“I cannot recommend Shyann enough! I had to make a last-minute booking, and they completely exceeded my expectations. Even with the short notice, they insisted on doing a meet-and-greet to make sure my dog was comfortable and that all instructions were clear—a level of professionalism and care I truly didn't expect given the tight timeline. They are reliable, incredibly sweet with my pup, and provided fantastic updates. It is such a relief to find someone so dependable and accommodating. I will absolutely be booking again!”
“Hanna did an excellent job stopping by my house each day to care for my two cats while I was away on a trip. She fed them, cleaned and filled their water bowls, cleaned the litter boxes, disposed of the litter in the garbage can outside, and paid special attention to them each day ❤️. It was awesome that she sent me photos and videos of her petting and playing with them! And it let me know that they were in good hands while I was away. I can’t express my gratitude enough. Thank you, Hanna!”
About: I have taken care of my pets as well as my family’s pets and they are a huge part of my life, even now! I have had many types of pets as well, cats, dogs, spiders, birds, hamsters, rats, gerbils and more! I have always grown up around animals and know what signs to look for in the way of ensuring a pets safety! I currently work a full-time job from 9AM to 4:30PM and then I go home, walk my dog, feed him, and make the time to play with him and keep him in good health! I have a fenced in small back-yard with space for them to go to the bathroom, and feed them in our kitchen! My mother-in-law is a vet tech, so I know what signs to watch for, when it comes to health, as well! I have plenty of space to keep them entertained in the house as well, such as a large living room, which can be used to keep a crate if needed, and I am comfortable with crafting your pets as well!
“Alyssa took amazing care of Gus! He really enjoyed seeing her every day, getting lots of play time and snuggles! She did everything perfectly and I will definitely rebook with her in the future! Great communication and photos!”
“Jyllian was absolutely amazing as my cat sitter. I was away on an extended trip and was nervous about having to leave my cat for that long. She went above and beyond with updating me and provided very detailed summaries each day along with so many pictures which showed how much love she put into caring for my cat. Not only that, but she is a vet tech so that made me feel even more comfortable in case something went wrong. She truly has the biggest heart for animals and I would very easily recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much, Jyllian!!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Middletown
Emma did a great job with our dogs. I contacted her last minute due to our other sitter cancelling on us. She informed me that she could drop in on them and made it to our house right on time. Both our dogs loved her and she contacted me when she had a question. We will definitely be having Emma sit for us again. She is timely, well mannered, and a joy to be around. Olive and Casper felt super loved.
Beth was wonderful! She came up to greet the pets before the stay since our female dog is very shy. Her reports each day were very thorough and she was attentive to each animals' needs. We had a hiccup with our intact female dog hitting heat right when we left but Beth handled it beautifully. All three animals looked great when we got back. We were so thankful she could take a last minute booking for a holiday weekend and was able to give our puppies timely potty breaks even with us living in a third floor apartment. We would definitely use her again.

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.

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 .

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.

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.
