“Abby was wonderful. We have two six month old puppies and she embraced their schedule & training. Abby has a calm demeanor and the pups loved her. The house was neat & so was the fog run. The pups were so calm when we got home; we highly recommend Abby & will try to book with her again when we plan to travel.”
“Mary was awesome. She loved our fur babies exactly how we do and they were so very happy which makes us totally happy. I would definitely use Mary in the future and already have some bookings with her.”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 5 years and have been lucky enough to build lasting relationships with many wonderful families and their furry companions. Several of my clients have trusted me time and time again for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care, and there's no greater compliment than having someone ask you back. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to senior pets who prefer a slower pace and extra patience. I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and needs, and I always take the time to get to know them, so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I'll treat your pet like the unique individual they are and make sure you stay connected with regular updates and plenty of photos while you're away. I'm currently working full time, Monday through Friday from 7:00am-3:30pm. I will adjust my schedule of personal events/activities during the times I may watch your pets on the weekends, that way they get my full attention and have someone to lean on. Since I work 8-hour shifts, I try my best to give your pet everything they need early morning and then after work I'm all theirs :). Typically, I am known for house sitting and staying overnight with your pets as it is a better, more comfortable and familiar environment for them.
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our super anxious poodle mix with Betty! She was so patient and took great care of our pets and home. We look forward to booking her again :)”
“Tierra was wonderful! Our dog Hank loved her as soon as he met her at our meet and greet 😊 She did an amazing job watching him, she sent great updates and pictures and Hank had so much fun with her! We came back to a very happy guy after his time with her 😊 we will definitely use Tierra again”
“We liked Joy enormously. Shadow and Toby had so much fun they slept the entire afternoon after she left. And they loved the snuggles and sleeping under the sheets! We'll definitely book Joy again.”
“Abby did a great job looking out after my two dogs! She left earlier today before I got home. Dogs were taken care of and the house locked up. Not 20 minutes after she left the house, a neighbor of mine called and said they had Buddy. He had escaped the yard somehow! I contacted Abby and asked if she could go back to the house and deal with that situation. She didn’t hesitate! I got back from out of town and found the dogs happy and healthy like nothing ever happened! Thank you Abby for the extra care!!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have always been the person friends and family trust to care for their pets. I have a Havanese named Pita who is my little adventure buddy. He’s 6 years old, about 16 lbs, and is a very friendly little guy who loves being around other dogs. I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and won’t be left alone during the day. I live in a clean, tidy apartment right off the Centennial Trail, so we love getting outside for walks and fresh air. Whether your dog loves adventures, playtime, or just relaxing and cuddling, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved like they’re part of the family while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. Your pup will have plenty of company, attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. Pita and I already enjoy daily walks on the Centennial Trail, relaxing at home, and getting outside whenever we can, so your dog will be included like part of our normal day. I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. I live in a clean, tidy apartment and always make sure pets are cared for in a calm and safe environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether they want to play, go for walks, cuddle, or just relax, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need.
“Nazeerah was AMAZING. We have a timid, people-selective wolfhound. He sounds intimidating when he gets scared. She was so respectful of his boundaries and allowed him the time to approach her on his terms. By the end of the weekend, she was petting him and he was cuddling with her. Our other dog loved her from start. This speaks volumes about her character, dogs know good people. The most important thing she did though was put my mind at ease so I could be fully present on our family get together and not be concerned about what was happening at home. She provided updates and pictures of all my animals (goats, chickens, dogs and cats) several times a day. Our only heat source is a woodstove and even though the stove can be temperamental, she worked the problem and kept it going. We have had many house sitters over the years but never one as conscientious and caring as Nazeerah. I think the dogs were disappointed when we showed back up instead of her. She is truly an animal lover and more importantly, knows how to put their owners at ease by providing love to their fur babies. We recommend her to everyone and will definitely have her come back again.”
About: I love pups of all ages! I’m happy to follow special instructions or routines and provide loving, attentive care. I treat every dog like family. My schedule is a little all over the place but that’s why it works so great, I can do early mornings, during the days as well I don’t work until 3:30 and do a little work in the mornings at 6:30am but free throughout I’m great with any needs or prescriptions or preferences you might have for your pets, I care for my own like my baby so I expect to do the same for anybody that’s trusting me to watch theirs
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child. I even helped my dad to bring baby puppies to born. I know basic trainings since I have had German Shepherds and Labradors all my life. I am a dog lover. I’m a stay home mom. I study my MS online so I’m home mostly so it’s convenient for me to watch dogs in my house or go to your house still can do that. I have a huge fence yard with sweet Labradors Who they can play with I have cages as well. If they are used to them I am an online full time student from home so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies staying at home with them. 🙂 I have a huge backyard with safety fence all closed and secure and when the pups are inside the house they spent time with us. My husband and my two boys helped me as well when they are home.
“We are absolutely obsessed with our dogs, so leaving them while we went on vacation was nerve-wracking. I’m talking tears and the whole shebang. From the very beginning, Sienna was so sweet, attentive, and caring - it immediately put us at ease. She kept us updated, treated our pups like her own, and we could tell they felt safe and loved with her. Coming home, they were happy and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to know we can trust someone who is not only responsible but genuinely kind. We’re so grateful to have found her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and dependable pet sitter!”
About: I have been raising, training and keeping animals under control amd safe all my life. I have been taught how handle and care for dogs especially since I was little, my family owns a dog kennel in which I was instrumental in keeping our dogs happy, clean and well fed. I work part time as a cook from Friday-Tueday Although I am still available between 8am-1pm on those days. I am fully avaliable on both Wednesdays and Thursdays all day long. Whether it's taking your dog on a walk or playing with them at home, keeping them safe and happy regularly you can count on me to get it done.
“Bindi is a quirky dog but received excellent care by Marcus. He sent photos of her in the house and on walks. She was happy to see us when we returned and in great shape. He was conscientious about our house, too. Thank you, Marcus!”
About: I got my first dog Ginger (Golden Retriever) when I was very young maybe about four or five years old. When she had puppies, I helped my parents take care of them. After Ginger, I grew up around several other dogs including Labrador Retrievers, a Schnauzer, Boston Terrier, Chihuahua, Great Pyrenees. I have had six years experience caring for my partner's Shepsky who is high anxiety including separation anxiety and when my mom is out of town for an extended period of time I care for her dog which includes medication administration. I currently work part time and have a very flexible schedule and the summer off from school so I can adapt to your needs as a pet sitter! When caring for pets in a client's home, I first like to conduct a meet and greet to learn your pet's specific routine with tasks like feeding and potty breaks and medications and scheduled administration if any. I will stick to this to reduce anxiety and excel at providing consistent communication with photo updates as needed. I also believe in respecting a client's home and belongings and abide by the "leave a place better than you found it" rule.
About: We love hosting pets for their own vacations at our farm while their parents are gone. We have around dogs and cats our whole lives and have experience with small breeds like Chihuahuas and Yorkies, Blue Heelers and Labs, as well as Dobermans and hunting dogs. Every dog is different and we follow each owner’s lead on how to be of service to them and their pet. We have many references I am happy to provide. I look forward to connecting with you! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. I’m available for boarding most days of the week. My schedule allows for lots of outside time and hanging out around the house with us for pets that are comfortable with that We have 2 acres that provide lots of outdoor space as well as several separate bedrooms so pets can have their own peaceful space as well as hanging out with me in our living spaces

Abigail was really great. She was consistent in sending photos of the pets with a little note. The animals were happy when I returned, but didn't seem desperate to see me. That's a good sign. I believe Abigail is very responsible and trustworthy and the pets seemed to really like her. I will certainly ask her again to watch my critters.
Abby was wonderful. We have two six month old puppies and she embraced their schedule & training. Abby has a calm demeanor and the pups loved her. The house was neat & so was the fog run. The pups were so calm when we got home; we highly recommend Abby & will try to book with her again when we plan to travel.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Milan is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $47 and $53 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
