“Sarah did a wonderful job with our five year old Boston Terrier. It was the first time we’ve left him with someone and were nervous how he’d react. Sarah did an outstanding job keeping with his schedule and handling his anxiety (and ours). Before staying she visited twice to get everyone comfortable and learn about our dogs’ specific needs and behaviors. During her stay she sent a lot of updates and photos and even indulged us with some FaceTime calls to say hello. By the end of day 1 they were fast friends. She also left the house spotless. I’m so pleased we found Sarah and would call her again to watch out furbaby.”

About: I have plenty of free time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I treat each pet like family, offering personalized care, companionship, and comfort. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you’re away. I enjoy having a routine, and caring for a dog fits perfectly into my day. With my current schedule as a full-time online student, I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and companionship they need. When caring for pets in my home, I keep my own Shih Tzu (8-year-old female) in her own room and take each dog out separately when needed. I ensure they get 2-3 walks a day, feed them as directed, play with them, and allow them to roam freely. I make sure all their needs are met. When taking care of pets in a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions, taking their pet out 2-3 times a day on a walk and feeding as directed.

About: Hello there! After recently saying goodbye to our beloved senior Chihuahua, Moe, our home feels far too quiet without any furry friends. Starting this new chapter in pet care is very exciting, and I'm looking forward to giving your pet a safe and fun place to stay. I am the primary sitter but will be assisted by my girlfriend Sam who lives with me. Your dog will benefit from a multi-person home with plenty of attention and companionship. We have no pets or children so your furry friend will be the king or queen of the house! Whether your pet needs a quiet spot to lounge or energetic play sessions and walks, I am flexible to their personality. I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes for family & friends over the years. I pride myself in being attentive to your pet along with flexible and easy to work with. My goal is to make your pet feel completely at home while allowing you to relax during your travels! I am happy to provide as many updates you would like. My longtime girlfriend and I both work from home everyday! We have plenty of time to care for your pet. We can accommodate your pets schedule however needed. Our home is free roaming and pet friendly. Doggies are welcome in bed or on the couch if they desire. We also have a very large backyard and enjoy walks if that is your pets preference.

About: Full-time dog walker & house sitter in Joliet, IL, focused on reliable, structured care.

About: I’ve been around dogs of all shapes and sizes essentially my entire life. I’ve dog sat for a multitude of family friends as well as caring for my own dogs at home extremely well from training them in their puppy stages all the way to caring for them in their senior lives. I genuinely love all dogs and would be more than happy to help love yours as well! I’m currently a commuting student at DePaul University in Chicago, meaning I travel in and out of the city most of the morning. However, my afternoons are almost always free and I have no classes on Friday’s or during weekends so I’m even more available during them. I help care extensively for my own dog at home as well as having experience caring for dogs in an overnight stay setting with various family friends as well, so staying overnight for a dog is no issue in anyway to me.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for many years and had multiple pets growing up. Fed, brushed, loved, and cared for many family members/neighbors animals I am typically available for whatever times, I just need to be notified 3 days before booking. Might accept 1 day before but it depends on the situation and if I’m available. I would follow instructions that were left for everything the pet needs by the owner. But if no instructions are left I would of course feed them twice a day if they are adults and leave the bowl for free feeding for puppies/kittens. Take on walks as needed, clean up the litter box, clean the water bowl and make sure there’s clean water. Play with the animal for a bit as well.

About: 🚨PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING 🚨 Hey there! 🐾 Caring for animals isn’t just something I do - it’s truly the heartbeat of my everyday life. I’ve poured my whole heart into 𝘍𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘵 𝘚𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 - a personal project I started out of love for animals and a desire to create a safe, clean, happy place for them. Through that journey, i’ve been able to care for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs, and it’s taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and the joy animals bring into our lives 🥰 Over the years, i’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies just learning the ropes - to senior dogs needing gentle routines + extra support. I’m confident handling multiple dogs at once, caring for pets with special diets or medical needs, and maintaining the structure and consistency that helps your babies feel comfortable while your away. I treat every fur baby like family. I know the trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously 💛 ALL dogs must be up to date on all their vaccines + must be on a flea preventative. Making sure that they’re all protected while in my care is important to me - health + safety comes first 💉 My days are always full walks, treats, happy chaos, and lots of love 💕 I’ve built my days around family, school, and animals - which means caring for pets flows right into everything I do. I love being outdoors, staying active, and having a routine - which makes caring for pets the perfect daily companions. I start our mornings off with a nice walk - lots of playtime out back in the backyard throughout the day - and a nice walk, after dinner, to wind down for the night. During + inbetween, i’m juggling being a full time student working towards my bachelors + keeping lit little flock of chickens happy at home 🐓 I’ve mastered balancing schedules while making sure your fur baby feels seen, safe, and loved. Your babies routine becomes my routine - they’ll always have me by their side ✨ When your fur babies are with me, they’re in a space designed just for them - clean, cozy, and full of love 🐾 I keep everything clean + pet safe. I use gentle, pet friendly cleaning supplies and candles that keep the house fresh without ever putting pets at risk. I also provide safe play spaces, cozy resting spots, and a lot of supervision to make sure everyone feels right at home🫶🏽 When i’m in your home, I bring that same level of respect + care - sticking to your routines, keeping spaces tidy, and giving your babies the consistency they need to feel secure 🔐

About: I love animals. I have owned a horse, birds and fish. Although I never owned a dog or cat, Friends and family have always asked me to pet sit and I have always been more than happy to ablige. As a former letter Carrier, my favorite customers were four-legged. I am retired and want to stay active. Who can keep you more fit and active than a dog that is waiting for a walk-date? When I have dog sat, I usually go for multiple walks. I can walk all day. The dogs love it and it makes them tired. Animals need mental stimulation outside of their house or yard just like people. I try to find things to keep us both busy and happy.

FAQs for House Sitting - Millsdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,293 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Millsdale. 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 Millsdale 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 Millsdale 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 Millsdale 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Millsdale. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
