“This was only Sirius' second time with a non-family sitter in his two years, so we were a little concerned about separation anxiety. He did have some issues the first night, and Alexis and Daniel consulted with us and we were able to decide with them how to proceed. Luckily Sirius seemed to become more comfortable the second day. We are planning a longer trip and have no reluctance about leaving Sirius with Alexis and Daniel again.”
“Stephen & Angela are so wonderful with my dog, Zeke. I do doggy daycare twice a week, and just recently did over a week of dog boarding for my dog while I was on vacation. They are always super responsive, friendly, and my dog looks forward to going to their home. I was very anxious leaving my dog for vacation, but I knew Zeke would be in great care and have a fun vacation of his own. I appreciated the daily photos sent to me, and the thoughtful treat bag when I picked up my boy. They even included human treats!”
“Beth was so patient and kind, I have never left my dog with a non-family member and she's a little codependent but Beth (and Tupac/Kiddo!) were so sweet and made her feel at home. She sent updates over the weekend and was amazing with our pickup/drop off schedule and my anxiety. Thanks so much!”
“Provided many updates throughout Woodfords stay which was much appreciated. Jared was consistent in his communication. Drop off and pick-up were a breeze. I could tell Woodford enjoyed his stay and the chance to play with the other dogs and Jared was patient with him.”
“Dan was amazing ! I could tell by the pictures and videos that Neghan really enjoyed himself! He had a lot of walks and potty breaks. I would highly recommend Dan. She is outstanding !”
“Oliver loved his time with Julia and her family. She provided updates and pictures periodically. Easy to communicate. They offered to bath and clip his nails at the end of his stay. Will definitely book with Julia again.”
“Carla was awesome. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone overnight. When our arrival was delayed, she happily took care of my dog 4 hours over the originally scheduled pick up time! Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Sharon is amazing. She took care of Oliver extremely well, and gave us peace of mind while we were gone. Her indoor and outdoor space were perfect, and Oliver enjoyed Sharon’s own dog. I was worried Oliver wouldn’t want to come home! We will definitely request Sharon’s services again.”
“Jessica is amazing. When I picked Zeus up, all he wanted to do was sleep. It wasn't till the next day that he had any energy. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Patrick was great! Prompt communication and plenty of picture updates on Guthrie, who looked to be having the time of his life. I swear Guthrie was positively beaming when I picked him up! The afterglow remains several days after.”

“Chris took great care of our Lab while we were visiting our son at college. We asked a lot of him because Seamus had a muscle strain and could not run around or take walks. This is asking a lot of a caretaker trying to keep a 94 pound Lab “not active.” Chris is our go to Rover sitter, we know Seamus is getting great attention and care.”
“Collin is the best! Whenever I’m in KY he’s my go-to go for dog sitting. My Yorkie loves playing with his, he is very great at communicating and sending pics throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“Nissa took such wonderful care of our dogs! They had so much fun and I loved all the thoughtful updates while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing they were in great hands!”
“Riley had a great time and Mariah did a great job of keeping me updated with information and pictures and videos. I felt safe and secure leaving him there, knowing that he would be well cared for, and he was! Would absolutely recommend and use again.”
“We highly recommend Sarah and Daniel to board your furry family member. Our pup Freddie stayed a few days and they kept contact and sent photos daily which was awesome. We will definitely be boarding Freddie with Sarah and Daniel and family again! 🙌❤️🙌”
“Heather is amazing! We went on a two week vacation and knowing our little bubby was having a great time and being well taken care of made it so much easier and removed the guilt of not being able to take him with us. Thanks so much Heather!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Middletown is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Middletown
Lydia is THE BEST!! I have 2 dogs. My toy poodle is easy peasy. My other dog is an Aussie Shepard, brilliant, loving, kind, energetic, and high anxiety. I have NEVER used a dogsitting service before and was certainly concerned when I left them. Well, one of the worst things happened. My Aussie's anxiety was so bad, he was hemorrhaging. Lydia took her yo the ER and waited all night for answers. Then, she created a special diet for her and nursed her back to health. When I came to get the dogs, they were happy too see me, but also happy they were truly cared for well. I can never thank Lydia enough for being ther person who was there for my girl, when I could not. She truly is an angel!
Carrie was absolutely amazing. Super sweet and caring for my pup, Carl while we were gone for the weekend. She kept me update on what he was doing and how he was doing. Her home is very clean and comfortable. Her yard is big and perfect for the animals. Will definitely be using her services again!!
Kelsey took amazing care of my dog, Katai, while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals, and that gave me so much peace of mind. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and Katai looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been treated like family. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Kelsey exceeded every expectation. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and attentive. Thank you, Kelsey, for taking such great care of Katai—I wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again!
Poppy stayed with Chris and his crew for a full week and it went great! She came home a tired and happy girl. We got updates during the week, Chris is super quick to reply. Chris is so good with the dogs and is very kind with them and knowledgeable. Great experience, we'd love to send Poppy to Chris's house again sometime!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Middletown on Rover is $38.85 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 Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 469 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
98% of Middletown sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Middletown landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 KY 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.
