“Hope did a great job watching my dog Charlie. She was communicative and gave him a lot of love and special attention. She picked up the booking with only a couple days notice (life saver) and even made time in her day to make sure to give him a walk - even walking him on the day that we got home.”

About: At my house your fur baby(s) will be treated like they are my own! I work at a doggie daycare right near my house, they will get lots of potty breaks and plenty of time to run around and play with my dog or if you prefer they can have one on one. I have a split level with 3 bedrooms so I am very capable of separating dogs from people and other dogs and I’ve worked in daycares where we had to shuffle dogs around due to their preference and needs. My yard is in the process of being fenced (as of August 2020) so I bring dogs to the dog park down the road from my house! For house sitting I am more limited on my schedule as I have my son most of the time except every other weekend. I can do drop ins anytime from 6am-9am and 3pm-9pm. I will make your pup or kitty feel right at home while you are enjoying your trip! I provide daily check ins, with either a FaceTime call to see your little buddy or photo/video sent in text messages! Your pet will also go home with a report card on how well he or she was for me! I have 5 years of experience working at dog boarding/daycare facilities, I started for vet tech at Globe, I own an Aussie border collie mix of my own, I've grown up with dogs, I have worked at pet's mart for 2 years with animal care. I also worked at a dog shelter and I've trained dogs as well. I've house sat for many people's dogs too! I want to continue my passion I Also have a certification in dog training from animal behavior college and have successfully trained dogs since. I have years of experience in dog sitting and cat sitting I even have been in charge of watching over a whole horse ranch which includes breeding Aussies. I love it and want to continue my experience. ****** I do allow dogs on the couch IF the owner okays it. I will do my best to accommodate the dogs stay so they have a positive experience and get a little pampered while you’re away******

About: I have loved and cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was a child. In recent years, I have adopted senior dogs with serious health issues, so I am well-versed in medications and special needs. I have a rescued cuddle buddy, about a 14-year-old, 10-pound toy poodle/Maltese mix who had a hard time sharing me, so my pet care availability has changed from boarding to drop-in visits and short walks. I am able to walk dogs under 40 pounds but love all dogs and would be happy to let larger dogs out into their own fenced yard. I also love cats and enjoy doing drop-in visits and getting all the snuggles - or completely ignored, depending on your fur baby’s personality ;)

About: I have had pets my whole life with different personalities. I currently have the most energetic dog with the biggest heart and personality and love him to pieces. I have taken care of my friends animals on numerous occasions. I work a full time job. I am willing to drop in before work and after work. I have my weekends and every other Friday completely open. I have a condo so not a lot of room so I am willing to drop by and take care of any animal. I take my pup on walks and play with him. I show him much puppy love and will treat any animal the same love.

“Sierra is amazing! I have a lot of anxiety about who takes care of my two 80lb rescue pittie mixes (they’re my babies) and she was incredible with them! She constantly checked in which was exactly what I needed to calm my nerves. She has a background in veterinary medicine and it shows. She also made an effort to leave my home in the same shaped as when I left and clean up after my messy, big guys. Can’t thank her enough for making a stressful situation so easy. Hope to work with her again soon!”

About: I’ve been around dogs and all animals my whole life and an array of animals growing up. I’ve gained professional dog training and handling experience over the last year and a half. I’ve managed large groups of dogs and worked more independently on individualized training. I have 3 of my own dogs and 2 cats so I know how important it is for your furry friends to get loving care while you are traveling. I’m hoping to gain a clientele of drop in dog walking clients during the day on the weekdays. My work can be very flexible, so I can drop in to care for you dog during the work day. I will care for your pet by providing drop in services for dogs where we could go for a walk or play in clients yard if Applicable. Care for cats by dropping in checking food and water, scooping litter, and giving your cat some love.

“Brooke was an exceptional dog sitter. We have a giant 2 year old, attention seeking puppy, and Brooke went above and beyond to care for him. She not only took amazing care of our puppy, but she also left our house neat and tidy. She arrived on time and was very thorough with all of the details. We will definitely ask Brooke back to our home to care for our boy.”

About: I've never had a dog before but I've always been drawn to them and plan to have one of my own in the future. I have dog sitted for some of my friends in the past and it allowed me to gain experience on caring for a pet without having one I work full time but I am available during the weekdays and weekends as needed. I can also stay overnight depending on the day! As long as it is communicated beforehand :) I don't currently have any pets but when I did, I was creative and quick witted to come up with safe, reliable ways to restrict my pet from going into a place they are not supposed to. For example, when I had a cat I used a very tall room divider to prevent my cat from going where he wasn't supposed to.

About: Have a family of 3 dogs and 2 cats and my family and I love our messy and hyper fur kids, no matter the situation we do research to avoid getting our fur kids sick and keep them feeling loved and relaxed :) I graduated from college this past summer and am working part time jobs so I have time to take care of friendly pets of any kinds and more than happy to house sit as well for any vacations! We have a fenced yard and we have a crate to put them in when they are doing naughty behaviors like digging through the trash or grabbing things (like food on the table) when they aren’t supposed to. I take them on walks and give them toys to play with as they love tug of war and enrichment toys to keep them busy while we are otherwise we cuddle and watch tv on the couch in my free time.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since 2011 and have years of hands-on experience caring for and training my own dogs. I’m currently a proud senior pit bull mom, so I understand everything from energetic playtime to the extra patience, attention, and love older dogs deserve. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, routines, basic training, and lots of snuggles. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own — spoiled appropriately, obviously. 😂🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pup the attention they deserve! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of love. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet like I’d want someone to treat my own. As a senior pit bull mom, I’m very attentive to routines, behavior, comfort, and each dog’s individual needs. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep you updated, and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Milaca

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Milaca on Rover is $87.2 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 175 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Milaca. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 Milaca walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Milaca 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!

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 Milaca 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!

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.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

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 with handling special pet needs in Milaca. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
