About: Over the past 3 years, I’ve helped a close friend by caring for her dogs while she was away. I make sure dogs get plenty of attention, walks, and a consistent routine so they feel happy and comfortable. I offer in-home visits for your pets at times that work best for you. Each visit includes attention, playtime, and care that keeps their routine consistent while you’re away. I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I provide safe and reliable in-home care for your pets. I follow your instructions carefully, make sure your pet feels comfortable, and keep their routine consistent. I also update you if anything important happens, so you always know your pet is safe and happy.
About: I've had my first dog when I was 13 years old and have been around dogs my entire life. I feel I can provide the love and care you need! I'm currently part-time so I am able to provide the love and care your pet needs. Playing, cuddling, walking are what a dogs dreams are made of! I have a fenced yard and was raised in an indoor/outdoor kind of dog family :) we love our fur babies and I hope to come to love yours! I am used to dogs mostly being inside the home.
“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. We really enjoyed the numerous photos to allow us tobsee how well they were doing. Our minds were certainly at ease allowing us to enjoy our time away from home. Thanks Brianna!”
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 had the privilege to care for animals professionally for over 20 years in the zoo field. My work has given me extensive experience reading animal behavior and providing patient, low-stress care tailored to each individual’s needs. While my career includes working with a wide variety of species, I genuinely love spending time with dogs and cats. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or just likes things done a certain way, I’ll take the time to get to know them and make each visit a positive experience. I’m comfortable caring for puppies and kittens, senior pets, multi-pet households, and administering many oral medications. I use positive reinforcement, prioritize safety, and pay close attention to details, so you can trust that your pet’s routine will be followed carefully. Communication is also important to me. You’ll receive updates and photos after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! On weekdays, I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks before work and again after 4:00 p.m. Since I work a consistent first-shift schedule (7:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.), you can count on reliable availability. My weekends are Sunday and Monday, when I have much more flexibility for visits and walks throughout the day. For drop-in visits and walks, I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding, refreshing water, administering approved medications, cleaning litter boxes, potty breaks, playtime, or simply spending quality time with your pet. During walks, I pay close attention to each dog’s body language, the environment, weather conditions, and any potential hazards. I use positive reinforcement and never force a pet into situations that make them uncomfortable. If your pet is shy or nervous, I’ll let them set the pace and work to build trust through calm, patient interactions. I also know how important communication is while you’re away. After every visit, I’ll send you an update with photos and let you know how your pet did, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.
“We felt soooo comfortable leaving our Kaiser with Lauren and Justin. They made sure to tell us everything that was going on and sent plenty of pictures, which I appreciate so so much. He had a wound while we were away, and they were so nice to put some medicine on it. Will definitely book again for next time we go out! 100% recommended ?”
“Kristen did an amazing job checking in on our dog. She was great with communicating when she was coming and leaving. She also sent pictures at each check in. I highly recommend Kristen for watching your pet. We will be going back to Kristen if ever in need :)”
“Shadesha was amazing with my babies! She took great care of them and sent me pictures everyday. She even got paisley to like her, which is no small feat! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her in the future!”

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Midlothian on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,112 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Midlothian. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Midlothian. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
