“Amy took very good care of my fur babies. She walked and fed them every day, plus stayed at the house. She even got my “scary cat” to come out of hiding. I have booked her for a second housesitting for a longer period of time. I trust her but most of all the fur babies trust her. I would recommend her to anybody.”
“Had such a great first Rover experience with Nancy! She took such good care of my cat and gave me constant updates and photos. Would definitely have Nancy watch my animal again.”
“Sasha made sure my cat’s basic needs were met, which I appreciated. However, I was disappointed with the overall experience. There were some issues with communication, following instructions, and general attentiveness. I also returned to a home that was not as clean as I had left it, including trash that had not been taken out. Additionally, although I paid for overnight care, I felt that the service did not fully reflect that expectation. While my cat was cared for, the overall experience fell short of what I had hoped for.”
“Luke was able to take care of my senior dog on super short notice, and they immediately connected. It was great to know my pup had good company. Luke's got jokes too. 10/10 no notes”
“She went above and beyond for our pets when we were away. We have two cats and a dog, and she did a phenomenal job of taking care of them and make sure that they feel cared in love for at all times. She kept us updated and sent us cute photos of them daily!”
About: I have always loved pets. Growing up, I didn't have any of my own, but those of my friends, neighbors, and family were always the highlight of my day. I've taken care of and friends' dogs and accompanied many of them throughout the years during their time as sitters. I am now a proud cat mom and ready to fill my life with more adorable animal friends! I am open to caring for dogs, cats, birds, and other small pets. I am in the last year of my MFA program, so I have classes to work around. However, my schedule is generally somewhat open, and on a given day I am usually at home or nearby my neighborhood, so I can easily accommodate a last minute drop in request. When visiting your home, I will be sure to respect your space and follow your instructions to a T (I'll always check everything at least twice)!
“Olivia was great! My pets all seemed very happy when she sent pictures, and our house was in great shape when she left. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Berrangere was an incredible sitter to my dog. She was responsive and even arrived early to our meet and greet which I really appreciated. My doggo was happy and was comfortable with Berrangere. Thank you so much! I will be booking with you again! Best, Diamond G.”
“Samantha was amazing! Very prompt (even early), communicative and reliable. She sent lots of updates with photos, which was much appreciated. Came home to a happy dog and would absolutely ask Samantha to watch our dog again. Thank you, Samantha!!!”
“I cannot recommend Catherine enough! As someone using the Rover app for the first time, I was a bit nervous about leaving my two pups, but Catherine made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. She kept me updated and put my mind completely at ease while I was away. What truly sets Catherine apart is how she goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care. One of my dogs requires daily medication, and Catherine handled it with such diligence and patience, ensuring she never missed a dose. It is such a relief knowing my pets were in such capable, loving hands. She is wonderful with both of them, and I’m so grateful I found her!”
About: I have lifelong experience being around and caring for both dogs and cats. I currently care for my own dogs and have also helped care for dogs belonging to people I know. My experience includes feeding, walking, bathing, basic grooming, cleaning pet areas, supervising pets, providing exercise and companionship, and maintaining regular routines. I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels, and I’ve also helped care for a pregnant dog and newborn puppies. I’ve been around cats and cared for them throughout my life as well. I’m comfortable with their daily care, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, companionship, and respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. I’m available throughout the week and can follow their usual daily routines. I’ll treat your home and pets with care and respect. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, keep doors and gates secure, clean up after your pets, and send regular updates and photos.
“Katherine was excellent with Gracie! She gained her trust quickly and sent me lots of updates and pictures which I really appreciated as a new dog parent. I will definitely use her services again!”
“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!”
“Ali is a delight! She took great care of my dog and my house while I was away. I could tell that my dog was very happy and had a great time on their daily walks. Ali is also able to handle special requests as my dog has some anxiety and needed some extra attention. She also was great at providing updates. Highly recommend Ali!”

Angela was wonderful! She took such great care of Darby while we were vacationing, making sure she was well-fed, comfortable, and loved. She even tended to a few skin bumps Darby had and handled an unexpected toilet overflow like a pro! Throughout our trip, Angela gave us complete peace of mind knowing that Darby and our home were in good hands. She went above and beyond, and we would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!
Alejandra was so great with Elf and Strudel. Elf is 15.5 and very particular and she made me feel completely at ease, checking in and taking care of them like they were her own. She went above and beyond with taking care of them and sending updates. Cannot say enough how much of a relief it was to find someone so caring! Highly recommend!!
I cannot say enough about how amazing Anna is. She is hands down the best Rover and animal sitter I have ever had in my 15 years of having pets in this area. Anna is so professional, communicative and caring. I feel so reassured when I know my dog is in her care. I cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for someone who truly treats your pets as if they are her own.
Erin was great with our 3 pets! We have a high energy dog and she was absolutely wonderful with accommodating her needs while we were away. We have 2 cats, one more friendly than the other, and Erin was so good about meeting each of them where they’re at socially. 10/10
Abby was great. She was punctual for both the meet-and-greet and her weekend stay and she was detail-oriented so as to stick to Piper's usual routine. She communicated clearly with us while we were away. Her background as a vet tech and current studies to be a veterinarian were important to us because Piper was recently diagnosed with diabetes. We went over the regimen and Abby was careful about giving Piper her shots. We could tell that Abby was very responsible and that let us leave for the weekend knowing that Piper was in good hands.
Elizabeth was great! I have two German Shepherds, and one of them is more high-maintenance and requires medication and a consistent routine. In the past, I’ve had a hard time finding sitters who truly understand the importance of sticking to their schedule and making sure everything is done correctly. Elizabeth was responsible, communicative, and very attentive to their needs. I felt confident knowing they were in good hands, and she kept me updated throughout their stay. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth and would happily have her care for my dogs again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Millbourne is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $83 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.
As of November 2026, there are 5,520 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 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
