About: Hi I’m Ryder! Taking care of animals isn’t just a job for me, I love doing it. I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was in 6th grade and I am very serious about the safety and comfort of animals. I currently have my own adorable cat and puppy back home who are very happy and healthy. I have a deep love for animals and I can take care of any task you need for your animal. I will send you photo and text updates while with your pet. I will be the perfect sitter/walker for your you! I’m currently a college football player at Golden West College. I have practice Monday-Friday from 7-11AM, and class until 2PM. I am available Monday-Friday from 3PM-10PM! Saturdays and Sundays I have games and church and am not available :/ I understand how important and scary it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m responsible, attentive, and patient, and I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they’re in my care. I treat your pet like it’s my own.
“Bianca took very good care of my dog!! She was easy to work with and had great communication. She made sure my dog went out to potty before the end of her shift. I highly recommend!”
About: I LOVE dogs and have a large mixed-breed rescue of my own who is 12 years old! I’ve cared for her since she was 1, so I have years of hands-on senior care, including administering medication and cooking her meals. My family & friends have trusted me to care for their dogs for years too! I love playing and staying active with pups because I know how important exercise and mental stimulation are for their health and happiness. Long walks are a must! Your pup’s well-being, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, as well as drop-ins and pet sitting. I can accommodate your dog’s usual feeding, potty, medication, and exercise routines, and I’m happy to discuss specific scheduling needs in advance! Your pup’s safety & comfort are my top priorities! I provide a loving, attentive, and stress-free environment where your dog can feel at home. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain your pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate any special needs, dietary requirements, or medications. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your fur baby will be treated like family! 🫶🏼
“Vivian was great! Super transparent, scheduled a meet & greet, is very organized and really good with communication. Skye is a moody Shih Tzu and Vivian was super calm with him and got along really well.”
“Shelby was so great!! She did a home stay with our dog Bowie who is very dog-reactive. She followed all our instructions and made sure he was comfortable on walks. She also provided updates and pictures and videos and communicated so much which we requested and really appreciated. Will definitely book her again and highly recommend her as a pet sitter! We loved her!”
About: I've taken care of animals old and young, playful and shy, and they all get the same amount of love and attention. No paw left behind. I work part time at a restaurant. I had been walking dogs the past couple years, as well as taking care of my own cat. Whither it be morning or afternoon, I always make quality time for your pets. Depending on the care needed. I spend time playing, cleaning up after animals, walks depending on how long you choose and any other activities or duties is needed, all done with care and a calm positive attitude toward the animals.
“Josie was wonderful! She was respectful of our home, very clean, and took great care of our dogs. They seemed really happy and comfortable with her, and communication throughout the stay was easy and consistent. We really appreciated how responsible and considerate she was, and we would absolutely have Josie stay with our dogs again!”
“Elizabeth stayed at my house to take care of my dog while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and clearly cared for my pup like he was her own. I received daily updates and adorable pictures, which gave me such peace of mind while I was gone. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter! I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
“This was my second time using Rover and I was really nervous. We have had the same dog sitter for about three years now but she is pregnant and due to give birth any day so she was unavailable. Annalie was an AMAZING communicator - incredibly prompt and so nice. Annalie came over for a meet and greet and a tour of the home and agreed it would work! Annalie watched our 12.5 year old French bulldog who has some medical things to be mindful of. We got videos and pictures and checks in as frequently as I requested in the app. I will 100% use Annalie again and I highly recommend!”
“Sarah was great! She kept us updated, sent pictures and our dogs seemed happy & comfortable upon returning which is the most important. Happy to have her as a trusted dog sitter to use in the future!”
“Emily has watched our anxious dog overnight a few times now and has been wonderful. She is a great communicator and sends a lot of fun updates and pictures. She’s patient with our crazy dog and has left the house sparkling in our return. We def plan on continuing to ask her to help in the future!”
“Very sweet and conscientious care for my sometimes ornery shepherd. She managed my pup perfectly on the two walks she took and I found her sincere and charming. I would definitely recommend Danielle and plan to ask her to care for my pup again.”
“Tammy was amazing. She spent a lot of one on one time with our little ones and was very attentive of the directions we asked for. She also kept in contact and sent pictures which my wife really liked. Would rate an 11 out of 10 and definitely use again.”
“We loved Alicia. Freya was very happy and enjoyed her time. How do I know? From pictures and how happy she was when I got home. Alicia understood to not be put off by her initial barking and got to know Freya at her pace and after the initial meeting, Freya warmed right up. I felt confident about Alicia and didn't worry at all while I was gone. Would definitely book her again.”
“Katie went above and beyond to make sure our pets were taken care of properly. She did a quick visit to meet the pups and get a lay of the house in advance of the housesit. Katie sent updates throughout the stay, which made us feel like we were in good hands!”
“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home and took such great care of our dog Mookie and our house. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable and knew Mookie was in good hands. She was responsible, communicative, respectful and sent lots of updates and photos. We would absolutely trust Stephanie with our home and dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs and familiarizing myself with their behaviors I have partnered up with several local shelters in Orange County and LA and have fostered many dogs long term and short term. I have trained them so they can be placed in loving homes and have an easy transition. Each dog that comes in, I treat them like my own and give them all the love and exercise they need. Currently I do not have any fosters in my care and I welcome dogs of many backgrounds. I have a flexible schedule as I have my own business offering legal and identity protection. I work from home and have several entreprenurial ventures. I make my own schedule so I can give your dog the time and attention it needs. I simply abide by the owners wishes and follow their routine. i maintain the same command gestures as the owners and I make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Midway City is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Midway City
Vivian went above and beyond to make sure George and Lucy were well taken care of! It was their first time having anyone other than a family member house sitting and she by far exceeded my expectations! She even had George snuggling with her! To say she’s an effective communicator is an understatement. She let me know every thing they were doing and I was able to enjoy my daughter’s wedding weekend! We will definitely use Vivian again, she’s the best!!!
Shelby was so great!! She did a home stay with our dog Bowie who is very dog-reactive. She followed all our instructions and made sure he was comfortable on walks. She also provided updates and pictures and videos and communicated so much which we requested and really appreciated. Will definitely book her again and highly recommend her as a pet sitter! We loved her!
I can’t say enough good things about Sarah and how well she cares for our dogs and our home. We have a special needs dog that is especially challenging, and she is so patient and good with him. He takes a lot of medicine and has a special feeding routine. He has been especially picky about food recently, and Sarah somehow managed to get him to eat all his meals. Both of our dogs love her, and our other dog has even been checking the guest room when we wake up in the morning to see if Sarah is still here. Sarah takes great care of our house as well. I cannot recommend her enough!
Jaclyn took great care of our pets, followed all our instructions and sent photos along. She even cleaned up our dogs mess when she got into our babies diaper pail and swept the house before leaving even without being asked. Would definitely book with her again!
Cynthia has pet/house sat for us many times. Every time she has taken excellent care of our pets and this time we have a new dog so there were two dogs of very different ages and energy levels to care for. She was attentive to each one and took great care of our house, too. She is a great sitter and is highly recommended.
We loved Alicia. Freya was very happy and enjoyed her time. How do I know? From pictures and how happy she was when I got home. Alicia understood to not be put off by her initial barking and got to know Freya at her pace and after the initial meeting, Freya warmed right up. I felt confident about Alicia and didn't worry at all while I was gone. Would definitely book her again.
Grace was amazing! We always get nervous when booking through rover because we know our dog can be a handful at times. Grace was very reassuring of her positive spirit and enjoyment spending time with our dog. She does really well at communicating and keeping us updated with photos and videos throughout the day as well. She’s very professional, confident, and good at what she does! We’d love to book Grace again if we need a sitter in the future.
Cassaundra was absolutely wonderful. She kept me updated with photos while we were gone and made sure our animals were loved and cared for. She also went the extra mile and cleaned our house which looked even better than when we left it! Will definitely book her again to house sit when we’re out of town.
This was my first time leaving my dog to someone outside of the family in my 10 years of having her and I'm so glad it was with Paulo! He was very communicative and understanding of my many requirements for her care. He's responsible and kind. I will definitely book with him again for any upcoming trips I have! Thank you, Paulo!!!
Bryce was great with my dog Millie, he was punctual and it was super nice that I didn’t have to worry about her, especially since it was a last minute booking. I’ve used him for a maternity photo shoot with a previous dog I’ve had & he was able to capture the best photos. Would highly recommend for dog sitting or pet photography

FAQs for House Sitting - Midway City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Midway City on Rover is $63.66 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 10,429 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Midway City. 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 Midway City 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 Midway City 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 Midway City 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Midway City. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
