“Evan is a ROCKSTAR! ⭐️ 100/10 stars! Dobby usually barks when meeting new people, but he took to Evan immediately—which says a lot! Evan was incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and attentive, and he did an amazing job taking care of Dobby and communicating with us throughout the entire stay. We felt completely comfortable knowing Dobby was in such great hands. We will ABSOLUTELY ask for Evan as our first choice every time in the future. Couldn’t recommend him more!”
“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!”
“Jaden went above and beyond to care for our 2 dogs and cat for an entire week! We all felt comfortable and safe from the first meeting and throughout the week. Excellent communication and much appreciated help!”
“Adam was an excellent dog sitter. Communication was great and he did a good job with our dogs. This is a bigger than usual deal for us. One of our dogs was a rescue who came from a bad situation and has some residual special considerations and weird quirks. We very much appreciated Adam's stellar care and attention to detail.”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Anna for any of your pet care needs. She recently completed an 2day overnight, to take care of my two (senior) English Bulldogs, who have quite the personality! She treated them like princesses, ensuring they didn’t break their routine. She was a great communicator to me - providing updates, asking questions and sharing many pics! The girls and her even did a photo shoot! Anna is kind, extremely thoughtful and detail-oriented and she was a fantastic steward of the house, as well leaving a small bouquet of wild flowers to welcome me home. The girls and I can wait to see her again.”
“Tori took amazing care of our kitten and went above and beyond in every way! It was our first time leaving him alone, and she made us feel so comfortable leaving him. She went out of her way to send us lots of pictures and updates! She was amazing with our kitten and had great communication. We will definitely be asking her to come back.”
“Cassidy was a pleasure to work with. She stayed in touch and kept us updated. It worked out great to be able to schedule an evening out while we were visiting Hershey, PA. Our girl, Shadow warmed up to Cassidy and the pics she sent were adorable. She was on time and took great care of our pup.”
“We Met Brianna on July 19th to Pet sit Buddy for the 1st time, Buddy took to Her Immediately and just loved Her and whatever Fears We had of Leaving Him for the 1st time were completely erased, She is totally on Her game, loves dog’s and is very professional. Her communication skills are on point and was in constant contact with us before and after Our booking, We are def gonna have Brianna pet sit for us on an ongoing and as needed basis moving forward”
“Zandra took great care of our two pups while we were out of town for a few days. Communication was excellent, and she helped further, without us asking, when our friend didn’t arrive on time to get the pups.”
“We had a great first experience with Zach! He stayed at our home with our two older, somewhat needy girls, and they were immediately comfortable and at ease with him. It’s obvious he’s very experienced and comfortable with dogs. He was timely, did a meet and greet beforehand, and sent us plenty of photos, videos, and updates throughout our time away, which we really appreciated. He was also very respectful of our home and left everything exactly as we had left it. Most importantly, the girls were happy and well cared for when we got home. Zach is genuinely nice, reliable, and someone we felt comfortable trusting with both our dogs and our home. We’ll absolutely use him again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. I grew up with dogs and have experience with all ages, breeds, and sizes! I have a gentle and kind demeanor to not stress shy dogs, and am willing to work to gain their trust! All dogs have unique needs that I can meet, and I can assure you that your dogs’ needs will come first and you can trust that they will be safe in my care! I am currently a student on summer break from college, and am available for pet sitting and walking all days of the week at any time! I have 3 cats and 2 dogs that I feed, walk, and love on daily. I am not able to board but can assure you that I will take care of your pet just as I would my own!
“Yianna was extremely professional and wonderful to my dog. She was very loving to my pup, who requires multiple medications. She was great with check- ins and very responsive to questions. She was respectful of our home. I would highly recommend her to anyone and would use her in the future.”
“Hanna was a perfect match for my kitty Princess while I was away from home. I could tell she was making a special attempt to connect with Princess by the multiple update pictures showing her doing her favorite things and giving in to her peculiar whims. I recommend her 100% for anyone looking for the extra TLC in looking after their fur kids while they're away.”
“Kevin is a super nice guy. I am so glad we have him in our dogs lives and ours. I will take him anytime. He did a great job with our pups. They seem very happy.”

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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
