“Madelynn did an amazing job watching my two cats over night while on vacation for a week. When we returned home you could tell the cats were well taken care of and were getting plenty of attention throughout the week. She also takes great pictures! I love getting the updates and pictures while we were gone. She left the house spotless, which was greatly appreciated! I will definitely be hiring her in the future and without a doubt would recommend her to my friend and family! Thank you so much Madelynn!”
“Alex was so wonderful with our pets! She sent us great updates each day, so we knew they were well taken care of and were in good hands while we were gone. We will definitely be asking Alex to take care of our pets again the next time we go out of town!”
“Sonja stayed in our home and sat for our cat and dog for 3 nights/4 days. We are so thankful to have found her. We have a 5 lb dog who is pretty helpless (can’t go up and down stairs, can’t jump up into a bed) and incredibly fragile, so it made us really nervous to leave her with just anyone. However, upon first meeting, my dog let Sonja pick her up instantly, which she normally never lets strangers pick her up. Sonja is a kind and gentle soul, so it’s very easy to trust that she was going to treat our pets and home with care. Our pup was very happy to see us when we got home, and we could tell by how happy she was that we left her in good hands. Now that found Sonja, we can finally start traveling again!”
“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.”
“Crystal did a great job watching our 2 fur babies for 3 weeks. She sent us updates and pictures on a regular basis. When we walked in the door, they were happy and healthy. Thanks for taking good care of our kitty cats!”
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 ;)
“Megan did great with our little girl cookie, She kept cookie calm throughout the fireworks, we will be getting her again, looking forward to seeing you at the end of month!! Thank you again”
“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!”
“Toby and Tinker did well with Theresa staying with them for 2 night, including 2 1/2 days. Theresa communicated well. She did a couple extra jobs I asked her to do, and even took her linens off the bed and washed them before we got home. This was the very first time either dog had spent the night without one of us. I would book Theresa again if she is available in the future when we might want her.”
“Tanya is absolutely incredible! She is amazing!!!! She has a way with animals, highly intuitive to understanding and giving them the proper care that they need each and every pet. She treats with such attention and care that she has a way of connecting with all animals and she's also just very charismatic and friendly all around!!!!! I am absolutely grateful that I have found Tanya as a sitter and as a friend she is amazing!!!!!! 🐶🙏🥰”
“Jessica is nice & she is good with Dexter! Takes him for walks and everything. She worked during her stay, which we agreed to, but she was gone a little longer than I expected based on her work schedule. Otherwise, she was good with Dexter and left the house in good order when she left.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. In high school, I worked at a dog daycare for 3 years where I was a manager and handled up to 30 dogs on a daily basis. These dogs varied in breed and behavioral characteristics, and it was my responsibility to ensure they were cared for and safe. I followed strict procedures regarding meals, safety, and potty breaks. I’ve also been a go to dog-sitter for friends and family for the past 3 years, staying in their homes taking care of their pets and following the provided instructions they left for me. My tasks as a dog sitter have included feeding at designated times, playing with them, and letting them out regularly. I’m currently between jobs and have a seasonal coaching job (ends in May) so my schedule is very open except from 3-5:15 M-F due to my coaching responsibilities. My flexible schedule allows me to take care of your pups and give them the time they deserve. When taking care of your pups or kitties (for overnights or drop ins), I love being given specific care instructions to ensure that there isn’t a change in their routine. Furthermore, if house sitting, I want to know and abide by your homes rules to be respectful to your space.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I grew up on a large animal farm where we had bison for 20 years. I went to college at msu Mankato for animal science. In 2016 I started working at a boarding kennel and ever since I have found my life passion of working with dogs and cats. I have 4 dogs of my own on a hobby farm. I have two springer spaniels, my rescue dog that is a chow pit bull, and recently got a golden retriever puppy. I have also been grooming dogs professionally since 2018. I know how to do anal glands, haircuts, nail trimming and buffing, ear cleaning, meds, baths, basically the whole works! I am currently available pretty much everyday for drop ins, walks, feeding, meds, and to give love to your fur babies! Even last minute I’m available I offer drop in at your house, I can do over nights if needed, I also can pets to appointments if needed. I do have experience with aggressive dogs as well. I have a fully enclosed 7 foot tall fenced in yard as well
“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.”
“There’s not enough space on this page to mention all the wonderful things about Autumn. In a word, unbelievable. She is exceptionally caring, thoughtful, and meticulous. She went well above and beyond our expectations. She’s an outstanding communicator and we knew our pet was in the best possible hands while we were away. For honorable mention, she had to manage a tree falling on her vehicle during her stay. She gave our dog an enormous amount of attention and love in addition to leaving our home in immaculate condition. We can’t thank her enough.”
About: I have experience mostly with having pets at home, I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child! I used to work for a pet supply and adoption store; finding homes for puppies, kittens, bunnies, and other pets. This included some socialization training and administering vaccinations and medicine when necessary. Researching pet products and getting families set up to take their new member home was a huge play into my role as a pet sitter now! Right now I am working full time Monday-Friday with Friday afternoons free. I am in the works to change my schedule for more availability. Message me to work times out! I am in a townhome, unfenced backyard. Quiet neighborhood, with nearby parks and grass land or sidewalks. I prefer to pet sit in-house instead of at mine, however, I can be flexible. My roommates and I have two cats, and a dog!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Milaca on Rover is $87.2 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
