“She is a godsend! I have an older very timid dog that really struggles with new people. I honestly was worried that she wouldn’t go outside with the first visit when I wasn’t home. Within two days she she was totally OK with being around Jennie! Jennie has also been so kind to her and mindful, for instance, it was really hot today so she kept her in the grass instead of the pavement. She sits with her even when she’s done with the walk. I could not have asked for a better human to watch my pup! I have her on repeat for drop ins 3x every week while I’m at work and will continue to do so!”
“Lacie is a Super Sitter! She watched our Dude(kitty) for a week and she went so far above and beyond. She took our trash out to the curb on trash day when she noticed our neighbors setting their containers out. She kept the kitty litter area clean and my utility room vacuumed. She also vacuumed the kitchen. She took care of my plants. All of these things on top of the most excellent care of Dude. She was in contact with me anytime she had a question. I couldn't be more impressed with a sitter. I will be asking for Lacie in the future.”
“Denisse did drop-ins to check on my cat and she was great. I could tell my cat really warmed to her and enjoyed being around her! She seems to understand cats very well. I know none of us like to be away from our fur babies, but I definitely felt a little more at ease with Denisse’s detailed updates and photos letting me know how my cat was doing. Overall, Denisse did a fantastic job — she was thorough, communicative, and flexible from start to finish. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“I highly recommend Ana! I’m new to the area and needed someone I could trust to care for my shy cat, Littles, while I was out of state for nine days. He was still adjusting to our recent move and had been stressed by water intrusion issues and all the maintenance visits that followed. Ana was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and set up a meet-and-greet right away. Littles spent most of that first visit hiding behind the couch, but she was patient and determined to win him over. She sent daily photos and updates, and even checked my apartment for water leaks during heavy rain, which gave me so much peace of mind. Within a few days, Littles was curled up in Ana’s lap enjoying all the pets. When I got home, he was relaxed, eating well, and clearly had been well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking Ana again for my September trip and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable pet sitter.”
“Kristen is wonderful!! Communicates clearly, quick to respond, dependable. She doesn't just take our puppy outside to potty, but instead goes the extra mile to play with him so he can get energy out while we're at work. I can't say enough positive things about her-- she's great!”
“Laura was a very kind and caring presence while I was out of town. She took great care of my 2 small dogs. She would drop in to let them out and feed them as I had requested. If you ever want a sitter with a tender heart and attention to detail, reach out to her.”
“Bali was perfect for my two older dogs. She is professional and trustworthy. She went above and beyond by taking out my trash since we were out of town for a while. I already have her booked for my next trip! She took good care of my senior pups.”
“Mallory is the best. She cared for our senior German Shepherd for a week with compassion, no problem giving meds, and constant communication. We will book with her again in a heartbeat.”
“Alex was such a gem! He sent very thorough notes and took lots of pics of our cats when he dropped in:) He did exactly what we instructed him to and we felt very safe having him take care of our babies. Would definitely recommend Alex and will book with him again in the future. He really went above and beyond!”
“Katherine was phenomenal as a sitter for our three cats. It was our first time employing Rover and Katherine as our sitter. She was very thorough with the routine, she was very communicative and our cats really enjoyed spending time with her. She played with them a lot and sent us fun pictures and videos. We did not worry about our babies at all…and we are big worriers. I HIGHLY recommend Katherine and will happily have her take care of our kitties again. I’d say she went over and beyond the call of duty!”
“A+++ Amanda is wonderful with our dogs and very dependable! I would highly recommend her for her professionalism and calm manner. She is on time, communicates and updates me on the dogs, sends pics during her visit, and handles everything beautifully! Very grateful to have found her!”
“Abigail was amazing. She looked after my dog while I was out of town and put my mind to ease. I loved seeing the pictures as well. She is very responsive and accommodating to my schedule change. I highly recommend and will be using her again.”
“Wow! Such a great experience with Jill and Eric. They took such great care of my cat. Sent multiple pics and gave the best commentary! Arrived promptly for each visit. Really great people. Thanks so much. We will definitely use them again!”
“Ryan and Katrina were fantastic. Ryan answered my request within minutes and was able to accommodate my three dogs' needs for visits on multiple days at very short notice. Katrina was great with my dogs and was able to give my 15-year-old Shih Tzu her eye drops. I will be using Ryan and Katrina again for my dogs!”

This was my first time leaving my cat with a service and was somewhat nervous going in, but Megan a Nicole quickly put me at ease. I got a pic every day and they took great care of my baby! I will absolutely book them again and would recommend to anyone with a special cat who needs the best
Lisa & Angie agreed fit a visit in with my pups with short notice after a last minute sitter cancellation. We immediately felt comfortable and confident leaving our dogs in their care. They stayed in communication and shared a detailed report on the visit. We are incredibly grateful and appreciative of their care & would absolutely leave our two dogs in their care in the future!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Mills River on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,296 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mills River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mills River stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
