Anna was on time, showed great communication, and took amazing care of our 3 animals. We wanted to go shopping and have a nice lunch however our kitten just had surgery and needed to be observed closely. Anna kept close eye on him and send photos! Will for sure be using her again.

Margaret is always great to work with. She sends us regular updates while we’re away and takes the time to give our cat some pets, even though he is often very difficult to find. We would definitely recommend her.

Angela was so great. Kaiser was not feeling too great so I scheduled Angela very last minute. She was more than accommodating. She gave me details on his activities. She went above and beyond when it came to providing me with details about her visit. I would absolutely recommend her and would use her again if I needed to. Thank you so much Angela!

My kitty was quite elderly, with some special needs. So when I had a last-minute need for a drop-in visit, I wanted to be extra sure to find someone very reliable, willing to do meds, and very gentle with the kitty. Emily is all that, and more! I would happily call on her again.

Erin was great! Seemed to make fast friends with my (somewhat choosey) cat friend and hung around to keep her company beyond brass tacks on visits. Rover doesn't make it easy to filter for folks with experience with injectable meds or diabetes -- We really hit the jackpot!

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have experience training them with basic commands. Over the years, I’ve cared for four Labs and two rescue dogs, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. After moving to Newport, I’ve really missed being around dogs and would love to treat yours like family while they’re in my care. I especially enjoy long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs feel happy, safe, and loved. I’ll also send plenty of photos and updates so you always feel connected to your pup! I am free to walk any weekday after 3pm and anytime during the weekend. As long as I have a couple days warning, I can fit it into my schedule I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. In a client’s home, I respect their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level to make sure they feel relaxed and cared for. I also keep owners updated with plenty of pictures and messages so they can feel at ease while away. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where pets are treated like family.

About: Prepared for all dogs large and small. I have experience with puppies and seniors, large and small breeds. My entire life I've had dogs; Golden Retrievers, Yorkshire Terriers, multiple mutts, Siberian Huskies. I have a lot of experience with high energy dogs and understand how important consistent, high impact exercise is for maintaining a calm and happy pet! I'm fully prepared to handle whatever your dog needs. I'm currently working from home and am available for pet walking or drop ins most days whenever needed. I am extremely flexible time and can make adjustments to fit your dogs needs. If caring for a dog in their home, it would always just be me and the dog. I follow all house rules, and am very adaptable to both the needs of the dogs, and dog owners. In terms of walks, I spend so much time on my daily walks with my dog, that I am hyperaware of warning signs from other dogs and am able to avoid any potetial confrontations.

Britney was absolutely the best person for my little guy. I am super picky just because he is hyper and can be a lot. Britney went out of her way to make sure he was well taken care of and sent me a lot of pictures which I absolutely loved and needed. 100% reccomend and will be using again in the future. Thank you so much.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Middletown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Middletown on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,085 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Middletown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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 .

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.

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.

To find sitters in Middletown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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
  • 99% 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.

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.
