About: Hi! My name is Sarah and I have a daughter, step-daughter, husband, and 3 crazy dogs that are my world. I have grown up always having at least one dog in my household (along with cats & chickens too!) I am a local ER/School Nurse ( I work per diem-so random days/times) with 16 years experience, but mainly stay home to take care of my 18 month old daughter. I am a caring, compassionate, and trustworthy person especially when it comes to taking care of a part someone's family. I know how important it is to me to have someone truly care about my dogs when I'm away, so it's important to me for others to feel the same! I usually charge $25-dog a visit but may vary depending on the sitter situation. If you are interested please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your time and consideration. Look forward to hearing from you! I currently work per diem (I pickup random shifts/hours/days) as a nurse, so my schedule is very flexible. My other job is a Mommy to my 18 month old daughter, step-daughter, and fur-momma to my 3 dogs. I can take your fur-baby out on or off a leash, wherever you're comfortable, and go for walks or trips to dog parks- wherever you'd like!
“Shannon was easy to work with and took great care of our Ted while we were away. As our buddy is getting older, he needs meds at specific times of the day; we appreciate her punctuality. We can’t thank her enough.”
About: I don't have any fancy certifications, just a true love for animals. I genuinely enjoy hanging out with pets and making sure they feel happy. I work full-time but I am available most days before 7:30 AM and after 4:30 PM, except for W & F. Let's coordinate a schedule that works! I'll visit your home everyday to feed your pets, refresh their water, take them for walks, and spend quality time playing and keeping them company.
“Charlie was a fantastic pet sitter. My 3 cats are challenging, needing to all be fed separately and kept separate while I’m away! I’m sure it was difficult to juggle feeding each one, separately, changing water dishes, scooping 2 boxes at opposite ends of the house, making sure no one escaped from their partitioned areas, all in a half hour - and finding time for a little love or play. Charlie reported any uncertainties that arose, and sent me pictures at the end of each visit which was very much appreciated! I felt at ease knowing my little rapscallions were in her hands. Her rates are reasonable and fair, and I would heartily recommend her!”
About: I grew up with dogs since birth, I have my own 6yo dog & I have cared for many dogs as a professional pet are specialist and walker at my recent job in NYC. I am privately insured through the company Pet Care Insurance. Besides constantly caring for my own pet, I never get tired of spending time with animals. I look forward to even more pets and love in the future! Your pet is your baby. I know mine is my baby. I take pet care as seriously as babysitting. I have full respect for your space as I hope anyone caring for my pet has in my home. Like the boy scouts say, leave no trace!
About: I've had the honor of taking care of many dogs over the years, most recently our Jack Russel who lived to nearly 19 years old. Plenty of energy to run around with spry pups, but also the patience to care for your older pals. Happy to be a cuddle buddy, ball thrower, trail explorer, or chef for picky eaters. I work from home and can flex my schedule as needed. Drop-in visit availability throughout the day, with walking availability in the mornings and evenings. I will take careful note of your care instructions and make sure your pup feels comfortable and loved. Please reach out with any questions or requests for special accommodations.
“Kaitlynn is a joy. She came in 4 times over the weekend to look in on our Kitty. She sends pictures and puts any worry you may have on the back burner. Prompt and always keeps you updates. We have used Kaitlynn several times to stay over too and she does a wonderful job. Highly Recommend Kaitlynn.”
About: I have grown up around dogs and have had 3 dogs. I am frequently asked to pet-sit and walk dogs by friends and neighbors. I have started taking clients in the past year, where I have no problem staying at their home to care for their pets! I have a part time job and I have flexible hours. My main priority is to be there for all of you and your pets needs! I have lots of experience with all types and behaviors of dogs. I also have two very friendly and social puppies who are great with people
“Isabel is so sweet! She helped me last minute and also accommodated a virtual meet and greet for me. I had a repair man in my apartment while I was away and she voluntarily stayed to keep an eye on things and give my cat more loving. Thank you Isabel!!”
“Jaylynn was professional, always on time, and my dogs absolutely loved her! This was the first time I ever used this site and was very apprehensive. All my worries went away! She was attentive with the needs of my dogs and I loved her daily reports! I definitely recommend her and will be asking for her again!”
“Madeleine was fantastic with my dog and three cats. I was worried about leaving them and her twice daily updates reassured me and her pictures made me smile. She seemed to generally like my pets and I appreciated that. I will be booking Madeleine again”
About: Hi! My name is Lily and I am a senior Providence College. I am from Portsmouth, Rhode Island and have grown up with a husky german shepard mix as well as a black lab terrier mix. They have been my best friends and I am passionate about animal care as I spent time following my dad around while he worked on a local farm! I love caring for dogs especially and would be more than happy to walk your animals! My dog Bella is currently 13 so I know the ins and outs of a senior dog, while having puppy experience because we got her at just seven weeks old! I’m available to walk or care for animals in between my classes, on my free days, as well as during the weekends at any point! I can easily follow instructions when it comes to dog sitting and have been responsible for caring for neighbors dogs for long periods of time around the clock! I’d love to care for your animal!
“Maddy was amazing with our dog Murphy! We needed a last minute dog sitter and she was quick to respond and able to help us. Murphy was tired and happy when we got home! We will definitely be rebooking with Maddy again!”

“Samantha was Absolutely amazing to work with!!! Took great care of our two dogs while we were away! Great communication the entire time and took the time with each dog. Will definitely be working with again! Thank you Samantha!!”
“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.”
“I was looking for some help with a very elderly kitty ~ so he really needs someone who can be very gentle with him, and at the same time very competent. Jessi is absolutely both. I would definitely call her again! Also, I had to search at the very last moment, which turned out to be no problem!”

Once again, Madison and Joseph were awesome! They have taken care of my very sweet but very energetic 7 year old German Shepard multiple times and every time, I come home to a happy dog. They play ball with her, make sure she gets fed when needed and always has water. They will send you pictures of every visit and they even brought in a package for me. Thanks again!

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.

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.
