Allison was a wonderful house-sitter in every way! She was patient and skilled with our three pups. She followed all of our care instructions, sent frequent photos and updates, and asked questions as needed. We could tell that our pups quickly were comfortable with Allison, so we were able to enjoy our weekend away. We returned to happy dogs, and our house was as tidy and clean as when we left. We will definitely use Allison again!

Heather was excellent - I would highly recommend her. She stayed overnight with my 15 year old dog and gave him his meds as well. I felt very comfortable with her in the house and Munson, my shitzu, loved her.

Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!

About: I have loved animals ever since I was born. They are my favorite thing in life. I will treat your animal with the most love I can offer. I’m more of a stay-at-home person, so when I am committed to watching your pet, they will be well taken care of while in my care. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space for a dog to play in! I have 2 cats but they are very antisocial and won’t be a problem. I’m also a quick learner and a natural when it comes to pet care!

Marisa went above and beyond caring for our senior pup while we were out of town. He has a lot of anxiety and requires diaper changes in the house, and she handled everything with total professionalism, patience, and kindness. Not once did she make us feel uncomfortable about his needs, she simply took incredible care of him. We came home to a calm, happy dog and a house that looked better than when we left. Knowing our pup was treated with such compassion gave us complete peace of mind. We are so grateful for Marisa and would recommend her without hesitation.

About: I understand that different breeds of dogs need different structures and require different levels of exercise and enrichment. I am very patient and am willing to work with and help train any dogs that may need it. I can work with big or small, high energy or low energy, social or shy! I currently work in the healthcare field and am using this opportunity to branch out into new experiences. I have a relatively open schedule, given that I only work 3 days a week It's important to uphold a clean and safe environment for any animal, so I make sure that there is nothing an animal can get into that they shouldn't. I have 3 lovely cats which receive plenty of love, properly portioned food, and water with dental care add in. Thankfully we have an electric litter box but I am no stranger to cleaning a litter box! I also make sure they're properly groomed and have clean ears, and occasionally they get a good walk when it's nice out! I have owned a dog in the past who received frequent walks, lots of love and play time, properly portioned food, and I paid attentive care to his needs. I also owned two rabbits, who received plenty of hay and enrichment through playtime, a constantly full water bowl, and plenty of space to run around and exercise, as well as proper grooming and nail trimmings frequently For any animal, I know it's important to pay attention and access care plans frequently in order to keep them happy and healthy! So I ensure your furry family member will be properly cared for and I do everything I can to make their lives better

About: I train, take care of, and babysit future service dogs in training. I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have worked with all kinds of breeds, sizes, and types of dogs. I worked at a dog daycare for a semester to improve my knowledge and skills, which included handling and monitoring 15+ dogs at a time, ranging in size and aggression levels, as well as isolating and caring for their individual needs and wants amid the chaos. I love being active and going on long walks, and I love taking the 4 paws dogs on walks while working on the skills they are learning, balancing that with play and relaxation. I'm self-employed and set my own schedule, which makes me flexible and available to others' schedules. Daily walks at parks or in my neighborhood to remain active. As a 4 Paws Sitter and Handler, I encourage bringing dogs into all environments, from stores to libraries, so I usually have a dog by my side throughout daily activities, including studying, shopping, and social events with friends. I'm very adaptable in new environments. I like to keep the pets on their usual routines to avoid creating any stress or new emotions and to keep them as comfortable as possible. No issue with overnight stays if the pet needs more maintenance or attention. I make sure to get a full rundown of any issues to be aware of, as well as maintain skills or rules that the owner has

This was our first time using a pet sitter and Karla did a great job. She answered all our questions. Karla was on time and respectful of our house. She took excellent care of our dog and two cats. Karla walked our dog and played the laser mouse with all the pets. We received cute pictures of our pets also. We would definitely book Karla again in the future and recommend her to other pet owners.

About: I'm an animal lover eager to help take care of your pet with as little disruption or stress to their normal routines and expectations! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and cats particularly for walks, check-ins, and house sitting. I have regularly taken care of friend's and family's pets since 2024, and it brings me great joy. I am self-employed with a primarily travel-based career, combined with some light work-from-home, meaning I can make your pet the primary focus when I'm available for booking. Much of my work is contained to weekends so I can help particularly with weekday care. My primary focus is to be a highlight of your pet's day, or at least maintain their (and your!) usual routines and expectations as best I can. I offer walks, visits, crating, or longer-term pet sitting in your house. Any special requests or routines for your pets are my priority while they are in my care!

Katie was amazing!!! She was recommended to us by a friend, to House sit our puppy while we went on vacation. We were very concerned that leaving our baby in a kennel might change his personality, as he is only 7 months old. Katie laid our fears to rest, she came to meet Hank to make sure that they would get along well. Best friends at first sight. During her stay with Hank she: *Kept up his training *long lease free walks *snacks and meals exactly as we had planned *naps and sleep times unchanged We think Hank is a better dog because of his time with her! Hank is our priority, but it should be mentioned that she took care of our home as well, Like we never left. We can't say enough great things, we got pictures and updates, she was available every time we called to check in. She will be our first call for a sitter for Hank, (a very spoiled Lab) and we highly recommend Katie to all our friends!! Thank You Katie for a great Vacation.

Depending on the needs of the pet and the parents instructions I like to do at least 30 minutes of playtime and enrichment, if no fenced yard depending on age and size of day, 30 minutes of walking around the neighborhood and playtime inside of home or enrichment

Joya was a pleasure to work with. The way she handled our - and our dogs' - needs exceeded our expectations, and she was great with communication. We were dealing with a stressful day, but having Joya to care for our pups meant one less thing to worry about. We will definitely book her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Middletown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in West Middletown on Rover is $28.35 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of June 2026, there are 1,580 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Middletown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Middletown 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 Middletown 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 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!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Middletown. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
