“Catherine gave our senior kitty wonderful care and attention over two overnights and days. She was also patient and responsive to these first-time clients over-concerned about being away from our cat. We so appreciated the updates, photos, videos, and reassurances, and now feel much more confident about leaving him, especially under Catherine's care. Thank you so much.”
“Tom did a great job with Chidi! He can be tricky and he was very patient as Chidi reacclimated. He also shoveled our stairs and cleaned off our car after the snow which was nice to come home to.”
“Asia took wonderful care of my Yorkie over the course of two days this week. She is friendly, diligent, professional, communicative, and very kind. Your pet could not possibly be in a better hands. She has a great love for animals and it shows in her work.”
“Lauren was amazing! She gave me updates throughout our visit, was super communicative and kind, and put me at ease leaving my 4mo old pup with someone else for the first time!! Will definitely be using her again :)”
“We had a great experience leaving our dogs, cat, and home in Annie's care! She was communicative and shared lots of photos but also gave us the freedom to enjoy our time away. The animals seemed to enjoy their time with her and the house was in great shape when we came home. Really all you can ask for! We look forward to using Annie's services again in the future.”
“Liz was amazing with our two dogs (who have totally different personalities and ages)! She genuinely cares about their well being and how to best take care of their needs. She quickly gained their trust, which is not easy with either of our dogs, as both have some anxiety with meeting new people. On top of that, she took great care of our house too! We are already booking her for more overnight stays. We’re so excited to have found someone who we can trust our pups and house too for short and extended stays!”
“Andrew took great care of our pup, Ella. Ella has not always had an easy time when we leave but she seemed really at ease when we got home and Andrew provided us updates throughout our time. We will definitely have him back!”
About: I have loved dogs my whole life but have never had one of my own. Because of this, I’ve become the go-to guy for all my friends’ dogsitting needs. I spent 2020 as a professional dog walker in Boston and fine tuned my skills at handling multiple dogs at a time. I have picked up training skills and also enjoy taking photos of my furry friends! Additionally, I have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every dog is different in how much attention or exercise they need and I’m always ready to adapt to best take care of them. I love getting to know dogs and their unique personalities and I hope I can get to know yours too! While I may be a dog person, I love all animals and have met my share of cool cats so please consider me to care for all kinds of fur babies. I recently moved home from a year on the west coast and am looking to build my schedule back up. I’m currently very flexible and hoping to fill my time with some new fur friends! I know every pet has specific needs and I am always looking to meet those so they can live their best lives. I’m capable of handling dogs with high energy levels or chill out with kitties that just want to snooze. I’m always vigilant as well since I know our pals can sometimes be sneaky.
About: Hello all animal lovers! My name is Olivia and I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends for about 3 years now. I’m new to the rover app but I currently sit some of my friend’s pets which are a Pomeranian, Doberman, bichon frise and pit bull puppy. I am looking to gain more experience in the animal field as I am going to school in the fall for animal care specialist. I’ve just begun volunteering at an animal shelter in Salem to lend a helping hand to all the animals that are waiting to go to there furever homes! I have such a passion and unconditional love for all animals I hope you will give me the chance to help care for your fur baby!
“Rebecca watched my two dogs this weekend and was wonderful. She took great care of them and bonded with them quickly! She was responsive with communication with me and sent regular updates and pictures of the dogs. We felt very comfortable with her care of our dogs and will be asking her again to watch them!”
About: I grew up with a golden retriever and have owned numerous rabbits in my life! I have assisted in Hannah's Hounds LLC and Danielle's Dogs doggy daycare businesses located in Marblehead MA. I have taken care of a variety of dogs and cats on Wag and Rover. I am a volunteer at a rabbit shelter that involves grooming, giving medications and cleaning cages. I am also a registered nurse, so I know a great deal of medical knowledge that may be helpful under certain circumstances! I work in a hospital 3 days a week therefore my schedule is very flexible, so I’m excited to care for your pet needs when you’re away & unavailable! I do not currently board, but I do love sitting at animals’ homes! I will always keep a close eye on the animals, as cuddling or playing is always talking place.
About: I have my very own rescued golden retriever/hound mix named Goldfish. He’s taught me the importance of patience, slow introductions and the power of treats! I have experience working with large breeds, anxious dogs, reactive dogs and senior dogs with special needs. I’m also a runner so I’d be happy to take your high energy pups on a run! I have a flexible schedule since I work part time. I will be available to hang out with your pups most days of the week! I’m attune to dog body language and make sure to read their cues when approaching them. I’ll be sure that they’re secure when entering and exiting a home. When we’re on walks, I’ll make sure that they don’t get into things when they’re not supposed to and be cautious of other dogs and people.
“Katie seriously could not have been more perfect for the role! Patient, kind, animal loving - our special needs dog thrived in her care. We feel so incredibly lucky to have found her! Already booked for more opportunities. Katie, you are a gem! 1000 out of 10 recommend ❤️”
About: I've had two dogs of my own - one blind, and the other deaf. I am happy to manage your pet's quirks while we're having a great time together, too. Every pet needs something different, so I'll pay close attention to the details of your instructions. I'm also very focused on safety: leashes and familiar walks are a must! I am a teacher, so during the school year, I am available after 4:00pm to check in on your pet so everyone is happy when you arrive home. Also, I am booking now for summer - I would love to share my time off with your pets! I am a teacher during the school year, so my summer is wide open. I do enjoy visiting a few clients each day - it adds some structure to my own life! At my place, I have an air-conditioned apartment and a small porch where your pet and I can relax. We can take walks in the neighborhood or along the rail trail, located right across the street. Leashes and tags are always a must! In your home, I'll be sensitive to your pet's routines and habits around the house. Likewise, I'll be careful about your privacy and the condition of your home. In either location, we can agree on a timetable so you can expect pictures and updates of your special pet.
About: I've had Cats all my life, and Dogs as long as I can remember! I worked my way up from Attendant to Supervisor at a local Veterinary Hospital I was at for 6 1/2 years. I had 15 Attendants working underneath me that I hired, scheduled and trained. I was in charge of Small and Large Breed boarding departments, Doggie Daycare, and cats as well. My duties consisted of Monitoring, Feeding, Medicating and exercising Boarding and Daycare Animals from Friendly to Aggressive and Puppies to Seniors. It’s a blessing to be able to give each pet (or household of pets) their own deserved care and undivided attention rather than having to split my time and energy between pets at a large facility. I consider myself lucky to be able to work for myself and make my own schedule. This allows me to care for pets and still spend time with my family. I have a friendly 6 year old mix spayed female at home that I trained myself. She loves playing ball and going for our daily walks. I have the desire and the time to take care of your four legged besties! I love to exercise and get outside so I have the energy to keep up with your pet and tire them out. =)
“Rifah took great care of our dog and cat-she gave them plenty of love and attention as well as their basic needs. I have food allergies and she not only agreed to eat gluten free in our home, but also sent me a photo of what she brought to double check. She was respectful of our animals and home!”
“Carol was wonderful while watching our two dogs in our home. She kept us updated the whole time and made sure their routine was followed exactly. I could enjoy my time away without a single worry! Thank you thank you Carol! We will definitely be using her again and again!”
“Liz is absolutely wonderful! The best part is that my shy dog, Winnie, really took to her. Liz was super punctual and responsible, and she left my house looking great. I will definitely book her again!”
“Ryan and Martina are great! This was my first time using Rover, so I wasn't sure what to expect. There are a lot of people to choose from in caring for your pet, and I am so grateful I chose Ryan and Martina. They came over and met us and our two goldens first which I appreciated as a new customer. They were very communicative and took photos of our boys while they were in their care. I would definitely consider using them in the future! Thank you, Ryan and Martina, for being amazing to Murphy and Brody! Rob and Liz Schumacher”
“Masi did an amazing job watching out wheaten terrier, Trigo! He hasn't had many dog sitters so he tends to be a little jumpy and nervous at first but Masi knew exactly how to calm him down and make sure he was comfortable. We loved getting the video and photo updates and felt confident that Trigo was in the best of care. Thanks so much!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Middleton
Amanda did a great job with our dog and cat. She took special care to check in with us at feeding times due to our cat's health issues and was very attentive to both of them theought the weekend. Would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for for a little piece of mind while they're away from home!
We were so comfortable with Lauren staying overnight with our 3 dogs while we travelled for a few days. The dogs were able to enjoy their daily routines and Lauren kept us updated on the daily activities with texts and photos. We highly recommend Lauren for house sitting!
Sophia was a wonderful sitter! She took care of our two goldendoodles while we were away for 4 days. They quickly felt very comfortable with her, even our really anxious dog. She also sent us plenty of updates and photos, so we were never left wondering how things were going back at home. Highly recommend!
Meghan is truly a wonderful caregiver to animals. She took exceptional care of our senior dog and spicy mini dachshund in our home while we were away. She provided great updates and pictures and was also a fantastic house guest. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Meghan was caring for our pups! Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Middleton is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $102 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.
As of November 2026, there are 6,015 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Middleton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Middleton. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
