“Julia did a fantastic job!! She took great care of the pets and checked in regularly. House looked great when we returned from our 2 week trip. This is our second time using her for pet/house sitting and would use her again!”
“Stephanie was so great for a last minute booking! Great with the dogs and sent many pictures throughout her stay! House looks great after she left. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember. They are a great joy to my life, but I understand the responsibility that comes with them. I’ve owned all different kinds of dogs, big and small, young and old. So, I also understand the special attention and care that some dogs need. With me your dogs will receive the proper care they need from walks and playtime to comfort to safety. You can rest assured that your dog will be happy and safe with me! I’m currently a full time college student, but other than during class time (Monday-Thursday) I am free to pet-sit. I only have a couple classes each day, so the longest your pet will be alone is a few hours at a time. I will provide a great environment for your pet by make sure he/she gets proper nutrition, playtime, walks, and cuddles! I can make sure your pet receives proper care with specific feeding instructions and exercise/playtime regimens.
“Franki was fantastic! She took such great care of our pups and home—we felt totally at ease while we were away. Can’t wait to book her again for future trips. Highly recommend! 😊”
“I highly recommend Kelsey! Her communication was great the entire time and I know she took amazing care of my fur baby! She was also respectful of the home and left it clean. Happy to have found someone reliable and trustworthy.”
“Sam was wonderful! She cleaned up after herself, communicated with us really well, and most importantly, loved and cared for our pup like we do. She was incredibly thoughtful and intuitive about his care, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands with her. We would absolutely have her back!”
About: I have been caring for stray animals daily, especially stray cats that I regularly feed and look after. Over time, I’ve developed strong bonds with them through patience, trust, and consistency, and I’ve learned to understand their individual personalities and needs. I also grew up with a lot of animals in my surrounding which is how I became to love them and care for them. I’m working 9-5 but I have plenty of free time outside of work! I’m available after 5 PM on Thursdays and Fridays, and I’m completely flexible and available anytime on weekends. I’d be happy to work around your schedule and give your pets the time and attention they deserve! 🐾 I provide care in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure their space stays clean and safe, and I’m happy to send updates and pictures so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Most importantly, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I’ve owned dogs, cats, and other animals since I was born. I watch my neighbors’ cats and/or dogs and I’ve given medicine and baths and anything else you can think of. I am currently available whenever to take care of any animals . I work little jobs whenever they come to me , I am free. I can easily crate the pet if needed. If the backyard is not fenced I will put a leash on them and walk them out there.
About: I grew up taking care of and pet sitting a half dozen dogs between my own and cousins’ houses. I take pride in treating your pets like family and ensuring a good time is had by all. My schedule is open allowing me to take care of your dogs in your home, mine, or engage in a daily walk schedule, plan etc. I’m happy to oblige to the care of your pets in your home, but generally wouldn’t be boarding, so to say, animals in my own home. I have a vehicle outfitted with a safety net, as well as the experience to know that dogs can surprise you and it’s better safe than sorry. Leashes are constantly held and my attention is not often distracted from your pet while they’re in my care!
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals, my patience, and my genuine commitment to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I grew up around animals and volunteered for three years at NAWS, a no-kill animal shelter in Mokena, Illinois, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals with different personalities and needs. I also have experience with pet sitting and grooming, and I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine, recognizing their individual needs, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I am happy to work with energetic puppies, help reinforce basic training and positive behaviors, and provide gentle, patient care for senior pets who may need extra attention. I take feeding schedules, exercise, medication instructions when applicable, and safety seriously. I also understand how important it is to keep pet parents updated and reassured while they are away. My goal is not simply to watch your pet, but to make sure they feel happy, secure, and cared for, just as they would at home. 🐾 I am flexible and will work around your schedule. I am currently in Winsconsin for the summer and working part time so I am widely available. Currently I am unable to host as I live in a dorm however I am more than happy to walk your dog or petsit !
“Denzel took great care of my puppies, always replied in a timely manner, was very flexible with any request we had, very responsible. Will be booking with him in the future.”
“We came home to a happy and well taken care of pup! Katherine is friendly, responsible and flexible, and a pleasure to work with. We were pretty much 'helicopter parents' as this was the first time she stayed with our boy, and she accepted this with grace. We won't hesitate to ask her to stay with him again in the future!”
“Sierra watched out two dogs for the first time and we could not be happier! We received updates and pictures of our pups and felt very comfortable having her watch them! We will be using Sierra again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Milan Center
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 223 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Milan Center. 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 Center 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 Center 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 Center 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
