About: Hi! I’m Kandace, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re my own. As a lifelong dog lover and pet owner, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and experienced managing routines, medications, feeding schedules, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to get to know what makes them happiest and most comfortable. Outside of pet care, I work full-time in hospitality, where providing exceptional service and earning people’s trust are at the heart of what I do. You can expect excellent communication, punctuality, and photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full-time in hospitality, so I’m very organized and intentional with my schedule. I plan my days to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and care they deserve. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets. I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a large fenced in back yard that allows for plenty of exercise. However, I also enjoy long walks and am available in the mornings and evenings during the week and all day on the weekends. I also have a lot of space within my home for pets to roam like they are a part of the family.
About: My wife and I are a military family with a daughter, and we understand that pets are family. With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, we provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment for your furry baby while you’re away. We treat every pet as if they were our own and look forward to welcoming them into our home with plenty of love, attention, and care. I work fully remote from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and care throughout the day. Because I am home nearly 24/7, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and affection. Unlike sitters who are away for long work shifts, I am available to monitor your furry baby throughout the day and quickly respond to their needs. My flexible schedule helps ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Your furry baby will enjoy a safe, welcoming environment with plenty of room to play and relax. We have a fully fenced backyard, providing a secure space for supervised outdoor play, exercise, and potty breaks. We also have two friendly dogs of our own: * An 8-year-old female Australian Shepherd who is gentle, well-socialized, and accustomed to being around other dogs. * A 6-month-old Dachshund (wiener dog) who is playful, friendly, and loves making new friends. We understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, so we take the time to ensure introductions are done safely and at a pace that helps everyone feel comfortable. Our goal is to create a fun, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels right at home and becomes part of the family during their stay.

About: The Key Word is Patience, when you first meet an animal you must be calm and patient. Over the years one learned that once an animal realized you're not a threat you quickly become part of the pack. I've raise dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and hampsters. All lived and are living Long, Healthy, and Active lives. Proper medication and on time administered is important and I will ensure that it's done to you and your vets specifications. I work from home so I'm pretty flexible sorting the week to ensure adequate time is dedicated to the care of mine and your pets. I prefer to do a home visit prior to the first sitting or walking visit, to get an idea of the environment you're pet is a custom to as well as their routine. This also gives me and your pet a chance to have a brief meet and greet.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Midlothian stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Midlothian 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 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Midlothian with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
