“Ray was house/pet sitting for me for over two weeks. She consistently updated me about my pup, sent pics and made me feel reassured that she is doing well. She left my place clean and tidy. I will keep Ray as my primary caretaker for any future situations.”
“This is Sarah’s second stay with our senior dog. Ness was happy and healthy, and Sarah left our place tidy and also brought in packages for us! Definitely booking her again for our next trip!”
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.
“Forest did an amazing job caring for Belle, our 9 year old pocket pit, Sadie, our bearded dragon, and our home for two weeks. We were able to enjoy our trip to Greece without having to worry about things at home. Forest quickly won Belle over with ball play, evening walks (Belle can be reactive on leash) and lots of pets. We will be calling on Forest again and I highly recommend!!!”
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 have practice Monday-Friday from 7-11AM, and class until 2PM. I am available Monday-Friday from 3PM-10PM!

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.
“Vivian has been the best sitter thus far. She kept me updated every several hours with photos. Not once did I need to question how my dog was doing or if Vivian was with her. Very impressed with service received and would highly recommend. Thank you, Vivian.”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I know every pet has unique needs, so I carefully follow each owner’s instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, allergies, medications, approved treats, exercise needs, and any special care your pet requires. I also provide light grooming, such as brushing, wiping paws, and basic coat care when requested. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and compassionate care. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I have an open schedule, I’m available to take care of your pets from morning till evening, overnight or multiple nights, I can board or go to your home to board. I follow home owners instructions or requests, if there’s none I keep your pet company all day, I’ll start by making sure your pets are familiar with me, depending on your pets behavior I’ll prepare food, snacks, water, snacks, bath (if needed),walks every 2-4 hours, playtime with toys, crating if necessary, and helping pets fall asleep.
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.
“Denise provided excellent care for my two high-energy Aussies in my home. They instantly loved her, and my female Aussie doesn't usually care for anyone other than me. I highly recommend Denise's in-home dog-sitting service!”
“Kat is absolutely lovely, from the minute she walked in for the pup meet and greet I instantly felt at ease with leaving my dog and house in her care. She has a very calm demeanor that had my hyperactive Great Dane sitting at her feet begging for love. During her stay she gave detailed updates, pictures and left the house in excellent condition. I would happily have her stay again!”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“Jade took great care of our senior GSD for 6 days. She communicated with us about Buzo's feeding schedule and made sure that he's fed on time. I'd highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. :)”
About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely understands that your dog isn’t “just a pet” they’re family, routine, and emotional security all in one. I specialize in safe, structured, and attentive walks that match your dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog is high energy and needs to burn it out, or more relaxed and prefers a slower pace, I adjust every walk accordingly. I’m extremely reliable, communicative, and detail-focused meaning you’ll always know: When your dog was walked How they behaved Any changes I notice (energy, mood, appetite, etc.) I don’t just “walk dogs.” I observe, adapt, and care — so you can feel fully at ease while you’re away. Comfortable with different temperaments (shy, reactive, high-energy) Strong attention to safety (leash control, surroundings, consistency) Respect your routines and instructions exactly Quick updates + photos after walks Calm, patient, and dependable energy I understand that hiring someone for your dog requires trust, not just availability. My goal is to become someone both you and your dog feel comfortable with long-term not just a one-time walker. If you’re looking for someone who is consistent, attentive, and genuinely cares about your dog’s well-being, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m happy to meet and make sure it’s the right fit. Hiring a pet sitter you trust that your dog loves only to lose or see they are overbooked is annoying. I run my own business so I have a lot of availability and reliability. I currently own my own sound healing and reiki business and I make candles and oils and I work from home. I also do part time web design. I am responsible, detail oriented and I will prioritize your pets safety at all times and provide pictures and transparency. I am a great communicator and will make sure your pet feels safe & cared for.
“Nadine provided excellent care (and exercise) for both our pups. We arrived from a week away with a clean house, happy dogs and received plenty of photo updates while away. Thanks so much!”
“Alexa was great! She was very communicative before meeting her as well as during the time she was caring for our dog. She sent detailed updates of how she cared for our dog and sent several pictures daily. Our dog actually seem to be better on leash walking without pulling after we got back home:) In addition to taking great care of our dog, she took great care of our plants and our house. We would not hesitate to reach out to her again if the need arrises. We highly recommend Alexa if you need a trusted/reliable care giver for your pet. Thanks Alexa!”
About: For how precious they are, my clients deserve the best! From puppies to seniors I've had the joy of caring for them all: potty training to administering medication, encouraging picky eaters to keeping an eye on over eaters, and ones that need more play while others more cuddles, I'm ready to accommodate each little friend personally. You can enjoy your vacation with peace of mind that their comfort and safety are my top priority. Along with the best, nutrition is also a major part of their happiness and longevity just like us. In my care, if you so desire, fresh meals will be prepared for them. So even though they don’t get to come along on the vacation, at least they’ll get a taste of it at home. Vacation guilt-free 😉 If you're ready to spoil your baby with someone you can trust then gift them by booking confidently with yours truly. My work is flexible and can often be done online which allows me to often be home with the animals to keep them company for play, walk, and care. While your little angel is in my care, your preference will be followed meticulously. They will have both nanny and guardian by their side. I'm constantly watching and scouting steps ahead for potential hazards like nearby dogs, small children, and overgrown bushes known to hide coyotes.

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

FAQs for House Sitting - Midway City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Midway City is $63 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 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 November 2026, there are 10,278 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Midway City. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
