“Laura was wonderful with my babies. She sent photos of the dogs outside. She followed directions on their food/water feeding. She is very trustworthy, pays attention to detail. Laura was within the timeframe we discussed, she text me when she saw it appeared someone else had been in my home. (I failed to inform her a domestic keeper would also be there at times) I will definitely be using her again.”
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and would love the chance to care for your pets! I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members, so I’ll always treat them like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, whether they love to play, go on walks, cuddle on the couch, or just need some company. I’m dependable, patient, and will make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and getting lots of attention while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!

Walks, playtime, naps, all of it is important for the growth and to promote a healthy mindset for animals I have a fenced in yard for lots of play time, I have many toys for dogs or cats to play with and will be able to take them on walks often if needed
“Kamryn took care of our two cats for a week and was great about getting over there to see them. This was her first experience with cat sitting, which has some different requirements than dog sitting, obviously.She always sent pictures of our fuzzballs after she was done, which was great to see they were in good hands. Thank you so much!”
“Melany was fantastic! She was attentive to our pups and provided nice updates and photos from her visits. She was flexible with her schedule and willing to work with us to accommodate what we needed. I highly recommend her (and so do our pups!!) We will be working with her again when the need arises!!”

“Brianna was great and very accommodating. She provided great communications throught the week and we could tell our companions were well taken care of.

About: I have taken care of dogs full time for 23 years. I owned and ran a family owned kennel for 22 years where I offered breeding, whelping and obedience and protection training. I have loved dogs since I was a little girl and I have never had a period in my life where I did not have a dog. I work full-time at home (remote). I am home all day meaning I can be with your baby. I look forward to watching your baby! My home is pet friendly and I have several kennels and dog beds in my home. I also have easy access to a very nice, clean, controlled dog park.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and grew up surrounded by dogs and cats that I adored and cared for. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to care for friends’ pets whenever they needed a helping hand. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for a former client’s dog for four years before she passed away. That experience taught me just how important patience, consistency, companionship, and treating every pet like family truly are. I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I’m committed to providing loving, attentive care while giving pet parents peace of mind. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to spend quality time caring for your pets. 🐾 I’m available after 6 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and I’m happy to keep your pets company and give them lots of love and attention until you’re home. I’m also available for overnight boarding on weekends. Whether your pet needs some extra cuddles, playtime, or simply a calm and loving presence, I’d be happy to be there for them while you’re away! 🧡🐶🐱 I provide care in your home, where your pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, playtime, walks, cuddles, and any other care they need. My goal is to give your pets plenty of love and attention while keeping them happy, comfortable, and feeling at ease while you’re away.
“Amanda is the best Rover we've had so far after about 7+ years of Rovers. The dogs loved her and in every picture she sent us they were having a great time. She never skipped check-ins, never forgot to send pictures, and always promptly responded. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Darian is Amazing! She has watched all of my pets for years, and we love her! She has a wide variety of experience, giving each of my bbs the care, love and attention they need. Darian will be the best sitter for yours and she takes absolutely stunning photos!”

“Miranda did an excellent job dropping in and checking on my pampered family pets. She fed them, made sure they had water and were loved on, while we were away.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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 .

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 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.

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.
