About: What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like they're part of my own family. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog's unique personality and routine. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, affection, and mental stimulation while following their owner's instructions closely. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages, so owners have peace of mind knowing their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I as well specialize in : V Drop-in Visits: Every 30 minute visit includes a photo update, fresh water, potty break, playtime, and a full report card. Not just a quick hello! House Sitting: I provide daytime check-ins every 4-6 hours for meals, potty breaks, and playtime, plus overnight companionship so your pet never feels alone in their own home. You'll receive regular photo and video updates throughout my stay so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. 30 minute Dog Walks: a fun stroll around your neighborhood or nearby trail with a mid-walk photo update and enough exercise and mental stimulation to keep your pup happy all day. I specialize in : •Medication administration •Feeding routines •Litter box care • Senior pets •Shy or anxious pets • Puppies & high-energy dogs New to Rover, not new to pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and make caring for them a priority. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship they need. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, or evening care, I'm committed to providing reliable, consistent care. I also keep pet owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and happy while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, take them on walks or let them out for bathroom breaks, provide playtime and affection, and give any medications according to the owner's instructions if needed. I also keep the home clean by picking up after pets, cleaning food and water bowls, and respecting the client's space. Throughout the stay, I send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

Heather was excellent - I would highly recommend her. She stayed overnight with my 15 year old dog and gave him his meds as well. I felt very comfortable with her in the house and Munson, my shitzu, loved her.

About: I’ve always had and been around family pets. Pets are such a blessing to each and every family. I’d love to help those of you who may need a little extra help while you’re out making money for their treats and toys I have full time availability. Any hour of any day will work, I just need a heads up. As long as I can have hours for self care, I’m good to go! I will make sure any and all pets are cared for. I’ll be sure to ask questions like if your cat is permitted to be outdoors and if your dog door darts! As well as any special needs they may have or special diets.

Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including both large and small dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, turtles, and fish. My professional background includes working at a veterinary clinic for several months, followed by a year and a half at an animal humane society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals with diverse needs. I currently work at a doggy daycare, where I continue to build my knowledge of canine behavior, safety, and care. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided dog and house sitting services for family friends. I am experienced in caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and specialized care they require. As a lifelong animal lover, I also care for a variety of pets of my own, including three dogs, five cats, a rabbit, and a betta fish. My hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments allows me to provide dependable, compassionate, and attentive care for every pet as if they were my own. I work Monday through Friday, typically from 6:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., which gives me plenty of time each afternoon and evening to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship for your pets. I also have weekends completely free, allowing me to dedicate full days to giving your furry family members the love, attention, and care they deserve. I am committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and always follow the owner's instructions and routine. I strive to provide at least 30 minutes of playtime and enrichment activities during each visit. For pets without access to a fenced yard, I also provide approximately 30 minutes of neighborhood walks, depending on the pet's age, size, energy level, and overall health. Afterward, I continue engaging them with indoor play or enrichment activities to keep them mentally and physically stimulated.

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'm an animal lover eager to help take care of your pet with as little disruption or stress to their normal routines and expectations! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and cats particularly for walks, check-ins, and house sitting. I have regularly taken care of friend's and family's pets since 2024, and it brings me great joy. I am self-employed with a primarily travel-based career, combined with some light work-from-home, meaning I can make your pet the primary focus when I'm available for booking. Much of my work is contained to weekends so I can help particularly with weekday care. My primary focus is to be a highlight of your pet's day, or at least maintain their (and your!) usual routines and expectations as best I can. I offer walks, visits, crating, or longer-term pet sitting in your house. Any special requests or routines for your pets are my priority while they are in my care!

About: I have loved animals ever since I was born. They are my favorite thing in life. I will treat your animal with the most love I can offer. I’m more of a stay-at-home person, so when I am committed to watching your pet, they will be well taken care of while in my care. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space for a dog to play in! I have 2 cats but they are very antisocial and won’t be a problem. I’m also a quick learner and a natural when it comes to pet care!

Katie was amazing!!! She was recommended to us by a friend, to House sit our puppy while we went on vacation. We were very concerned that leaving our baby in a kennel might change his personality, as he is only 7 months old. Katie laid our fears to rest, she came to meet Hank to make sure that they would get along well. Best friends at first sight. During her stay with Hank she: *Kept up his training *long lease free walks *snacks and meals exactly as we had planned *naps and sleep times unchanged We think Hank is a better dog because of his time with her! Hank is our priority, but it should be mentioned that she took care of our home as well, Like we never left. We can't say enough great things, we got pictures and updates, she was available every time we called to check in. She will be our first call for a sitter for Hank, (a very spoiled Lab) and we highly recommend Katie to all our friends!! Thank You Katie for a great Vacation.

About: Hi! I'm Liv, a lifelong dog lover with professional experience working at a busy dog daycare (The Ruff House). I've cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities-from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. Growing up with dogs and fostering puppies has taught me how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m currently taking online college classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care for your pets. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra company, I’m happy to work around their routine. I’m available most days and will always communicate clearly about scheduling to make sure your pet gets the care they deserve. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, keep doors and gates secure, ensure fresh food and water are always available, and provide lots of attention and enrichment. I have professional experience supervising dogs in a daycare setting, so safety is always my priority. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away.

About: I understand that different breeds of dogs need different structures and require different levels of exercise and enrichment. I am very patient and am willing to work with and help train any dogs that may need it. I can work with big or small, high energy or low energy, social or shy! I currently work in the healthcare field and am using this opportunity to branch out into new experiences. I have a relatively open schedule, given that I only work 3 days a week It's important to uphold a clean and safe environment for any animal, so I make sure that there is nothing an animal can get into that they shouldn't. I have 3 lovely cats which receive plenty of love, properly portioned food, and water with dental care add in. Thankfully we have an electric litter box but I am no stranger to cleaning a litter box! I also make sure they're properly groomed and have clean ears, and occasionally they get a good walk when it's nice out! I have owned a dog in the past who received frequent walks, lots of love and play time, properly portioned food, and I paid attentive care to his needs. I also owned two rabbits, who received plenty of hay and enrichment through playtime, a constantly full water bowl, and plenty of space to run around and exercise, as well as proper grooming and nail trimmings frequently For any animal, I know it's important to pay attention and access care plans frequently in order to keep them happy and healthy! So I ensure your furry family member will be properly cared for and I do everything I can to make their lives better

This was our first time using a pet sitter and Karla did a great job. She answered all our questions. Karla was on time and respectful of our house. She took excellent care of our dog and two cats. Karla walked our dog and played the laser mouse with all the pets. We received cute pictures of our pets also. We would definitely book Karla again in the future and recommend her to other pet owners.

About: I have grown up having cats and dogs my whole life. I absolutely love taking care of them and giving them as much love as I can all the time. I have experience with walking mine and my friends dogs, and I've also volunteered with dogs and walked dogs from shelters. I currently work part time as a pet counselor at Petland where some of my responsibilities include helping take care of small animals and assisting the kennel technicians with the care of our puppies. I am newly married and am wanting to make some side money while working part time. I couldn't think of a better way to spend my free time than with dogs and cats and loving and caring for them. I am extremely flexible to help out, I was a previous college athlete and I'm very active throughout my day, I can help with dog walking, as well as looking after your pets. I am trustworthy and can guarantee I'll give your dogs/ cats plenty of kisses and cuddles. I love walks myself and love to take dogs on long walks. I can bathe them, brush them, feed them, and overall just play with them and give your dogs and cats lots of attention.

FAQs for House Sitting - Middletown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Middletown on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,571 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Middletown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Middletown walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Middletown maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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!

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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
