“Tucker did a great job watching Zoe & Mocha - regularly sent photos, provided updates from each visit, and was very communicative in providing care.”
“Jacki was polite, professional, and gave our pets all the love and attention they needed! She sent frequent pics and detailed messages. Highly recommend her services :)”
“Maureen did an amazing job house-sitting our dog and two bunnies. She asked great questions and was very detailed oriented when understanding the care guide. Highly recommend!!”
“Mandi is great! My little Olive loved her. My very young dog (needs a lot of pottie training still), really, she's a lot of work... And Mandi was great and sent a ton of really great pictures which showed them hanging out and settled in as a very nice match. Mandi very much loves dogs and that showed through her care and thoughtfulness with Olive.”
“Meta did a fantastic job dog sitting our large dog for over a week while we were away. She handled all of our dog’s medication, feeding, and walking, and took her into daycare on the days where she needed a little more exercise. She shared daily updates, was super responsive, and when we needed to make a last-minute change during our trip, she was supportive, and did what she could to make things as easy as possible when we returned. She took excellent care of our dog and our house and we’d love to work with her in the future!”
“Excellent, kind, considerate dog sitter. Briana sent us pictures daily of our dog, she walked him extensively and also helped to work on some training with him. Briana knew how to handle our dog who has some reactivity and anxiety. She was respectful of our home, prompt and great with communication and care !”
“Magan watched our pup Indie at our house while we were out of state for a few nights. She was amazing, posted lots of updates to her instagram for us to see, and Indie definitely loved her! He had plenty of playtime while we were gone ?.”
“This is the second time I’ve had Teagan watch my two golden retrievers for a few days/nights in my home. She takes great care of them (follows my overly detailed notes), provides updates, and always leaves my home just as it was when she got there. Would rebook and would recommend!”
“Nia and Lauren did a great job house sitting and taking care of our big, young dog Fred for a week over the holidays. We were happy to find sitters who were confident handling our big dogs. They sent pictures, gave him special Christmas treats that his human kids and left the house cleaner than when they arrived.”
“Monica stayed with our dog overnight in our home and did a fantastic job caring for our pup. She was very communicative and followed all of our precise care instructions. She showed genuine interest in our dog and we felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care. We would be absolutely delighted to have Monica in our home again to play and care for our dog. She is reliable, responsible and kind.”
About: *LGBTQ+/BIPOC friendly* I have grown up with dogs all of my life up until last year after losing my pup of over 10 years. I’m ready to take care of other dogs like my own! I am also open to senior care. My experience with animals also include about 2 years of volunteer service at a local animal shelter. I am reliable and responsible with a somewhat flexible schedule during the week! My husband who is a licensed vet tech also can join on walks or visits too if that's okay with you. I work from home during the week, and I can sometimes flex my schedule to accommodate your needs. I am also open to weekends with notice. Typically, my day starts at 7am and I am open to house visits through 10pm. I care for pets in my clients’ homes as if they were my own. I am extremely respectful of space because I would expect the same from a pet sitter. If you need other things attended to while you're away (mail, garbage, etc.) I'm happy to do that for you as well! I am a former teacher, so you can trust me to be reliable and respectful of your space.
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. Growing up my parents always had dogs and cats. My best-friend growing up was my dog Samantha who just turned 15 is a sweet Belgian Mali. I work at Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation as a cook for the the Early Education Center. I work from 7am-1pm and then I am home with my dog Lyla and I enjoy going out and taking her out on walks/hikes to Fort Harrison and to the nearby parks in Lawrence. I have a fenced in backyard that dogs can run around in any time they would like too. I live on a quiet street just outside of 465.
About: My name is Jiayi H, go by Joyce. I live in a 2 story house (basement and first floor are dog-friendly) and our house surrounded by park and trails so it will be a lot of running around and playing time if your dogs stay here with me. I have a lovable, friendly 5-year-old Australian Labradoodle, Luca, that I spoil silly as I will with you pup as well. I have puppy training experience, raised Luca from 8 week, and took care of 13 yrs old dog for 3 months. My schedule is flexible so I can usually take on new dogs at a moment’s notice. I love taking pictures and videos of them so you will feel updated and can enjoy your time away knowing that you will have no worries. I’m working from home so most of my time will be caring your pup and Luca. Daycare drop off at 7:00-8:30 am and pickup hours are between 5-6 pm. Any time after 6 pm please let me know as soon as possible, and I can offer boarding or extended hours as well. I have unfenced yard, one dog crate, and playpen for puppies. For daycare and boarding, I will walk your dog 2 times a day, including 20-min walks in the morning and after dinner; will also do 2 potty breaks at noon and bed time.
“Matthew was great! He walked and cared for our Samoyed 10 month old and provided updates and pics. We definitely will contact him again. The house was in great shape on our return, too.”
About: With over 15 years of dog experience and a genuine love for animals, I provide compassionate and reliable care for your furry friends. As a proud owner of a adorable 5-year-old Goldendoodle, I understand the importance of trust and dedication when it comes to caring for your pet. Let's give your dog the loving attention they deserve! My work schedule is from 2 PM to 11 PM, but I have a two-hour dinner break in the evening, giving me plenty of time to take your dog out, play, and ensure they get the care and attention they need. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my priority! I care for pets in the comfort of your home, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you're away. I'll give your pet personalized attention, follow their routine, and care for their needs as if they were my own, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.
“Karina always shows such care for my pets. My dog and cat both have health issues that require multiple medicines and supplements. She always follows their routine closely, asks questions to make sure she’s providing good care, takes my dog on daily walks, and sends daily pictures. I also come home to a clean house. I will not hesitate to request pet/house sitting from Karina again and I highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Middleton
We've been having Annalesse watch our 15 yr old beagle for the last two major trips we've taken, and we've never been more at ease. It's been a journey to find a reliable, caring, and clean, communicative sitter and she's been an absolute blessing to work with. The house is always spotless and doesn't even look like anything has been touched when we return. We get updates and pictures without having to ask and she willingly cleans up any mess our pup makes which unfortunately happens more often with her old age. On our last trip we weren't returning until late and we were so impressed that made efforts to adjust her schedule just so that our girl wouldn't have to be alone longer than she needed to be. Consider yourself lucky if you have Annalesse watching your furry loved ones❤️
Mandi was great with our dog. She was punctual and friendly. Our pup loved her (loves everyone though haha). She kept us updated throughout the evening while we were gone with pictures and messages. She comforted our pup when people were letting off fireworks unexpectedly. Would hire again!
Poorna did an incredible job overnight sitting for our two dogs, Chopper and Ophelia, while we were away on vacation. She provided lots of updates and many great pics of them while we were away unprompted, and was an amazing guest in our house as well. We would recommend her to anyone and will be booking with her in the future.
Azaria did a great job house sitting with Ollie. This was my first experience with Rover, and it was nice to meet Azaria before we left on our trip. She sent daily pictures and updates. The house was very tidy when we returned. Will definitely choose her again.
It is safe to say that our kitties gave Jennifer a run for her money- one who hates strangers, the other who makes a break for the door when sitters try to leave! She handled all of it with grace and kindness. We were sent daily pictures and always felt our pets were in great hands.
Evelin was an absolute rockstar. She sat for our two older dogs and a rambunctious young one. We joked that the dogs are going to have unrealistic expectations of us now because Evelin was SO attentive with them. She sent constant pictures, and they were clearly loving the attention and love. She clarified any questions she had, and we felt totally confident that the dogs were in great hands—she followed up that she was following our instructions for feeding and meds. We would hire Evelin again immediately, and I’d recommend her to any pet parents, even if your dogs have some extra needs. If we go on a trip again, she’s our first call!
Meta took great care of our 2 pugs. I felt totally comfortable leaving for 5 days and her caring for the dogs. We came home and the house was very clean. She even made us a delicious quiche. I am not saying everyone should expect a quiche, but that was very thoughtful! would deinately use Meta in the future. I highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in West Middleton is $34 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $90 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred West Middleton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in West Middleton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 West Middleton 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
