“Erica was fantastic with our two miniature wires hair dachshunds. She stayed at the home and kept our dogs company while we were away over the Thanksgiving week. She kept us updated through the week and took them for walks. We highly recommend her.”
“Dominique went above and beyond with Finley! Dominique graciously fixed an issue caused by a previous sitter, where Finley suffered from heightened anxiety and allergies. Dominique ensured Finley was given his medications appropriately, so he could heal and relax. She also kept me informed of his progress, so I wasn’t worried about him. Thank you Dominique for taking such good care of Finley!!”
“Five stars is not enough for the incredible care our two fur babies received from Catherine K.! From start to finish, Catherine was exceptionally professional and made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was outstanding, providing us with regular updates and wonderful photos that kept our minds at total ease while we were away. It was clear from the moment she took over that our cats were in safe, highly capable, and loving hands. Catherine went above and beyond to maintain their daily routines and allowed them their space to become comfortable with her. If you want absolute peace of mind and a sitter who treats your pets like family, look no further than Catherine K. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Christopher was fantastic. He helped us with so much more than just our pets after just moving to the area. He was extremely accommodating of our last minute request, and kept us updated throughout the stay. Glad to have found him.”
“Shaun did an amazing job! He followed all of our directions, kept us updated, and took great care of Lex while we were away. Lex was very happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we got home. We really appreciated the attention and care he gave our dog and home. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

I currently work full-time for the Marine Corps Monday through Friday 7 AM to 4 PM, but I can come to your home during my lunch break for potty breaks as required. Weekends of course I am totally available. I will care for your pets in your home where they feel comfortable and safe.

About: I adore animals, and have sat for both dogs and cats for almost two years. I also have a dog of my own—a pitbull terrier rescue named Anne. I'm willing to adapt to your pet's routines and drop by as many times as requested, or house sit if preferred. I've walked dogs big and small, and am capable of handling some pulling on walks. I am also capable of taking care of multiple pets at once, as well as managing medications and varying dietary requirements. I am a part time college student at Germanna, so I have relatively open availability and can base my own schedule around your pets' needs. I adhere to whatever routine or house rules I am given. I can stay and play with the pets to ensure that they don't get bored out of their minds, and visit at least a few times a day. For pets that stay kenneled between visits, I especially ensure that I spend plenty of time with them while I am there so they won't be cooped up. While outside or on walks, I make sure your pets are properly supervised and am attentive to my surroundings so that your pets stay safe. I can also give photo updates, so that you can see your pets are safe and happy :)

About: Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals, and caring for them quickly became second nature to me. From a young age, I took on the responsibility of making sure my pets were happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Whether it was feeding, grooming, training, or simply spending quality time with them, I always put my heart into making sure they felt loved and safe. Grooming & Hygiene Keeping my pets clean and well-groomed has always been a top priority. I’ve had plenty of experience brushing fur to prevent tangles, bathing dogs with pet-safe shampoos, trimming nails, and making sure their ears and teeth stay clean. I know how important regular grooming is—not just for a pet’s appearance, but for their overall health and comfort. Cleaning & Maintaining a Healthy Environment A clean space means a happy and healthy pet, so I’ve always been diligent about keeping my pets’ living areas tidy. Whether it’s scooping litter boxes, cleaning up fur, washing food and water bowls, or making sure their bedding is fresh and comfortable, I make sure they have a safe and sanitary space to live in. Training & Teaching Fun Tricks One of my favorite things about working with animals is training them. I love using positive reinforcement to teach cool tricks, from basic commands like sit and stay to more advanced skills like opening doors. I enjoy the challenge of working with different personalities and figuring out the best way to engage them in learning. I’ve also successfully potty trained puppies, using patience, consistency, and positive rewards to help them develop good habits. Personalized Pet Care Every pet is different, and I’ve always made it a priority to understand their unique personalities and needs. Some animals are energetic and love to run and play, while others are more relaxed and enjoy cuddle time. I make sure to cater to each pet’s preferences, providing the right balance of exercise, attention, and affection to keep them happy and comfortable. Patience & A Positive Attitude Caring for animals takes patience, and that’s something I have in abundance. Whether I’m working with a shy pet who needs time to warm up, a playful puppy full of energy, or a senior pet who needs extra care, I approach every situation with kindness and understanding. My bubbly and happy personality helps pets feel at ease, and I love creating a positive, loving environment for them. A Lifelong Love for Animals Because I grew up with pets, taking care of them isn’t just something I do—it’s a part of who I am. My experience with grooming, cleaning, training, and overall pet care has given me the skills and knowledge to ensure that every animal I look after feels safe, loved, and well cared for. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a happy, healthy pet, and I take pride in providing the best care possible for every furry friend in my life. I currently just moved to Richmond, Va with my fiancé. I do not currently have a job but I am looking to school to be a veterinarian. I am currently free a lot of the times. Sure! Here’s a detailed first-person summary of how you would take care of your clients’ pets: ⸻ Taking care of my clients’ pets is more than just a job—it’s a passion. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. Daily Routine & Care Every pet has unique needs, and I tailor my care to each one accordingly. I begin by getting to know the pet’s personality, preferences, and any specific instructions from their owner. Feeding & Hydration I make sure pets are fed according to their specific dietary requirements, whether it’s dry kibble, wet food, or a raw diet. I pay close attention to portion sizes and feeding schedules to maintain their health and energy levels. Fresh water is always available, and I make sure to clean food and water bowls regularly to keep everything hygienic. Grooming & Hygiene Grooming is an essential part of a pet’s well-being. I brush their fur to keep it clean and free from tangles, especially for breeds that require frequent upkeep. If needed, I also provide baths using pet-safe shampoos, making sure to dry them thoroughly to avoid discomfort. Nail trimming, ear cleaning, and brushing their teeth are also part of my routine to ensure they stay healthy from head to tail. Bathroom Breaks & Cleaning For dogs, I take them out for regular bathroom breaks, following their usual schedule to prevent accidents and ensure their comfort. For cats, I scoop the litter box daily, replacing litter as needed to keep their space fresh and odor-free. Any pet messes, whether accidents or shedding, are promptly cleaned to maintain a clean and comfortable environment. Exercise & Playtime Physical activity is vital for a pet’s happiness and health. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a game of fetch, or interactive play with their favorite toys. I adjust activities based on the pet’s age and energy level, ensuring they get the right balance of movement and stimulation. Cuddling & Social Interaction Beyond basic care, I provide plenty of love and affection. If a pet enjoys snuggles, I’m more than happy to have cuddle sessions to make them feel secure and cherished. For pets who prefer space, I respect their boundaries while still giving them companionship in a way they’re comfortable with. Special Care & Medication If a pet has any special needs, I ensure they receive the proper attention. This includes administering medications, following specific health protocols, or providing extra care for senior pets. I carefully follow any instructions given by the owner to make sure their pet’s health is always a priority. Going the Extra Mile I believe in treating pets like family, which means going beyond the basics. I send regular updates to owners with pictures and details about their pet’s day. I make sure to monitor their behavior for any signs of distress or illness and notify the owner immediately if anything seems off. At the heart of my work is a genuine love for animals. Whether it’s keeping them active, maintaining their hygiene, or simply giving them the attention they need, I ensure every pet in my care feels happy, comfortable, and loved. Would you like me to personalize this further for specific services you offer?

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was absolutely wonderful with my puppy and stayed with her throughout the entire day. She was very attentive, caring, and made sure my puppy was comfortable and well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my puppy was in such good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur baby. I will absolutely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️
Abby was a life saver for us. We usually use family to help with our pets so using someone not family brought me a level of anxiety i wasn’t ready for. First impression of Abby was professional and prompt. The animals Immediately loved her and she asked all the right questions to ease this fur mom’s anxiety. Having her able to stay at our home was added peace of mind. We came home to happy pets and a clean home. I’m so thankful to have found Abby.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Midway Island is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $78 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.

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 Island 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 Island 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 Island 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.
