Dog Sitting Middletown

About: I've had animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities and needs. I currently have two dogs and three cats of my own, and I also volunteer at an animal shelter so I'm very comfortable with shy pets, seniors, high-energy dogs and everything in between. What sets me apart is my calm, loving, devoted one-on-one approach I bring every service. Whether I'm boarding your dog, stopping in for a potty break or pet sesh, hosting daycare or taking your pup for a walk, your pet gets patience, gentleness, clear communication and genuine love. I'm silly with the dogs, respectful of the cats, recognize boundaries and am always attuned to each animal's comfort level. I currently have a very flexible schedule so I'm available for pet care throughout the week. I'm home most of the day which means plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks and a calm and consistent routine for your pet. I offer walks and drop-ins throughout the week and boarding and daycare on weekends. I love building my schedule around each pet to make sure they feel safe and cared for. My home is calm, clean and pet-friendly, with two gentle resident dogs who are great with visitors. I'm experienced with slow introductions and always prioritize safety, comfort and respecting each pet's boundaries. I can crate your dog if needed, keep close supervision during yard time and follow any routines or rules your pet is used to. In your home I maintain the same level of care - keeping things predictable, secure and tailored to your pet's needs.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care that Mary provides for our dog. Bodger aka Huevo absolutely loves her and it’s clear that Mary genuinely cares about the animals she watches. She has also been incredibly flexible and accommodating with our changing work schedules which has been such a help Because our dog is a rescue finding someone we could completely trust was extremely important to us. Mary exceeded our expectations and gave us peace of mind from the very beginning. Knowing Huevo is safe and happy and well cared for when we’re away is priceless. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a dependable and caring and trustworthy dog sitter!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. All different shapes and sizes from chihuahuas to a 100+ lb Rottweiler. There isn’t a dog that I don’t love. I’ve dog sat for many family friends over the years, and I know how important it is to make your pets comfortable while you are gone. I work full-time in east Louisville, typically working from home on Tuesday’s. I have the ability to take breaks as needed, and would love to spend my lunch giving your pup some love and a nice walk! In my home, my pets are my children. They sleep with me in bed, Watch TV with me on the couch and get the occasional pizza crust if they’re being extra sweet. I will treat your babies just the same unless you have rules for them otherwise!

About: I’ve always been a dog lover, being a dog mom myself! I’ve taken care of dogs for my family, friends, and friends of friends for several years. Tending to every feeding, walk, fetch, cuddles, and dog park run! I work full time as a teacher and am a dog mom myself! I would love to help care for your furry friends on the weekends or in the evenings! I love walking and enjoying time outside with a furry friend to tag along! I have a fenced in backyard for the 3 furry friends in my home as well as a roommate with dog experience! Also experienced in crating if needed!

About: Hi, I’m Clay! I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved being around dogs. I have a 5-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog who’s been my best friend since he was a puppy, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience and care I’d want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m able to provide dependable care throughout the day. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I’ll do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible so your pet feels comfortable and stress-free. Ill keep your home clean and respect your space while you’re away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for until you return.

About: I’ve worked in animal shelters for more than a decade! Experienced with difficult behaviors, including arousal, resource guarding, stranger issues, and more. I use positive reinforcement only. Let me know what treats your pup prefers (or any allergies, special diets) so I can come equipped. I have dogs, cats, and exotic pets of my own. I love animals have dedicated my life to their wellbeing. I’m a skilled handler, my own dogs all present their own challenges (especially on walks). Experienced in administering medications, including injectables. I run with my dogs and would love to run with a client’s dog who is up for it! I’m also up for hikes, long walks, or just a slow stroll for my senior dog friends. Cannot accept client where I will need to use a shock collar, sorry. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility to be home or check in on animals. I love to walk and be outside, so if you pets enjoy sunbathing while I'm on zoom calls, they'll love my set up! I have a fully-fenced half acre yard and friendly animals. For drop ins and services in your home, I will follow your instructions to a tee!

“Very happy with Breanna's drop in visits! She sent lots of pictures and detailed updates. The house was very clean even where my cats eat and love making a mess. Will definitely request future visits with her!”

About: I've had dogs and cats in my house practically my entire life and have had the opportunity to watch friends' pets on multiple occasions. I have now been a part of the Rover Community for about 3 years. I am comfortable walking dogs, feeding and bathing and cleaning up after pets, as needed. I have a full-time job working 7 hours/day Monday-Friday so I am only available for weekend sitting services, unless your pet can be alone for long periods of time. Please feel free to reach out with any questions/concerns. I am available for house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking in client's home after 3pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. These would include potty breaks, feeding, walking and bathing client's pets as needed. I am willing to stay overnight as well. I can not watch pets at my own house as my own cat does not do well with other animals.

About: Although we currently only have one female dog, we have nearly always had 2 large dogs (Chesapeake bay retrievers) for the past 20 years. We lost our big guy in April 2024 and haven't had it in us to get another. So, we are ready to share our home and yard with your pup! I currently stay home with my two year old human and 7 year old dog. So, your dog will rarely ever be alone while boarded. We mostly just leave for my older kids sports events. I have a fully fenced acre for a backyard. It's a dog's paradise! I also have a female 7yo Chesapeake who is good with other dogs. I can keep dogs separate as needed. We have fostered before and had 0 issues. We generally keep dogs separated until they have proven compatible. She sleeps with our son. So, your dog could sleep with me. We have three kids, ages 2, 11, and 13. So, if you have a kid loving dog, we want to watch them!

“Cass was so sweet and helpful! Glad to have her help with my pups!”

“Great! This was our first experience with Rover; also we were visiting from out of town. We made arrangements to meet Heather prior to the drop-in visit. Everything went as scheduled; Heather came to our hotel on-time and did the drop-in visit at the time planned (she took and texted photos of our baby outside and her eating dinner). Heather was very easy to work with and I highly recommend her and if we return to the area will book her again with complete confidence.”

About: If your dog thinks every walk is an Olympic event, I'm ready for the challenge. I've been walking dogs in my neighborhood for 9 years and have two dogs of my own, so I know that every dog has a different personality. From energetic pullers to squirrel chasers to dogs who get excited when they see other pups, I've learned how to stay calm, patient, and in control while making sure they have fun. I'm comfortable giving medications, providing overnight care, and adapting to each dog's unique personality and needs. At 21, I have the energy for long walks and active dogs, but also the patience and experience to handle more challenging situations safely and calmly. I treat every dog as if they were my own and work hard to make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I’m currently a college student and also working full-time as an intern at a civil engineering firm, so my schedule is pretty structured during the day. The best times for me to care for pets are in the afternoons and evenings. At my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and part of the routine. I stick to their usual schedule as much as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications they need. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and don’t feel stressed while I'm away. In a client’s home, I try to keep things as normal as possible for the pet. I follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding times, walks, meds, or special care. I always make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and enough exercise and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and keep owners updated so they know their pet is doing well!

About: About Me: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable pet sitter who treats every animal like family. I have more than 10 years of experience with cats and dogs. My husband, our 5-year-old son, 8-year-old daughter and I care for pets together, so your cutie gets lots of attention, companionship, and a warm home atmosphere. We genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—playing, relaxing, and giving them the affection they deserve. We love the outdoors, so if your pet enjoys it too, we’re happy to include fun adventures like neighborhood walks, gentle hikes, and fresh-air outings—always tailored to your pet’s age, energy level, and routine. If I’m staying in a city with a nearby beach, such as San Jose or San Francisco (where I sometimes visit family), we may also enjoy a beach outing, always with your permission and only if it’s a good fit for your pet. For pets who prefer a quieter pace, we’re just as happy to provide calm companionship, enrichment, and cozy cuddle time at home. Cleanliness and health are a big priority for me. I take pride in maintaining a clean, safe environment—deep-cleaning litter boxes, keeping feeding areas tidy, refreshing water bowls, and making sure pet spaces stay comfortable and sanitary. I believe the small details truly make a big difference for pets and their families. Most importantly, I care for every animal as if they were my own. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to behavior cues, routines, and preferences—whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or senior. Daily Updates: I will send daily updates with photos and videos, so you can see how your pet is doing and feel relaxed while you’re away. I can also include notes on meals, walks/potty breaks, playtime, and overall mood if you’d like. What You Can Expect: Loving, family-style care and companionship Clean, healthy pet environment (litter box/feeding area hygiene) Routine-focused care (meals, meds if needed, walk schedules) Daily photo + video updates for peace of mind On a weekly basis, I set aside time for deeper tasks like thorough litter box cleaning, refreshing food and water stations, and ensuring medications or special diets are handled with care. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, these responsibilities don’t feel like chores — they’re a rewarding part of my everyday life. The boarding is available daily after around 3 p.m. When I board pets in my home, I treat them as part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. Pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible — including feeding times, walks, medications, and bedtime habits — so they feel comfortable and secure.

About: What started off as a favor for a friend turned into a genuine love for all pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand the guilt and sadness that comes with leaving your fur baby with a stranger, so it is my mission to make sure that the owner as well as the pet feel comfortable enough to put their trust in me. I am a student with a part time job. I have available time for any animal with any need. Evenings or even night walks are perfect. Boundaries are important, not only for the owner before the pet as well. That is always my top priority. As well as treating a pet as my own.

“Love the update and pictures. I know that cats were happy to see her.”

About: I’ve dog-sat and dog-walked since I was in college so for about 6 years now! I love dogs and I am so excited to meet a little piece of your family. I am currently in a career shift so I am open to walking your furry one if you need me to check in on lunch or just to keep them some company Monday-Thursday! I treat every pet like they are my own. I had 2 dogs growing up and loved them so much. I am also a very responsible person and will follow whatever you need from me!
