“Meredith hung out with our redbone coonhound puppy while we attended a wedding in Nashville. Communication was top notch! Meredith arrived on time and took her responsibilities seriously. We highly recommend Meredith as your next Rover. You will not be disappointed!”
“Paula was fantastic and our fur babies loved her!! They received lots of exercise and porch time. Her communication was excellent and she provided lots of pics during our time away. We will definitely be using her for our upcoming pet/house sitting needs.”
“Jemima was our in-home dog sitter during a two-week trip overseas, and we were so fortunate to find her. Our dog instantly bonded with Jemima, so we knew she’d be happy during our time away. She sent us regular photos and videos of our dog’s activities. Jemima also helped diagnose and treat our dog’s nausea over a couple of nights, which promptly got resolved. She’s a true dog lover and was super attentive. She took our dog on walks, spent time with her outside in the grass, played tug-of-war, and otherwise kept our dog entertained throughout the visit. We’ll definitely be booking Jemima again!”
“Cassandra did a terrific job with our "old lady" elderly cat! Her communication was great, she did a meet and greet ahead of our trip, and Polly was happy and did so much better with someone here at the house instead of drop-ins. Our house was spotless when we arrived home. We have already booked her again for future stays!”
“Denver was great, and we will definitely be reaching out to him in the future. He took pictures, gave updates, and made sure the dogs weren’t chewing up anything they weren’t supposed to. When we got home, the dogs were all relaxed and happy. Thank you, Denver!”
“Stacie was great with our pups. She provided regular updates and made sure Bella was as comfortable as possible during a heavy rain storm. Would definitely recommend Stacie.”
About: I am in the vet program at a local college and have worked with animals in school; Including dogs, cats, reptiles, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I love taking care of animals and don’t care about messes or sick. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter and have learned basic care. I’ve always had large dogs and currently have 2 dogs: a large and a small dog. I have a leopard gecko too and would love to take care of any reptiles/amphibians! I have classes Monday-Thursday and Fri-Sunday I am free all day. I just need a few days notice to make sure I stay free to take care of your pets! I love to go on walks and so your dogs will get exercised! I will take them out regularly and do not mind cleaning up messes or sick.
“Elyssa did an amazing job with my fur babies. My dog even needed to go to the vet while I was gone, and she worked with me to get her seen and cared for asap. I'll definitely rebook her whenever I travel and would recommend her!”
“Gabriella has been wonderful since the start and continues to impress us with every subsequent sitting! She treats our dogs and home as if they are her own, and somehow manages to wear out and win over both the most high energy and most unimpressed of our dogs. Our oldest has shown her his playful side and our youngest is willing to slow down and cuddle on the sofa with her - both huge feats! I can't say enough good things about our experience with Gabriella. She sends us pictures and seems to genuinely enjoy her time with our pups, and it just makes our trips more enjoyable knowing our dogs are so happy and taken care of so well!”
“Melissa is amazing! She stayed with my pup who required extra attention due to his separation anxiety and he’s grieving the loss of his sister of all 11 years of his life. She provided lots of updates during her stay and lots of pictures. Walker looked happy and extremely well cared for in every single one. I was very anxious about leaving him since he required extra attention and is on some new meds but Melissa was wonderful and I never wondered for a second how things were going while I was away. I know we have a new friend who we will rebook with any time. Thank you, Melissa!!”
“Our pups had a safe and fun week with Shelby. She made sure they were fed, exercised and got lots of love and cuddle time. Our youngest pup who is still pretty shy with new people warmed up to Shelby very quickly.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my experience with many different pets. I’m also studying veterinary care in college, so I have special knowledge about puppy training and senior pet care. This makes me confident in providing the best care tailored to each pet’s needs. Balancing school at Volstate and work, I make sure to set aside regular time each day and week for pet care. I prioritize feeding, playtime, and cleaning, fitting these tasks into my routine so pets get consistent attention and care even with a busy schedule. I provide loving care by feeding, playing, cleaning litter boxes, and giving medications if needed, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home.
About: I love going on walks and hikes with dogs. My dog is a senior dog now at 12 years old and has hip issues. She doesn’t get to do that anymore. I know how much dogs love to walk. I recently retired a few months ago, so my schedule is pretty flexible to meet the needs of the clients. I have to be busy. I have a fenced in yard myself but I go out with my own dog. I will go out with your dog as well to ensure safety.
“Chantel is pure magic. She went above and beyond in her care for my pup and kitten. She loved on them and took truly the best care of them- don’t tell my mother, better than my own family! She also went the extra mile in the way she cared for my house. If you want peace of mind and the best care for you animals, look no further than Chantel ♥️”
“Jericho was great - Very responsive and friendly. Our dog Willow had a blast, and was well taken care of while we were out of town. 10/10, would recommend her for dog/house-sitting.”
“Cashmere was a great fit for my big dog and our family. She came by ahead of time to meet our pup and get comfortable with his routine and her surroundings which was great. I received pictures and updates throughout our trip and she did a good job of pivoting in the crazy heat to play more n the backyard vs take him on longer walks which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend her without hesitation.”
About: I am the youngest of 4 girls and we always got the same pets together. But for some reason, my pets always lived the longest! I like to think its because I took the time to train, play and love on my pets. When my family got our first dog, Kovu, I quickly became his best friend (after my dad, of course). I trained him on how to sit, down, shake, spin and roll over. We got a second dog, Hercules, who I taught all those tricks to as well as beg! I also taught Kovu how to retrieve their dog bowls for dinner and to help carry bags of trash to the trashcan or groceries to the house. I have experience with anxious dogs from a family dog and my former roommate’s dog who was very skiddish. My Husband and I rescued two dogs, Jax and Milo. They too, know all the tricks I taught my family dogs. I also did a 6-week training program with Jax to address his behavioral issues so I have some experience training a dog with destructive behavior, the tendency to run out the door and handling a mildly reactive dog. Jax and Milo have learned to be great around our baby and love him! I’m a full time mom to a little one so as long as your pets are friendly with children, I can do drop ins, walks and dogsit as long as the dogsitting does not require me to stay overnight. If you have a fenced yard, I’ll make sure to get them plenty outside time for play. If not, I’m happy to take them for walks. I’ll make sure to clean up after them so your home stays nice and tidy while you are away.
About: It is important to me to build strong trust with clients who need a caring and reliable petsitter. As a pet owner myself I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet alone with someone, and I aim to prove that it is ok if you find the right person! My schedule is very flexible currently so I can definitely work with you to find time to care for your pet! If I am given enough headsup in advance I can do early mornings to evenings depending on the task required. I can do majority of tasks required for caring for pets such as feeding, taking out to use the bathroom, providing medications, or just providing company!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Millersville is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Millersville
I can only say wonderful things about Brittany. She stayed with my pets for 10 days while I was on a business trip overseas. I received photos of my pets from her throughout my trip, and I returned to very happy pets and a truly immaculate house - in fact, it was cleaner and better organized than when I left. One of the top experiences I’ve had with a pet/ housesitter - very highly recommended.
Shannon was absolutely incredible with our three German Shorthaired Pointers! From the moment we connected, she was professional, communicative, and clearly experienced with high-energy dogs. Managing one GSP is a task in itself, and she handled all three with ease, patience, and genuine care. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were not only well taken care of, but truly happy and comfortable in her care. When we returned, everything was in perfect shape, and the dogs were relaxed and content. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be using Shannon again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and all-around amazing pet sitter!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Abby was wonderful with my dog, Angel! She was kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I felt completely at ease knowing Angel was in such good hands while I was away. Abby kept me updated and treated Angel like her own. I couldn’t be happier and would definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Millersville is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $89 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 2,310 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.
