“We absolutely loved her watching cooper at our home! She kept us in the loop about everything going on and cooper loved her. We will continue to use her anytime we go out of town!”
“Elizabeth was great!!! She sent lots of daily pics of the pups and communicated so well. She stayed at my house and treated it like her own. She was extremely clean and could not even tell she stayed. My dogs loved her!”
About: ***I go by “Brian”*** I’ve owned and loved dogs for many years, and always preferred to have someone come care for them in their own home when I’ve had to leave them, rather than subject them to the stresses of boarding. I tend to like dogs more than humans, I’m sorry to say. I know how much I worry about my dogs while I’m away and just want them to be comfortable and cared for compassionately, and that’s how I treat the dogs who are entrusted to me. I’m semi retired so don’t have a lot of restrictions on the days that I am free. For drop ins I’m readily available on a daily basis. Overnights may be a bit more restrictive, but I’m pretty flexible. For drop ins, of course a quick step outside to “do business”, then some food and cuddle time. I won’t be rushed or impatient. Overnights, I’m happy to have your dog on my lap (if they’re allowed on the couch!) and have some play time.
“Nahomy was absolutely wonderful! She kept me up to date on how my dogs were doing and sent lots of pictures! She thankfully called me when a situation arose with one of my dogs misbehaving and she was able to skillfully handle it. I came home to happy dogs and definitely feel secure with her watching them again the next time I am in need of a sitter. I appreciate her so much!!”
“Lainey recently stayed in our home with our dog for over 10 days. She was the perfect pet and home sitter. We would highly recommend her to anyone in the future! She sent us daily pictures and videos and we were always at ease that our little girl was being well taken care of. Our home was left in perfect condition and maybe even cleaner than when we left it! Thank-you Lainey for being such a caring person!”
About: Hello my Name is Brooklyn, I love caring for dogs and puppies, I have my own 11 year old dog and love him very much so I know how much your fur baby means to you. I love going on walks or just giving them any attention they need. I am just getting started doing this again. I did it a few years ago but now I have a lot of time on my hands and have plenty of time to check on your pet/pets and look forward to it. I will follow your instructions when it comes to your pet but if you aren’t very specific then I will go give them attention, lovings, and then let them outside or take them on a walk. Whatever service you booked!
“Macaela did a wonderful job with my furbaby! He has some health issues and she dealt with them and gave him lotsa love. I will definitely be wanting her services again. Thank you Macaela!”
About: I’ve grown up my whole life with little furry friends as well as taking care of neighbors, friends & families dogs! We have 2 at home with us now, a golden doodle and lab! I currently work Monday-Thursday and off Friday-Sunday , i get off early daily and am able to move my schedule around if ever need be! I have a fenced in backyard and two furry friends to keep your dog company! I have an extra large dog crate if needed and keep a clean and tidy home!
“Julie was attentive with our doodles & gave updates on them during her stay at our home & administered meds as directed. Prior to booking, she told us she would be with our dogs all day Saturday & not take any other bookings while dog sitting for us, however she did leave our dogs on Saturday to care for another dog in another town. We were not informed until after the fact.”
About: *If you are outside the 10 mile radius I have set, don't hesitate to message me.* Aside from my experience a veterinarian assistant, I also have many years experience with my own pets and pet sitting. I have had dogs and cats since I was 2 years old and I have been a pet sitter for about 15 years! It’s a pets world, I’m just in it. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is dependent on what’s going on. On a day to day, I take care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats. When needed I walk friend’s dogs and keep them company while their humans are on vacation or working. I have three crate trained dogs at home. They are mostly only in there to eat, sleep(until they’re out of chewing stage), or when we leave. Otherwise they have free range of the house. It is challenging at times having two puppies and one senior dog, but as long as we keep tennis balls, squeak toys, and rope toys around we are good.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Midland is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $60 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.

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 Midland 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 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!
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!
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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
