About: I have always had lots of pets around me and I understand the great impact they can have on your life, and the worries that can come with letting others care for them- I ensure that you feel comfortable leaving your pet with me. A pet's regular routine can be so important for them to feel stimulated and cared for, so I make sure to collect thorough detail from you so I can provide the right care for your best friend. I have experience with high energy dogs, older dogs, and anxious dogs. And know how important it is to build a good trusting relationship with any pet. I have taken part in some dog first aid training whilst volunteering with STAFA. Good pet care is well informed; I listen to your and your pets needs! I am currently studying with supplemental work so have a changing schedule with some flexibility. I am happy to discuss how we can fit your needs and schedule in with my own. I am often able to accommodate a range of availability, with notice, and depending on the care needs of you pup. I will ensure that I discuss your expectations and regular routine for your pup beforehand, to ensure that they are provided all the care they need and to help you feel they are in safe hands. I will provide regular updates so you can know for sure your loved one is okay. There is no question too big or small, so please ask me anything!
“Perfect experience with Steph from start to finish. She was communicative, friendly, and immediately connected with Penny. I had total peace of mind that my little madam was well looked-after - regular updates with pics, plenty of playtime and enrichment. Returned to a clean home, thoughtful gifts, and a happy cat. Will definitely book again!”
“Naomi did drop in visit to our dog, Reilly. Everything went well. Naomi communicated well and Reilly was happy with the visit. We will be contacting her again in the future.”
“Laura has looked after our 15 week old puppy Roxy twice now and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again! It was clear from the first meet how much she genuinely loves dogs. Roxy was really well looked after and we had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We highly recommend Laura and will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I used to be a vet student and have experience working with everything between day old puppies to geriatric dogs, I’ve grown up with dogs so know all the best walking routes! Currently unemployed and just finished up uni for the summer. I’m super active and I’m looking to offer some help anytime I can. I’m super clean and will always respect your personal preferences when it comes to caring for your pets. I love walks of any distance and am always keen for some play time!
“Emma was warm and friendly, and were super with our two cats. She provided regular updates and pictures that let us know how they were getting on, and they always looked relaxed and comfortable. Definitely would recommend Emma, thank you so much!”
“Annie has been absolutely fantastic with our dog Jazz. Jazz is quite shy and anxious about new people, but Annie has been so patient and gentle with her, she’s really taken the time to build up trust with Jazz. Annie is always very responsive, and gives detailed updates about her visits. We’ll definitely trust Annie to look after Jazz again.”
“Elmira has looked after my shy elderly cat Maffia twice so far for 3-4 days each time. She was very reliable and easy to communicate with. My cat takes longer to get used to a new person and needs her space respected. Elmira was really good with understanding my cat’s needs and took great care of her. I’d recommend her without hesitation. ”

Helena was fantastic. This was our first time both using Cat in a Flat and booking Helena to look after our cat Missy, so I was understandably nervous but Helena really put me at ease. Helena followed our instructions with love and care, and we came home to a calm and happy cat. We highly recommend her, and would love to book her again for our future holidays!
Ceci looked after my cat Charley for 2 weeks. She was great with him and sent me updates with photos every day. Charley looked happy and healthy and enjoyed playing time with Ceci. I will definitely recommend her service and book her again. She also watered my plants. Thank you very much Ceci from me and Charley! 😻

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Midlothian on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 667 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Midlothian. About 93% of Midlothian sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, 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 key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
