“We left our sweet girl with Sarah and Matthew and are so glad we did! She was well taken care of, looked so happy exploring their land and visiting the pigs, and came home calm and happy. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl!!”
“Nicole has watched our pup Twyla now for years. She’s so easy going and clearly knows a ton about dogs. We love traveling and it’s so great to have such a competent and caring dog sitter for when we’re away.”
About: My name is ebony and I have always loved dogs my whole life. Before working for Rover, I would travel from Toledo, Ohio to Hamilton/Fairfield which is estimately a 3 hour drive without a problem to dog sit for my sister and I absolutely enjoyed doing it. According to relocating, now I live in Middletown Ohio and working toward starting a dog sitting businesss. My sister introduced me to rover and I am excited to be doing business with different types of dogs and people. I am willing to walk, feed, play and keep your dog company. Not only those services but I am offering a free dog grooming service the first time i watch your pup. If you give me a chance at watching your dog I can prove to you how much I enjoy them and I’m pretty sure they will enjoy me being around just as much, maybe even more. Please no unruly dogs, Soon i will be able and certified in training dogs. Thank you for reading my introduction and I hope you have a delightful day!! I am still new to Rover but I definitely have an open schedule for any dog service needed. I am flexible with any day of the week as well as time. I have a unfenced backyard, so prefer dog to have a leash. I do not mind taking the dog to a park either. I don't mind taking the dog for a walk. It is not required but highly recommended as your dog is house trained due to the fact I have no pets at all and I am in process of learning how to train thanks to rover but not yet certified.
“Luna had a great time with Christina. Receiving the photos of Luna with a smile on her face was so reassuring to us while we were away on vacation. Luna had a wonderful time with Christina's children and their dog Rylee. Christina did a wonderful job. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Luna. I can tell she misses your family.”
“Melissa and her family were absolutely wonderful. They watched our boy for 5 days when we had to travel for a wedding! Pickup and drop off was a breeze. Melissa was always prompt with her responses and kept us posted with pictures! We don't leave him very often so he is quite anxious with strangers but meeting Melissa and her girls made us feel comfortable to leave him. I would definitely drop him off with her anytime! Thanks Melissa!”
“Jennifer treats your dog as if they're part of her own family. Her genuine love for animals truly shine through. We were beyond impressed with her care and attention! We'll absolutely be back!”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and experience providing care for others. I understand the importance of building trust, following routines, and paying close attention to individual needs. My background caring for adults with developmental disabilities has strengthened my ability to be responsible, observant, and compassionate—qualities that are just as important when caring for pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their personality, preferences, and comfort level. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm environment, I adapt my care to meet their needs. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications when needed, and providing extra attention to puppies, senior pets, or pets that may be anxious while their owners are away. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for throughout their stay. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I have experience providing dependable care for others and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to individual needs. I enjoy spending time with animals and am comfortable incorporating feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, and companionship into my day. I believe pets thrive when they have structure, exercise, and plenty of affection, and I take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my client's home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, exercise, medications, and any special care needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while ensuring pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for. If providing care in my home, I create a safe, pet-friendly environment with regular feeding schedules, exercise, supervised play, fresh water, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to each pet's personality and needs to help them feel comfortable and reduce any stress from being away from home.
“Amanda was great. She send updates and pictures daily. Our dog also has anxiety so it was good for her to be around people and other dogs and not crated all day. I would recommend Amanda!”
“First overnight for Marigold! Happy to say that she had a great time and was well taken care of by Sabrina and family. This is our second time with Sabrina and we will definitely use her again.”
“Dean had the most pawlicious day ever 🐾💛 As a rescue pup parent, I’m always a little extra cautious—but wow, they made it so easy to relax. We got so many sweet photo updates and little messages throughout the day, and each one felt like a mini window into Dean’s adventure. Honestly, I think he forgot we existed for a bit 😄 He played his heart out, explored, and looked SO genuinely happy in every single picture. You could just tell he felt safe, loved, and totally at home—which is everything we could ask for. Thank you for treating our boy like your own and giving him a day full of tail wags and joy. We’ll definitely be back for more Dean-approved playdates 🐶✨”
“We highly recommend Kat! Her communication with us while she had our senior bulldog FAR exceeded any expectations! She is so easy to work with and will take great care of your pet. Love her!”
“Daisy loves staying with April! It’s almost like a home away from home for her! She’s such a caring person! (I almost don’t want to tell everyone how fantastic she is because it could limit her availability for Daisy at some point). We feel very fortunate to have found her (and Maple)!”
“Dariana was an excellent sitter for Luna. She was responsive, flexible, and provided regular updates. Luna very clearly was happy and comfortable during her stay. I would 100% recommend her! 😊”
“Kanika and Jan were great! They sent updates frequently and have been so understanding and accommodating with my schedule. Will continue booking with them in the future, I highly recommend them! They also administered medication to my dog when he was sick. They are awesome!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Middletown
Lindsey was able to accommodate me with less than a week of warning. She had a small dog who barked a bit at my older pet but became very friendly. Despite my dog’s separation anxiety he looked but as happy and healthy as he was when I dropped him off. Would definitely book with her again.
Mckenzie was great! Her dog Ducky and my dog Teddy became fast friends, and I felt guilty making him leave to go home. Haha! Mckenzie's backyard and friendly dogs, along with her experience and sweet personality, lead to a great sitter experience. Thank you, Mckenzie, for taking good care of my fur baby!
Emily was a wonderful host for my dog! She was very accommodating on a last minute booking and even provided a meet and greet prior to boarding my pup. She worked with me to ensure my pup was going to have a stress-free stay. I have a high energy Australian shepherd and daily I was sent updates with pictures and notes of how he was doing. Emily’s family welcomed my pup as their own and when my pup returned home you could visibly see how happy and well taken care of he was! Thank you Emily and happy new year!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Middletown is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $37 per night.

As of October 2026, there are 936 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 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.
95% 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, 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 , 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 .
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 OH 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.
