“Bethany was wonderful with our dog, Charlie while we were away. She kept us regularly updated with messages and photo, which gave us great peace of mind. Charlie was clearly well cared and happy. We would definitely book her again in the future.”
“Christopher was very accommodating to our last minute booking request. When we arrived to drop off our dogs, he took the time to show us around the house which gave us peace of mind about where our pups were staying. Very friendly and professional and we felt our pups were in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“My pup was very loved and pampered while staying with Jennifer. She took her for walks, made sure she was eating and always had water, let her outside to play, even turned on my dog's favorite TV show when she was bored. I will absolutely be booking Jennifer again soon! Thanks!”
“Gabriel was again excellent in his care of our little guy. Barnaby is completely comfortable there and is instantly 'one of the pack.' We are fortunate to have Gabriel as Barnaby's caregiver.”
“Josh was super great at communicating with us and really flexible with pick up/drop off when we needed to make changes. Our dog Walter was very well taken care of and we would absolutely recommend Josh as a pet sitter!”
“Nancy and her husband were beyond great! We will absolutely be reaching out in the future. They provided updates and you can tell how amazing they are with your dog. Very thankful for their help while we were away!”
“Kylie was an amazing sitter. My cats almost didn’t want to leave! She sent pictures with updates which kept my mind at ease. Will definitely be using her again when visiting family :)”
“Definitely recommend others to use Jody as a pet sitter/boarder. He is very knowledgeable and offered a lot of advice regarding training and diet that I think was very beneficial.”
About: Although I have more experience with cats, I love all pets in all sizes! I will treat your fur baby exactly the way they are supposed to be treated, like a member of the family. I will make sure your pets are well cared for, loved, and I will try my best to make sure you receive updates along the way because that is what I would like, if it were me. If your buddy needs medicine or special care instructions, I am happy to oblige. I want to make sure your pet feels the least amount of stress possible, because I know how hard it can be when they are away from you. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pet and take them for walks. Boarding can happen any day of the week. I have 2 kitties and a pup at home with an unfenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I will make sure your fur baby is cared for on the schedule you need to keep them on track. I do not have a crate, but if you'd like to provide one, I'm happy to crate your baby as needed. Because I stay at home, I will be picking up my kids from school during school days and would love to be able to bring your buddy with me during that time (if they aren't stressed about it).
“Allison and Adam are wonderful people and they could not have been more welcoming for Loki. He didn't want to come home and he may be depressed this evening !! He misses his new friends. Thank you very much for taking such good care of our pup!!”
“Our experience with Shalissa was great, especially on such short notice! They really took great care of Scarlet and it was comforting to know she got to be in a nice home with other kids and dogs.”
“Marietta and Nanette always do a great job with watching our Jolene. This time we had her watched for 3 weeks while we were out of the country for the holidays. This was the longest we had been away from Jolene, but we had confidence we were leaving her in good care. We received regular updates and it was clear that Jolene was enjoying her time and felt right at home. They even included Jolene when celebrating Christmas, it means so much to us that she was treated so well.”
About: I grew up with pets, and love being around pups! I don’t have any of my own and for that reason, getting to take care of your pup is a true joy for me. I love hearing even the smallest details about your beloved pet so that I can give them as much care as you do! I’m a stay-at-home mom with daily availability to make house visits or go on walks. My teen sons also enjoy pet sitting/ dog walking and may accompany me at times. I strive to give them the same love and care you do! I am a detailed oriented person who you can be confident will attempt to hear and follow all of your instructions, making sure your pet is in good hands! Pet parents know all the individual qualities about their pet— what they like to do, what scares them, what will help them get in and out of the house, etc. Those are the things I appreciate knowing.
“Ronnie was great with our dog! She was flexible when I had to change the booking the week before. She kept me updated with pictures and it was clear Mac had a great week with her. Will definitely book with her again!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Ginger’s first stay with Alyson! She was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet and getting Ginger booked for the same week, which we really appreciated. Alyson has a fenced-in backyard where Ginger had plenty of room to roam and explore, and she was welcome to enjoy the furniture and feel right at home. Alyson’s two children were wonderful with Ginger and loved helping care for her, including taking her on walks with parental supervision. I especially loved receiving all the photos throughout her stay and being able to check in and see how Ginger was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for! Ginger made some wonderful new friends, and she can’t wait to go back and visit them again! If you’re looking for a Rover sitter in the area, I highly recommend Alyson. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 🐾❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 438 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Middletown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
96% 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, we recommend 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Middletown. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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 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.
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 IN 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
