“Kimberly watched our cat over a holiday weekend. She was professional and very easy to work with. We received lots of photos during her visits and she played with our energetic and playful cat. I highly recommend using Kimberly!”
“Jenilie did an incredible job with Mark! Her and her husband went above and beyond to take care of Mark especially when Mark was experiencing an upset stomach! They cleaned him up along with his kennel to ensure Mark had a clean space to rest in until we returned!”
“We needed help last minute and Victoria showed up within 2 hours. She was extremely helpful and communicative. She was really good with our pup. Definitely would hire her again!”
“Wonderful pet-sitting experience! Our dog was well cared for, and the sitter was prompt, reliable, and very responsive. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been a pet mom for 26 years, and animals have been part of my life since I was a kid. I raised Remi from 8 weeks old, so I’ve been through the puppy stage, training, the teenage years and all the fun that comes with raising a dog. My previous dog lived to 10½ before we lost him to cancer, so I’ve also experienced caring for a dog through his senior years, including giving him allergy shots via syringe. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and quirks. I’m especially good with pets who need a little patience and attention to feel comfortable with someone new. I’m happy to follow their normal routines, whether that means a long walk and lots of playtime or a slower pace with an older dog. And yes, I’m perfectly happy to spend part of a visit sitting on the floor giving belly rubs. I also have a soft spot for cats and would love to do drop-in visits for them. I’ve had cats throughout my life, so I understand that with cats, sometimes the best care is knowing when they want attention...and when they would prefer you pretend you don't exist. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and pet sitting at my home is easy to accommodate. I can work around your pet’s routine and am available for walks, drop-ins and sitting. Pets staying with me will have plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. For stays in my home, your dog would need to be comfortable around my dog, Remi. I’m also happy to care for pets in their own home when that’s a better fit. I’m a little obsessed with making sure doors, gates and anything else a pet could get through are properly secured — if I do it at my own house, I’ll do the same at yours. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, medications and any special needs. I’m also careful about leashes, introductions and anything else that helps keep your pet safe and comfortable. And of course, I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know how things are going while you’re away.
About: I was raised with black labs and now have a 4 year old golden retriever. I love to help and make new friends! I am happy to visit, walk, or board to assist in any way I can. I am in nursing school and using lots of walking as a study opportunity. When home, my dog would love company while I study! My program allows for a lot of self discipline with allows me to cultivate a busy but flexible schedule. I live on a large, open field property. It is not fenced in, but I have a long leash lead that can be used. My house has an abundance of dog toys and comfy places to rest!
About: Aside from taking care of my family’s sweet chocolate lab, I have about six years of pet sitting and walking for friends, family and friends of family! I usually watch three sweet rescue pups in Massachusetts- Archie, Gracie and Ollie. I have pet sit for dogs big and small! I also often walk a chunky chocolate lab here in Newport and look forward to walking him every time I part ways with him. Other than pet sitting and walking, I also volunteer at the Potter League for Animals in Middletown, RI where I am usually walking or playing with the rescue dogs or socializing with the cats! I am a psychology student at Salve Regina University where I am currently taking an animal training course where my peers and I go to the Potter League and teach dogs how to sit, stay, lay down, leave it and many other skills! I am passionate about pet care and would love to take care of your fur babies! I am currently a student at Salve Regina University and I have classes Monday-Thursday: 10-10:50 am and 2:30-3:45pm on Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:30-10:45am and 3:45-5:00pm and Wednesday 1:00-3:30 so I am available any time I am not in class! I watch pets in the comfort of their own home! Unfortunately I would not be able to watch pets in my apartment as my roommate is not a fan of pets.
“I highly recommend Ava! She took wonderful care of our dog and kept us updated about how he was doing while we were away. He looked very happy in all of the pictures and he was calm and content upon our arrival back home! Ava is very trustworthy and professional.”
“Emma was super friendly and communicative. We unfortunately had to cancel our rover visit last minute though she made the effort to come over ahead of time to meet our cat and take notes on what she needed. We definitely look forward to utilizing her services in the future!”
About: I’ve pet sat with my moms business since I was about 10, and over 18 years have taken care of many animals. I love to play with the animals, my goal is that when I’m rehired the come to the door to greet me to play with them. I work part time and can do mornings and overnights before and after work. I also get breaks on shifts that I can stop in and visit. I cannot do my own home, but can take care of the animals at their home where they’re more comfortable. Besides just feeding them, walking them or taking them out, it’s important to play with them and keep them entertained. Which always entertains me.
About: Passionate pet sitter with experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and exotic pets. Adept at providing exercise, feeding, and administering medication. Reliable and trustworthy with a commitment to providing the highest level of care for clients’ beloved companions. A loving pet sitter who works from home. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to the needs of your furry companion so they can stick to the schedule that they know best. My goal is to treat your pet exactly like you would to provide you with some peace of mind while you are apart. Before any new booking, I like to get together with you and your best friend to go over the do's and dont’s to make sure your pal has the best experience possible.
About: Mother of two kiddos and one doggy. I just took a break from watching dogs while we welcomed a new pup to our family. He’s a 1 year old Portuguese Water dog and he’s very friendly and loves to play. I’ve had dogs my whole life and love taking care of them. Please reach out with any questions about me. Thank you! Im currently a stay at home mom and have a very flexible schedule. I can work around most time frames and schedules. My days are usually spent at home with my youngest and our pup so another dog or two fit into our schedule perfectly. We have a semi fenced yard in a very quiet neighborhood that is close to a beach. We also have a fully fenced back deck where the dogs can be inside or outside at their leisure. We love to play and we have plenty of time for walks or playing fetch and cuddles.
“Steph is a great cat sitter! Provided full updates for the two-visits per day. Even saw to some extra things above and beyond the call of duty. (Food bowls rinsed and trash taken out). No need to look any further for someone to provide the care and attention to your furry friend(s)!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Middletown
Kyoka recently did a drop in visit with my newly adopted dog. She fed him, walked him and spent some cuddle time with him. I was very happy with her services and my dog loved her! Kyoka was excellent at communicating via text how the dog was doing and also left me a written note. I will definitely be using her again to help with Seamus and highly recommend her.
Kim was WONDERFUL with my dog, and he absolutely loved her! Unfortunately, an unexpected emergency prevented her from completing the final scheduled drop-in visit. As a first-time Rover user, I wasn't entirely familiar with the procedures for situations like this or how the length of a drop-in visit is determined. It would be helpful if Rover provided clearer information about visit duration during the booking process, as well as guidance on how pet owners can be notified if an emergency affects a scheduled visit. I completely understand that unexpected situations arise, and I have compassion for Kim's circumstances. At the same time, being out of state and needing to find alternative care for my dog at the last minute was stressful. Overall, my dog clearly enjoyed Kim's company, and I would happily consider booking her again. In the future, I would like to have a clear communication plan in place in case of an emergency. It might also be helpful for Rover to offer a way for a sitter's designated representative to notify pet owners when the sitter is unable to communicate directly. Thank you, Kim, for the care and attention you gave my dog!
Alison was phenomenal!! Our sweet kitty, Skye, loved her and warmed right up to her! Alison did exactly what we asked and was very reliable. She sent great pictures and stories while we were away. They kept us in touch with our little sweetie! We would book her again in a heartbeat!!😻
Stevie-Rae did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. I felt 100% confident that they were well taken care of. She sent pictures each day to show that they warmed up to her even though they are very, very shy around people they don’t know. I highly recommend her to you.

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 $16 and $33 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 2,067 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
