“We had a great experience with Thomas! He went above and beyond with Dexter, walking him all over the neighborhood, playing with him in the backyard, and giving him enough exercise to tire him out. The communication was excellent and we’ll be sure to reach out to him in the future!”
“Françoise is amazing she is sweet, kind and just good hearted person. She was amazing to work with my dog was very comfortable! She was even able to work with my crazy changing schedule. Look forward to work with her again!”
“Jocelyn was an incredible cat sitter for our two young cats. She was great to communicate with and she sent us many pictures/videos while we were away. She made sure our cats were receiving attention, playtime and kindness. She really went above and beyond what we initially expected from a cat sitter.”
“Laura was PHENOMENAL! This was our first experience with Rover in general and we are thrilled with how it went down. I was so excited to see a new detailed report on my little guy each day we were gone. She also did a few things extra like take in our mail, and bring our empty trash bin back up to the house. Just so much more than I expected! Will definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi! I'm a passionate pet sitter with professional experience working in both a boarding kennel and a veterinary clinic. During my time at the kennel, I cared for pets of all ages—from young puppies and kittens to senior pets—and worked with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also have experience caring for pets with medical conditions and special needs, including administering medications and providing attentive, individualized care. Working in a veterinary clinic has further strengthened my knowledge of animal health and behavior, allowing me to recognize when a pet may need extra attention and provide confident, compassionate care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll treat them like one of my own. My goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind with regular updates and photos throughout my visits. 🐾 I currently work full time at the veterinary clinic but I can pop in multiple times a day to check on your furry friend(s) or I can also stay the night at your house 😊 When caring for your furry friends in their home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine as much as possible. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship and attention based on each pet’s personality and needs. I also have experience working in both a veterinary clinic and a boarding kennel, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including those with medical conditions or special care instructions. I understand that pets feel most secure in their own environment, so I take the time to make them feel calm and cared for while you’re away. I can administer medications if needed and will closely follow any instructions you provide to ensure their health and well-being. During each visit, I’ll also check that everything is safe and in order in your home, and I’ll provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pets are doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring, capable hands. 🐾
“Damacia did a nice job taking care of our kitties. He was punctual and professional. He communicated when he would be at our house and when he left. He also took pictures of our kitties which was nice. I would recommend him for sure.”
“Kayla was great, hung out and played with my cat and made sure everyone got fed & meds! She even washed the food plates instead of sticking them in the dishwasher. Thanks, Kayla!”
“Cynthia did a fantastic job taking care of my cat! She made sure she always had water, a clean litter box, and a little play time. She updated me with each visit and gave a thorough report card to let me know how things were going. I would definitely recommend Cynthia as a cat sitter and book her for future trips.”
“This was our first Rover experience. Kaylee was a perfect Rover for Percy, our young and adventurous cat. She didn’t hesitate to take him out on his walks not knowing where he would take her in the yard. She let us know what they were up to every visit with follow up photos. All Percy’s needs were met.”
“Cait was amazing with our Goldendoodle, Bella! She spent lots of quality time with her and allowed us to enjoy our family vacation knowing she was taken care of. Updates and photos every visit really helped! Even took care of a few things around the house like bringing in mail and packages. Definitely recommend her!”
“Kiera took amazing care of my punk. She walked her and fed. Punk was so happy and calm when I got home. I really appreciated the updates and photos too. Definitely recommend!”
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.
“Paula does such an amazing job! She is patient with our stubborn Otis and gives him so much attention and so many cuddles. She has a flexible schedule and is always quick to respond.”
“Julia was so patient with my little guy! Very knowledgeable about pets. Will book again . Great communication and asked questions to give my boy the best visit !”
About: I’ve been a pet parent for years, so I totally get it—leaving your fur baby behind is tough! I’ve spent plenty of time caring for the pets of family and friends, so I’m a pro at helping a nervous pup or kitty feel right at home. I’m a big fan of getting outside, so if your dog has energy to burn, we’ll hit the local trails to make sure they’re tuckered out and ready for a long nap. I also have hands-on experience with diabetic pups and am fully comfortable administering insulin injections, so your senior or special, needs friends, are in safe hands with me! Currently working part time, so I have a flexible schedule during weekdays and weekends. I am looking to ger outside more so I look forward to the pup walks. I have a fully fenced-in yard with plenty of grass and shade trees, perfect for afternoon sniffing and exploring! Plus, I have two dog-friendly cats who are totally unfazed by pups, making this a great spot for socialized dogs to hang out and relax.
“Stephanie just did a quick drop in with Ranger one weekend when we were gone for the day! She was very responsive, flexible, and great at communicating the details of the visit! Would definitely hire again.”
“Ann did an amazing job with our furbabies. She was very communicative and honest. The moment she arrived for our pre-visit our dogs were all over her and they throughly enjoyed her company. She was professional and took lots of pictures. I cannot wait for her to watch our dogs the next time we are out of town.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Midlothian
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!!
Ella was fantastic during our meet and greet! She was gentle and patient with my puppy, and it was clear she has a genuine love for dogs. She answered all my questions and made me feel completely at ease about having her check in on the little guy when I'm away. I'm happy to have found her!

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 2,435 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.

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.
