“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!”
“Forest has a great energy for animals - my dog Badger seemed to like them right away during the meet & greet. Forest asked thoughtful questions about Badger’s care & instructions and I received regular updates during the multi-day sitting. I felt confident about the quality of care Badger received.”
“Great communication, sent pictures which helped me worry less about my fur babies! So nice, kept everything clean & brought in my many amazon packages without having to ask. Will definitely book Elizabeth for my future dog/house-sitting needs!”
“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 have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around and animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am willing to learn and adapt to taking care of each individual dog as needed to fulfill any needs. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving and caring for them. I have experience with both elderly dogs and puppies as young as just a few days old. I am currently available full time during the summer for any drop ins or house sitting when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home I would love to take your babies for walks, to the dog park, or anything else that is a part of their normal routine to make them more comfortable!
“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.”
“When you find someone that calms your nervous system when it comes to taking care of your pet, that you love dearly, that’s a really good feeling. Syd has given me that from the start. Competence is comforting. So happy she’s been able to step in and take care of my dog, Piggie. She’s been great keeping me advised of things going around my house, I have projects happening while I’m gone at work, and sending me a bunch of pictures of Piggie as well. So if that’s what you’re needing, it is a excellent choice”
“Denise is a friendly, pet conscious person. She arrived on-time and we had a wonderful meet and greet … the pups loved her immediately. During her visit, Denise sent me pictures of the pups and took very good care of them… This gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would recommend Denise’s service for any pet owner.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life! I grew up with an Australian Shepherd and have also helped care for my friend’s Chihuahua. While working as a nanny for the past couple of years, I regularly helped with the family’s two dogs as well, taking them on walks, feeding them, making sure they ate, and stepping in whenever their mom needed an extra hand. I’ve also stayed overnight in their home to care for both dogs while the family was away, including a two-week period of pet sitting. I’m comfortable following each pet’s normal routine and making sure they get plenty of attention, walks, and love while their family is away. ❤️ I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and lots of attention! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends and am happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with someone caring for your pets and being in your home. I’m very respectful of each pet’s routine and will follow any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, medications, or anything else they need. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and love while keeping you updated so you know they’re happy and taken care of. ❤️
“Kim is FANTASTIC!!! She was so communicative and really took the time to get to know my dogs. She even won over my fearful rescue in record time. Thank you, Kim!”
About: I've taken care of dogs, big and small since I was a teen. I used to pet sit for my neighbors when they would leave town. Im currently taking a course part time and have an open and flexible schedule. Im looking to fill up my free time with spending it with some pups enjoying this beautiful OC weather I have a sweet cuddly kitty named Luna who is so friendly and loving. She doesn't mind sharing her space with other cats or dogs
“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 am passionate about animals with over 15 years of professional experience to go with an entire life surrounded by animals. I have experience with animals ranging from newborn to senior, as well as experience with special medical needs for animals. I have been pet sitting, housesitting, and have experience working on farms as well. From cats and dogs to livestock to exotics, I have experience with them all and am passionate about providing exceptional care for all animals. I studied marine biology with courses in animal husbandry on top of the years of experience I carry. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care my focus. Between my pets, helping family and friends with their pets, and caring for neighborhood strays I center my life around making sure others are cared for. You can rest assured that your pets will be my priority and cared for with love and consideration. I am conscientious of each individual pets needs and make it my focus to provide specialized care for each animal I meet. I understand that each and every animal has their own personality and preferences so I make it a priority to learn their likes and preferences to make their time with me as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.
“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.”
“Carey did a great job taking care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated on his activities, shared several pictures, and made sure he was well looked after. She also took good care of our home, which we really appreciated. We’d be happy to book her again in the future and would recommend her to others looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
“Nick took wonderful care of my kitty Puffin McStuffin. Puffin broke out of the house as he tends to do and Nick kept a close eye to make sure he came back and then made sure it wouldn’t happen again. He also played, fed, and cuddled Puffin McStuffin and even coaxed him out from under the bed when he was hiding. Bonus he also brought my packages inside! Will be booking again for house sitting.”
“Robyn is awesome! She recently stayed overnight with our new puppy, Gypsy. She even came over a few days before to meet Gypsy beforehand to calm our nerves (we were a little bit nervous!). She took pictures, sent text messages, played with Gypsy, and kept careful watch over our little fur baby. Gypsy was so excited and happy when we came home, which indicates that she had a blast. We will definitely be asking Robyn to watch Gypsy again!”

Wonderful pet care! Darlene is as good with the owners as she is with their fur-babies. The care provided left us feeling confident that our little doggos were in good hands. We really appreciate you, Darlene and hope we can have you back to look after the boys again in the future! Thank you!
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!
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.
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Midway City is $63 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $92 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 10,326 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
