“Georgina is a fantastic dog/house sitter. She took amazing care of our little chihuahua. He warmed up quickly to Georgina and she sent me lots of photos and updates, which I appreciated! I could tell he was well taken care of while we were gone! She also kept the house clean and went above and beyond and washed the sheets at the end of her stay. I will definitely book Georgina again in the future!!”
About: Lifelong pet owner with 2 years professional experience as a Veterinary Technician and 3 years working in boarding kennels. Experience includes dogs, cats, horses, reptiles and rodents! I have experience with long term petsitting and geriatric pet care and medication administration, as well as emergency response. I have raised a few dogs and cats (and a horse) of my own and have cared for newborn puppies and kittens and medically sensitive pets. Morning and night feeding schedules are no problem, as well as three times a day medication administration if needed. Dogs who love walks and hikes are always great for me, as I have plenty of time to get out in neighborhoods or longer hikes in the mountains if applicable. I am happy to have dogs off leash in hiking environments once trust is established, if applicable. I am happy to give pets as much attention as needed, including take dogs out on walks or car rides. I am also happy with staying with them overnight if needed. I have experience with handling larger more energetic breeds as well as those who are aggressive and/or territorial. I enjoy caring for social cats who enjoy human contact and need company, but am happy to leave them to their independence if they desire. I have dealt with a variety of emergencies both working at a veterinary clinic and caring for elderly and sensitive pets, and am trained in recognizing concerning health issues in dogs and cats. My cat is my best friend in the world and I do everything I can to make sure she is happy and healthy, so I understand when others always want the best care possible for the animals in their life.
“Bryan was fantastic! He took great care of our little girl, and she and his dog Ron truly bonded and had great fun doing various outdoor adventures! We would highly recommend Bryan for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Haley was an absolutely wonderful housesitter! She took exceptional care of all my animals and was incredibly attentive to every detail. She was confident with the horses and patient and respectful with my stand-offish Livestock Guardian Dog, who couldn’t help but warm up to her. I think Haley and my cat are friends for life now:) I felt completely comfortable knowing my animals and home were in such good hands. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her.”
“Chloe took great care of my cat! When I returned home from out of town, my girl seemed totally happy. I get anxious being apart from my cat, but Chloe communicated well and made me feel completely at ease being away from her.”
“Ben is an excellent “dog” person! And when plans go awry he is highly adaptable to not only hiccups in the house-sitting, but also with the pet-sitting arrangements. I have a very smart, 1/2 aussie shepherd-1/2 black lab”
About: I've grown up with animals my whole life! I've taken care of them since I was little! I love meeting new animals and seeing their quirky side! I work full time Wed-Sun from 10-5! I can always check on the animals before and after work and if preferred I can take a break to let them potty! If you have a fence wonderful, if not no worries! I can hook them on the leash and take them for walks around the neighborhood! Whatever your animals loves I can do!
“Elise did a good job of taking care of our house and our pets while we were out of town for two weeks. She was quick to respond to communications, followed instructions, respected our house, and left everything the way it was before we left. The pets didn't even act like they missed us that much, which is a big complement. Thanks!”
“My pets LOVE Holly, they told me so!! She did an amazing job caring for them. She was thorough, her communication was great, and I could tell my critters were in fantastic hands.”
About: I grew up with a love of all animals and have been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I know have a cat and a rat of my own and study wildlife biology at the University of Montana. I also have experience working with many types of animals I have worked at zoos and animal care facilities providing daily diet, care, and enrichment for a number of animals. I am a student at the University of Montana so my schedule is fairly open and I will be willing to change plans and make time to fit jobs into my daily routine. I have an indoor cat and rat at my home. My rat has her own cage and space but gets along great with my cat when I bring her out for a visit.
“Reid took amazing care of Aiko tending to her every need and introducing her to new and fun situations and activities. She’s the same happy girl I left only with more confidence and I’m so grateful for the time and love he gave her. He also housesat for me in Seeley Lake, over an hour away from his home. I know that was a huge ask and Reid actually thanked me for letting him stay here! In a nutshell, Reid is a great guy who took excellent care of both my home and my best buddy and I couldn’t recommend him more highly!”
“Sophia was great! She took wonderful care of our two dogs and one cat. She also stayed in our home which we loved. She took good care of our home and watered my many plants! When the dogs ran out of their meat and wet food she offered to get more at pet store. Going above what we expected! Also we needed an extra night for her to watch the animals she agreed without hesitation! Definitely would recommend her! Oh, and she sent us pictures everyday! Thank you very much Sophia!!”
“Eva was fantastic! She accommodated a last-minute booking to watch Chevron in my home. She took great care of Chevron, making sure she got plenty of attention and exercise. Eva communicated frequently and sent lots of updates via text, photo, and video. She took great care of my space. It's nice to have a reliable sitter and we look forward to working with Eva again in the future!”
About: In the past year Ive started volunteering at the Humane Society outside Missoula working with dogs and working on my dog handling skills. Along with basic training skills. Growing up with pet dogs all my life Ive had small and large dogs so Im familiar with both. And understand they they both require different approaches to things as big dogs might like long runs in the feild whereas smaller dogs might like a slower walk around the block. I've also picked up the new hobby of making homemade dog treats for the dogs in my family all the treats are made with organic ingredients like apple sauce, carrots and cinnamon, and sometimes mint to help fight bad breath. In my family we have a dog with a allergy to chicken so I'm pretty familiar with dog allergies and some special needs.
“Naomi was great! We went home for the holidays for 2 weeks, and our usual boarding arrangement fell through. This put us in a bind and we were worried to leave our high energy German Shepherd with someone we didn't know. But after a meet and greet with Naomi we were definitely put at ease. She house sat for us and made sure our girl was well taken care of. She sent plenty of updates with pictures and videos, and she left our place sparkling clean. We will definitely be reaching out to Naomi again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 298 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Milltown. 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 Milltown 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 Milltown 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 Milltown 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.
