“We are so grateful for the wonderful care Nikkita provided for our dog, Pepe. She was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure Pepe was comfortable and happy during his stay. She was also very flexible with our pick-up and drop-off times, which made things so much easier for us. We loved receiving regular updates and pictures, which helped us feel connected and at ease. It’s clear she truly cares about her furry guests, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”

“Yvonne did such a wonderful job taking care of our 4 year old and 1.5 year old golden retrievers. She has a beautiful fenced yard for them to play in. We loved all of the photo and video updates we received; it really put our mind at ease during our trip. She was so thoughtful, kind, and thorough with following the care instructions and communicating with us. We already have another stay booked with her this fall and are looking forward to using her services more in the future!”

About: We have been a dog family for the past 11.5 years! We love our dogs so much! We have an 11 year old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix and a 2 year old Aussiedoodle. They are sweet and fun and love other dogs! We have 4 kiddos as well who love caring for the dogs including our 12 and 11 year old girls who love taking the dogs for walks! We are a homeschooling family so we are home most of the time and don't kennel our dogs at all while we are home! We have a huge fenced-in backyard that the dogs love to roam and run around in! Playing fetch in the back yard is a highlight in our home!

We were thoroughly impressed with this stay for our puppy Tessa. 1st time for our puppy she seemed happy. This was also her 1st time around other dogs as well. Rackeem was very attentive and she seemed comfortable from the door. He sent us videos and pictures and this help me through the time away. I will definitely use Him again very professional.

We LOVE Shereen! She took such good care of our little Cooper. Her dogs are so loving and friendly, and welcomed ours into their home with no issues of any kind. Shereen obviously loves dogs and treats all of them like kings and queens...which is exactly what we wanted. She's really amazing.

Shereen was fabulous with Daisy. Her fur babies are adorable and Daisy loved having playmates despite her being so much larger than them. Shereen is a true pet lover and her home and caring nature reflects that. I plan to use her services again for Daisy.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Middletown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Middletown is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $67 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 October 2026, there are 607 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Middletown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

95% of sitters in Middletown can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Middletown home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Middletown.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Middletown sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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 , 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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in DE ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
