“Booked a trial visit with Amy before our long trip away. This will be the first time our cat will be on his own as he always had his brother for company before. Amy was great. Came a few days before to collect the keys and meet our cat. Visit seemed to go well and got sent photos. Have already booked again for a long day trip we have planned.”

About: Hi, I’m Gavin. I’m a caring and responsible pet sitter based in Bonnyrigg. I work part-time from home, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pet the attention they deserve. I live in a detached house with my own secure, fenced garden – perfect for playtime and safe outdoor breaks. I share my home with my friendly 2-year-old German Shepherd, who loves company and enjoys making new dog friends. My love for animals started early – as a teenager, I raised two cats and cared for them throughout their lives. That experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand different pet personalities. Now, I’m confident caring for both dogs and cats, from playful pups and kittens to seniors who need gentler care. I’ll treat them like family. I work part-time from home, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pet the attention they deserve.

About: I’ve always grown up with dogs since I was around 9 years old. Myself and my partner are not in a current position to buy a dog so happy to help out other families where we can! We love dogs of all ages and sizes and we are super outdoorsy so can do long walks and adventures if required 😄 We are available every weekend for plenty of dog play and we work from home Mon/fri so can account for long weekends and long walks on lunch breaks and pottering around :) our priority is the safety and wellbeing of a pet! We have a fenced garden with no other pets. The home is set up to be safe and friendly for any pet coming and want them to be comfortable! We currently have no other pets so attention is all on them :)

About: For around five years, I’ve regularly looked after dogs of all different sizes, as well as having my own dog for the past four years. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and dogs who can be a little anxious or need some extra patience and reassurance. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits and doggy day care. As I work from home, dogs staying with me won’t be left on their own. My home has plenty of space and a secure garden, giving them lots of room to relax, play and feel comfortable. Getting to know each dog’s personality is something I really enjoy, and I always want them to feel happy, settled and well cared for. I’d love to get to know your dog and make them feel at home while they’re in my care! I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day and can give your dog lots of attention, walks and playtime. I can be flexible with doggy day care, walks and drop-in visits, and dogs staying with me won’t be left on their own. I have a secure home and garden with plenty of space for dogs to play and relax. My own dog is very friendly, although a little shy at first, and is used to having other dogs around. I’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine and any instructions you give me so they feel as settled and comfortable as possible.

“Matthew was just brilliant with our 2 cats. He seemed to strike a real bond with them and puts a lot of care into what he does. That shone through in the pictures and detailed updates he sent us. We’re delighted and so relieved our cats were in safe hands and will absolutely go straight to Matthew again in the hope he’s available to look after our girls when we go a trip away next. 5*+!”

“We’re really happy with how well Rhianna looked after our boy Pecorino. He’s very shy around new humans, but she was very patient, gave him the time and space he needed. She followed all instructions and even took in a few unexpected parcels for us! We fully expected to come home to an annoyed Pecorino for leaving him, but instead we came back to a very happy boy who was pleased to see us — always a good sign! We’d happily have her look after Pecorino again. Thank you for taking such good care of him!”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and grew up with a family dog from the time I was 8 into adulthood. I developed a love for caring for his needs, which lead to becoming passionate and taking initiative about his training. The more involved I was, the more I wanted to learn and deepen my understanding and care for animals, from bathing, training, different breeds and their behaviours, and overall care. Over the years, I’ve looked after a wide variety of pets for friends and family, from playful puppies to senior companions. In 2019, my husband and I welcomed an elderly dog with high anxiety and specific dietary needs, and we were able to give him lots of love, comfort, patience, and stability during his final years. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I truly enjoy giving them the love and attention that helps them feel safe and happy while their people are away. If that means long walks, playtime, sticking to special routines, or simply offering quiet companionship, I adapt my care to what each pet needs most. I’m reliable, detail oriented, and will always treat your pets like members of my own family. I also know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos to keep you connected. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. As a full-time homemaker, I have the flexibility to give your pet plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the week and weekends. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, so you can feel confident they’ll have company and comfort while you’re away. I have a secure, fully fenced back garden where dogs can safely play and relax. Our home is calm, comfortable, and family orientated. We have a gentle 6 year old child who has grown up learning how to be kind and respectful to animals. We’re lucky to have beautiful walking paths, forest trails, and safe ‘off-lead’ areas nearby, perfect for exercise and adventure, depending on your dog’s comfort and recall. I also have a car and am happy to drive for walks or home visits, so your pet can enjoy a change of scenery or a favourite spot. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine, making sure they feel settled, safe, and loved whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them in their own home.

About: We’re a dog-loving family offering short-term dog sitting in a safe, fun, and loving environment. As former dog owners, we have plenty of experience and love taking long walks to ensure your dog stays active and happy. While we don’t have our own pets due to work commitments, we absolutely adore dogs and would love to welcome yours for a short stay. Our young child is especially excited to have a furry friend to play with and shower with attention. Rest assured, your dog will feel like part of the family during their time with us. As myself and my partner both work full-time, our availability is primarily during evenings and weekends. However, my partner has the flexibility to work from home, allowing us to accommodate day-care, boarding, pick-ups and drop-offs to better fit your needs. Myself and my partner care for pets in our home by providing a safe and comfortable environment where they can feel at ease. Our house is all on one level with no stairs, making it easy for pets to move around freely. We have a large, secure enclosed back garden with high fences, allowing for safe outdoor time. Pets have free roaming access to the entire house, ensuring they feel like part of the family. We're also happy to follow any specific instructions or unique requirements your pet may have. Additionally, we offer plenty of local on-lead walks to keep your pet active and happy.

About: I have five cats of my own, so caring for pets is a big part of my everyday life. They’re all boys and all very different, so I’m used to different personalities, routines, and giving each pet the care and attention they need. I’m comfortable with automatic litter boxes, pet feeders, and water fountains, and I know how important it is to keep everything clean, topped up, and running properly. Looking after my own cats has made me patient, reliable, and very aware of the little things that help pets feel safe, settled, and cared for while you’re away. I work part-time from home and study Law full-time at Edinburgh Napier, so I’m used to managing my time well and have a fairly flexible schedule. I also have my own car, which means I can be flexible with travel and visit times. I have five cats of my own, so caring for pets is part of my everyday routine. At home, I use fully automatic litter trays and clean them daily, including emptying waste, topping up litter, checking the app, and cleaning the sensors to make sure everything is running properly. I also use automatic water fountains and feeders, so I’m used to topping up water regularly (especially with five boys who drink a lot), keeping everything clean, and making sure food is given on a set schedule with the right portion sizes—not too much and not too little. In a pet owner’s home, I’d follow the same level of care and attention, keeping everything clean, consistent, and comfortable for your pet.

My home is safe and pet‑friendly. I will closely watch over your pet and strictly follow all your care instructions. I will send regular photo updates to you, and keep the living space calm and comfortable for them during their stay.

About: I have grown up with dogs from birth ranging from Jack Russell and German shepherds to rottweilers and now I have a french bulldog. I have 20 years of experience, including medical treatment etc. Looking to make my evening and weekend walks more entertaining by walking a friendly canine at the same time. Often take walks in big parks, on the pentlands or at the beach and also have an SUV to accommodate any breed. I work hybrid and mainly from home so have loads of availability especially evenings and weekends. Love the fresh air and taking a walk. Have no issues with horrid weather either as somebody whom has worked outside often. We have no fence in the garden so therefore have more walks with our dog. Playtime is always available. Can bath if needed and make whatever food required.

Amelia was fantastic with my cat who is admittedly a big floofy handful who needs daily brushing and attention! I came home to a very happy purring cat and especially appreciated the daily photos and videos to see what antics she got up to while I was away.

Michele is an excellent cat sitter, I was away for 14 days and Michele made me feel my cats were in good hands from day 1, the cats also seemed to enjoy her company aswell as they were nice and calm when I came home and one of them was even going in for cuddles with her😺 Michele also sends pics and updates every visit, would definitely recommend if anyone is going on holiday for a week or two.

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting – Midlothian

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Midlothian on Rover is £14 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £12 and £21 per Visit.

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 1,792 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across the city of Midlothian. About 84% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

Yes. There are up to 1,792 pet sitters offering care in and around Midlothian. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.

Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.

You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.

Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.

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 must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.

Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've 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're 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'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer 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-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 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 booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
