“"We cannot thank Xenia enough for looking after our puppy, Truffle! Since Truffle is still very young and only partially vaccinated, we were naturally a bit anxious, but Xenia was incredibly caring, cautious, and accommodating of all our specific routine needs. She also did a fantastic job helping with his crate training while we were away, showing real expertise and patience. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely loving to care for your pup, we highly recommend Xenia!"”
“Lorin is amazing. We are going away again for a longer trip and wanted to do a practise before. The dogs were so happy in the pictures she sent and when we got back it was clear they had been very well taken care of. Both need a little extra assistance from most dogs and she used our instructions to a T! Thanks again Lorin!”
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.
“Heather was amazing! It was our families first time booking a house/pet sitter for our dogs outside of family and our first time leaving one of our dogs. Not only did Heather come and do a pre-visit but was beyond amazing with both my dogs. She sent photos and updates the week we were away and it was abundantly clear both my dogs adored her. She also managed workers that needed to come to my home due to a leak right before our trip which was a huge relief. Definitely recommend Heather to anyone! We will for sure be booking her again in the future.”
“Ethan was an excellent sitter for our dog while we were out of town!! He responded quickly to messages and handled a last-minute booking change with ease. He kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind :)”
About: I’m retired and able to offer consistent, reliable care without a rushed schedule. I’ve looked after dogs (under 40 pounds, small to medium) 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. I feel it's very important for dogs to have their walks and daily exercise. I am available to walk dogs up to 40 lbs. 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.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our 2 dogs than Sarah! From the moment she arrived, we felt completely confident that our dogs were in great hands. She kept us updated throughout our time away and sent us lots of pictures. When we got back, the house was spotless, and most importantly, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. It was obvious that Sarah gave them lots of love and attention while we were away. She genuinely cares about dogs and making sure they have the best time while we are away! We will definitely be using her again.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Paige was such a great sitter for Paco! She was absolutely professional and so easy to communicate with beforehand and during our time away. Paco loved her and it helped put our mind at ease. Would book her 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! 🐾”
“Jeff was great, very accommodating and took great care of our dog George. He was very quick to respond and sent us some incredible portrait photos of George. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“I can’t recommend Lidiane enough. She took great care of my pets and I was able to really enjoy my vacation knowing they were comfortable in their own house. You can tell she loves both cats and dogs. She would send us regular updates and pictures. I am very glad I found her and will definitely use her again next time I need a pet sitter.”

About: IG: Lady.rav | FB: Raveen walks dogs - Halton & Area 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.
“Emy was very responsive and accommodating on 4 days notice. I dont need dog sitters too often but when the planned dog sitter backed out last minute, Emy stepped in seamlessly and I didn't need to worry. Maggie loved her :)”
“Alexandra was great with our chocolate lab puppy she loved her and was calm and relaxed the whole stay. She was always punctual and super patient with our high-energy pup. Would definitely recommend.”
“Syd was great watching my dog for the day. This is the first time I’ve left my dog with someone other than family and friends and she warmed up to Syd! She sent updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated, and even cleaned my dogs dishes afterward. My dog was actually sad once she left — a true sign she had a great time. Highly recommend Syd for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Milton
We were thrilled with the care that Jodi gave our pets. We have an elderly border collie that needs special attention and we felt so comfortable with the care our dog received. She kept us informed about their day and even gave the dog and cat little nick names. It meant the world to us to know the pets were in good hands. Dont hesitate to have Jodi tend to your pet.
Marie was wonderful with my husky, Xylo! From the moment I picked him up, he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. She took him on a walk, followed all of my instructions carefully, and kept me updated throughout the evening. It's clear she genuinely cares. I felt completely at ease leaving Xylo with her and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Marie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🩷
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Milton on Rover is $54.52 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,019 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
- 88% 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.
