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.
“We have never used a sitter for our dogs before and are so glad we went with Amanda!! Our dogs take a little time to warm up to new people in our home and Amanda was patient and wonderful through the whole process. We are so happy with her and plan on working with her for as long as we can!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover, educator, and dependable caregiver who understands that pets are family. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving home where your dog will feel comfortable while you’re away. As a teacher, patience, responsibility, and attention to detail are part of who I am. I bring those same qualities to caring for every pet. Whether your dog enjoys playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing with lots of affection, I’ll tailor their care to fit their routine and personality. I believe in keeping pet parents informed, so you can expect regular updates and photos during your dog’s stay. I know how reassuring it is to know your pet is happy and well cared for. My home is a peaceful environment, and I treat every dog like one of my own. Before boarding, I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet so we can make sure it’s the perfect fit for everyone. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work full-time as a teacher Monday through Friday. On weekdays, I leave home around 6:45 a.m. and return by approximately 5:00 p.m. Because of this, I am best suited for dogs that are comfortable being home without a human during the school day. I have a dog of my own that could be your pet’s company. I also have cameras that helped me keep an eye on the pets. Outside of work, I’m home for the evenings and provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection. On weekends, I’m typically home most of the day, allowing for lots of companionship and quality time with your pet. I’m committed to maintaining your dog’s normal routine as much as possible and will provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. Every dog is different, so I like to tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and the owner’s preferences. Before each stay, we’ll discuss your dog’s routine, sleeping arrangements, exercise needs, and any special instructions so I can provide care that’s as close to home as possible. I have a secure, fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time. My home also has a dog door that can be opened or closed depending on what’s safest and most appropriate for your dog. If your dog is crate trained, I am happy to follow your normal crate routine, including during the school day if that’s what they’re accustomed to. If your dog is not crate trained, we’ll discuss the best option to ensure they’re safe and comfortable while I’m at work. My priority is always your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being. On evenings and weekends, I’m home to provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and affection.
“Tasha provided exceptional care for Luna, our pitbull mix. Her service was marked by kindness, reliability, and punctuality, impressing us at every visit. Luna not only received great care but also gained a new friend. We'll definitely be booking Tasha again soon.”
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.
“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 ?”
“Teresa was wonderful with my cat. My shy cat took right to her the first time they met. Teresa came over once a day to care for my cat and spent over 30 minutes with her every time, not just caring for her but petting her and playing with her. She sent me pictures of her and a note to let me know how she was doing. She definitely put my mind at ease about leaving my cat alone for several days. Highly recommend!”
“Emma is Awesome She was communicating with me very well. Very friendly with my doggies. Rudy is easy to become friends with but Lulu is a little bit more, by second visit looks like everything was great. She fed and walked the dogs and loved on them while we were away.”
“Alexia was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly kind, responsive, and flexible with our schedule, which made everything so easy and stress-free. Most importantly, you could tell she genuinely cared about our pets and treated them like they were her own. She spent so much time playing with our cats and making sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. She even went above and beyond by helping with the vacuum, water fountain, and Litter-Robot, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets and home were in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend Alexia and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“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 :)”
“Kari is the best! My 3 fur babies love her. She sure spoils them. We go on very long vacations…2 to 4 weeks ever few months and I feel at ease with her taking care of them. We receive pictures and how they are doing with each visit!”

Samaneh did an amazing job caring for our two crazy lol Maltipoos. She was punctual, did everything we requested and more, communication and photos were awesome, and she cared for them with compassion. She is very thorough, courteous, and sweet. I would definitely recommend Samaneh.

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 September 2026, there are 4,999 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
