“We had an amazing experience with Amanda! She was so kind and attentive! All 3 of our dogs loved her right away, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of town! She kept us updated, took great care of them, and left our home clean and tidy. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Laura is a friendly, dependable, dog loving sitter. She stayed at our house while we were away and cared for our three dogs who all eat differently and take medication. We could tell when she met them that she would love them like we do. And when we returned they were happy and not traumatized. We highly recommend Laura.”
“Amber was so proactive and attentive with our senior baby Maya!! Our girl usually struggles to warm up to strangers, but she made fast friends with Amber. We also received tons of pictures and videos while on a trip out of town. We'll be in touch again soon - thank you so much!!”
“Maida was wonderful with our dog and cat. She was great at communication and kept us updated! It was great knowing our babies were in great hands. We will definitely use Maida again!”
“Armani was fabulous!!! She helped us out very last minute when we were in a bind, sent great updates with pictures and took care of our baby when she had an accident. We definitely recommend Armani and plan on rebooking in the future!”
About: My husband Justin and I have been married since 2018 and we have 3 fur babies. We welcomed our first child in March 2021. We love training, caring for, and loving on animals. Justin is a 5th grade teacher and Lauren works from home full time with an educational technology company. We would love to care for your fur baby like our own. Because Lauren works from home you pup can come in and out of the house all day and enjoy some indoor and outdoor playtime! We have 2 rescue dogs and one rescue cat who we love! Our cat has a home in the office with a baby gate up. No need to worry if your dog is not comfortable with cats, she can stay in the office with her cat tree and all the things she needs. she doesn't venture out from there much anyways. We would be happy to bring your fur babies into our house or stop in for playtime or a walk! Just let me know what your needs are and we will accommodate in anyway! I also have experience house training, and walk training puppies. We just request your fur baby is not aggressive as we have other animals and a small child in the house! I look forward to meeting you, and caring for your fur baby. I currently work from home, so I am able to let the dogs out as often as needed for potty breaks or playtime. This also means they get love all throughout the day! My husband is a school teacher so he is at work during the week. We enjoy taking family walks in the evening after a days work. When your fur baby is in our house we treat them as our own. We have a animal friendly home, allow pets on furniture, and have lots of toys to play with. We have water bowls and dog beds throughout the house. The dogs also love going in the backyard to play with us and run around. We just ask you bring the dogs food and feeding instructions. You are welcome to bring beds or anything your fur baby needs to feel comfortable, but not required. We have lots of beds, bowls, toys, etc. We do have a child born in 2021. She is very good with animals, respects their space, and knows how to approach new animals. She loves playing with them and loving on them while they are in our house. Please if you are unsure or aware your dog is not good with children, please identify an alternate sitter. Although our daughter is very good with dogs/animals, we want to ensure a good experience for both our family and your fur baby.
About: Every pet is a total original, whether they're a high-energy goofball, a timid cuddle-bug, or a wise old senior set in their ways. They deserve care tailored to their unique rhythm & vibe, not a one-size-fits-all kennel. As a lifelong animal friend, who has raised multiple cats and dogs, I meet pets right at their comfort level. That might mean burning off steam with a big energy walk, patiently building trust with a timid cat, or just hanging out on the couch for a sweet post-play nap. What Sets Me Apart: - Reading the Room (and your Pet): I specialize in recognizing a pet's individual needs and providing the right energy and personalized care for them. I bring upbeat, structured energy for active dogs, and a calm, grounded patience for anxious or sensitive animals. - All Life Stages & Custom Routines: From puppy chaos and strict medication schedules, to gentle slow-paced senior mobility care, I follow your exact instructions to the letter. -100% Dedicated & Solo Visits: Being a father of four and a primary caregiver, means staying organized and calm under pressure. Adapting to the unexpected to keep everyone safe, healthy, and happy is second nature. I attend every walk, drop-in, and overnight 100% solo so your pet gets my full focus and attention. -Bonus Green Thumb: If you have houseplants or an outdoor garden, I'm always happy to keep them watered and thriving while I'm watching your home! My current schedule offers exceptional flexibility and open availability throughout the week. I manage my own daily calendar, so I can easily adapt to your pet's routine rather than forcing them into a rigid window. If your pet need a morning walk, a midday visit, or dedicated evening care, I am able to prioritize their schedule to provide them my full, undivided attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety and security are the absolute top priorities. Before any service begins, I appreciate a thorough meet-and-greet to review emergency contacts, household entry/exit routines, and your pet's specific habits. I take a proactive approach to pet safety and home care by, - Preventing Trouble: Constantly monitoring for "escape artists", fence-digging, or temptations to scratch or chew furniture. Prevention is always best, so a gentle redirect helps avoid issues to begin with. - Securing the Home: Ensuring all doors, gates, and leashes are double checked, to keep your home fully secure during and after every visit. - Cleanliness & Maintenance: Promptly cleaning up any accidents, muddy paws, or litter box mess so your home stays as tidy as you left it. - Routine & Health Care: Administering medications precisely on time and adhering strictly to your established routines to keep your pet calm and confident. You can also expect regular photo updates and clear communication with each visit, so you have complete peace of mind.
About: My mom and I originally shared this Rover account, and now I’m taking it over myself. I’ve helped care for pets through the account and have also been pet sitting for family, friends, and clients for years.

Whether your pet needs a walk, potty break, meals, playtime, cuddles, or simply some company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and getting the attention they deserve. I carefully follow your instructions and pay attention to the little things, because I know every pet is different.You’ll also receive updates and photos during visits so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. My goal is to make being away from your pet easier for you and stress-free for them.You can relax knowing your pet is cared for with patience, attention, and lots of love. 🐾💕 I have a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and last-minute bookings. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, allowing me to give each pet plenty of attention and care. I have a safe and loving environment to cater to your pet needs.

“Dakota was great with our animals. They are a handful of a group, so it was awesome that Dakota was able to handle them. He was also very good about keeping in contact and keeping me in the loop!”
“Morgan was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my dog, Remington! She is so sweet, kind, and professional. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Remington was well cared for and comfortable with her. Morgan is an excellent communicator and made the entire experience easy and stress-free. Morgan even cleaned Remington’s dishes and followed the feeding instructions exactly perfectly! I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 💗🐾⭐️”
“Justin was amazing. We moved back to TX after 25 years working for the government in the NOVA DC area and we were hesitant on who we could trust with our babies especially since one had been very sick after we found out she is allergic to either bee stings or fireant bites. Justin was very careful with our high maintenance little guys and our German shepherd absolutely loved him. We have trusted our babies with other services and it was stressful coming home to a disaster of a mess. We came home with a peace of mind knowing our home was taken care of along with our babies. We have plans to use him for ever long he is available to use.”
“Ty provided exceptional care for our dogs, demonstrating genuine love and understanding of their needs. His regular updates and photos helped ease our worries while we were away. Knowing that both our high-energy and reactive dogs were well cared for and enjoyed their time with him is invaluable. Will definitely be booking with Ty again!”
About: Howdy! My name is Sydney and I love pets! I have my own 6 year old dog, Koa, and he is my absolute best friend! We also have an 8 month old Golden Retriever named Rudder! I’d love to watch your pet, as it doesn’t just benefit me, it also benefits Koa and Rudder with a friend! I know how important and comforting it is to know your pet is in a safe and loving place, and I’m here to provide just that! I am more than happy to provide any accommodations to you and your dog, as I know every pup is special. I can’t wait to hang out with your pups and learn their fun quirks! Our time would be spent cuddling, taking walks, and lots of play! I am a teacher and my husband owns his company. I am home during summers, work 3 minutes from our home and get off at 3! My husband is able to come and go throughout the day as he can work from anywhere. We are super flexible! Our 2 pups are spoiled themselves (as they should be)! I have dog sat many times before, just not on River. We love all dogs like our own. We know how important it is to trust who has your babies. we always have 2 bowls of water filled, with lots of areas for dogs to relax.
“Updated review: we have used Alisha’s services many times now and love her. I don’t worry when we are away because I know our pets will be very well taken care of and loved.”
“Azia was great with our Australian Shepherd! She was well cared for and obviously given lots of attention. Azia also communicated with us regularly about how our pup was doing. We’d love to have her watch Millie again!”
“Destini was so great! She took good care of our pups while we were out and stayed in touch with us. No doubt they were a bit trying at times but she handled it like a pro! Definitely recommend!”

Darian is awesome! Immediately when we met her during the meet&greet, we knew she is the right person. She is very responsible, organized and knowledgeable. She gave us peace of mind during our trip, and it was the first time we left our fur babies with someone not from our family. Darian is very responsive and committed, and pays great attention to the special needs of the pups.
This was the first time using Rover! Ariel was amazing!! She took the time to come over before to meet all of my puppies!! They love her!! When I came home the house was cleaner than when I left it and she even started a load of laundry for me!! There were even fresh baked cookies!! Thank you Ariel!

FAQs for House Sitting - Midlothian
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Midlothian on Rover is $24.61 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,964 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Midlothian. 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 Midlothian 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 Midlothian 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 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
