“We just got back from a trip and Brenda was our house and animal sitter. She always takes such great care of our pets (1 dog and 2 cats) and our home. I cannot say enough good things about her. We have already reserved her for our next trip. Thanks so much, Brenda!”
“Lydia was great! She is extremely caring and thoughtful in her approach when meeting and handling pets she cares for. Our dog is a chihuahua mix and not always the most receptive to new people. Plus our dog is partially blind and deaf. Lydia understood the challenge and knew exactly how to approach. She is extremely responsive in sending pictures while away and letting us know that Louie is doing great in our absence. She is a great communicator and I was completely at ease while away knowing that Louie was in great hands.”
“Robert was our first experience here at Rover and he was great to work with. He offer to come to our house earlier to meet with our guys, even though our booking was kinda last minute. Our dogs suffers from separation anxiety and are very vocal, but Robert was very patient with them and won them over. We would definitely recommend him to anybody looking for somebody reliable to watch over their pets and we would love to work with him again!”
“Allegra was fantastic! I have a nervous Great Dane with mild seperation anxiety and she was instantly at ease around Allegra. She worked so well with our dog Roo and sent updates with pictures to keep our minds at ease while we were away. Can’t wait to rebook her!”
“It was so nice to know we had a reliable, kind and experienced pet sitter! Amy took care of our two dogs, cat, and gecko and sent great pictures during her stay. We were lucky to have her!”
About: I love animals and truly enjoy taking care of dogs and cats. I make sure they’re well-fed, walked, and have plenty of playtime, giving them lots of love and attention. I treat every pet as part of my family, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while under my care. I’m available to care for dogs and cats on weekends. I can provide feeding, walks, and loving companionship with care and responsibility. My available hours are from Friday at 6:00 p.m. until Sunday at 9:00 p.m. I live in an apartment with my two daughters, who are very sweet and loving with animals. We have a spacious and comfortable area where your pet can feel relaxed and happy. There are plenty of natural areas nearby where I can take your dog for walks to enjoy the outdoors and nature. I’m available on weekends, from Friday at 6:00 p.m. to Sunday at 9:00 p.m., to provide loving, responsible, and personalized care for your pet.
“Ann was great. She watched our dog and our house for 11 nights, and took care of a couple other tasks for us. We will definitely try to book her again next time we leave town!”
“Louisa and Sammy were absolutely wonderful with my puppy and cat. I received frequent updates and photos. Louisa was especially attendant to my puppy who wasn’t feeling well. I would recommend them to anyone looking for pet care and I will be thinking of Louisa first when I next need them to be cared for.”
“Ray did a great job with both our dogs, but especially with our older thunder-phobic dog during a week in which many storms were predicted and a few happened. Her willingness to communicate, and her good questions made her a great choice for our dogs. And our dogs were clearly happy, comfortable and well-cared for in our absence. We would definitely book her again.”
“Tucker was amazing — he took great care of my fur baby and provided pics regularly AND he was gracious and unflappable in the face of some unforeseen challenges. Flexible, great communicator, and left the house cleaner than he found it. Great with following directions and proactively taking care of all the things — he even noticed the light on the automatic feeder and refilled it before I even messaged him about the notification I’d received. Perhaps best of all, he saw AJ for the loving, playful kitty that he is—so I knew AJ was feeling comfortable and that he was in good, kind hands. Would definitely recommend to others and would be glad to have his help again!”
“Great sitter - of house and dog. Friendly and kind; Chico was happy and healthy when we returned and my house was exactly as I left it. I would recommend Megan to anyone and hope to reunite Megan and Chico again!”
“Alina was so sweet and professional! I especially appreciated her attention to detail and quick responses. It's always nerve-wracking getting a first-time sitter, but Alina made it easy. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Our pup and kitty absolutely loved Jess and so did we! Jess was very communicative, sent multiple pictures, and took such good care of our fur babies. I contacted Jess with very last minute notice because our sitter canceled, but I am so happy things worked out as they did. We will definitely book with Jess in the future and would recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting.”
About: I've spent most of my life around animals and have cared for both cats and dogs of all ages for friends and family since high school. I have a soft spot for older pets, so I understand that they often need more attention, which I am happy to provide. Whether it's sticking to a routine, administering medication, or keeping company, I'm comfortable handing your pet's unique needs. I currently don't have my own pet, but I'd love to care for yours! I'm currently a graduate student who is working from home for most of the summer, so I am available weekdays and weekends to care for your pet. I love taking screen-time breaks throughout the day, and taking care of animals is a great way to do so. I treat every home visit with diligence and respect. I follow routines closely and make sure your animal(s) and home are secure before, during, and after my visit. I appreciate detailed instructions and will send updates as frequently as you'd like.
“Katie is amazing!! We have 2 very energetic dogs and she made sure to take them on a good walk and play in the backyard multiple times to get their energy out! Our one dog even had some tummy issues and she made him chicken and rice 🥹 we trust Katie with our pups and will definitely utilize her again!”
“Julia was so pleasant and professional! She asked great questions to prepare for her time with Princeton, and you could tell she really cared - Princeton warmed up to her immediately :) I highly recommend Julia and would definitely hire her again!”

Helen stayed at our home and took wonderful care of our pets. She was a great communicator before, during and after her stay. We received regular updates and photos of our pets, which was really comforting. Helen was conscientious and careful about following the instructions we provided. She left our house and animals in great condition! We'd love to have her back to sit again!
Ray did a great job with both our dogs, but especially with our older thunder-phobic dog during a week in which many storms were predicted and a few happened. Her willingness to communicate, and her good questions made her a great choice for our dogs. And our dogs were clearly happy, comfortable and well-cared for in our absence. We would definitely book her again.
Shobhali was an absolute gem of a house sitter and we couldn't have asked for better care for our two dogs and cat. She stayed in constant communication, providing regular updates and adorable photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Not only were our pets clearly happy and well loved in her care, but she also left our home in immaculate condition. Shobhali is great, we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier sitter!
Nicole did an exceptional job caring for my dog and my cat (last minute!) while I was away. She gave them each their daily meds and sent me daily updates. She also took care with the house, checking in about finding a towel to protect the hardwood floors from snow tracked in when it snowed unexpectedly and even laundering the guest bed sheets before she left. I'd leave six stars if I could :)
Hannah was the best dog sitter we've ever had! She took wonderful care of our two wild dogs and sent daily updates and pics. She also left the house completely spotless, took out the garbage and brought in the mail! She even made us some delicious cookie bars to welcome us home! Hannah went absolutely above and beyond and I would highly recommend her to anyone!
We’re so grateful to Shaina for housesitting over a long (and unexpectedly extended) vacation! We returned to a well-kept home and three happy and healthy pets. Throughout, Shaina was helpful, communicative, flexible, and brimming with cute pictures of our babies. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Melissa watched our two dogs and cat over the Christmas holidays. She stayed at our home during this time. She sent updates with photos and videos. She took in the newspapers and mail. She left the house immaculate. She showed initiative to meet with us twice in advance of her . Highly recommend.

FAQs for House Sitting - Middleton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Middleton on Rover is $44.4 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 848 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.

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.
