About: Ive had all kinds of pets my entire life-everything from dogs and cats to hamsters and guinea pigs to lizards and snakes. I love all animals! While I dont have a lot of experience pet sitting, I'm always ready for a challenge. My second ever pet sitting client had 6 dogs! I understand the important of routine for our furry babies and I do my best to follow their regular routine, including meds or other special instructions necessary for their comfort! I am also willing to help with other pets if needed- including rodents, reptiles, and amphibians! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work full time but am able to do drop ins before and after work! My schedule is flexible when I need it to be so mid-day drop ins may be an option if you are near my place of employment. I take special care to follow instructions on how to keep your pets comfy, safe, and secure! I also prefer to meet the pets and owners before I sit so that the pet has an opportunity to meet me with their comfort person around!
“Amber quickly reached ‘Auntie’ Amber status after just a couple visits. All 3 dogs took her right away. She provided reliable service when we were in a bind. Highly recommend Amber!”
“Thank you for all the pictures, updates, and for taking such great care of my pups on such short notice! Dara was very prompt and gave them the full amount of time. I could tell from the pictures that they were their happy selves and really enjoyed making a new friend. I truly appreciate the care and attention Dara gave them!”
“Callie was great with communication and solved a problem with a food mixup to make sure our dogs were taken care of. She is definitely someone I recommend for drop in support. Thanks Callie!”
“Lindsey took a very short notice booking for my cats, communicated well, and made sure they were taken care of. She also brought in my mail and did a few other tasks while I was away. Highly recommend working with her!!”
About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable providing everything from walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention to bathing, brushing, and basic grooming when needed. I also enjoy working with puppies and helping reinforce potty training, routines, and good habits. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet loves being active and playing, going on walks, or simply cuddling and relaxing, I’m happy to adjust their care to what makes them happiest. I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own pets. I’m available as needed for any pet sitting. If you have a specific schedule that is needed, I’m more than willing to abide by it. I currently have dogs in my own home and have had a cat. I have picked up some of my clients animals from their home to watch them at my house, as well as going to their house and caring for them in the comfort of their own home. I love going on walks and cuddling with all pets.
“I D K if my other reviews showed up as my phone is not right!! I can’t see them. Courtney V is fantastic, has a sweet personality, is confident and exceeded my expectations!!! I will recommend her to all who need her ❤️💜”
“Wonderful person & petsitter! I felt confident my cat & home would be in good care and after a holiday weekend's drop-in visits, I was proven 100% correct. I know for future petsitting needs I'm keeping Bethany as my top pick!”
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.
“Laci was great dropping in on our dogs during our week long vacation. From start to finish she was easy to communicate with and our dogs were happy and well cared for when we returned and we look forward to booking with Laci again!”
About: i’ve had dogs as long as i can remember. i currently have a pit/boxer and a GSD. training the gsd to be my service dog. i am excited to work with you and your four legged family member(s). dogs are family to me. weekend workers i am here for you. late evenings may be arranged as well. drop in visits and/or walks will be around your neighborhood unless i notify you or you request in advance for a certain location you prefer. i will also carry treats with me. let me know if there are treats your dog is allergic to.
“Courtney was a great help. My babies were well taken care of and she saved me when my sitter canceled at the last minute. She is very punctual and reliable. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
About: Hello I’m James! I’ve always loved dogs, and I know that they’re more than pets… they’re family. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your best friend. My dog Auggie, has taught me the value of patience, consistency, and making every dog feel safe and loved. Pet care is a big part of my life as I love walking my dog Auggie and playing with him as much as possible. Looking after a dog is something I enjoy and not just a job! I have a flexible schedule this summer which allows me to provide reliable walks, drop ins, and visits throughout the week. When caring for pets, I always try to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m in your home or taking your dog for a walk, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important communication is, so I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Lisa took great care of our Boston terriers. She is dependable and very communicative. We prefer to keep our dogs at home versus boarding so the drop in visits worked out great. Definitely plan on rebooking with Lisa in the future.”
About: I have an unconditional love for all animals. Ever since I was a young child, I have always wanted to care for animals. I have a mini American Shepard puppy named Buster, and love spending as much time with him as I can. If okay, Buster will be with me at almost all times. I guarantee to give your dog as much love as if they were my own. Other than being able to spend almost every night (overnight) with your dog, I am available Monday evenings (after 4) and Saturday Mornings (before 2) to be with your pup. I am a full-time college student, with a part-time job looking to earn extra money. Please let me know of any questions, and I hope to see you soon!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Middletown
We asked Amber to take care of our cats while we were out of town. Amber communicated effectively and was easy to speak to. She came over and went over our pets’ needs and answered all my questions. I’ve never used Rover before and I felt at ease with her. She was prompt in coming to the house and doing her best to take pictures if possible (they like to hide). We didn’t worry about them at all while we were gone. I am very happy with how everything went and I will be booking with her again in the future!
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. She is great with my dog and really goes the extra mile (even my pup had an upset belly one day☹️) Emily is truly an excellent choice for anyone looking for someone to help with their animals!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Middletown on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,764 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Middletown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Middletown. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
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.
