“New to town and had an out of town wedding to attend. Georgina stayed with my dog Angus for the weekend and cared for him. She was punctual, took detailed notes on my dog’s care during the meet and greet and left the place spotless. It can be such a stressful thing finding someone who will look after a beloved pet while away. Georgina made the experience stress free.”
“Lynda was the most accommodating and considerate house sitter. She met with us several times prior to our departure and became familiar with both our dogs. My pups were well cared for and we got daily updates with pictures. The added bonus was I returned to an immaculate clean house - I highly recommend Lynda as a reliable and loving friend to your pets when you are out of town.”
“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!”
“Hanna has watched our pups several times and is fantastic! Both our puppy and middle aged dog love when she stays over. Hanna gets our dogs out for exercise and keeps in touch through pictures and updates of their adventures. She communicates well and is accommodating. Highly recommended!”
“Holly house sat with our 2 dogs for several days and was amazing. She was super proactive with communications, sent several pictures showing very happy dogs, was responsive and left the house as clean as we left it. We will most definitely use her again.”
About: I’m reliable, gentle, and easy for pets to relax around. I follow routines well and give your pet consistent comfort and attention while you’re away! I’m completely available on Sundays and Mondays. Tuesday–Saturday I work 8–6, but I’m open for morning drop-ins, evening care, and overnights depending on your needs! I make pets feel at home by sticking to their routine, staying attentive, and keeping the environment calm and safe. I’m careful with your space and make sure your pet feels secure and well cared for.
“Eliza is our new favorite sitter! She did an excellent job caring for my reactive/anxious pup, was very communicative, and left the house even better than when she arrived. Would highly recommend Eliza to other pet parents!”
“Maisie is super sweet and took great care of our pups this week. She left the house spotless too! I appreciated her communication and all the pictures she shared. Have already rebooked!”
“Phoebe was great to work with taking care of our two dogs for the day. She is great about keeping in touch and sending pics and super friendly with our dogs. Thank you!”
About: Ever since I was little, friends and family have frequently relied on me for extra pet care. Ranging from taking dogs on walks, to checking in and feeding pets or home sitting while owners enjoy their vacation, I have done all types of pet care! I work on trail crews during the summer and do not work in the winter. Therefore I have plenty of availability and throughout the day and on a weekly basis! I always ask owners about the methods they use to take care of their pets and ensure their safety. I will always make sure I treat their pets as they themselves would
About: I grew up taking care of all sorts of animals, have my own dog, and have cared for friend’s dogs of all ages and breeds for years. I work a regular weekday schedule and have Fridays off, which gives me extra flexibility for pet care. I’m also available some weekends for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I take an active and attentive approach to pet care and will make sure your pet(s) get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship during each visit. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine closely, while also keeping an eye out for anything unusual. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away!
“We loved Mackenzi! Our dog took to her immediately and she was attentive and engaged when we showed her our dog’s routine and supplies. Mackenzi has a “can do” attitude and is a natural with animals. We felt at ease on our trip knowing she was in charge back home!”
“Alexus was an amazing house sitter and was so great with our pets! She walked our German shepherd everyday, and took great care of the kitties - one of which was on medication. She sent pics and updates daily. We returned home to an immaculate house, and it was such a relief to know they were in her care and so happy. It made leaving town so much easier and worry free. Thank you, Alexus!!”
“Courtney was FANTASTIC for our two XL pups! She was incredibly responsive, gave us a bunch of updates while we were away, and was great with our boys. House was spotless when we returned and you can really tell she loves being with animals. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Even with a last minute request, Ashling was super accommodating! We came home to happy pets who all seemed very relaxed and like they barely noticed we’d left 🤣 she sent delightful updates and pics, including videos. Would book again!”
About: I have worked with dogs, cats, ducks, guinea pigs, hamsters, and the occasional turtle. I love animals and am a very attentive sitter. I follow schedules to the tea. Pets are just like kids so I always like to make sure they’re taken care of! My favorite thing to do is dog walks. Not only is a walk a day great for keeping the vet away but it also is great exercise for the hooman. The biggest dog I have walked and cared for is a husky and the smallest dog was a chihuahua. I have experience in house sitting and pet care through family and friends and dog owners like you who request my assistance while you relax on vacation. I have cared for their pets for about 6 years now. I also have experience bathing, feeding, walking and play time! P.s. I will provide you with photos of your pet during each visit with owner and fur friend permission. I try to update my schedule as best as I can to keep up with availability accuracy. On my days off, I can care for our furry friends morning, afternoon and evening. Whatever meets your needs! On days that I have a more packed schedule, I still find the time to be as flexible as can be. I follow every instruction given. The more details the better so I can ensure your furry friend feels safe and in comfortable environment. I often find routine and familiarity to be the best ways to provide this so I do my best to ensure I follow every request. I will send you pictures of your furry friend while you are at work or away to hopefully relieve some stress and know they are being taken care of.

FAQs for House Sitting - Milltown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 288 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.
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 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 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.

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.
