“Gracie was amazing with our cats and went above and beyond! She even managed to coax our very shy cat into combing, something we struggle with! I felt very reassured by her regular updates and photos. We couldn’t ask for a better experience! We highly recommend her services to other pet owners!”
“Carleen was so attentive to our three puppies. The pictures she sent truly showed how she cared for them during our vacation. It was so nice to know that they were so well cared for in our home.”
“Ruby loves Allison! We appreciate her prompt communication and attention to detail. She brings in my packages, searches for missing treasure Ruby has buried in the yard. Highly recommend!”
“Kristy was fantastic with our dog that required medication at specific times. She is very responsive and helpful when booking as well. I will definitely use her again!”
“Peyton was Great!! She made time to stop by in advance tomake sure me and Bentley were comfortable with her. It nice to walk her through the steps needed. She was very accommodating and super sweet. Very good communication and no issues. Bentley loved her and we'll definitely use Peyton again in the future.”
“Lauren did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Luna Laruen was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable while I was away. Laruen sent me pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made it easy to see that Pluto was doing great. When I got home, he was relaxed, happy, and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive pet sitter. I would definitely book again and plan to do so!”
“Kayla was very kind and communicative throughout the entire process. Thanks to her we were able to come back to a neat home and our cats seemed very well taken care of in our absence. Would highly recommend her if you're on the lookout for a sitter.”
“Sarah watched our two kitties for a week, coming in every day to play, comfort, and care for them while we were away. Everyday, she sent us multiple photos, a few videos, and a thorough run down of her time with them. When we returned from our trip, the kitties were calm and happy to see us - not stressed at all! We highly recommend Sarah and will definitely be using her again! Thank you Sarah!”
“Renee was so wonderful with our dogs when we were away this past weekend! She was prompt with her visits and provided detailed summaries of what her and the dogs did when she was there. We will definitely be contacting her next time we need a sitter!”
About: I've always had a soft spot for the pets that need a little extra love. Over the years, I've adopted two rescue dogs and two rescue cats. One of my dogs was a deaf and partially blind senior who had been overlooked at the shelter, and caring for him taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to make an anxious or special-needs pet feel safe. Today I'm the proud cat mom to two tuxedo rescues, ages 14 and 6, who both have separation anxiety. Because of them, I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, maintain their routines, and earn their trust. I'll care for your pets with the same patience and love I give my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable care and adjust my schedule to meet each pet's needs. I'm an early riser, so my mornings always begin by feeding, playing with, and checking in on my own cats before I start my workday. Because I'm home throughout the day, I'm able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and playtime rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Whether your cat needs a little extra affection, interactive play, fresh food and water, or simply someone to check in and make sure they're comfortable, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care. I know how important routine is—especially for cats—and I'll do my best to keep your pet's day as familiar and stress-free as possible while you're away. At home, my cats are part of my family, and I make sure they always have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, daily playtime, and, of course, plenty of affection on their own terms. Because they have very different personalities, I've learned that every cat has unique needs. One may want to play and cuddle, while another simply appreciates a calm presence and a predictable routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your feeding schedule, refresh water, clean litter boxes, administer medications if needed, and spend quality time with your pet based on what makes them happiest—whether that's interactive play, brushing, lap time, or simply sitting quietly with them so they feel safe and comfortable.
About: Hello! My name is Christian and I have been a dog lover since the age of 8 when we got a black lab named Charlie. He was a 100+ lb teddy bear who would go on runs, play basketball, and nap whenever he got the chance. Then, my fiancé (at the time) and I got a miniature long haired dachshund who is now seven months old. A year later, we adopted another miniature long haired dachshund from the same family (half-brother). As you can see, I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. Growing up, I strongly considered being a vet as being around animals makes me happiest. If you choose me to take care of your dog, you can be sure they will be loved, pampered, and given high quality care. Contact me today! I am currently off for the summer as a doctoral student and work remotely part-time during the school year. So, my schedule is pretty flexible and I am confident that we can work out an agreeable schedule. I will plan to take care of your fur babies in your own home unless you have a small animal that is particularly friendly with others. It is extremely important to me that your animals feel safe, loved, and cared for in the best way possible. During the meet and greet, I will try to get an understanding of their needs and levels of affection that are appropriate. I also have three young kiddos who love animals and have been taught the appropriate, safe way to approach animals that are not ours. If that would be helpful or meaningful for your animals, I know they would love to meet them too, but obviously at your discretion.
“Shannon was wonderful with our pets. We have a very wacky dog that she was so patient with. She paid attention to all of our cats, and even got our most shy ones to let her pet them. She was careful and attentive to our Crested Gecko as well. She provided thorough updates every visit, and the pictures made us confident our pets were being well taken care of. We would absolutely book Shannon again to care for our family while we’re away!”
“Alison was wonderful. My family was dealing with extremely challenging circumstances and I didn’t make things as high a a priority as I should I have. I was extremely fortunate to have had a wonderful drop in visit by her where Hallie was well-loved on and cared for and I absolutely can not recommend her enough.”
About: I am a full service pet provider. I am very flexible through out the day! I can walk, do check ins, feeding, meds you name it. My schedule is extremely flexible during the week. I am available throughout the day for whatever your pet needs are. I am happy to help! I offer a full range of pet care in home or day/overnight boarding. I take the utmost care to ensure your pets safety or dietary needs.
About: Growing up, we always had at least one dog in my family and raised them from puppy to senior. When we adopted our second dog, I started taking care of it as the primary caretaker. Then we adopted two more puppies that I also primarily raised when I was home. I now have my dog who is a 8 years old. I am experienced with both puppies and senior dogs. If requested, I can also work with and reinforce any commands or behaviors that you want. This can be sit, stay, down, minimizing jumping, certain socializations or loose leash walking. If there are any other special requests we are also able to try to fulfill them.
“Janini was fantastic!! She did a daily visit/walk. She showed up when she said she would and was in great communication for the 5 days she took care of my dog. I would highly recommend her!!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats most of my life, including caring for a German Shepherd. I’m experienced with anxious and shy dogs. I’m comfortable with both large and small breeds and have experience with a range of personalities and energy levels. I treat every pet with the same patience, care, and attention I’d want for my own. I’m currently available evenings start ant 6:30pm and almost every weekend from 7am to 9pm. My availability will open up even more soon. I don’t have any pups or kitties living with me right now. I love going for long walks, playing with pups, and generally spoiling them. I can easily put your pets in crates if requested. Giving food, water and treats is something I’m happy to do! If your fur baby just needs a little company, I’d love to do that as well. I have many years of experience with fearful dogs who may be triggered by the sight of other dogs, people, animals, people on bikes, etc. They just need extra care and attention, but they’re still lovable. Medicine administration is also something I am comfortable doing. Lastly, I have experience with puppies/kittens all the way to senior pets.
About: I've had many cats throughout my life, and I love them dearly. I am quite knowledgeable about felines. My current cat, Marble, has been with me since he was about 5 weeks old, and he's now 6 years old. I also adore dogs and have taken care of many medium- and small-sized ones. My first job was dog walking when I was 14. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine as a full-time writer and filmmaker. My flexible schedule and frequent downtime make it easy to care for my pets. I give dogs and cats all the love and attention they need. I provide playtime, feedings, walks, baths, and medications. Having had mischievous cats myself, I am very attentive to every animal in my care.

Camryn was awesome! She walked our dog, Lily for us while we were gone for a long weekend. Lily is 12 years old and she takes her time on her walks and Camryn let her do her thing each time. She was super nice and super helpful! We would definitely use her again.
We booked Jillian for a few drop-ins for our dog & 2 cats. We are very happy with the service she provided! Her communication was great and we received lots of pictures of all of our pets so our minds were left at ease knowing everyone was happy and cared for!
Emily is amazing always but this time specifically I had her take care of my dog, my parents dog, and my grandparents dog. They all had special requirements and she did great! My parent’s dog was slow to warm up but Emily easily won him over. She is the best and I can’t recommend her enough!!!
Alison was wonderful. My family was dealing with extremely challenging circumstances and I didn’t make things as high a a priority as I should I have. I was extremely fortunate to have had a wonderful drop in visit by her where Hallie was well-loved on and cared for and I absolutely can not recommend her enough.
Carina has been an amazing dog sitter, very responsive and is able to handle my energetic dogs. She has really taken the time to earn the trust of my (2) border collies and has been great at meeting time schedules. She is good at communicating and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!
Hallie did an excellent job with our rescue dog! He loved her and we knew that he was in the best of hands after our meet and greet! We especially appreciated the communication, updates and photos with each visit. Thank you for loving our little guy like your own, Hallie!!

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 .
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.
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.
