“Brandy made my first Rover experience a great one. She was very personable at our meet and greet and let me know my dogs would be well cared for. She gave me daily updates and my boys looked happy. The house was exactly as we left it which I also really appreciated.”
“Whitney was so good with my dog Grizzly, It was as if she understood Grizzly the moment they met. I had a scheduling mix-up and Whitney was more than accommodating to help me out by staying longer than what was scheduled on Rover. She sent me pictures of grizzly and told me how she exercised him which is really important for a growing Labrador. I would absolutely love to have Whitney come back and take care of him again. Five stars all the way around. And, she was good enough to strip the bed, you don't find that hardly anywhere anymore. Thank you Whitney did a great job.”
“Nicole has been such an amazing sitter we went to seven feathers for my grandma’s birthday and she just amazes me she is just the best person to have at ur house watch your animals I would recommend her to anybody!! I’m so happy I never had to get a pet sitter but we were just blown away with her and her service the way she just handled everything was amazing! 100/100 couldn’t be happier with her service!! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ she’s just so uplifting and has such great energy thank you Nicole for everything”
“Brianna was absolutely amazing with our fur babies! She sent updates, pictures, videos and even took out the trash, vacuumed, and scooped the litter box before we returned home. I will be using her again in the future!!”
“Elizabeth is very responsive. She took great care of my nervous pup and cat on short notice. She left the house cleaner than it was when she arrived, I think! We've already booked our next sit with Elizabeth and I look forward to having great peace of mind while we are gone.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care that MaKenna gave to our fur babies while away on an overseas trip. She always checked in daily letting us know how they were doing and sent photos which always made it easier on us while we were away. She went above and beyond leaving our home spotless too. My GSD has a very sensitive GI and she followed her diet regimen to a T. I highly recommend her to watch and care for your fur babies. Thank you, MaKenna!!!”
“Alexandra was great with our high energy pup and our two indoor cats. She stayed in our home for a week while we traveled internationally. She gave great updates, helped around the house, and sent pictures frequently. We will definitely use her again and recommend her highly!”
“My dog Daisy can be difficult and doesn’t love everyone- she instantly loved Kelly and felt very comfortable with her. I also was nervous to leave her for a few days but felt very comfortable leaving her with Kelly, who took great care of Daisy and my home. Having clean sheets on the bed when I got home was a huge bonus! Looking forward booking Kelly again in the future.”
About: I have been around dogs and cats since before I could walk! I started pet sitting for my neighbors when I was a kid and have spent most of my life helping out my friends and family with their pets. I am a huge animal lover and also very active! I often pet sit for my friends and love to take their dogs on walks and runs. I live in Albany with my cat, Bill, and work from home a lot so I have lots of availability and would love some more dog time in my life! I work from home four days a week (wednesday’s i am in office) so i have a lot of availability to spend time with your dog! I am also an active runner and walker, so I can get your pup outside and get out energy if that’s what they need, or we can cuddle up inside and play or hang out :) I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment with lots of grassy areas and walking paths around. I do have a cat, he gets along well with dogs, but your pup would need to be okay with cats! I have a very gentle approach to dogs and respecting their boundaries is so important to me. Depending on what you prefer for your dog, they are free to roam my apartment and be on furniture, unless you prefer them not to be! I have some experience training so if you’re in the middle of building habits, i will adhere to those practices :)
“Alyssa stayed the weekend with my labs at my house and I am so grateful for her help and respect of my home/schedule with the labs. She sent some pics to update me on the pups and was a great communicator. Came home to a house as clean as I left it and very happy labs. Would definitely recommend!”
“Sandor's experience dog-sitting Raphael was nothing short of amazing. Throughout their time together, they forged a bond that was built on trust, love, and endless fun. Through the pictures Sandor sent, I could see that Raphael was filled with joy and happiness, creating lasting memories that will undoubtedly be cherished by both of them. Thank-you, Sandor!”
About: I am an animal lover, I only have 2 pets in my home right now, but I would have a cat rescue if I was able. Experience with all ages of pets. My schedule is flexible as I work from home. I prefer to walk in the morning or evening, to avoid heat stress, but I am able to work around your schedule I have an 8yr old St. Benard who is a gental giant and a 8ish year old cat that's my baby. A fenced large yard.
“Absolutely love Manika! She was so good with our dog and communicated so well. Lots of videos and pictures of our dog sent to us regularly. Kept the place very clean and our dog was very happy and well exercised. Thank you Manika!”
About: Since childhood I have been around dogs and have developed a passion for caring for and bonding with them. I have raised two dogs of my own from puppy-hood, one of whom is now a senior dog who requires a little extra care. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and when I am pet-sitting, I treat them with the same attention and care as if they were my own. I have a passion for bonding with animals and making them feel seen and comfortable. I have experience administering medicine and have mitigated many situations with potentially aggressive dogs. In the course of my career I have encountered many different dogs on different properties and always make it a priority to visit with them (if they allow it) and make them feel comfortable and non-threatened. I am a full-time student, but with half of my classes being online, I have room to focus on pet-sitting. Animals are my passion and I will make sure that your pets are a priority. I will ensure that ample time and attention is given to your fur babies. I seek to get as much information as possible about the best way to care for your pets so thet I can care for them properly. I offer drop-in care and house-sitting care, all of which is dependent on your needs and comfort level. As I am a guest in you and your pets' space, I ensure that your pets feel safe and have ample time to focus on walks or other activities.
About: I grew up with a lotttt of cats and a dog. I currently have a big puppy and my roommate has three cats I help take care of. I loooove animals and always have! I work a lot, my schedule is a little all over the place but I am usually home most of the day and leave the pets with lots of water. Unfortunately the animals in my house are a little greedy, so they get fed once in the morning and once at night. We have two cat trees and lots of scratching posts for them. They (of COURSE) prefer climbing our bookshelves instead. I have some plants but keep them in areas they dont have access to. My dog gets two 10-20 minute walks a day and goes to the dog park as much as possible
About: Hi! My name is Grace, and I have over 5 years of experience as a pet sitter caring for cats and dogs. I was a pet owner for over fifteen years and understand the importance of quality, reliable pet care and wanting the best for your furry babies. In the range of care, I have done it all! Walking excited jumpers, tricky and picky feeding schedules, convincing discerning doggies to take their medication, litter training cutie kittens, and building trust in nervous new friends. I am a substitute teacher and off for the summer. I am looking for part-time work, and I have a flexible, mostly free schedule. I can drop in a few times a day or look after your pet overnight. Every pet has different needs. I rely on owners to guide my care routine and make sure I take the time to observe and adjust my plan.
“Henry was very friendly and handled my dogs like a pro. He stayed in my house for most of a week to look after them and left my place clean. My dogs were happy and relaxed when I got home. They're very high energy dogs, so that speaks volumes for Henry's care.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Millersburg is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Millersburg
Megan did a wonderful job watching our two dogs that have medication needs. I would highly recommend her as a sitter. She kept me updated with pictures and messages. Both dogs looked happy and well taken care of. I was out of state and driving home and Megan let me know that if I was delayed, she was willing to come over and check on my dogs. My house was clean and in order when I came home. Agai, I would recommend her a a sitter.
Alyssa stayed the weekend with my labs at my house and I am so grateful for her help and respect of my home/schedule with the labs. She sent some pics to update me on the pups and was a great communicator. Came home to a house as clean as I left it and very happy labs. Would definitely recommend!
Kelly was amazing! This was the longest we have ever said away from our animals and Kelly made sure to update us everyday all day long! She did new activities with our dog and spoiled her just as much as we do😂 our cat even loved her and our cat is kindy picky 😂 we will 100% use her again!
Alexandra was responsive when it came to answering questions about availability and setting up a meet and greet prior to booking. Our dogs responded very well to Alexandra and her energy; they were calm and warmed up to her quickly which isn't always the case when it comes to strangers. Alexandra took our dogs out on multiple walks and fed them according to our specifications!:)

FAQs for House Sitting - Millersburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Millersburg on Rover is $37.45 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 646 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Millersburg. 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 Millersburg 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 Millersburg 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 Millersburg 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.
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.
