“Ashley was incredible! Our boys can be a handful but she did a fantastic with them. She made sure they got all their medications and were well fed and walked while we were away. She took care of our boys as if they were her own. I would highly recommend”
“We recently had Mary look after our elderly pup Ricky, and I can’t recommend her enough! Our dog is quirky, senior, and needs a bit of extra patience and understanding — and Mary handled everything with such kindness and care. My husband and I moved to Midland last year and didn’t know anyone in the area who could look after Ricky, so finding Mary has been such a relief. She gave us total peace of mind while we were away, and we came home to a happy, calm dog and a tidy house. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and thoughtful for house sitting or dog walking, don’t hesitate to book Mary. We’re so glad we found her! 🐾”
About: I’m a friendly and active person, would love a walking buddy. I have had dogs my whole life, from Puppies to seniors with all the fun and mess between. I work from home and have the ability to get out in the mornings, on lunch and after work. I’m fairly flexible in my availability. I have 2 cats who are very spoiled little ladies. I am no stranger to new dogs with a history in assistance of foster dogs.
“Kim was very easy to connect with and we were able to set up a meet and greet right away. We took our dog Ronnie for a walk ahead of time so that they could get to know each other. Kim took great care of Ronnie while we were away and sent us pictures to keep us updated. Ronnie enjoyed her time with Kim especially the butt scratches/massages!!”
About: I have loved taking care of animals since I can remember. My family has always had animals in the house as well. I have pet sat for many different families over the past 7-10 years. I work from home through the week so I would be home with your fur babies full time. We loving spending time in the backyard, going for walks, and plenty of pets inside. I have a fenced in yard for complete safety for your dog. I also have a dog that gets taken for walks everyday so your dog will get lots of walks while in my care.
About: I have lived with dogs my whole life, both large and small breeds. I currently have three small dogs and would love to get to know your pups! I’m currently working part-time and have flexibility in the hours that I work. I am available for dog sitting and dog walking most days. I am happy to chat about a schedule that works for you! I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs in my home. I am able to separate dogs if necessary! I would ensure dogs are on leashes when outside of the yard. We are also close to the beach!
“Thank you Ethan, from the first time I reached out, you replied back within 15 minutes and right away assured me that you were able to take care of Rosie. We met prior to the date and you were professional, caring and right away made Rosie feel comfortable. You sent me pictures and updates on her stay with you and were very attentive to replying to me if I checked in. Thank you again Ethan and Rosie will be back for sure!”
“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: **About me** I have been working with pets, and dogs specifically at dog daycares, boarding facilities and grooming salons for 12 years now. I have a very well behaved Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, and a cat so I am very comfortable around cats and dogs of all breeds. I also am certified in grooming and have an animal care background. **About my home/services** At this time I can only bring one dog at a time (unless they are from the same family) to my home and dogs must get along with other dogs. I will still gladly travel to a client's home for pet sitting, let outs, and any other care if that works best. I can offer simple grooming as I may not be able to carry all my equipment around but brush outs and nail trims can be done. Brush outs $15/30 mins of brushing and nail trims $12 **About my neighborhood** My neighbourhood is quiet and residential. There are a few parks in close walking distance but I am willing to walk and explore areas that are familiar to the dogs in my care. **What to expect** I can offer all the cuddles a dog or cat needs! I will take the dogs on walks for whichever duration the client prefers. There will be playtime in a secured space, whether inside or in a fenced in yard or play area. I will make sure your dog is happy and nice and tired by the end of our time together. **Special rules or requests** I currently do not have a vehicle so I cannot pick up/drop off but am willing to commute to wherever I need to. I do not have specific preferences for size or breeds of dogs but please let me know of any behavioural or other limitations or needs so I can provide the best care possible. I currently have some spare time and would love to spend it with your pups! Walks on a familiar route or adventures doing something new, your pup will receive the exercise and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy I have a partially fenced backyard but dogs would not be outside unsupervised. I can also provide crated breaks if required. Anything to keep your dogs routine as close to normal as possible!
“So glad to have Natasha look after my little senior gal - such a relief knowing she was there with her. Natasha was punctual, had good communication, and gave food and medication with no concerns! Very happy!”
“Kim watched our dog & cat for us while we were away for a weekend. We were nervous to leave them with a stranger because this would be the first time. After meeting Kim, I felt comfortable trusting her with our pets while we were away. I asked Kim last minute if she would also be alright with watching my parents dog for the weekend as well and she quickly accepted. She sent us lots of pictures & updates while we were away (which I loved!). I would definitely recommend Kim's services to anyone looking for a sitter and will be using her services myself again in the future. Thanks for making our weekend away stress-free and taking such wonderful care of our girls!”
“I would feel comfortable leaving my dogs with her again. I got updates and lots of pictures. The pups seemed happy and in good health when I came home and the house was just as clean as we left it. 10/10”
“Michelle was great with our 2 dogs. She gave them lots of attention and care and was very diligent in following routines and care instructions. I would certainly have her come back again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Midland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Midland on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 219 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Midland. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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!
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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
