“Courtney provided dog sitting and housesitting services for me. She was great with my Sheppard!! She also kept the house in neat order and provided plenty of love to my dog. I will definitely use her again!!”
“Rachel was a “dreamboat” for our senior pups! She was available for them during the daytime and woke up early with them every morning! We could not ask for a better experience with a sitter for Sallie and Pixie and our home. If we have needs in the future she will be the first one we call!”
“We trust our cat Felix’s choice. He showed his love for Estefany the first time he saw her, and we knew she was the right person. And indeed, Felix was right! He was well taken care of. We will definitely choose Estefany again!”
“Lauren did a fantastic job of taking care of our two dogs while we were out of the country for couple of weeks. We had trouble with our internet which affected Lauren’s ability to work remote while staying at our house but she was a trooper and found a way to work around the issue and also had it fixed. She is the best and you can rest assured your pets are in good hands. I highly recommend her.”
“Rebooked Josh to watch our pups and he continues to be so amazing! Hands down the best at communicating during the stay and I am super grateful that I can trust my pups in his care! I continue to recommend him to anyone needing services that he offers. Thank you Josh! :)”
“Rylee did a wonderful job pet/house sitting for us on our week long vacation. Loved the daily updates & pictures! We came back to our house in perfect condition!l. Rylee is a caring, responsible sitter that I highly recommend and hope to utilize again in the future!”
“As soon as I met Loren I felt completely comfortable leaving our 15 month old pampered Coton de Tulear with her. She sent me great pictures that showed Moppie was relaxed and happy. I would not hesitate to get her to dog sit again!”
About: I’m an animal carer with over 30 years of experience. I have a soft spot for seniors, special needs and anxious pets/owners and I enjoy providing good photos to clients as well 💖 I have experience with rescues, fostering, and some veterinary care. I’m open to all creatures, I love reptiles as much as puppies. My schedule is extremely flexible, I’m able to make my own hours most of the time. I spend about a week a month helping care for my parents out of state but I always return to the RDU area. I am always mindful of people’s homes when I’m sitting for them. I usually request a list of basic information, including anything I might need to know about the neighborhood. I follow any security and safety instructions left for me.
“Noelle provided wonderful care for my pup! My Lu struggles a bit with separation anxiety and she was happy as a clam when I came home, which makes me happy. I would definitely book Noelle again!”
About: I stand out as a sitter because I bring 35 years of devoted cat care, including confident medication handling and gentle senior‑cat support. I understand the routines, patience, and comfort older cats need to thrive. While I don’t have extensive dog experience, I’m comfortable with small‑dog care and follow instructions closely to ensure they feel safe and well‑looked‑after. I care for pets in a calm, reliable way that fits their routine, whether I’m in my home or yours. Because I’m newly retired, I have a flexible schedule that lets me give unhurried attention, follow feeding and medication needs closely, and keep cats and small dogs comfortable in a familiar, low‑stress environment. If you want, I can make it even more streamlined by focusing on your flexible availability or your care routine. I provide calm, reliable care in my home or yours, keeping pets on their normal routine. With a flexible retired schedule, I can give steady attention and make sure cats and small dogs stay comfortable and stress‑free. If you want, I can make it even tighter by focusing on your flexible availability or your care routine.
“Megan was wonderful! She sent many pictures of Houston and Maggie, as this was her first time pet sitting for us. Megan's communication with us was great and the house was perfect when we arrived home. I would definitely contact Megan again to pup sit for us!”
About: I've always wanted a dog but haven't been able to make the full commitment. Pet sitting allows me to get my puppy fix while balancing work and home life. I have a hybrid work schedule but can usually flex and stay home. If I do have to go in, my fiance is a remote worker, so our puppies are never home alone. I try to make the dogs I care for as comfortable as possible. I have found that snuggling with them when they are home sick and missing their humans works best. My friends also enjoy all my daily updates. I try to send updates of highlights throughout the stay. That could be us just relaxing on the couch or trying new things. I love the different personalities and quirkiness of each pet.
About: I’ve grown up my whole life with pets in my home (both dogs and cats of all breeds). I currently don’t have any of my own, which allows me to give all my love to your pet when they’re with me. I’m young, active, and very willing to help your pet in any ways! I’m currently between jobs, so I have most of my day to dedicate to caring for your pet. My schedule is flexible and I’m willing to help however I can. I do not have a fenced yard, however I live right by many parks, trails, and green spaces that make it very easy to give your pet all the exercise they need.
“Rudi was amazing with our 5-month old puppy! She took the time to get to know him and all his quirks, and even provided us with a bunch of training tips for him for our return! Extremely patient, communicative, and thorough. We would absolutely use her again for Nuke!”
“I can’t recommend Hannah enough! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog and home with her. She sent lots of updates and pictures while we were away. We came home to a clean house just as it was left. Will definitely use Hannah in the future!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Millbrook is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Millbrook
I’m almost hesitant to tell everyone just how wonderful Tammy really is, because I’m afraid everyone will want to book her and she won’t have time for my babies! But she absolutely deserves this glowing review! Tammy was amazing from start to finish. Leaving our two fur babies in someone else’s care isn’t easy, but she gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs have very different personalities. Sisko took to Tammy right away, while our little Sassi is much more cautious and prefers to warm up to people on her own terms. Tammy was incredibly patient, gentle, and understanding, giving Sassi the time and space she needed to feel comfortable. We truly appreciated Tammy’s communication, attentiveness, and genuine care for our babies. Knowing they were safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. Tammy is everything you could hope for in a pet sitter, and we will absolutely be booking her again.
This was our first time using Rover as well as an in home dog sitter. Our dogs have a hard time staying at boarding facilities so we wanted to find a more comfortable solution for them. I can’t thank Taylor enough for taking care of our girls and allowing them to keep their usual routine while we were away. I appreciated the check ins and photo updates so much! Taylor is kind, professional, & compassionate. All things any pet owner would hope for in their sitter.
Rachel was great with our German shepherd. She sent us daily messages describing what they were up to and he really seemed to enjoy her company. She took great care of him and our house while we were gone. She also made sure we were arriving back on time before she left him:)
We had such a great experience with Meghan! She stayed at our home with our two dogs for the weekend, and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving our girls in her care. It was our first time using Rover and having someone stay in our home, and she made the whole experience so easy! Her communication was wonderful, she sent lots of pictures, and she spoiled our girls in all the best ways! She also took great care of our home. Everything was so clean when we got back, you wouldn’t have known anyone had stayed! We’re so happy we found her and will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! 😊
Amy was absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to stay with our three dogs over the weekend. She was incredibly attentive and kept us updated throughout the weekend, letting us know how each of them was doing. It made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our time away knowing they were happy and being so well cared for. You can tell Amy genuinely loves animals, and our dogs were clearly comfortable with her. We’ll absolutely be asking her to stay with them again and I know they’ll be excited to see her soon!

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 Millbrook 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 Millbrook 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Millbrook 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!

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 .
