“Nikki was absolutely wonderful with my kitty! She took such great care of her, making sure she was fed, played with, and received all of her medications. I especially appreciated how attentive and gentle she was, and how she kept me updated every day with pictures. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my kitty was in such caring hands while I was away. Nikki was reliable, kind, and truly went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: Hi there 🐾 I’m Meghna, a local dog lover and pet sitter who genuinely enjoys hanging out with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfy, and cared for while you’re away. A calm, home-style environment is provided with walks, attention, and care tailored to each dog’s routine. Usual schedules are followed so dogs can settle in easily and feel comfortable throughout the day. Each dog is looked after with patience and genuine care, based on their personality and what they need — whether that’s space, playtime, or extra cuddles. Can’t wait to meet them 🐶✨ Here for walks, stays, and everything in between. As a responsible pet caregiver, I prioritize their well-being in my daily routine. This includes regular feeding schedules, consistent exercise through walks or play, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. Additionally, I allocate time for training and mental stimulation to keep them engaged. Adapting my routine to their specific needs fosters a strong bond and ensures their happiness and health. I live in a townhome with my husband, and we both work from home, so your pet will have plenty of supervision and attention throughout the day. We also have a very friendly dog who’s well-socialized and used to being around other pets. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure your furry baby feels right at home. (My dog says hi! 🐾)

About: Hi! We’re Hemmy & Gillian, an animal-loving couple who’ve always had a genuine love for animals, and caring for pets feels natural to to us. I have hands-on experience looking after dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from playful puppies to calm senior dogs. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, basic training reinforcement, administering simple medications, and making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. My boyfriend and I treat every pet as if they were our own and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, fetch, or just quiet companionship, we’re happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always our top priority—and we can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐶🐱 I’m 25, currently working as an admin assistant and running a small business making candles! Hemmy works full-time in aviation and is in the CAF so he will be on weekend bookings only. My mom stays with my dogs during the day at the moment but I am trying to change that and walk my own dogs and other dogs more! If you are looking for someone to put their all into taking care of your pets, that would be us! We are probably some of the most animal-loving people you will ever meet. We would love nothing more than to give your furry friends the nice, fun walks and genuine care they need!

About: I have experience with fostering dogs that come in different shapes, sizes and temperaments. I have had the opportunity to learn about dogs in a very short span of time. I have the patience and the ability to help a dog in need. I have the flexibility of working in a hybrid setting. I usually take my fosters for a walk 3 times a day and squeeze in a 40 minute exercise routine on a regular basis. I keep a close eye on the pets in my home. I keep anything they can swallow out of reach. I provide them with chew toys, frozen foods and puzzles to keep them occupied and mentally stimulate them when I am not able to physically take them outside for exercise. I believe animals need to be continuously engaged, at least while they are awake.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for them. Growing up with five family dogs, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience providing love, exercise, and daily care. While attending university, my roommates and I rescued a senior stray cat and ensured he received the veterinary care and loving home he needed. My best friend and I also adopted a rescue dog with behavioural challenges, and through patience, consistency, and understanding, we helped him build trust and significantly improve his behaviour. I currently help care for our two family poodles and my boyfriend’s cat. With over 20 years of experience caring for animals of different ages, personalities, and needs, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own! I work full-time Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with every other Friday off. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting outside of my regular working hours, including evenings, weekends, and my scheduled Fridays off. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and am happy to coordinate care around your pet’s routine. For house sitting, I can provide overnight companionship and care while maintaining my regular work schedule. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs to make sure we’re a great fit! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! Having grown up caring for animals and currently sharing responsibility for two family poodles, I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I provide care in your pet’s familiar home environment, following their usual feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual personality, comfort level, and needs, and always approach pets with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. I also respect your home and will treat both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away!

About: I have had an Australian shepherd and border collie mix for about 4.5 years. He gave me a lot of experience in working with large, energetic and hyperactive breeds. I work part time! I am typically available all day Monday + Tuesday, Wednesday morning/afternoon & Friday morning/afternoon. Weekends vary, but typically I am available after 6! I have a fenced yard, but also are careful not to keep toxic items for dogs laying around. I take precautions with foods that can be dangerous for dogs and though he no longer eats non-food items, I was quite vigilant when he was a puppy as he would try to eat shoes etc.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I previously cared for my Bedlington Terrier for five years, and I currently have a British Shorthair at home. Having lived with both dogs and cats has helped me understand how different their personalities, routines, and needs can be. Dogs may need more active interaction, walks, play, and companionship, while cats often need patience, consistency, and respect for their personal space. I am responsible, patient, observant, and detail-oriented. I am comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, companionship, and following detailed care instructions. I also pay attention to changes in appetite, behaviour, energy level, or anything that seems unusual. Most importantly, I try to care for each pet according to their own personality and routine rather than assuming every animal wants the same kind of attention. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to fit pet-care visits into my daily routine. Depending on availability, I can provide morning, daytime, or evening drop-in visits. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I will do my best to follow their normal feeding, walking, play, and care routines. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and respect both the pet and the home environment. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, food and water are provided as requested, and the pet’s space is kept clean. During each visit, I pay attention to behaviour, appetite, energy level, and anything unusual. I’m also happy to send photos and updates after visits so pet parents can feel confident that their pet is safe and comfortable while they are away.

About: I genuinely love animals and would be happy to give your dog plenty of attention, companionship, walks, and care. I previously worked at an animal shelter in the education sector, where I spent time around and worked with many different types of animals. I currently work as a respite and skill builder supporting adults with special needs, so I’m very comfortable being responsible, attentive, and respectful in people’s homes. I also have plenty of experience with dogs in everyday life. I currently live with my roommate’s dog, have lived with dogs with previous roommates, and have helped care for friends’ and family members’ pets and homes while they were away. I’m also an experienced traveler and have used TrustedHousesitters myself, caring for people’s pets while staying in their homes. I’ve also stayed in 25 five-star Airbnb homes while traveling, which has taught me to be exceptionally clean, considerate, and respectful of other people’s spaces. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, companionship, a consistent routine, or simply someone dependable around while you’re away, I’d love to help. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re gone. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because my schedule is flexible. I work as a respite worker, with my most consistent hours generally being from 3–7 p.m., so I’m usually available during the mornings and earlier parts of the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, and spending time with pets. I also work as a singer, but those jobs are usually one-off bookings that I know about in advance. I have a few regular commitments, including Thursday evenings and some Sunday mornings, but otherwise my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility. Because I work with clients in their homes, I’m already comfortable building my day around someone else’s needs and routines. I’m responsible about keeping track of my commitments and would always make sure I have plenty of time and availability to give your pet the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I take the time to learn their feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, favorite activities, and any specific instructions you leave for me. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, meals, fresh water, companionship, and whatever other care your pet needs. Because I work with clients in their homes, I’m already comfortable building my day around someone else’s needs and routines. I’m respectful of people’s homes and understand the importance of keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. I’m responsible about keeping track of my commitments and would always make sure I have plenty of time and availability to give your pet the attention and care they need. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, while giving you peace of mind that both your pet and home are in good hands.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was five years old and truly can’t remember a time when dogs weren’t part of my life! I also helped my mom with her in-home dog boarding service, which has given me experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from puppies under a year old and dogs who aren’t crate trained to seniors who need extra hands-on care. I have experience giving medications, helping senior dogs up and down stairs or furniture, and using a wagon when walks are no longer comfortable. I’ve also cared for reactive dogs and understand the importance of patience, boundaries, and following each dog’s individual routine. We’re huge animal lovers in our home, and pets are treated like part of the family. Dogs are welcome to get comfortable, roam freely, play, relax, and receive plenty of attention and affection. I’m very comfortable adapting to different needs and personalities and want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and at home. I am a student with an flexible schedule, who is open most weekdays during the day to come and check in on your furry friends, walk them, take them to the park, etc. When I have pets in the home, they are the priority always. My day is scheduled around taking them out, play time, walks and treats. If I have to step out, I like to leave the TV on for them to feel calm. I enjoy taking dogs with me to the park, the Pet Store, or even other dog friendly stores like Canadian Tire/Home Depot. Pets are curious and should explore all day! At home, we treat all pets like our own allowing them to roam and as they please and hang in our fenced yard. At your home, I would follow any and all rules you implement, and ensure that I am constantly changing water, taking our furry friends outside, and keeping them entertained with toys and games.

About: What sets my husband and I apart as dog sitters is the love, experience, and attention we bring to every pup in our care. We have a rescue dog of our own, so we understand how important it is to leave your furry family member with people you can trust. We also regularly care for our family’s senior dog (who does not live with us), giving us experience with pups who need a little extra patience, comfort, and attention. Our goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while they’re with us! My husband works from home, this allows for someone to always be around throughout the day to provide companionship, potty breaks, play, cuddles, and supervision. We have a fenced yard to allow for safe outdoor play. We have a friendly dog for a fellow canine companion. We also have a crate, if needed, to let your dog have a safe space/den to decompress in.

For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening.

While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes.

About: I'm a passionate dog lover ready to give your furry family member the attentive, nurturing care they deserve. Dogs have taught me so much about patience and unconditional love, and I'm excited to extend that same devotion to your pet. I treat every dog like family, and I'd be honoured to be your trusted "aunty" while you're away! I am currently working remotely and have a flexible work schedule so I am available 7 days a week at different times. Contact me to coordinate! I believe every dog is unique, and I take time to understand their individual needs and personality. My experience caring for a bully breed with severe separation anxiety taught me the importance of patience, emotional attunement, and creating a sense of safety. When I'm in your home, I maintain your pet's routine while providing extra comfort and reassurance—especially if they struggle when you're away. I communicate love through gentle affection, eye contact, and consistent presence so your pup knows they're in caring hands.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Milton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Milton is $25 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 per visit. 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.

There are 6,546 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Milton. About 86% of Milton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage 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.

Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.

Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.

For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Milton 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!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.

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.

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.

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.
