“Laci took such great care of my pup while I was gone at work everyday. He loved her instantly because she spent the entire visit playing with him and giving him lots of love. I truly appreciate her for treating my pup as if he were her own ❤️”
About: I’ve had many pets over the years, and I know how special and important they are in our lives. I have taken care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors; from puppies/ kittens to very special seniors. My children are adults now, so I am very flexible as far as scheduling goes, in order to meet your and your pet’s needs. I come to you! I will carry out your instructions in your pet’s own environment, and make sure they are safe and happy, keeping feedings in mind, as well as doors or gates that need to stay closed.
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
About: Hi! I’m Savannah! I was born and raised in Ohio! I used to do FFA and 4h I’ve worked with dogs, cats, fish, lizards and much more! I grew up with just about anything! I’d love to hang around all your animals to! Pet care fits into my routine by my flexible schedule I work with merchandising which allows me multiple hours in between shifts to do on walks, or just hang out with animals for a bit! In my clients homes we will go on walks with leashes, I will follow the directions that are also given to me by the owners of the animals to insure they stay safe!
“Brandon looked and took care of our dogs as if it was his own. He is also very communicative and provided us daily updates. Also went the extra mile and cleaned after our pups even though he didn’t have to…highly recommend! And def would rebook again!”
“We are so lucky to have Rachelle. She’s incredibly dedicated and really takes the time to focus on our crazy puppy. She makes sure he gets all his play time and potty breaks, and works on his training also. She always keeps us in the loop, makes sure we are on the same page with routine/training and sends updates everyday. We would 100% recommend!”
About: I have grown up taking care of our family dogs (2 Labs). My husband and I had a sweet chihuahua and currently have 2 cats. We love our boys and make our own cat food. I have taken care of pets for extended family, as well. I would love to help take care of your furry friends. I work from home, so it is easy for me to run out on a lunch break or between meetings to care for an animal. I would be upfront with my schedule so you would know about what time I would arrive to care for the pet. If you would like me to send photos of your pets when I visit, I'm happy to do so! I will follow any guidelines you provide for caring for your pet. Our cats require a certain level of attention and I would bring that same level of attention to your pet.
“Lisa did an amazing job taking care of our three pups! She is reliable, communicative, and treated them like her own. I appreciated that she reached out to confirm date/timing the day before, and reviewed specifics of the needs for our senior pup ahead of time too. We came home to three happy, well-loved dogs—highly recommend! 🐾🐾🐾”
“Sophia was great! She took amazing care of our dogs and kept us updated while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We’d definitely book with her again!”
About: I have cared for dogs of every kind, size, and age since before I was 10 years old. I have lived with and loved my own dogs for years. I’ve raised them from puppies to happy adults, and cared for friends, family, and neighbors dogs, including many senior dogs and puppies. I love to take dogs on long walks, play with them, or just cuddle and pet them. I am also very good with cats, and have loved and cared for many kitties as well. Your pets are promised a safe, reliable, and loving place in my care. Beginning August 3rd, I attend a nursing program Monday 8am-3pm. I also work a part time job now, and will be during the school year as well. This allows me plenty of free time to care for and play with your fur babies! My schedule is not set and consistent, so I will provide you what times I would be away at work depending on when you need me! I am very experienced when it comes to pet care, I can bathe, feed, walk, play with, and provide any care your pup or kitty may need. I understand some dogs may need more care and attention than others, and I am more than willing to provide that! I will also make sure your home stays clean. You will come back to happy, healthy, and safe pets, inside a clean home!
About: I’ve cared for many types of animals of different shapes and sizes in various animal shelter, grooming, and veterinary settings. From pets, to livestock, and exotic reptiles. I’m currently a veterinary technician student as well. Your Companion deserves Time, Love, and Care and my purpose in life is to provide them that. I’m very passionate about this line of work. As a current full time Remote Veterinary student, I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available 5 days week in the mornings and afternoons. When I care for your pet in your home my routine is to treat them like family and your home like a sacred space. I am more than willing to respect all boundaries put in place in order to do my job properly. I am a helicopter pet parent so your little guy or gal is safe with me.
About: I’m very caring about the animals I watch and I make sure they get the attention they deserve. I love being active with them too. I have to get up early for school so I can go on my way there. Or I can go in the evening after sports. I make sure my pets are fed, let out a lot, and making sure they get a lot of attention. Also, getting lots of treats.
About: I’ve worked in veterinary medicine for 3 years currently. I have a ton of experience with all size dogs and cats! I would love to take care of your babies. I do work full time but there is always wiggle room for your pets! I would love to take time out of my day for some puppy love. I would try to follow the same routine that you would typically follow and be as loving as I can be so your pet isn’t lonely!
“Karla did a wonderful job with Rudy. He has special needs and she was very conscientious of getting the steps to his feeding and meds correct. Rudy enjoys spending time with Karla!”
About: I am very passionate about animals, dogs and cats especially! Love them so much. Your fur babies will be so incredibly loved, adored, spoiled, and so happy by me when I am done with them and they return to you safe and sound. They are so important to me and I will treat them like I would for my own, well disciplined when misbehaving, loved, have fun with them, give them lots of attention and treat them with respect as well. I represent these animals on behalf of them and thier owners since they can't speak for themselves. You will be able to tell the difference in their attitude and behavior of how much love and attention they got from me. I love the outdoors and driving my friends dogs around because I don't like to leave them by themselves all the time. Dogs are family. I have so much passion for these beautiful animals. I hope to have these wonderful opportunity to show you guys. Please note that if there is any messes in my home, there will be a $20 to $30 fee additional to the total cost of my clean up fee. I have to use my cleaning supplies and they are not cheap. I would appreciate your help and understanding with this. I have learned this the hard way and will set this request upfront for pet sitting at my home. I love dogs and cats so very much and am so happy to do thus job. I hope this is a very reasonable request. Thank you all!

Emily has been taking care of my dog now with mid-day breaks for several months now and I am so thankful to have her as an extra caretaker for my pet.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Middletown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Middletown choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Middletown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
