About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy, whether it's going for long walks, playing, or simply giving them the attention and affection they deserve. Family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats while they're away because they know I'm dependable, responsible, and compassionate. I'm currently studying Zoology, where I'm learning about a wide variety of animals and their behaviour, health, and welfare. My passion for animals is what inspired me to pursue this field, and I can't wait to spend my career caring for them. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I always strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in providing reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. My schedule is extremely open and flexible this summer. I’m currently a dancer teacher and in the summer will only be unavailable a few days each month. I’m also captain of my dance team which also only takes up approximately 4 days each month. Therefore i have love of time available to care for your pets :) When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel secure and reduce stress while their owner is away. I make sure they are always supervised, properly fed, and have fresh water, clean spaces, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I also take care to respect the client’s home, keeping everything tidy and following any specific instructions carefully. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners by providing reliable, responsible, and compassionate care that feels as familiar and safe as possible for the pet.
“An absolute gem! So glad I found her. Rosie and the boys ( Benny and Jet) were so happy to have her looking after them. Very responsible and very kind. I could tell right off she loves her animals. I would use Audrie again in a heart beat.”

With years of experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, i provide safe and reliable dog walking and care services I am available Monday to Friday mornings 9 to 12 or afternoons 1 to 4 for dog walks or quick daytime dog visits to let them out I offer fun, dog walking in your local neighborhood or provide trips to the dog park.

About: IG: Lady.rav Dogs are my happy place — I’ve always felt at home around them. I’ve owned four German Shepherds, all rescues, and have done a mix of personal and professional training with them (including one with dog aggression). Those experiences taught me how to understand dogs deeply, from their body language to the way they respond to human energy. I’m active, love hiking, and think everything is more fun with a four‑legged friend beside me. Dogs usually settle quickly around me and feel comfortable, which makes walks, playtime, and downtime easy and enjoyable. Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or calm structure, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m currently building my consulting business, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility during the week to focus on caring for furry loved ones. On weekends, I volunteer helping abuse survivors move into safe housing during the day, so my evenings remain open and available for walks, drop‑ins, and overnight care. My schedule allows me to be consistently present, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routines closely so your dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and pay close attention to your pet’s body language and needs. I double‑check doors, gates, and safety details, and keep communication open so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is a calm, secure environment where your dog can relax and you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Xenia stayed at our place over the weekend to care for our dog and she was fantastic! She sent us photos and videos throughout the day to keep us updated and was respectful of the space. We’d be happy to have her care for Millie any time :)”
About: I am a caring and compassionate animal lover and have over 10 years of animal care taking under my belt. I have always been my family and friends go to person for a caretaker, dog walker, dog/cat sitter, feeder and or just going to give their fur babies some loving while they are away. I recently completed my Veterinary Assistant course where I can further go into a field that I truly love which is working with animals that give me so much joy. I believe that every animal should be loved and cared for and be treated as their own individual. I am currently just out of my first year of college and off for the summer and extremely excited to have so much time on my hands to play and take care of your adorable pups. For the most part I am pretty flexible with my timings and will work to the best of my abilities to fit your needs. I have one very friendly pup and am very involved with her life I feed her make sure she has adequate water at all times, trained her as a puppy, administer medications as needed at the appropriate timings, walking is frequent, play time is a must with me and light brushing to keep my pup well maintained. Overall the well being of mine and your pets are my top priority and I strive to make each interaction a positive one.
“Jeff cared for our precious boy, Jethro, for 12 days. He was extremely prompt with answering messages and he sent us a bunch of pictures of Jethro each day! He took Jethro to the park every day. Jethro was a very happy and healthy dog when we got home! We can't thank him enough for taking such good care of Jethro. It was peace of mind knowing that Jeff was giving Jethro a similar care as we would give. Thank you soo much, Jeff!! And Jethro thanks you too!”
About: I always enjoy playing with dogs. I grew up with Pugs. I used to work at several vet clinics when I was younger. I always wanted to be a vet but then I couldn’t get over the squeamishness so I shifted to boarding in my personal time. People who know me well would describe me as a great dog lover. As you can see in the photo gallery, I was on Sue Thomas: FBEye as Pam and with Milo the dog actor as Togo. I don't have a backyard but there's a fantastic community park not too far from here. From morning to night, it is all about making sure your furbaby is safe, healthy and happy so you'll feel secure knowing they are in loving care! I have a 4 year old black female Pug who enjoys company too. I take her out 3-4 times a day. She likes to make new furry friends! Spayed and up to date with her vaccinations. A smoke free home. Certified Canine First Aid. I have a private closed balcony. Your dog can chill there and enjoy the view / fresh air / sunlight. For your convenience, I do provide: crate, a huge playpen and… my homemade organic dog treats. If you prefer to bring your own, that’s fine too! Also, I have dog training pads for your furbaby to sleep or rest on. There are several dog parks but this is something you and I can discuss if s/he is compatible. I’m flexible.
“Mark is sensational. We trusted Mark to look after our home and energetic Boxer for 3 weeks and everything went perfectly. Mark was great with our dog and our home was perfect when we returned. His skills with dogs and lovable personality made our pup fall in love with him and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worry. We HIGHLY recommend Mark for any of your pet needs. We also made a friend in the process! ***** 5stars!”
“Anne ! You are Awesome ! You are an Angel ! What an amazing connection you had/have with our Signore Mocha ! He / We LOVED you Right Away ! Your Spirit , Sweet Soul and LOVE for our Puppy put EVERYONE at ease … Keeping us updated with pictures and messages … and keeping company with Nonna ;) You have a GIFT and It’s AMAZING ! We will DEFINITELY be needing your Puppy Powers and can’t wait to SEE you again ! ✨?✨?✨☕️✨??✨?”
“My husband and I are both very happy with the way we found our kids and our home when we returned from our trip. Brianna is a genuine animal lover and did her best to keep the house clean as well. Our 4 puppies were all chunkier then when we left them. We received ample pictures as well. Our dogs have all become very attached to Brianna and we will 100% recommend her services. Will definitely use her services again.”
“We couldn't be happier with the amazing care our dogs Rusty + Tax received! From the moment Yanqi arrived, it was clear she genuinely loves what she does. She seamlessly followed our routine, making sure the pups felt comfortable, safe, and loved throughout our time away. What impressed us most was her attentiveness and communication. She kept us updated throughout the day with adorable pictures and messages, which gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. It's obvious that both Rusty & Tax absolutely adored her... the connection they built was heartwarming to see! She was also incredibly respectful of our home, treating everything with care. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and experienced to look after your furry family member, we highly recommend her without hesitation. We'll definitely be booking her again for future sits! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our pup! 🐾”
About: I’ve spent lots of time with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies to older pets who need extra care. I’m really patient and make sure every pet feels safe and loved while I’m looking after them. I have plenty of available time to watch your pets since I don’t have a job right now. I’ll be starting my summer job soon, and I’ll update my availability once that changes! I make sure pets are safe and comfortable by getting rid of anything that could be dangerous and keeping the place clean. I will also make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and keep an eye on the pets to make sure they’re happy and relaxed. I also like to keep the owner updated so they know that their pet is in good hands.
“Angela went above and beyond in caring for my two cats! She followed directions very well and kept me updated on the cats well-being. She is a great pet sitter and I would recommend her to anyone. I felt safe leaving my cats and apartment in her hands. 20000/10 I recommend!”
About: Hi there! I'm Adela, 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.
“Linda arrived when we agreed and took great care of our pup. She provided real time updates and even shared photos. She left our home clean and followed all care instructions. I would definitely hire her again!”
About: I’m retired and able to offer consistent, reliable care without a rushed schedule. I’ve looked after dogs and homes for friends over the years, including travelling to British Columbia for extended house sitting, so I understand the level of trust involved in leaving both your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I also regularly care for pets in my condo building - neighbours trust me with their keys and rely on me to look after their pets, who are comfortable and familiar with me. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, and keeping things consistent so pets feel settled while you’re away. I pay attention to behaviour, surroundings, and safety on walks, and I don’t take unnecessary risks. You can expect clear communication, dependability, and a calm, steady presence for your pet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m retired, so I have a flexible schedule and can plan my day around walks, visits, and consistent care without rushing. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks or check-ins, and I can adjust timing to match your pet’s usual routine. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide steady attention and not leave pets alone for long periods. Because I’m not balancing another job, I can be reliable with timing, routines, and communication. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their usual routine - walks, feeding times, and any specific instructions you provide. Consistency makes a big difference in reducing stress while you’re away. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things clean and secure. I’m attentive to your pet’s behaviour and surroundings, especially on walks, and I don’t take unnecessary risks. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe environment with plenty of attention and regular outdoor time. I don’t overcrowd or take on more pets than I can properly care for. You’ll receive clear updates so you know how your pet is doing.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Milton is $52
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Milton
Audrie was great! Was the first time using Rover after I started to become uncomfortable leaving my 18 year old cockapoo alone for any extended periods of time. His declining mobility means he can’t always get himself up to standing and needs some help occasionally when he wanders into a corner and can’t figure out how to turn around. Audrie was so sweet with him and I came home to a happy, well cared for and sound asleep puppy! Can’t thank Audrie enough for her kind, responsible and mature approach with caring for Jackson. Would recommend her to anyone.
Marie is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! My anxiety ridden rescue doesn’t like many new people but she loved Marie right away. I loved the pictures and text updates while we were away so I didn’t have to worry how things were going. Marie was responsive while booking and showed up at the house exactly when we agreed she would. Highly recommend her to anyone.
Xinting did an amazing job for my 2 pets Fred & Ella. Arrived on time and took Fred on a walk. Sent me pictures and i can tell Ella ( who has anxiety problem) was very comfortable and even slept on Xining lap. Thank you so much for taking care for both of them. Will definitely book again and your pet will always be in good care with Xingting/
Nicole recently stayed at our house with our two dogs for a week and my dogs absolutely loved her. They were well taken care of and went on exciting new walks. Nicole was very friendly, caring and nurturing and we will look forward to booking her again.
Chantale stayed at our house with our two dogs while we were away for a week. She sent lots of pics - lots of play, snuggles and walks. Dogs seemed to be happy and well cared for when we returned! Would recommend! Thanks Chantale for taking great care of our pups and home while we were away!
Lisa was an amazing dog sitter! She is highly professional and very trustworthy. I felt completely at ease leaving my border collie Gus in her hands because of all of her experience. She provided updates and sent pictures, and thoroughly followed the outline of Gus' daily routine. I highly recommend Lisa, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
Chloe was incredible during her 10-day stay with our Frenchie, Maverick! From the start, communication was so easy and reassuring. Maverick instantly loved her, and we could tell he was in great hands. She went above and beyond, not only did she care for him like her own, but we came back to a spotless house (she even cleaned the bed and bathroom she used!). We were able to truly enjoy our vacation worry-free, and we will definitely be booking with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Milton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Milton on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,101 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Milton. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Milton 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!
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.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 Milton walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 79% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
