“Yeah, best sitter ever. No contest. Regular updates and pictures while we were gone. The dogs were calm and not stressed when we got home. As long as she's available, she's our choice.”
“Abby was fantastic with our dogs. She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated throughout her time with them, giving us great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our pets and took excellent care of them. She even went above and beyond by giving one of our dogs a bath. We couldn't be happier with the care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
About: I am extremely active and love to run, and love animals of course! I've trained two dogs of my own to run miles at a times with me. I love a good walk tho too, and will gladly walk with your dog :) As far as human babies, I have one under 1, and another under 3 currectly. I am able to keep kids and pets separate if needed. As far as pets, I have one dog, Dixie, a super duper friendly and energetic pittie mix, about 5-6 years old. She gets along with all other dogs, cats (including our 6 year old cat, Murray), adults and kids. We have a nice sized fenced in yard for playing in. I work remotely and my husband also has a flexible job. Between the two of us, we'll ensure your pets needs are covered! As far as experience, I grew up around dogs, and I adopted my own shelter dog, a 50lb pitbull mix at 6 months old in 2018. I trained her and another dog on my own. We will treat your pet like our own, with love and affection. You can rest at ease while you are away that your pet will be comfortable and well taken care of! We've had dogs as young as 4 months, and elderly dogs with special needs. Whatever level attention your pet needs we will do our best to take as good of care of them as their owners do! I work remotely as a real estate agent and my husband is an entrepreneur, so we're both around! It will be me 95% of the time caring for your pet, but my husband may help out when needed. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly, medium sized dog and a cat to keep your fur baby company. You're pet can be crated or kept separate if needed.
“I seriously cannot say enough good things about Megan! I was SO nervous about leaving my dogs, especially because they’re big girls and I’m very particular about who I trust with them. Megan completely eased my mind. She sent me pictures and updates EVERY single day, and seeing my girls happy and comfortable made such a huge difference. I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing they were safe and being cared for by someone who genuinely cared about them. Megan was patient, dependable, and amazing with my girls. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs confirmed that I made the right choice. I will absolutely be using her again. If you’re nervous about trusting someone with your dogs, Megan is the person you want! 🐾❤️”
“Cassandra was a great sitter for Peaches. She has experience with senior dogs and giving medication and sent pictures and updates to let us know how things were going. Upon our return, Peaches (and the house) were in great spirits and conditions.”
About: Pet uncle of three chihuahuas but love dogs of all sizes, and cats as well I have cared for pets of family and friends for many years. Love to spend time with animals. I currently work on a part time basis, so my schedule is pretty open, I can be available both during the week and on weekends. Safety and trust are always my number one priority. I welcome the opportunity for a meet and greet to understand all of you and ypur pets needs.
“Luke is a fantastic Rover. We had Luke sit for our 2 dogs recently, and not only was he great with our dogs, he was incredibly flexible and helpful. We actually had a family medical emergency happen while on vacation, and Luke helped out by extending his stay an extra 4 days. We highly recommend him for sitting.”
“This was our first time needing someone to house/pet sit. I was a bit nervous, but Andrew was confident at the meet and greet that everything would be just fine. He took wonderful care of our fur babies. He gave us updates. He sent us some wonderful pictures and a video of Lucy playing. He asked good questions. I was able to leave town for the first time in a while and enjoy myself knowing someone was going to be there. He did the expected chores morning and evening. He kept the house in great order. He had to do a little extra cleanup after one of the kitties had an accident. I would absolutely have Andrew stay and care for our cats again.”
“Addison watched our cat Maxwell for 10 days, and she did a great job! She stayed in touch with us during the trip sending updates and pictures of Maxwell.We really appreciated that! She put in alot of effort trying to make him feel comfortable, and connecting with him. I can definitely recommend her as a pet sitter, and would book her again in a heartbeat to watch our cat.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I used to love looking at animals and playing with them in the store. I wanted to own every pet I am open availability and local! I'm willing to drive a bit but that depends on weather! Easily able to do last minute if you need! Excited to care for your pets! I can easily crate if needed and feed/bathroom breaks/play time for as long or as short as needed. I am readily available to take care of your fur baby as if they're my own!
“Tia was great taking care of our pups! She was very communicative and sent lots of pics throughout the week! She got them out for two walks a day per our request and gave them lots of love! Will definitely use her again and would highly recommend!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs fairly recently, my mom owns a malamute who she had to train herself now he's the most well behaved boy- my mom's been giving me insight for a year or so back when I had a reactive pitbull terrier and had been able to mellow the terrier out till her passing. That terrier helped me believe with the proper equipment and patients, dogs and cats are amazing companions As for cats I haven't had much interactions with just yet but I'm willing to befriend and get to know your cat(s) :D Currently unemployed for now, however I am in school but if changes happen I'll give that heads up and make changes to this profile. But for now I check in on your cat(s) or dog(s) whenever during the weekdays up until 6pm Safety and comfortabality is what will come first for your cat or dog. Need your dog(s) or cat(s) checked up, watered, fed, or taken out for a bathroom break? I'll be on the way!
About: I’ve had the pleasure of taking personal care of numerous dogs over the last 30 years. The dogs I’ve personally cared for have been various sizes - from less than 30th lbs to over 80lbs. I’m comfortable in caring for all sizes. I love all dogs!! I have a huge fenced-in yard with both sun and shade. I have a 4 year old neutered male cattle dog mix (Thor) who is the love of my life. He loves all people and all animals. He would love to play in our yard with your dog(s). In the last year I was employed by a high-end doggy daycare and boarding business as a Pet Care Technician. In that capacity I watched over and cared for numerous dogs - both large and small. I cared for and loved each one as if they were my very own. I’d love to care for your furbaby as well! I am currently retired from work as a Pet Care Tech at a high end doggy day care and boarding business. I’m available on weekdays and completely available on weekends for playtime and care of your pup! I have a large fenced-in yard and a playful 2.5 year old cattle dog mix. Playtime, sunshine, and love await your furbaby. If your dog is older or more laid back, then laying in the yard sunbathing and plenty of snuggling time sounds wonderful as well.
About: Having grown up around everything from hedgehogs to mastiffs and either helped or been responsible for their care, I have a lot of practice in many areas of pet caregiving. I have studied dog and cat behavior in particular, and though my specialty is with cats, I am very well-versed in dog communication as well. I also have experience medicating ill or disabled animals in a way that limits stress and maintains a healthy relationship. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so I can shape my schedule to what's best for your pet. My ideal pairing is with night owls like myself, as I tend to sleep in and stay up late. If you're planning a date night, or if you work late and can't check on them, I can fill in those gaps. I believe that a safe and low-stress environment is best accomplished by knowing who I'm working with. If your pet is skittish around new people, I will move calmly and avoid eye contact or unprompted touch. If they want a playmate for when their people are away, I can be exciting and fun! If I need to do anything that may be stressful to your pet, such as bathing them, correcting behavior, or medicating them, I will take extra time to sit with them and let them hear my voice in a nonthreatening context, to bring the relationship back to something more trusting. I do not wear strong scents or talk loudly, and if play gets too out of hand, I know how to calmly but firmly redirect into more acceptable behaviors.
About: I've had animals my entire life - cats, dogs of all sizes, caged critters, etc. I've provided care for pets of family and friends both inside my home and theirs, and feel comfortable caring for animals with special needs. I am also a licensed cosmetologist and have been grooming my own double-coated dogs for over 10 years and am happy to help with grooming your babies! At this time I am unemployed and have a pretty open schedule to love on your babies! My pups prefer to have me home overnight but otherwise I'm very flexible. My yard is not fenced so potty time is leashed outside, however I do have a fenced patio and large finished basement where my two dogs love to play. I can crate if needed, my boys typically only crate when nobody will be home. Also, I do enjoy giving a good groom- bathing, brushing, ears, nails, and trimming.
“Brooke is amazing! She stayed with our dog and cat while we were out of town, and took great care of them. She definitely has a way with animals- our dog warmed up to her immediately and she never does that with new people! I felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care. Her communication was top notch and she took great care of our home, too. We will be hiring her again in the future. Very highly recommend her!”
“Took care of older cat and young cat who are still working things out. I felt so much better leaving them in Breanne's care. She is knowledgeable and attentive. And goes above and beyond.”
About: My household has had dogs for the past 12 years. I have watched dogs for other families while they are away several times over the past 10 years. I work very well with energetic and stubborn breeds. Frequents walks. Almost always home. I am a stay at home mom of older children. I am almost always home, and will ensure a fun and yet peaceful environment. Thank you for your consideration. I do have a fenced in yard that is smaller, and live very close to a dog park if desired. I can seperate our dog on a lower level if there is ever any issues, or space is need.
“Jenna was amazing with our boys. Very communicative and caring. She went above and beyond with the care of our fur babies and took great care of our home while sitting for our 2 dogs. Would HIGHLY recommend!”
“Allyson stayed with our senior dog and cat for 10 days - she kept very well care of them and sent updates with pictures and videos everyday Usually when we leave for a few days our senior dog doesn’t do good - but with Allyson he was well when we got home We will for sure will use her again”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Milan on Rover is $44.4 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 148 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Milan. 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 Milan 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 Milan 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 Milan 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 Milan. On Rover:
- 100% 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.
