“Claire was wonderful with our dogs! She is incredibly gentle, kind, and patient, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. She listened carefully to all of our instructions and followed them exactly, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable with her, and we came home to very content pups. Communication was great, and we felt confident knowing they were in good hands. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already booked several more stays with her. We would absolutely recommend Claire to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter and will definitely be hiring her again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Trula watched our 2 small dogs for a full week & they were happy and well taken care of. One dog was started on a medication the day before we left, and Trula followed the written instructions without hesitation. We received daily updates & photos. Lily is often grumpy & growls at people, but we received photos with her sitting on Trula's lap, so Trula was able to overcome her moodiness. Trula was also flexible with her departing schedule as I told her the wrong time for our return flight. We appreciated her taking such good care of our dogs.”
About: I LOVE DOGS!! I've taken care of pets since I was 14 and love taking them on adventures or relaxing with them! I am a current college student who is home during breaks and weekends! I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate your pets every need! As a full-time college student, I am currently restricted to my University schedule. I am available during Summer break: June 15th-September 25th, Winter break: December 13th-January 4th, and Spring break: March 21st-March 29th. I am currently residing with my parents during university breaks and, as such, am unable to provide in-home pet care at my own residence. However, I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting at clients’ homes. To ensure a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable experience, I schedule a meet-and-greet with each client and their pet prior to the start of services. This allows us to discuss expectations, address any questions, and establish a solid foundation for care. I also encourage clients to review the Rover Community Guidelines so they are fully informed about the process and policies. Throughout the booking, I maintain clear and consistent communication! I provide updates and photos to keep clients informed about how their pet is doing. I know I love to receive updates on my puppy while I’m away! I also reach out if anything arises that requires their input. After the booking, I follow up to ensure that the care I provided met their expectations. My goal is always to deliver reliable, attentive, and high-quality care.
“I cannot recommend Marc enough! Leaving our pets is always stressful, but Marc took such incredible care of them that it felt like they were on vacation too. They were attentive to our pets’ specific routines and sent the best daily photo updates, which allowed me to completely relax on our trip. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Bry was so caring and loving to my pets my neighbors even noticed. She is very kind, Profesional and trustworthy. She was punctual and very communicative. I will definitely hire her again. I had s great experience using Rover for the first time. I felt very reassured and relaxed about the process”
“Selena took great care of our dogs!! She was great at communicating, the dogs were very happy and the house was tidy when we got back :) we would definitely have Selena watch our dogs again”
“Heather was wonderful! Chet had such a good time with her. She did the best job of keeping us informed on how they were doing and the worry-meter went waaaaay down. The house was in excellent condition and the yard was completely clean. Great job, Heather! You made a stressful trip worry free, as far as our beloved pet was concerned. Thank you SO much!!!”
“Alexis and Jacob were very communicative and easy to work with! They took good care of my pets and left the house neat and tidy. Would recommend and hire again!”
“This is the second time we’ve had Sterling, she’s great! Daily photos, our pets love her, and the house looks like no one was here when she leaves. She’s also personable and very communicative, highly recommend!”
“I had an excellent experience with Xanthia! She took care of Daniel twice a day and was incredibly reliable and attentive. Every time she visited, she sent detailed updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Daniel looked happy and relaxed in every photo, and it was clear he was in great hands. I truly appreciated her care, communication, and kindness.”
“Adeline was amazing! Our pup, Isa, is really standoffish and has run away from another sitter (lit out in a rain storm and ran 1/2 mile through traffic to pet food store) but when we came home Isa whimpered when Addy left. A HUGE compliment. Addy took isa for long walks and was very attentive and reliable. Absolutely recommend Addy 💯”
“Kathryn was wonderful with our little Sheltie. Very patient while our Sheltie warmed up to a new person. Over the 3-night stay, Kathryn sent multiple pictures and status reports, which we loved!”
“This is the second time we've had Erica stay with our 3 cats while we've been away. Once again she did a fabulous job caring for them. She sent several pictures throughout the stay which helped us know that they were thriving and comfortable in her care. Upon departure, she left our house clean and tidy. Thank you Erica! We will definitely book you again.”
“Stephanie did an amazing job housesitting my dog. My dog can be antisocial and pretty fearful of strangers. Stephanie remained in close contact to update me on how my dog was doing as well as how to best approach taking care of him while I was gone. Stephanie worked through adversity and stuck with the job to get the best results possible and I am very thankful for her and how she cared for my dog.”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of my family dogs. From raising multiple puppies to taking care of sick dogs. I am a reliable person and will make sure all your needs are met. I’m a huge animal lover so any pet you have I will love! I’ve raised a kitten in the last year, making sure that he is well loved and cared for. I do school work online so i’m constantly home and have a very flexible schedule to do any pet care! I would love to get more exercise as well so this would be so fun for me! I don’t currently work so I don’t have a job to keep me busy. My cats are kept inside for safety with lots of toys and furniture to keep them busy. I enjoy playing with animals and I’m aware of animals body language so if I need to go slow with an animal I know when to do so
The median cost per night for house sitting in Middleton is $50

At this point, I'm pretty sure my cat likes Xanthia better than he likes me! She was so sweet and playful with him. On top of being great with the cat, she communicates well, is hyper responsible and took great care of our house. So grateful to have found her.
Jennifer was wonderful with Poppy and a very courteous and conscientious house guest. She kept me posted on how Poppy was doing throughout the week, including pics. Clearly, Poppy didn’t even miss us! Jennifer is one of her favorite people and we couldn’t be happier with the care and attention she gave our girl while we were away. Thank you!
Emily was great! So communicative with updates - she did a great job sending photos and videos of their time together. Our dog was naughty and got into some flour in the pantry and Emily got it all cleaned up and handled the small issue with ease. Would definitely recommend her and would hire her again if her schedule allows. Thanks for everything, Emily!
I had an emergency hospitalization and I was so thankful that Sal was readily available to come to my home and take care of my two Yorkies! She has a good heart and took great care of my two babies- which put my mind at ease while I was trying to get through my surgical procedure and heal! I would highly recommend her!
I needed a pet sitter on short notice after my regular sitter had to cancel. I was hesitant to use Rover, as I have always had friends or relatives pet sit. I reached out to Kayla after reviewing her profile and positive reviews, and she was very responsive. The meet and greet went very well, and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog and cat in Kayla’s hands while I was on vacation. Kayla was absolutely wonderful!! She stayed at my house to ensure there was no change in routine for my dog and cat. She provided updates with photos, and I was able to enjoy my vacation without having to worry about my dog and cat. My house was spotless when I returned, and I could tell that my dog and cat were well cared for when I was gone. I highly recommend Kayla!!!
We booked Chloe to watch our dog and three guinea pigs for two weeks while we were overseas. She was responsive, communicative, trustworthy, and flexible. We left a set of instructions on how to take care of our creatures--she followed all of them. She took outstanding care of our animals and the house, and we returned home to a clean house and happy menagerie. I would recommend Chloe for anyone looking for a housesitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Middleton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Middleton on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,693 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Middleton. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
