“I went out of town labor day weekend leaving my two dog s at home instead of putting them in lodging. This is the first time I had Stephanie stay at my house with my dogs. Everything went very well. They were treated well and had multiple outings to the dog park without incident and the house was clean when I returned. I will definitely hire Stephanie again to care for my dogs.”
“Lisa watched our two dogs while we were overseas for two weeks on vacation and we highly recommend her! She sent plenty of pictures, kept us updated throughout the stay, left the house clean and most importantly took good care of our dogs! We will definitely be booking Lisa for stays in the future.”
“Jessica was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us while we were away! It was our first time using Rover and we were incredibly pleased with our experience. Jessica was very friendly and sweet with our very nervous dog when we did our meet and greet prior to our trip. Throughout our time away she updated us with pictures and progress on how Nala was doing. Clearly she is wonderful with animals because our nervous pup seemed to be comfortable with her in no time at all. We would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter/house sitter while they are away, and will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Brooklyn was a delight from the moment we met. She was very thorough at our meet and greet with her own questionnaire. Updates throughout her stay were perfect.”
“My family is so grateful to have found Paula! She is absolutely wonderful with our two large dogs and really put our minds at ease while traveling. She went above and beyond to make sure our pups got what they needed while we were gone and kept us updated throughout. We have one dog that typically doesn't eat when we leave, but Paula patiently sat with her and got her to eat her meals. Plus, she clearly loves dogs, especially our itty bitty pitty, and gives them so much love and attention! We will definitely hire Paula to pet sit or drop-in in the future!”
“Caroline was a wonderful sitter! She took great care of our dog and went above and beyond to accommodate unexpected situations. We felt extremely comfortable having her and are grateful for the many ways she helped us when we were traveling. We highly recommend her!”
“Victoria is amazing! We were struggling with leaving our fur babies for a week, but Victoria put our mind at ease. She took such good care of our babies and home. When she stopped by to drop off the key all of our dogs (3 of them) were excited to see her again. To top it off, she is just a genuinely amazing person that is kind and trustworthy. We will absolutely be using her in the future.”
“Andrea was our first dog sitter we've ever had! not only our first but tha best! me, wife and a daughter left for a church camp trip for tha weeknd and she took so much care of my two dogs Marina and Sheriff. everyday she was giving keeping me updated on tha dogs, morning, afternoon and evening. we trusted her in our home while we were away for tha weeknd. she went above and beyond. she followed everything i explained about our dogs to tha tee. she cleaned up after herself, kept our dogs safe and above all, she kept them alive🙏 i would 100% have her back again. i HIGHLY recommend her to anyone! she's trustworthy, honest and huge blessing🙏 thank you Andrea for everything and blessing to you and your family. we will see you soon for more bookings🙏”
“Lillian was absolutely great with my dogs! She was extremely reliable and gave lots of updates with pictures included. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their animals!”
About: I have had pets my whole life and I have about a decade of experience taking care of a range pets cats, dogs, kittens, puppies, big dogs, and small dogs I am currently unemployed and doing school online and I do not have any extracurriculars that I will need to focus on so I have lots of free time I will treat your pets and home with care and respect and will make sure I will keep in mind any additional details you provide me with
“Hannah is great! We love her! She stayed with my pup during the snow storm with NO power in the house. She cuddled with my girl and kept them both warm through the night with no complaints! She is a real trooper🩵”
“Callen took great care of our two boys and our house while we went out of town! We were nervous because we had never left them with someone we weren’t familiar with before, but they loved her immediately and had so much fun with her. She was very responsive and sent daily check ins and pictures. She could easily handle all of their little quirks. Definitely will be booking with her again!”
“Just to be clear, Joelle is fabulous. We had a long trip abroad to visit family and were worried about finding someone we could trust with our pup and our home while we were so far away. Enter Joelle. She is communicative, kind, professional, thorough, experienced, and handled everything that came her way (our pup having a seizure, our smoke alarm system going haywire, a massive snow storm, etc) in stride. We could trust that everything was in good hands. And the bottom line is that she genuinely loves hanging with our pup (and the feeing seems mutual), which at the end of the day is what matters the most. We highly recommend her.”
“Gisella was an outstanding pet sitter. She went above and beyond to care for my 11 years old golden retriever, Samhara. The two bonded instantly. She played with Sam, walked her, fed her and when time came for Gisella to leave, Sam was glued to her; wouldn’t want her to go. I can’t describe the feeling of knowing that your dog is happy and safe while you travel. I highly recommend Gisella!”
“Short version: Ruby speaks pet! Long version: Ruby was a pet whisperer the moment she met my dog; he totally loved on her (he's not picky but he definitely has his favorites). During the meet & greet I could tell she understood how important sticking to a schedule was, which meant a lot. But going back really quick, what meant the most to me was her empathy (we both want the best for our pets), and this is what made Ruby a trusted sitter. Thank you Ruby, so very much!!”
“Nayeli did a great job watching my dog! She followed all my instructions and gave me lots of updates throughout the weekend. I returned to a happy dog and a well taken care of home. I would recommend Nayeli and book her again!”
“Jazmine did a great job watching over my pets, she communicated daily activities and anything additional that had come up. I received daily photos of my boys and could tell they were well cared for when I got back. Will definitely be a repeating customer”
“Ukaesia did a great job taking care of our senior cat. He has medicine to take everyday and she provided it daily with no issues. I received a photo each time she was at the house and she followed everything I needed her to do with our litter box. I highly recommend her as she is super to work with, communicated clearly and provided excellent care.”

When our other sitter canceled last minute, we were left scrambling for a new one. Christian did not disappoint! He is punctual, clarifies expectations early, communicates effectively, our two dogs loved him, and he left the house nice and clean for us! Would definitely recommend him, and hope to use him again soon!
Stephanie was fantastic. She showed up right on time, was professional from start to finish, and kept me in the loop the entire stay. I got regular photos and updates, which made it easy to relax while we were away. Tucker & Max were well cared for and I have already booked her again - over Christmas! Highly recommend!
The best! I had an extremely busy trip for my sisters wedding and I didn’t have to worry about my pets or my house at all. Pictures every morning and evening with a little update. I came home and my cats were very clearly not stressed, just happy to see me. The house was lovely when I walked in. Highest recommendations! Truly a great job done!
Brooke was the first dog sitter I’ve gotten for my dogs and she was wonderful. We had a great meet and greet before I booked and I had no worries leaving my babies in her hands. She asked me all of the questions about my dogs which told me she really cared to take care of them. She was prompt with responses and gave me great updates. I’ll be booking her again for any out of town trips in the future!
Bre was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last minute request and was reliable and a quick communicator. She stayed at our house and was respectful of the home as well. I highly recommend using her and will definitely use her for future trips! Thank you for taking great care of Booger, Maya, and Mariner.
We had not booked Haley for a couple of years due to not traveling as much. Mango never forgot her and was so excited to see her. Mango also needed some extra care this time and Haley provided it. She did great with the kittens too. We are so lucky we found her and it we can leave our pets and home in her care without a worry. Thank you Haley!
We had a great experience with Jeri over the 5 days she cared for our dogs. She was friendly and reliable, and communicated well throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Overall, we felt our dogs were in good hands and would happily recommend her to others.
Do you need excellent pet care but wish for someone who will truly bond with your pet? Do you want portrait quality photos delivered to you on the regular? How about someone with a lot of pet experience and vet tech history? Forrest can do all that for you and more. They are clearly very bright and pay good attention to detail. My five pets needed extra care and assistance and their owner (me) needed a lot of reassurance. We each got what we needed and more. Additionally, my house was in such good condition when I came back from my trip you couldn’t even tell someone had been there except for the five happy, healthy fur faces ready to greet me when I came home. This happy pet owner will be rebooking with Forest if we ever need to leave town again.
Katherine was super communicative with me and made sure my cat got a lot of attention while I was away on vacation. She was always at the house when I expected her to be, and gave my fur baby a ton of cuddles. She even chaperoned him on walks outside, which helped him keep his routine and be a little less neurotic while we were gone. Thank you, Katherine!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Midland is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $83 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 6,672 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Midland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
