“Alyssa did great with Nina and Pepper! She took care of Pepper's meds and paw bandage change, and both of them were happy and relax when we returned from our trip. Thank you Alyssa!”
“Alison was great! She took amazing care of my pets and was very responsive. It was so hot and she made sure my dogs went out plenty but didn’t get too hot. Would definitely recommend Alison, I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Laura was absolutely awesome! Laura truly was the best! She took the very beat care of our home and dogs. Our dogs (who are a bit needy and one special needs) had a smooth and seamless transition into her care. She was thought forward, kind, caring, diligent and followed all our dogs care needs and schedule perfectly. She treated our pups and our home as her own and we are so GRATEFUL! We feel so blessed to have met her and to have her care for our beloved dogs. We were very impressed & our dogs were never so calm upon our return ever. She is wonderful and comes highly recommended and we definitely hope to use her again.”
“Abigail was amazing with our two big dogs, especially Buddy who is extremely anxious! She was kind, professional, and showed up exactly on time. Abigail treated my house with as much care as my dogs! She really helped me out last minute after another sitter canceled- she came over that day to do a meet and greet and was watching them less than 24 hours later! I will happily hire her again!”
“Emily was so great! Riley took to her immediately during our meet and greet and she was great with him while we were gone, even through an unexpected blizzard. We ended up getting stuck for a few extra days and she was very flexible about extending her stay with Riley. Through all of travel headaches, it was nice to know that Riley was being well cared for. I would definitely book with Emily again!”
About: Hi. My name is Katie and want to welcome anyone that is reading this post. I have one cat of my own named Roxy. I have had cats my whole life and know the ins and outs and taking care of them. I have also had guniea pigs, hamsters, and dogs my whole life.I could of had a whole farm at one point I feel like..LOL. Dogwise I have had beagles and gordon setters. I love animals. I love brining joy to any dog or cat. They are such forgiving and lovely animals that I cant imagine my life without a dog or cat. I will play with your dogs/cats, take them on walks, cuddle with them if needed, just be there with them. Some dogs and cats just love the companion of another person. I would love to take care of anyones animals so they can be rest assured that they loved ones are taken care of while they are gone. I am available weekday mornings and days and also weekend mornings. I have a pretty flexible job so its perfect for dog and cat sitting and walking on the side I value and respect whatever routine dogs/cats have in their home. I would do my very best to make sure they are comfortable and stick with whatever routine they have. Just there for snuggles laughs and company....animals have beautiful souls
“Wayne did an excellent job caring for our two dogs! Our girl is a little challenging and he handled her without issues. Our home was clean and respected and our mail inside. I hope to have Wayne watch our dogs again!”
About: I have two wonderful cats (whom I would die for) and took charge of caring for our family dog. I am the kind of person that sees an animal in need and I drop absolutely everything for them. I love animals so intensely, I’m a vegan. I find I have the patience needed with animals to build trust and respect. I adore animals of every shape and size and have plenty of experience caring for them. I am working part time, so my schedule is very open! I am available Monday-Friday to check in on your pet, take them for a walk, feed and bathe them, and stay overnight with them. I very much believe in structure being important to a pets life, so I am more than willing to follow whatever routine you have with them. I will ensure that they are as safe as can be at all times.
“Kirsten did a great job taking care of our pets. We have a dog and a cat, and really appreciate the peace of mind having a reliable sitter provides when we travel. I look forward to working with Kirsten again!”
“Maya - she's just amazing! Emma, our #pandemicpuppy can be a real diva, but with Maya, she was exploring the neighborhood, hanging out in the park, and living the best life! We got lots of pics, videos, and updates. So glad to have found Maya here on Rover and looking forward to working with her again in the future. A total pro.”
“Stella had an extended stay with our pup and she was so wonderful at making sure our baby felt comfortable while we were gone. It was our first time being away so we were understandably anxious about how Philomena would do but Stella sent us loads of updates, photos and videos. Our pup had a wonderful staycation all thanks to her!!!”
“Shannon stayed with our three cats while we were in England for a week -- it was reassuring to know she was in the house keeping an eye on them (and everything else)! Kept the cats happy, left the house clean, and sent nice updates with pictures. Great cat-sitter!”
“Walker did a great job taking care of our home and dogs! We would highly recommend Walker for any of your dog/house sitting needs, we got daily updates and plenty of pictures. Thanks so much Walker!”
About: Since I was 8 I've had a small dog and began to learn the basics about taking care of pets. As I got older we also got two more dogs which I helped take care of, whether that was brushing their teeth, coat, taking them out on walks, teaching them tricks, or bathing them! I have experience taking care of older dogs as my Maltese grew up (changing diapers, etc) and puppies, as well as also walking and tending to friends dogs in my free time. I am an undergraduate student looking to walk and take care of pets in my free time! I am pretty flexible when outside of class, so finding a time that works should hopefully be fairly easy! I can ensure that your pets will have a lot playtime, be properly fed, and looked after attentively. I am patient and eager to ensure your pets care.

Attentive, responsive, and great with my cats! I would definitely hire again. Danielle has a very nice demeanor that allows them to approach her easily. She took great care of my home and sent me updates with pics daily. I felt at ease knowing she was taking care of them.
Kirsten was great with Ernie! He has bad separation-related stress, and she made us feel so at ease while we were gone. She provided consistent updates and made sure to follow everything Ernie needed for his routine and comfort. Highly recommend and would happily use her again when we travel in the future!
Lexi did two overnights at my house with my senior long haired dachsie . She was prompt and communicated well , lots of pics of walks and feeds and of my dog resting comfortably . Lexi left the house in great shape . I would definitely recommend her for housesitting or any animal care and feel completely secure hiring her again !
Richard was so amazing with my dog, Nina! I felt so relieved to have him watch her. It’s so clear he is a caring and thoughtful pet sitter. Nina is older and has a few special needs which he managed really kindly. Nina absolutely loved him! I will be rebooking Richard in the future for my sittings.
Angela was The Best Ever for my quirky, affectionate 13 year old standard poodle. She was extremely resourceful in figuring out how to meet his "senior" needs, and taught me a few tricks to get him to eat more! And he clearly loved her. She also took the best care of our house. I will ask her to sit with him again, without a doubt.
Amelia was absolutely incredible with my dog, Henry, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From the moment I left, I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. She followed all of his routines so thoughtfully, paid close attention to his eating habits, made sure he was comfortable, and genuinely treated him like he was her own. Henry can be a little particular at times, and Amelia was so patient and attentive to his needs. It was clear that she truly cares about animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, loved, and happy. She also kept me updated throughout my trip, which meant so much while I was traveling. Every message and photo reassured me that Henry was thriving and getting plenty of love and attention. Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog says everything. Amelia is reliable, communicative, compassionate, and an all-around wonderful pet sitter. I would trust her with Henry again in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.
Sierra was unbelievable! She was so lovely and kind to our family and especially our babies! She communicated throughout our whole stay, she sent pictures and videos to give us updates and asked questions to make sure she was giving proper care to our dog and cat. She loved them as if they were her own! I truly cannot say thank you enough for how wonderful she was! We will only be using her anytime we need pet care!
Ashley was professional, timely, and made sure to update me about my cats while I was out of state. I also have carnivorous plants which need some special care and they were cared for well! I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing my animals were cared for. Thank you!

FAQs for House Sitting - Millbourne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Millbourne on Rover is $63.57 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,800 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Millbourne. 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 Millbourne 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 Millbourne 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 Millbourne 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.

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.
