“I have no worries when my pup is in the hands of Kelley, she takes good care! Once again, Kelley is very friendly and patient with my high energy husky. I appreciate her fast responses and pictures.”
“We are so grateful for Sterlin! She accepted extremely last minute on a holiday when we needed someone to watch our dog, Reggie, during our family beach day trip to Ocean City, NJ. She welcomed us inside right away, introduced Reggie to her other dogs, and helped him acclimate quickly to the new environment. Throughout the day, she sent us thoughtful photo updates of Reggie smiling and playing, which was so reassuring. Her home is also conveniently located just off the exit, making drop-off and pick-up easy. What else can we say—we’ll absolutely be using Sterlin again whenever we’re in town. Thank you, Sterlin!”
“The timing of our rescue arriving & out pre-purchased/non-refundable/pet-free vacation couldn’t have been worse: we only had one week with our sweet London before we had to leave her. As such, we spent a LOT of time reading reviews for a sitter who would provide a lot of attention, affection, and consistency. We truly couldn’t have picked a better person than Denise. We explained the pickle we found ourselves in and Denise immediately understood & put our minds at ease. From the first meeting, we could tell Denise loved dogs. She has a great backyard full of toys that our pup adored, and above all, Denise’s kind and gentle demeanor made London right at home. The frequent updates and photos made us certain we made the right choice. They certainly bonded over their week together & we will be sure to use Denise in the future! We recommend Denise 100%.”
“Kathleen was great. She kept us updated each day of our trip how Charlie was doing and sent pics of him. Highly recommend her for watching your pet! It was so nice knowing he was being taken care of properly while we were away! Will definitely rebook in the future! Thanks Kathleen!”
“Kirk and Joy hosted my pups, Beckett and Trix for the past few days. I don’t think they wanted to come home after being so spoiled. As a pet parent, I was thrilled with timely communication, daily pictures and a safe environment for my pups. Peace of mind is priceless and Kirk/Joy do everything possible to make it happen!”
“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“I am pleased that Myles was well cared for by Jim. Myles received the same pampered attention with Jima as he receives at home. It was also comforting to receive periodic photos to see how well Myles adjusted to his new environment. I would use Jim again in the future.”
“Lisa took wonderful care of my Honey. She kept me updated with texts & pictures. She took Honey on lots of walks, and even did an art project with Honey which she gave to me. I was very nervous having never left my Honey with anyone except my daughter. Lisa exceeded my expectations and I will be using her again and again! I am thrilled to have found Lisa! And I highly recommend Lisa!”
“Kateri is the BEST! I was nervous about boarding our pup at first but I am so glad I did. Kateri provided updates, pictures and video's throughout the entire week we were away. She understands puppies can be a handful and still did a great job with our 5-month old pup Stella. Kateri has a HUGE fenced yard that provided plenty of room for Stella to run, play and of course have fun with Kateri's adorable 2 yr old dog Maze. They had so much fun together. So thankful we found someone so caring. We will definitely be booking again soon. Highly recommend Kateri.”
“It was obvious during the meet and greet when I introduced my 3 dogs to Rebecca that they were going to be in good hands! Rebecca loves dogs and it shows. My dogs took to her right away, and I know I will book with her again! I’m extremely grateful to Rebecca for the peace of mind she gave me, and for providing me with updates and pictures during their stay with her.”
“Mariah was AMAZING! Our sweet lab mutt has been experiencing some new anxiety post pandemic isolation. Lately she growls at other dogs who go near her food dish, and we were very nervous about leaving our previously always friendly and fun loving dog in another home. How wrong we were! I actually think staying with Mariah was therapeutic for our dog. She joined the pack seamlessly with Mariah's guidance and we felt confident that Mariah could set good boundaries for her. She cuddled and played with everyone, and loved sitting looking out on the beach in Mariah's fenced in yard. She had an absolute blast and I felt confident my dog was with someone who had a ton of experience and understood animal psychology. Mariah was a total sweetie and kept us posted on how our dog was doing with pictures and texts twice a day. I will definitely be booking with her again when I am in the area!”
“Marci watched our Nova Bean for our wedding weekend and we couldn’t have been more satisfied with her care. Nova was in great hands and she made sure he was clean & ready to go to walk down the aisle! She updated us with images all weekend and kept us in the loop on how he was doing. Marci made nova feel right at home and even got him to eat his medicine!! If you need a reliable and wonderful dog sitter, Marci is your perfect person!!”

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.
93% 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 NJ 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.
