“Jaden quickly won over both our doggos and cats. He even managed to get our super duper scaredy cat to like him! He diligently provided the additional care we requested like watering plants, taking them for walks, and playing with their favorite toys. We also came home to a well kept home. We will be using him again and highly recommend.”
“Evan was wonderful with Mabel! He took such great care of her in our home, and his communication throughout gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a very happy, calm, and clearly well-loved Great Dane. ❤️ It was obvious Mabel enjoyed having him here! We would absolutely have Evan watch her again and highly recommend him!”

“We’ve had Adam housesit for us a few times now and he always does a splendid job! We get pictures and updates every day. He takes time to learn the animals personalities and if he has any questions/concerns, he always asks which we appreciate! Our animals love him and he takes great care of our house too! We would absolutely have him housesit again!”
“Anna is a natural. We have 2 Dobermans. Our female can be quite intimidating but Anna was very calm and poised in her presence. We appreciate how well she stuck to our pups schedule and sent us frequent “pup”dates to alleviate any worries we may have had otherwise. Our home was exactly the way we left it. Anna deserves to be a 5 Star Sitter.”
“Makenzie is the best! I can't say enough good things about her. She is accommodating, passionate, and amazing watching our little girl. She checks in daily, sends pics, and even shoveled my driveway!”
“First experience with rover. Will only go back to Candice going forward. Gave frequent updates and pictures, was incredible with our Oreo. Would recommend to anyone in the area. She was also super easy to coordinate with.”
“Ronny is the best dog sitter we've ever had! He truly cares about our pets. He keeps them active, keeps in contact with me with tons of pictures, which I love and they truly love their time with him. One got sick and Ronny never missed a beat.”
“Andy was great! She stayed at our house for a week and even cleaned and organized while she was there. Our dogs were very happy and didn’t seem to notice we were even gone. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Kevin is always welcome to watch our four legged babies every time we have him the dogs look so comfortable. They’re not stressed out the he shows me pictures of how they are at home and they love him.”
“Not only is she’s great with my dogs, but was also so helpful when I got in a pinch and my flight was postponed for another day. Great to work with and communicates often! 5 Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
About: I am a responsible, mature, and loving pet-sitter. I understand the concern you feel for your fur baby and will provide consisent care and attention while you are away from home. I have always had dogs and cats of my own and love them as part of the family. I am currently freelance and set my own schedule. When I care for your pet they are my priority, and I will care for them as I would my own pets. I understand the needs of dogs and cats while their owner is away, and I will give them loving care until you return home to them.
“I must absolutely RAVE about Madison because she took such amazing care of our pets with incredible, consistent communication! Extra special shout-out because our dog, unfortunately, got sick while under Madison's care, and Madison kept me informed of our dog's behavior, current status, and cleaned up all of the messes so thoroughly! We love her and I HIGHLY recommend her!!!❤️”
“Amanda took great care of Toby while we were out of town! She stayed in our home with him, and I really appreciated the regular check-ins, photos, and updates. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was comfortable and well cared for while we were away. Amanda was also very considerate and respectful of our home. We’re very grateful for the care and attention she gave Toby!”
“Diana was great with Winston while we were away for five full days. Even during a snowstorm, she still came by to walk him and spend time with him. She’s incredibly reliable and so accommodating to Winston’s needs. We’ll definitely keep her in mind for future walks whenever we’re away—or anytime we need an extra hand. Highly recommend!”
“Reanne was an excellent caregiver for my cat, KK. She really connected with KK, who normally is a very shy, timid cat and doesn’t come out of hiding for just anyone. Reanne came to my home and took wonderful pictures of them playing and kept in touch with me during my travels. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting. I intend to have her back again for both my cat and my dog.”
About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Middletown
Sophie was responsive and attentive in our initial conversation, during the meet and greet, and when completing the job. I was nervous since this was my first time using rover but Sophie made this experience easy. Sophie showed up early to ensure punctuality. She had a laidback demeanor which made it easy for the dogs to trust and like her. Overall great integrity and respectful of the house. We will definitely call Sophie again the next we need a dog-sitter.
Diana did a great job taking care of our two dogs. They are not the easiest to care for one is old and needs medicine twice a day and the other is very people and dog shy. She was very patient with our shy dog and came a couple of times before we left to make sure our dog was more comfortable. Our house looked great and the dogs were happy and well cared for when we returned. She also did a great job with pictures and updates while we were gone.
Alexis is phenomenal! William absolutely enjoyed the company and hanging out with Alexis. Alexis is a fantastic communicator, super easy to work with, and is punctual (which for me is a big thing). We will certainly hire Alexis again and fully recommend.

FAQs for House Sitting - Middletown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Middletown on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 981 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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
