“Amber did a drop in visit for our two cats. I liked the fact that she offered to come meet us and our cats prior to the visit. It was very reassuring receiving her message along with several pictures of our kitties. I am sure we will use Amber’s services again.”
“Mary was punctual, communicative, and followed all our directions carefully. One of our cats is still a bit stressed from our recent move, but she was patient and eventually won her over a bit. Our braver cat immediately took to her—she clearly enjoys her company and playtime. We really appreciate the care she provided and look forward to hiring her again next time. Thank you, Mary!”
About: 🐾 About Me Hi there! I’m Shelley — a lifelong dog lover with a soft spot for snuggly, affectionate pups. I’ve had a Shih Tzu of my own, so I understand just how much love, comfort, and attention our furry friends need to feel happy and secure. I don’t focus on long walks — instead, I offer something many dogs truly prefer: a big, fully fenced yard to safely play and explore, and a calm, cozy environment where they can relax, cuddle, and get all the attention they deserve. Whether your dog loves gentle playtime, lap snuggles, or just being near someone who adores them, they’ll feel right at home with me. I treat every guest pup like my own — with patience, care, and plenty of belly rubs. This isn’t just pet sitting — it’s about creating a loving, stress-free space where your dog feels safe, seen, and loved. ❤️ 🗓️ My Schedule I’m home most of the time, so your pup will never be left alone for long. I keep a flexible schedule and can adjust to meet each dog’s needs. ✅ Daytime: I’m available throughout the day for playtime, feeding, and cuddles. Dogs have plenty of supervised outdoor time in my large fenced yard, plus cozy indoor breaks. 🌙 Evenings: Evenings are relaxed and calm — perfect for dogs who like winding down with snuggles or quiet time. 🏡 Weekends: Available most weekends for overnight stays or daytime visits — just reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate! 🏡 When Pets Stay in My Home Your pup will enjoy a relaxed, loving environment with lots of attention and space to play. I have a large, fully fenced yard, perfect for safe outdoor time and fetch. Dogs get plenty of supervised playtime, snuggles, and one-on-one care — no overcrowding. I keep a calm, cozy home — great for small or medium dogs who love comfort and companionship. Fresh water, clean spaces, and lots of affection are always guaranteed. If your dog likes naps, belly rubs, or just being close, they’ll fit right in here. 💡 In short: I treat your dog like family — safe, loved, and completely at ease. --- 🚗 When I Care for Pets in Their Home When I visit your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely — from feeding schedules to favorite toys or nap spots. I give lots of love, pets, and playtime, so your pup feels cared for even while you’re away. I send photo and text updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing. I’m respectful of your home, clean, and reliable — you can always count on me to show up on time.
“Amazing care! Highly recommend Sara! Twice she has looked after my anxious cat, while i was on vacation. Her daily pictures and notes - shows she's very caring and compassionate to her clients pets.”
About: Hi, My name is Kim and I have been taking care of dogs and cats for most of my life. Whether it's my own animals or my friends and families. I have administered medications, bathed, walked, and fed them. I have worked with animals that are on a special diet. My Pug has allergies so I understand the necessity of sticking to diets. My Shih Tzu is on daily medication for seizures so I understand the responsibility and importance of making sure medications is administered consistently and properly. I was a PSW, but I am taking some time off to see if can start a career in animal care. My schedule is open with lots of time to give attention to your animal. I like to treat every animal that comes in my home like they are my own. I own two small dogs and I keep them leashed at all times when I am outside. My yard is partially fenced in and safety is my number one priority for all animals. I would take the dogs on multiple walks a day to keep them exercised. I also have two children aged 12 and 9 who love to play with your animal to keep them happy. I would feed the animals as per the animals usual schedule. If you have any concerns or questions feel free to ask.
“Kim F. took great care of our cat Silver when we were away for a couple of days. She managed all of Silver's medications and was very enthusiastic! We would definitely recommend her.”
About: Hello Dog Moms and Doggy Dads!! My name is Jenni. Working via Rover is an idea born while watching many happy wagging tails on "pack walks" I enjoyed with friends' dogs after 3 years of battling and overcoming a terminal cancer diagnosis. Being around animals is healing. It's an honour for me to look after the pet who looks after you!! I am so excited to do this work! I've taken care of dogs since I was 7. Really, they took care of me ❤️ 🐾 I grew up looking after 2 Shih-Tzus. Then during my UW undergrad, I looked after every size and energy level, from high-energy Australian Cattle Dog to a senior Weiner Dog. Breeds I have looked after include: ACD/Heeler (Tink), Cocker Spaniel (Lady), Golden Retriever/Labrador (Piper, Peri, Chloe), King Sheppard (Django), Pekinese (Lucy), Pit Bull (Carmen), Poodle (Max and Minnie), Poodle mixes (Bailey), Shih Tzu (Misha & Sweetie), various Terriers (Sparky, Ox), Weiner dog (Mindy), Caribbean rescue mutts (Drindl), various varieties of pure-bred Canadian farmdogs (Great dane Tiberious and his everything-breed sister, Billee). 😉 Friends and neighbors have relied on me to look after their pets while away from home for both work and travel, and I can provide references. I can provide: - medical rehabilitation walks - Vet deliveries/pick ups - prescription pick ups and administering meds (by ear, eye, mouth, injection or in food) - dog sitting, walks and pack walks - special needs including diet regimens - special exercise needs - stay-at-my-home doggie daycare, pickups & drop-offs I have been told by family and friends that their dogs come back home relaxed and happy. =) I also have a paw cleaning kit for those muddier walks so your dogs having fun doesnt cause a mess at home. I trim all claws free of charge (to protect my floors and furniture). Finally, I have spent thousands of hours studying dog behaviour and dog psychology through Cesar Milan, and truly believe that there are no bad dogs. 💖 While recovering from cancer, I made the mistake of taking on 2 families of dogs at once and they did not get along. That resulted in a couple of low ratings, deservedly so. I have learned from those mistakes and am happy to offer a subsidized rate while I build my ratings up! Thank you so much for considering my services. Sincerely, Jenni My daily and weekly routine has huuuge flexibility!!! Caring for your pet will gel very well into my daily routine because I dont have much else going on due to medical appointments. My home: ✅️ I'm always home, NOT at a desk ✅️ Carpet-free ✅️ 7 acre backyard including 2 acres of mowed lawn to run around in, surrounded by conservation area forest to sniff, and trails to explore! ✅️ fenced social dog runs I use include Borer's Falls dog park in Dundas and Palermo Park in Ancaster No room for escape! I will always be there to watch over your pet, play with them and take them on walks and as many pee breaks as needed. I can take your dogs to my friend's 7 acre organic vegetable farm in Dundas Valley Conservation Area I volunteer at. 🍎🍏🫑🌽 My vehicle was designed for dogs: a Hyundai hatchback COVERED in dog fur from all the packwalks.😍🐕🦺🦮🐕🐶 I have no pets of my own, but will care for yours as if they were my own. I take great pride in responsible, detail-oriented care. I love sending picture and video updates of your pooch to you as I know if brightens your day and provides owners with peace of mind. A canine photo-shoot is one of my favourite past times! Tell me in advance if you DONT want an inbox full of photo upd@tes! 🥰

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Midland
Sharon was great. I was dog sitting for a couple that was getting married, so I had their two Italian greyhounds as well as my own. I was also invited to the wedding so needed someone with short notice to stop in and make sure they were ok, one is very elderly so was a little worried leaving her in a strange environment. At the greet and meet with Sharon I knew right away the three were comfortable with her. I would definitely use her service again without question. Thanks Sharon!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Midland is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $33 per visit. 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.
There are 369 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Midland. About 86% of Midland sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
