“Angelica did a great job house sitting our dogs. She was a great communicator and sent lots of updates. She cleaned up after our dogs and left our home in good order. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets.”
“Kerry is very sweet. She sending us a Pictures of Max allthe time and anytime I wanted to check on Max she was available and answered right away. She is very nice and kind. I would highly recommend her!!!!”
“Katherine was recommended to us from close friends and was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our Maltipoo, Bella, while we were away. We received a photo and daily updates, which gave us a peace of mind. Katherine is pleasant, trustworthy, communicative and clearly loves animals. We came home to a happy Bella. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Auriel was absolutely wonderful with our furbabies. From the moment she arrived, she was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring toward each of our four animals. She took the time to learn their individual personalities and quirks, and it showed in how quickly they warmed up to her. They absolutely loved her, and we could tell they felt safe and happy in her care. She kept us updated and gave us peace of mind while we were away, which meant so much to our family. Knowing our pets were in such good hands made all the difference. We would recommend Auriel without hesitation and will definitely be calling on her again!”
“Jenny was the best pet sitter I have ever used! Our doggo has a little bit of separation anxiety at first, but she was very patient and let him warm up to her. She took tons of pictures, videos, and sent lots of updates. I knew Gus was in great hands. I would highly recommend Jenny!”
“Gislene is a wonderful person and I cannot recommend her enough! I loved the update pictures and was very happy to have such a reliable person to leave my dogs with.”
“Chasity went above and beyond for my two dogs! She kept me posted throughout the whole weekend on how the dogs were doing. Even stayed later than I booked, she’s amazing and I will definitely be using her in the near future! Thanks Chasity for caring for my babies like they are your own!”
“Larianna looked after my Bulldog for a week while I was away. She took great care of him and sent lots of pictures and videos. She is really good about communicating and I would recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their fur babies.”
“This is my first time using Rover and Amber; I will never put my dog in any boarding/pet hotel/ doggy daycare again!! Amber did such a wonderful job with Milo, he got personal attention, long walks and kept his schedule all in his own home. When we boarded him, it would take a couple of days just to get “Milo” back to his normal self, but when we got back today he was his normal self thanks to Amber’s excellent care. Amber also took great care of our home while we were away, keeping everything neat and clean, including laundering the bath towels and bedding used while staying here. Any apprehension we initially had using Rover for the first time has been put to rest, and Amber is a great choice to care for your pet and your home!!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have been working as a practice manager for 10 years. I will treat your baby like my own. I am very flexible and will cater to any of your pets needs. Fully capable of taking care of multiple dogs at one time. Will respond to texts or calls immediately. I have a flexible schedule and will be able to take care of your pet early morning or late evening. I can do dog boarding as well. I have a fenced in yard with a locked gate and a friendly dog who will keep yours company! With having multiple years of veterinary experience I have that knowledge if something were to ever go wrong.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, including dogs, cats, senior pets, and pets with special routines. I have two dogs and a three-legged cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone patient, attentive, and trustworthy caring for your pets. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, crate routines, medication reminders, basic grooming needs, and giving pets the time they need to feel safe. My background in healthcare and the military has also made me very detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and good at following instructions carefully. I know pets are family, and I treat them with the same care and respect I would want someone to give mine. I’m not currently working outside of caring for pets so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, boarding, and house sitting depending on your pet’s routine. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, potty breaks, medications, walks, playtime, crate time, and bedtime routines. Because my schedule is open, I can give pets more one-on-one care and help keep their day as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my biggest priorities. I have a fenced yard and can provide supervised potty breaks, playtime, and quiet rest time. Because I have pets of my own, I’m careful with introductions and can keep animals separated with crates, doors, or gates whenever needed. I never force interactions and always pay attention to each pet’s body language, stress level, and comfort. I’m also very careful with feeding instructions, medications, leash safety, doors, gates, and routines. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I want you to feel confident that they are being watched closely, treated kindly, and cared for like family.
About: I have owned cats, dogs, crested geckos, a jumping spider, rabbits, mice, fish, frogs, ducks, and chinchillas. I have a big heart for animals and have always had an animal in my life. I have primarily had medium to large dogs but love little dogs too. I've had experience with dogs and cats in all stages of life and have experience hand feeding and dealing with medications with meals. I am not afraid of any breeds and am comfortable with all animals. I am excited to meet your fur baby! I am a full time nurse PRN and mom to an 18 month old little boy. I choose when to work and only pick up if I'm not house sitting or boarding someone's baby that way I'm home to give all the love and attention to fur babies. I am able to take my son to daycare monday through friday also so I can focus on your furry friends. I can watch your fur babies in the comfort of their own home whether it be frequent stops in the day or a stay overnight. I can stop in for meals, potty breaks, play time, and walks.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Milligan
Amiyah did everything we asked her to with regard to being home for our 2 dogs and 3 cats. She spent time with them outside and they seemed to enjoy her company. We really appreciated her being at our home overnight and the majority of the time we were away. She made it easy to get updates and let us know of any concerns or questions.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Milligan 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 Milligan 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 Milligan 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
