“We had a 10-day trip out of town and our initial boarding plan suddenly changed, so I had to scramble to find a dog sitter the night before our flight. Within minutes, Jessica reached out and came to meet Scrappy that same night, and was able to visit him every day while we were gone. She visited 3 times/day and sent us an update and pictures for every single visit. Even with last-minute car issues, she still managed to find a way to care for Scrappy. Jessica and her family were great with our dog and gave him lots of love and playtime. Would totally recommend!”

“Janae was great, she checked in on our cats for a couple days while we were out of town. We did an initial visit before the booking just to meet her and see how our cats reacted, they instantly took to her which was a relief. She also very kindly pulled in our trash bins while we were away, we did not expect that but very much appreciated! We would definitely book with Janae again.”

“This was our first experience with Rover and the entire process was perfect. From Tabitha's meet and greet with my cats, I knew we were in good hands. Tabitha worked with our schedule, kept us in the know with texts and pictures, and went above and beyond our expectations. She was not offended by our "skeptical of all new people" Millie and managed the needs and meds of our 22 year old Emi with gentle care and attention. Tabitha is a keeper!!!”

About: My healthcare background brings an extra level of reliability, attention to detail, safety, and calm presence. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special or unique needs. I am not only CPR and first aid certified for humans, but I have my certification for pets as well. 😊 My experience and comfort level extends beyond just cats and dogs as well. Whether you have a high energy puppy or a senior pet needing patient care, l’ll provide the highest level of love and compassionate care like I do for my own. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I naturally incorporate pet care into my schedule which allows time for walks, cuddles, enrichment, and keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while their family is away. I treat every client’s home and pets with the same care and respect as I want for my own home and pets. I follow detailed instructions, maintain routines, prioritize safety, provide updates, maintain cleanliness, and create a calm and comfortable environment while you’re away.

About: I have had dogs all my life. I currently have two golden retrievers who run my world! One is 4 and the other is 8 months old. I am available to stay at your house overnight and during long periods of time. I am a full time ultrasound student in Louisville but my school schedule is very flexible so I can come home to let the pups out multiple times per day! I am currently a full-time sonography student in Louisville, but my class schedule is very flexible. I am also available all weekends. I am able to stay overnight and take your pups out multiple times per day. I have two golden retrievers of my own (they are cared for by my dad when I am gone so they would not be coming with me) and they are SPOILED rotten. I will make sure your pup is the same! I am very active and love going on walks so that would be a part of our daily activities.

About: Had pets of my own and helped pet-sit for others since I was in middle school. I’ve always had a huge spot in my heart for all sorts of animals. I would say I’m good at walking bigger dogs due to daily strength training and owning a large dog of my own. I make my own schedule for my sales job, therefore I can work things out to be able to take proper care of your fur baby! I have a dog and cat at my apartment, and both are friendly with other animals. Can easily crate my animals or yours depending on your wants. Can either come to your place or bring your pets to mine. However, I don’t have a fenced in yard and have to walk fur babies on a leash if coming to my place.

About: I have been a lifelong lover of all animals in every shape, size, and species! I grew up with a dog and cat and now I have my own dog and 3 cats! I did long term pet sitting for two years while in college and now I’m ready to return full time! Animals have always been my passion in life so I cannot wait to meet yours! I also previously worked in a vet clinic so I now have knowledge in animal handling, grooming, administrating medication, and a basic understanding of common pet issues/illnesses. Fitness is also a passion of mine so I would love to take your pets on fun, long walks around the area! I am also a portrait photographer on the side so you are guaranteed to get good photos of your beautiful fur babies! My own dog, Mateo, has always been a spirited pup to say the least! With that I have gained some knowledge with basic dog training. Have a puller on your walks? I can help with it! Need some help with basic commands for a feisty puppy? I got you covered! My goal now is to solely focus on providing pet care and start building my photography business! I am available anytime Monday-Friday but also open to weekends. I love a good schedule so I would absolutely love to have reoccurring clients! I absolutely care for your pets as if they were my own. I know how hard it can be to have to leave your precious babies in someone else’s care but I promise to update you every step of the way! From when I arrive to your home, during the visit, and when I am leaving your home. If you have any questions during the visit I will be able to answer you right away! My top priority is not only your pet but also making sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.

About: My number one priority is keeping your animals happy and safe, and my number two priority is making you feel comfortable knowing that your babies are in good hands. I have grown up with animals and have years of experience dog-walking and pet-sitting for all kinds of creatures, from dogs and cats to rabbits and reptiles and beyond. I have experience administrating pills to dogs and cats. I also have experience with dogs that have seizures or epilepsy. I work part-time at the library so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. Otherwise, my personal work is remote and flexible. I want to know and respect the rules of your house, whether the dog isn’t allowed on the couch, or the cat is restricted to a certain amount of treats, and so on.

About: I’ve worked with dogs for over 20 years, with much of that time spent walking and handling shelter dogs—especially those that are anxious or unsure. That experience taught me how important calm, structure, and consistency are in helping dogs feel more confident. I run Trail & Heel, a dog training and adventure-based care service in Louisville. I focus on practical, real-world training—whether that’s working with puppies, improving leash manners, or helping nervous dogs build confidence. Every walk and interaction is handled with intention. For me, care and training go hand in hand, with the goal of helping dogs become calmer, more reliable, and easier to live with. I'm a dog trainer, I fit in Rover appointments among by client work when it's possible to do so. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life, so it fits naturally into my routine. Care is always tailored to the dog and the service, but the approach stays consistent: calm, structured, and intentional. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine—feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions—while also reinforcing good habits like leash manners, calm greetings, and settling. In my home, I keep the environment structured and low-stress. Dogs get supervised time, appropriate exercise (including trail walks when it’s a good fit), and clear boundaries so they can relax and succeed. I only take on a small number of dogs at a time to make sure each one gets the attention they need.

About: I own my own dog, who is well trained, along with caring for neighbors dogs, and training. I have puppy sat at my own home for multiple nights. In my free time I watch a lot of dog training videos and love to do animal research. I enjoy cats while I do have limited experience. I am a full time college student however, I have my evenings free on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and weekends work great for me as well. I love dog training and I am extremely passionate about animal research, so I love to learn more. I am detail oriented, I have a dog of my own, and I actively pet sit. I am really good with communication, and respond frequently and in a timely manner, and I am relatively flexible with timing if need be.

He asked great questions about our dog's care before we left and reached out to us while watching him with updates and pictures. When we met in person, it was clear Ian and Crew got along great.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for more than 15 years and grew up with dogs, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I genuinely love dogs of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic medication, senior dogs, puppies, and of course plenty of attention and snuggles. I’m also comfortable getting to know each dog’s individual routine, personality, and quirks. I know how much I worry about my own dog when I’m away, so I’ll treat yours with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want someone to give mine. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits in the evenings during the week and have more flexibility throughout the weekends. Whether your dog needs a good walk, a potty break, playtime, or just some extra attention and company, I’m happy to work with their normal routine and make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I know every dog is different, so I’ll take the time to learn what makes yours comfortable and happy. I’m also respectful of your home and will always make sure your pet is safe and everything is secure before I leave. And because I know how reassuring it is when someone else is caring for your dog, I’m happy to send photos and updates during every visit!

Melanie has been my pet sitter for six months now and is with my dog most days of the week. I was nervous when I first reached out to Melanie because my dog is not easy by any means--she is high-strung and high-maintenance. And yet, Melanie has never given me a reason not to trust her. She is dependable, trustworthy, and experienced. With Melanie, I do not worry about my dog when I am gone on my long work days. I come home and my pup is happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Melanie's services.

Absolutely loved having Ashlea care for our girl gang of kitties! 2 of our girls are newly adopted shelter kittens and very shy. They didn’t hesitate for one second to get close with Ashlea and I could tell they quickly looked forward to seeing her each day. She will definitely be my go-to for pet sitting from now on. Thankful for the great care she took of our pets and our home ☺️

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Middletown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Middletown is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 1,151 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 .

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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
