About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all ages and sizes—from playful puppies to seniors needing extra care. I’ve also rescued a few dogs over the years. My family has both a 100-pound Bluetick Hound and a 10-pound Yorkie, so I’m comfortable with dogs big and small. As a student living away from home, I miss being around them and would love the chance to share that same love and care with your furry friend. Dog walking services: Monday–Thursday: Dog walking between 12:00–1:00 pm or 3:00–8:00 pm Friday–Sunday: I can offer dog walking services anytime. House sitting: Available weekdays and weekends. Flexible. While I can’t host pets in my apartment, I’m happy to provide house sitting and dog walking services. I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, whether that means sticking to their usual routine, offering extra playtime, or ensuring they feel calm and cared for while you’re away. If your pet has any specific needs or requests, please let me know in advance—I’m flexible and happy to accommodate. I also have experience administering medications, so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I am a true animal lover. I would watch bunnies, birds, horses, lizards too. Cheetahs if I could haha. A fur baby is a family member and family is massively important. Rest assured; no matter the age, health or species, caregiving is what I'm made for...your fur baby is no different to me. Walks, play time, vet runs, cuddles, snackies and etc. Is always available with aunty Cheryl around 😊 Call me ahead of time and we'll work a schedule that will fit us both. I'm available most holidays too. Can't wait to meet you guys. I care for pets with patience, love , kindness, and attention to their individual needs. Communication and commitment is what makes the optimal safe environment. I follow pet mom/dad's instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and routines. Making sure pets have fresh water, a clean and safe environment, and plenty of attention and companionship. I understand and value that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel secure while their mom or dad is away.

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!!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Midland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Midland is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $65 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.

As of October 2026, there are 199 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Midland. About 85% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 92% 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.
