About: I am also a Registered Nurse and can give your dogs medication if ordered from a Veterinarian and give them lots of tender loving care. Do you have a sick pet and you want to go away? Why not leave them with a Registered Nurse who is also a Pet Sitter. I work part-time, so I will have plenty of time to pamper your dogs or cats. I love animals and look forward to meeting your pet. I can take care of dogs during the day in my home and will take them for walks, and play with them. I can also come to your home and take the dog out for a walk.
“Melinda went above and beyond the call of duty! Managed a reactive border collie (Samwise) with ease and spotted a an eye infection in our cat (Aine) in its early stages and took her to vet to get treatment started! We give Melinda top marks, no doubt you will too!”
About: PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION! With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I provide reliable, attentive care for animals of all kinds—from household pets to less traditional pets and I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs, including feeding routines, medication, exercise, and enrichment, always with a calm and compassionate approach. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a senior pet needing extra patience, or more specialized animal care, I prioritize safety, consistency, and making every animal feel secure and well cared for in my hands. I have a 9 month old female dachshund terrier mix pup who remains In my care full time. You must be okay with her coming along in order to receive my services. She is great with other dogs and cats but meet & greets are required before commencing my services to ensure all pets get along nicely. I work full-time in pet care, not just as a job but as a way to support myself doing something I genuinely love. Caring for animals is what my daily life revolves around—whether I’m looking after clients’ pets or coming home to my own two fur babies who mean everything to me. Balancing professional care with my own pets keeps me grounded and constantly connected to what matters most: making sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I provide the kind of care I’d want for my own animals—attentive, reliable, and genuinely loving. When I’m caring for pets in their home, I go above and beyond to keep everything as consistent and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to their usual routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, because I know how important familiarity is for their comfort. I take the time to really connect with each animal, learning their personality, preferences, and little quirks so they feel safe and understood while you’re away. I keep their environment clean, make sure they’re mentally and physically stimulated, and always prioritize their safety and well-being. You can expect regular updates, clear communication, and the peace of mind that your pets are being treated like family every step of the way.
About: My name is Madeline and I am a professional dog walker! I love caring for and connecting with the animals in my neighbourhood and creating everlasting relationships. I treat your pets as if they were my own. Making sure your pet is healthy and happy is my number one priority! I am available Mondays-Sundays; 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM. I love cuddling with all animals and playing outside. I have a lot of toys (frisbees, balls, etc) that your pup and I can play with while on our walk! I am an extremely honest and energetic person who loves animals, which makes dog sitting and walking a perfect fit for me. I am fully open to doing any other requests during visits you may need, whether it is administering medication or a scheduled meal, I am able to help you out with it all!

About: Work-from-Home Dog Lover by Scenic Trails — Available all day for exercise, potty breaks, belly rubs, extra snuggles, and attentive loving care. I joined Rover because I love dogs. I work from home, which means I can give dogs lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every break is spent walking, playing, or giving belly rubs. I live beside the Collingwood trail network, so I often take dogs on longer, scenic walks through the trails or down by the water. Your pup will enjoy exercise, fresh air, and plenty of companionship. I have beautiful grassy areas around my building and access to safe, scenic trails, which makes walks enjoyable and varied for dogs. Inside, dogs are welcome to make themselves at home — whether that means snuggling on the sofa or lounging on the bed. I treat every dog like family, giving them attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe and loved at all times.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Midland
Ashley is a very responsible, loving, attentive sitter. She looked after our two young cats who can be a handful with such care and shared photos to make us feel at ease while on a two week vacation. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats and house were very well taken care. We were so impressed with her abilities and enthusiasm to manage everything including playing, grooming and staying with Merlin and Purrlman. The trauma of our first long trip away was easier on them snd us with her looking after them and for that we were so happy, grateful and honestly lucky to have had her. I would HIGHLY recommend Ashley for the care of your cats and house in a heartbeat! A true 10 out of 10 pet and house sitter star!!!!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Midland 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!
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.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 Midland walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Midland 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
