“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!”
“Koda took to Jill very fast. Usually she will bark and growl until she knows you’re a friend, but not with Jill. I am a firm believer in dogs judgements of people and Jill passed with flying colors!”

“Victoria was fantastic in taking care of my kitty over the long weekend. She followed all of our procedures for feeding and checking on our cat. She also stayed long to play with the cat and make sure she was doing okay as my cat was feeling a bit under the weather. Victoria sent numerous photos daily and was very communicative. Would absolutely recommend her and will be rebooking if Victoria is good with that!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for awhile now maybe around 8 years and I have my own dog that is 4 years old and he’s really about medium size I am very capable of taking care and managing the time needed to take care of a dog. I will continuously walk the dogs and play with them as well as feed them. I’ve been loved by dogs always and will never try to force myself on them. I will care for your dogs like they are my own and take care of them to my best abilities as long as your willing to let me take care of them. I definitely will stay in contact with the owners and let you know if anything happens.

I provide a comfortable, attentive environment with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship.

“Audrey did an amazing job watching over my cat, Binx. It is always hard to leave her behind, but it was truly such a relief to know my baby was being taken care of. I would use Audrey again for sure!”
“Hanna is great and I will definitely be a repeat client! Our kitties were well taken care of, even though they are both picky and can be catty, Hanna kept them happy! We really appreciate the care and continuous updates and pics/vids of our kitties. I would give more stars if I could! 💕”
“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.”
“Kayla noticed that one of my cats was struggling to finish their food during her visits, which resulted in my other cat trying to eat it. Her response to this dilemma was truly above and beyond: Kayla would hide the leftover food and make a second trip over later in the day (even though only one daily visit was requested) to make sure my cat ate the remaining food and didn't go hungry!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Middletown
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!!
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!
Victoria is excellent! It was the first time I needed to leave my cat at home and I was nervous about finding the right support. Victoria provided me with clarity, daily updates, commitment, friendship and kindness. Sakura (my cat) was in good hands, thanks to Victoria!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Middletown is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 1,840 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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
