“Sophie was wonderful with my puppy! She kept great communication throughout the entire time, sent me the cutest photos every day, and took him on nice walks. He looked so happy and comfortable with her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She followed all of my instructions very well, and I would definitely trust her to take care of him again. Highly recommend!”

“Diana was wonderful with our two German shepherds. We went on a day trip and she visited our home twice to let the dogs out and make sure they got exercise. It was a relief to know that the older one got attention and the young (anxious) one didn't miss his dad too much!”

“Second time using Lauren. Love the service, I am able to leave Missy and not be worrying about her. Missy enjoys her time with Lauren. Lauren is so patient and understanding. Lauren understands my need for a leaving routine for my dog with separation anxiety. She has helped Missy deal with my need to leave her all day”

About: Owner of two dogs and have been around animals since the day I was born. Looking to help out families and owners who need extra care when out of town, physically unable, or just need a break! I currently work part time so I have plenty of free time to come play with your pups! If you need me I will be there. My dogs are well behaved and extremely friendly, but they can be a bit wild so it would be best for me to take care of your dogs in your home, but if it is extenuating circumstances I’m sure my pups would love to have a friend come visit!

“Anna is amazing. Our dog is a rescue with reactivity issues. Anna has her own reactive dog and you can tell. She is calm, patient, and understands what our dog is experiencing. She knows when to back off if Luna is getting anxious. I so appreciate her kindness, patience and willingness to work with our dog. You will not find a nicer pet sitter to care for you fur babies.”

About: I have been pet sitting for 7 years since my undergraduate. I have taken care of many pets ranging from puppies, kittens, seniors, and up to three pets at one time. I am the go-to pet sitter for my friends, family, and coworkers because I’m always eager to meet and care for a new friend :) I work full time until 3:30 pm, but I would be eager to start pet sitting immediately after! I am not permitted to have pets in my new apartment, but am still looking to spend time with some friends in my evenings! My priority is making sure your fur baby is comfortable, and I will accommodate and adjust accordingly. I am comfortable crating pets if needed and creating a specialized environment in your home.

About: I’ve owned dogs, cats, and horses my entire life. I’ve been dog sitting for others for 7 years. I’ve owned dogs with behavioral issues from resource guarding to fear reactivity towards other people and animals and medical needs like Degenerative Myelopathy, ACL tears, dental disease, and an enlarged heart requiring specialized attention and care. I am a lead volunteer trainer of new volunteer dog handlers at the Harrisburg Humane Society. When I’m not training new volunteers, I handle dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, behavioral, and medical needs. I’ve taken dogs to off site events for exposure and I’m an adoption counselor helping pair families with the right dog for their home. I have worked with rescue and foster dogs. I will make sure that your dog’s needs are met and will meet them at their level while helping them grow. I will work on patience and consistency, and I will even work on commands with them. I have experience walking multiple dogs at once as well. Your dog’s needs will be met and they will be just as loved and happy until you get home to them! I am currently a high school English teacher and pursuing my Masters in Business Administration and Strategic Leadership while also running volunteer trainings at the Humane Society of Harrisburg weekly. I love working with people and animals while educating both and this allows me the flexibility to do what I love. From the end of August-middle of June I primarily have hours after 4 and through the evening during the week. While I am on breaks throughout the year and during summer, my availability is open during the mornings and daytime as well. I can be flexible on weekends depending on the time and day! I will meet every need you have for your dog or cat. I am reliable, patient, and consistent. I can work on things your pet is struggling with like impulse control, commands, leash walking, etc. I am comfortable crating and separating pets as needed. If your dog has reactivity with new people or other animals - I have an extra soft spot for them as my own pets have struggled with that. I will do slow introductions to make sure your pet is building a relationship with me that is safe and comfortable at their pace. Consistency, patience, and structure is key. I can provide a mix of walks and play time as well as enrichment if the weather is bad. I do not mind the weather changes or daylight changes as their needs come first. Even if your dog wants a quick walk and cuddle time, we will do what they need. I will also communicate with you each time by sending a detailed pet update or report card so you know how they are doing.

About: I've been dog, cat, and baby sitting since I was 12 years old (I'm 25 now). I guess I've always had a nurturing quality about me😄. I've grown up with many pets, (dogs, rabbit, turtle, hamsters, degus, etc...) and love to give them the best care, because they deserve it! Currently I have a 5 year old pup named Muffin. She is the sweetest girl in the world! Currently she's visiting my parents (her grand-pawrents🥹) who she loves sooo much. I miss her DEARLY but I will pour that love into your fur baby instead!❤️ My schedule is open at the moment, and I'm ready to care for your precious pups. I'm flexible with my time, and if you have specific care requests, so feel free to reach out with any questions/requests. I will put the safety of your pup first, in all situations. I don't crate pups, I don't let pups go up to others when on walks, or take them to dog parks (unless desired by owner). I keep the pup leashed at all times outside, unless otherwise stated by the owner. I have had no accidents while pet sitting, and do not intend to. You and your pups safety and happiness are my top priority. If your pup wants pets for an hour, I'll pet them for an hour, if they want to play fetch or other games, I'll do that! I just want to ensure your pup is well loved and cared for.

About: I bring immense experience to watching pups. Trail runs, neighborhood walks, or couch hangs — I can meet them where they are most comfortable. With a part-time work from home schedule, I’ll be giving lots of belly rubs and attention all day long. Im currently working part-time from home with a very flexible schedule — I have lots of time during the day to dedicate towards walks, play, and activities. Our house has a big back yard on a quiet neighborhood street. If you’re lodging with us, my sweet 7 year old pup Barley will be waiting at home to keep your pup company while they’re with us.

Beth is wonderful!! This is our second time having her over and she takes great care of our animals. Our female dog is very shy with strangers and Beth did amazing helping her warm up, and our cat who normally hides from new people completely wanted pets and attention from Beth. She went above what was asked and made sure all our animals were happy and comfortable while we were away. We appreciate her so much!!

We were a last minute booking and Ashley was able to fit us in to take care of our pups. She walked into a bit of a mess and took care of that too. She was very communicative every step of the way. Thank you, Ashley!

Emma was great - she watched our golden retriever while we traveled across the country for four days! She has great communication, Mylo was well taken care of and the house was exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond and brushed him for us! We will definitely use Emma again in the future - she is trustworthy and reliable - your pets will be in great hands!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Middletown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Middletown is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,829 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Middletown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
