”
“Kathleen is the best dog and house-sitter! Her love and attention to detail is truly unparalleled. During the time Nike was in her care, she went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. She sent daily photos and updates. This was not our first time using her and she kept all our info and followed every instruction we left her the first time. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Alannie did a great job looking after our cat Zumi for 8 days. Zumi seemed relaxed and happy on our return and Alannie left our place clean and tidy. Alannie also watered our plants and collected our mail, which was great. Would definitely recommend!”
“Kelly was a fantastic sitter for my fur baby Onyx! She was in regular communication, sent lots of pics and kept me updated as necessary. Onyx was well taken care of and Kelly was loving, patient and kind with her. She worked with me on crazy changes to my flight schedule and even offered to stay late which I really appreciated. She left my house clean and fresh and was a pleasure to work with. She is reliable and a great communicator. She even checked on Onyx the day after my return. I’d definitely have Kelly again and am already trying to book her for a future date. Thank you Kelly for taking such great care of Onyx, for being so loving with her and for being willing to work with me on all levels!”
“Mariah is our go to dog sitter! She has watched our 2 crazy doodles multiple times now and every time she is so communicative, punctual, and treats the boys like they are her own. The house is always left spotless as well. It’s so nice knowing that we don’t have to worry about the dogs when we are away! Will continue to reach out to her first whenever we need a sitter or someone to check in on them!”
“Christian was VERY responsive and timely. He kept us posted on how the pups were doing and sent pictures to ease us while we were out of town for the first time. Strongly recommend him and will use his services again 10/10 would do again!”
“Maria was absolutely great! She is super fast with communication and accommodating with schedules. She sent daily photos of my dog, which made me feel so happy my dog was with someone so attentive and caring! I will definitely use her again for future dog sitting needs!”
About: I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for years and genuinely love spending time with animals. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping them company. I’ve also given pets medications when needed, so I’m comfortable following instructions and making sure they receive their medication properly. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets and work around their normal routine. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting depending on what you and your pet need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine and any instructions provided. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s space, and I always make sure they’re safe, comfortable, fed, and given plenty of attention while you’re away.
About: I’m new to Rover but I, like so many others on here love animals! I have 2 dogs, an 8 year old tiny yet mighty Chihuahua and a 3 year old energetic and loving Border Collie. These two crazy boys have helped me learn that no two dogs are the same but a few things that they do have in common is their need for patient, loving, and understanding care takers. Dogs are the main animals that I’ve had the opportunity to care for, from chihuahuas to German shepherds but I’ve also had some clients with fish and turtles that needed boarding as well. I currently work at my administrative job 3 times a week and I’m looking for a fun way to spend my off days! My schedule is very flexible and I’m open to working around your pets routine! Most of my pet-sitting services take place in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable in the environment they know and love. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible while providing them with plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I also provide regular walks and engaging outdoor activities to keep them physically active and mentally stimulated. Every pet is treated as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I am a Napa native and I work in downtown at a civil engineering firm. I have had animals around my whole life and will always love all pets like they are my own. I have experience house sitting for dogs, cats, lizards, and ducks/chickens. This includes walking, feeding special diets, housing needs, and administering medications. I look forward to meeting some new friends! I work Monday through Friday 8-5 with an hour lunch which allows me to do mid day check ins. I prefer house and pet sitting when taking care of animals which allows me to work around my work schedule and provide your animals with the attention that they require. Being able to take care of animals in their own home is important to me because it offers them a sense of comfort especially when someone new is around. I aim to keep up with normal house hold routines so your animals doesn’t get too stressed.
About: I have been pet sitting and house sitting in Napa for the past 3 years and absolutely love it! I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and have cared for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. Since I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree online and don’t have another job, my schedule is very flexible! I’m able to spend a lot of time at home with the pets I care for and can easily fit walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of cuddles into my day. I will treat every pets home with lots of love and respect and make sure to follow the guidelines provided to me by the owner .

This was our first time booking Eliana, and she was great! She sent us a few updates and photos each day which was perfect, and she left our house clean and tidy. Our dog can be a little tricky to walk and she handled him really well. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or hire her again! Thank you Eliana!!! 🙂
Aimee is a true gem. Her presence is so calming and reassuring to both of us and our boy. I wasn't nervous at all to be away. She sent wonderful pictures that are professional quality. If you need an awesome pet sitter, Aimee is your answer. I just can't say enough about her.

The average cost of House Sitting in Middleton is $34 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $34 per night. 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.

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 Middleton 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 Middleton 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.
Tip: 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 Middleton 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
