“I appreciate Breanna’s willingness and flexibility in scheduling our drop in visit with only 2 days notice. This was our first experience with Rover and because of our positive experience with her, I will definitely be using this service and hopefully getting Breanna to assist us in the future. I highly recommend Breanna for her easy going, caring and professional attitude.”

About: We are a family with a 13 year old girl, 9 year old girl, 2 sweet cats, 2 hamsters and a yorkie! All our animals are vaccinated and not aggressive. Our girls are animal lovers and have been caring for pets since they could walk! We are used to prioritizing pet needs and are home throughout most days and could likely accommodate the most unique needs - without judgment! We have 3 adults in the home and there is rarely no one home at all. One adult works part time and one works from home. Kids have school and sports but as a family, we are used to prioritizing pets’ needs regardless of the daily schedule. We live in a beautiful neighborhood with nearby parks for walks and have a small back yard that is not fenced in. We have space for a crate indoors if needed, but also can provide lots of snuggles.

“Anneliese came thru & helped me last minute & even went above & beyond by helping fix one of my guys crates. I had a freak health incident & I just recently lost my usual helper so I was scrambling for help. Communication was amazing, I've got some new pics of my little guys, & I will %125 be contacting Anneliese again ANYTIME I need ANY kind of help with my guys. I was a little nervous about letting someone in my house I don't know & I'm already a cautious person, but this was exactly what I needed in this situation & I can't thank Anneliese enough! She made my crappy situation a bit less stressful & I appreciate that.”

About: I have been a dog owner and animal lover for many years and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I currently have two dogs, Archie (Corgi) and Annie (Beagle), and I have also owned a Rottweiler, so I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I am dependable, patient, and attentive, and I will treat your dog with the same care and affection I give my own. I am happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, check-ins, and lots of attention while you are away. I work full-time during the week, but I am available for pet care in the evenings, on weekends, and during school breaks and holidays. I can provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I am dependable and will communicate my availability clearly so you can feel confident your pet will receive the care they need. I take the safety and comfort of every pet seriously and will follow your instructions and routines carefully. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and can crate your dog if needed. I will always make sure your pet has fresh water, appropriate meals, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client's home, I will respect both your home and your pet's normal routine.

About: I have owned dogs since childhood, ranging from 60lbs to 150lbs. I have walked dogs and dog sat since I was a teenager. I have 3 dogs of my own, 3 of which are XL, and always have a foster dog as well. I am very active and would be happy to provide your dog with extra activity like hiking or running if you want them to come along for an adventure. I have experience with pet therapy for the last 15 years as well. If you are boarding with me, during the work week, I come home for lunch so my pets don’t ever go more than five hours without a let out. I can accommodate early morning or later in the evening walks or let outs on weekdays. Weekends are very open for me! I am able to accommodate dog friendly dogs for boarding who can integrate into our pack. I have a male Cane Corso, a male Great Dane, and a female Lab. They are all fixed and all dog and cat friendly. I can also accommodate non-dog friendly dogs as long as they are crate trained and comfortable in a room with busy toys and treats. They will still receive one on one attention and play time. For drop-ins, I am happy to utilize your yard for let outs and/or play time or very happy to walk your dog/s. For boarding, I have a fully fenced in portion of yard. I do not live in a neighborhood, so if your dog requires walks while boarding, I live 5 minutes from a park. I have cared for senior dogs as well as special needs dogs. I am very comfortable administering medications and sub q fluids. My one dog received daily fluids. Pet care is essentially my whole life :) With a multi dog household, life revolves around them. Their needs are prioritized and whatever accommodations need to be made can be made. Happy to provide your dogs with walks, playing tug, mental stimulation or just snuggles. If your dog is active, I’d be thrilled to take them for hikes or runs.

“Jen is absolutely the BEST petsitter you will ever experience. My cat is very high maintenance with her attitude and her massive hair (forest cat). Upon my arrival home kitty was calm, very content , and had an extensive grooming! My home was exceptionally clean with the removal of litter and cat food cans. Jen met me before the sitting dates and she was extremely knowledgeable . She has tons of common sense--- You will not need to give her pages of instruction. She GETS IT ! In addition, my plants were watered during this 94 degree weather , mail was placed neatly inside, and trash cans were taken to the curb . Photos are sent to you at each visit. Love Jen to take care of my cat.”

About: I’m experienced in caring for large and giant-breed puppies and adult dogs, fear-reactive dogs, and senior dogs who benefit from calm, low-stress environments. I personally own Cane Corso's, so I’m comfortable handling the size, strength, and energy that come with powerful breeds. I also have a small Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix with fear-based aggression, and for the past 16 years, I’ve learned how to recognize his triggers, respect his boundaries, and manage his behavior with patience and consistency. That experience has taught me that every dog deserves to be understood as an individual and cared for in a way that helps them feel safe and secure. Experienced with resource guarding behaviors and knowledgeable in the proper use of martingale collars, prong collars, and e-collars. I’m comfortable following each owner’s established handling and management routine while providing calm, attentive care. For me, caring for dogs is about more than meeting their basic needs. It’s about earning their trust and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages, from playful puppies full of energy to senior companions who need patience, gentleness, and attentive care. Every dog is different, and I approach each one with the care and understanding they deserve. Caring for animals is already a regular part of my everyday life, so adding pet care to my schedule comes naturally. I’m accustomed to planning my day around mealtimes, exercise, potty breaks, medications, and quality time. I’m comfortable adjusting my routine for puppies needing extra attention, active dogs needing exercise, seniors requiring a slower pace, or pets who simply do best with calm, predictable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, low-stress environment. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and any established training or handling routines.

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends’ dogs throughout the past few years. I provided whatever they needed whether that was feeding, walking, or playing. I’m currently working a part time restaurant job that never ends later than 10:30 pm. So I will have plenty of time to take care of pets overnight and during the day. I provide reliable, attentive care in my client’s homes by following routines, offering playtime and affection, administering medications as needed, and keeping owners updated regularly.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Middletown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Middletown is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $39 per visit. 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 1,785 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Middletown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Middletown. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
