“Kelsey was amazing!! From our meet & greet with her and Willow. She is so kind, paid attention to details and made us feel comfortable having her take care of her while we were celebrating our son getting married!! I would definitely book with her again and would recommend her for you in the future 💕”
“We are SO glad we found Tyler… couldn’t be happier! He stayed with our sometimes over reactive dog for a week and it went well . Tyler is very attentive and kind. Sent updates and could easily be reached. Kept house clean and neat. Was great before our trip coming over to let our dog get used to him. So appreciated… will definitely use him again! Feel like we can go away and our dog is in caring hands. Thanks Tyler!!”
“I can’t say not enough about the relationship that I have developed with Zania both for myself and with my Cane Corso, Samson. She’s very personable, organized and thoughtful, and gives my dog plenty of love. Very grateful that we’ve met her.”
“Caitlyn was awesome with our 11 year old dog Nala. She was extremely reliable, attentive, and caring. I could not have asked for someone more trustworthy and conscientious to look after our dog, and our home. Highly recommended!”
“Melissa was very responsive to our initial request and gave our older dog, Sadie, excellent care! Would highly recommend. We will ask for her specifically the next time we need in-home pet care!”
“We highly recommend Phillip and cannot fully express how grateful we are for his excellent care of our pup Bennie. Phillip was truly one of the best sitters we’ve ever had ! We booked for house sitting just a couple weeks ago when we planned to bring both our disabled senior dog Max and Bennie . At the time we asked for help with taking special care of Max, repositioning and taking him out every couple hours during our time at Church Retreat. Sadly Max passed before our trip, Phillip was kind enough to still be willing to hang out with Bennie as we were staying at an Airbnb that normally doesn’t allow pets and had given us permission since we have a sitter and a crate for him. Philip was so thoughtful and kind to our Bennie making sure he felt secure and loved. He kept us informed on how Bennie was doing throughout the 2 days and was even willing to drive 30 min to the church we attended, so that he could hang out with Bennie in a shady spot for a couple hours ! We look forward to booking Phillip the next time we come to PA👏🐶”
About: When caring for someone’s pet, I want them to feel just as loved, safe, and cared for as they would if their parents were home. I’ve been raised around all kinds of pets throughout my life: fuzzy, feathered, and scaly! I also have two cats of my own, Lilith and Demeter, who are beyond spoiled and treated as my daughters. I truly believe every pet deserves that same level of love, attention, and care. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine, as I currently have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, I treat them like they’re a part of my family. I’ll follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions closely, while making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and love. I’m huge on communication and am more than happy to provide plenty of updates throughout the day/service.
About: i’ve been taking care of my dog since i was nine she sadly passed away in february 2023 and since then i’ve been dog sitting. i love seeing all the different personalities and getting to know them. i’ve also volunteered at shelters and in high school i did ctc for veterinary technician. i believe Good pet sitting combines animal care, communication, safety awareness, and professionalism. i can promise i will take good care of your animals and make sure they are loved and happy while ur gone.❤️ i currently work part time at a retirement home. i work early in the mornings so dont worry i will still have all day to make sure ur pets a well taken cared of. i have a big back yard very good for playing fetch. i also love going on hikes and walks. i know that every dog is different so if you do decide to book me please let me know there feeding schedule and when u take them out and i will make sure they are well taken cared for.
“Omg! I cannot ask for a better pet sitter. Maria is a sweetheart and made us feel very secure watching Lucy while we were away. She is very communicative! We really loved that she kept updating us with pictures. I highly recommend booking her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
About: I am easy for dogs to get accusomed to, even dogs with difficulty towards others. I have spent a various amounts of time walking/sitting for friends over the years and also maintaining other animals (cats, reptiles, ferrets). I enjoy engaging with dogs and other animals to spend my time, and working with them to better their skills. I am generally free during the days and in the mornings. Evenings most nights as well. I can pop in and out to assist as needed for any type of to level of care. My schedule is all over but that's what helps me maintain an open yet closed schedule! I will maintain making sure your animals water is full, food is served per your food schedule. I don't mind giving medications. I will happily brush it do other general maintenance as needed!
“Wow! Rachel was so pleasant, prompt, attentive and took great care of our little one for a week! We so appreciated the updates, photos and assurance all was going smoothly! It is such a comfort knowing our Lexi was so well taken care of! Rachel gave her medication, prepared her special meals and definitely spoiled her! We can’t wait to welcome Rachel again!”
About: I have been taking care of my family's dogs since I was young. It turns out we're mostly cat people now and I love playtime with cats too! I'm currently working full time and going to school but I would love to visit your dogs, cats or pets on the weekends and holidays. I know having your people leave home for awhile can be a stressful experience for pets. I think having time to play and run around is also an underestimated and important part of pet sitting beyond the basic and feeding and bathroom breaks.
“Maya was great! She communicated well while we were away (sending messages about Duncan's day and walks) and our dog LOVED her. The house looked great when we got back. Thank you Maya!”
“After moving to a new town, it was important to us to find a pet sitter we can trust. After searching around town and meeting a few people, Foxy was the obvious choice. Our dog, who is generally afraid and reactive upon first meeting people and dogs, was comfortable with her immediately. She was gentle with him and had a calming/reassuring tone. We were nervous about booking, but she instilled confidence that we could go away without worry. Throughout our trip, she sent pictures and communicated their adventures every day. Where normally when we come home Prince acts like we abandoned him, this time he was just happy to see us. It was like he genuinely had an enjoyable visit with Foxy. She did what she said she would do and more. We will absolutely use her again!”
About: Hi there! I’m Lauren, I have grown up with all kinds of animals like they were my family members, (even wild animals!). When your fur baby stays with me, they are a part of my family. I live with my Australian Cattle Dog, Spooky, and we love welcoming new friends into our home. Whether your baby needs snuggles, a play buddy or a friend to help them adjust, I am here to provide loving care. I treat every animal as if they were my own fur baby, making sure their stay is filled with comfort, play, and affection. I work from home as a digital marketer so I will be with your fur baby 24/7. Throughout the day I provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I do my best to follow your routine closely (if you have one you want me to follow) to make sure your baby feels comfortable, loved, and cared for while you are away. Since I work from home I can be with your fur baby 24/7. I create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel happy. Since I work remotely, I can provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and companionship. I always follow your instructions carefully (if you give me any), feeding routines, medication needs, leash rules, crate preferences, and any special care notes. I make every pet feel safe, loved, and cared for like they are my own fur baby.
About: New Rover Customers 20$ off first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/mayah72696 I have hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, cleaning litter boxes, walking dogs, and making sure pets get the exercise, attention, and structure they need. I pay close attention to each animal’s behavior and energy, so I can adjust care to what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs activity or a more independent cat who prefers a calm environment, I make sure they’re well cared for, comfortable, and treated with patience and respect while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy it and naturally build my schedule around it. I plan my time so I can be fully present during visits, walks, or stays, and I’m flexible enough to adjust based on each pet’s needs. I’m currently available full time, so I can dedicate consistent attention and care. I care for pets in a calm, attentive, and respectful way, always focusing on their routine and comfort. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their normal schedule consistent, this includes feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and any special needs. I also make sure the home stays clean, safe, and secure while the pet is in my care. I take time to build trust with each animal at their own pace, whether that means giving space to settle in or engaging in active play and companionship. My goal is always to make them feel safe, cared for, and as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Millersville
Linette was awesome! Our cat, Naamah, often hides when company comes. Linette was able to win over her friendship, and they hung out a lot! She took great care of the house. She communicated with us while away and sent pics/videos. She is very professional. I highly recommend her! Steve
Emily is a fantastic sitter. She took great care of our dog while we were away. And he can be a hand full. The house was left perfectly and she brought our mail in for us when I forgot to put it on hold. Very much appreciate her professionalism. ! Beni loves her too which is a huge plus ! He hopes she will come back again soon to stay with him. ! Thanks again Emily!
Katie was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was warm, personable, communicative, and incredibly kind. She took the time to set up a meet and greet, came prepared, and was so patient in letting Shep warm up to her at his own pace. It was immediately clear how much she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She kept me updated throughout her stay, was flexible, thoughtful, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I trusted her completely, even though we had just met, which says a lot. I couldn’t recommend Katie more highly and will absolutely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Millersville is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $64 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 October 2026, there are 1,149 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Millersville. 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 Millersville 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 Millersville 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 Millersville 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.

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.
