“This was my 1st time using Rover and having someone new babysit the dogs. It went perfect ✨. Gunner was shy at first , which i thought he would be. But she worked with him to make him comfortable and I’m so thankful for that. It made my trip less anxious! I got several pictures & updates throughout the day, which I was appreciative of. Thank you again Courtney, & I hope to work with you in the future. 😊”
About: I’ve taken care of and owned all kinds of animals, farm, rodents, birds, reptiles, insects, amphibians, exotics, as well as typical pets! I also have experience giving special care and/or medication to dogs, cats, bunnies, and more. I personally have 3 cats, 2 guinea pigs, and a hedgehog! I work part-time 2 days a week so I have lots of time to spend with your babies without you having to worry about quality of care! I will accommodate your animals to the best of my ability to keep to their normal routine including giving some overnight snuggles to anxious babies!
About: I grew up with dogs and cats who were always my best friends! From big guard dogs to sleeping kittens I love them all. I began watching other people’s furry friends when I was stationed overseas in the military as a way to bring joy and a sense of peace to my routine, and I haven’t looked back since! I currently work full time, however I enjoy pet sitting/walking in the evenings and on weekends! I’m always able to leave work during lunch to stop in for a bathroom break or quick play time if needed. I’m completely comfortable with any and all pet species, ages, and sizes. I have experience with giving medications and would love to tailor to your pets specific needs/routine!

About: Dogs are my passion.A dogs happiness is my happiness. I currently work at a dog daycare/boarding facility and I have worked with training dogs, dog sitting etc for a little over 4 years. I currently work part time, and watch, walk and welcome dogs anytime after 12 on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. Your pet will be more than welcome and I’ll accommodate your pet anyway I can. I have a fenced in yard, and two amazingly friendly dogs, also I can crate your dog if you prefer. I have a large kennel, or if you prefer to bring your own. Whatever the client prefers.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs or cats since I was growing up and my parents needed some help! I used to consistently Rover during my summers home from college and now that I’ve been traveling for work for about 4 years without dogs or cats of my own I would like to get back into it! I helped with multiple different breeds of dogs and am comfortable with most! I currently have two guinea pigs but am willing to help with most types of pets! I can also take your dogs on a run or a walk, whatever their pace prefers! I am currently working 7:30-5:30 Monday through Thursday and 8-12 on Fridays and can be flexible working around these hours or on the weekends as well! I prefer to watch your pets in your home or take them on a walk due to currently renting my home. I do have a fenced in yard and may be able to watch your dog here or in our screened in porch area if the weather allows.
About: I’ve been around dogs/cats since i was able to walk, I absolutely adore any animal i cross paths with because they show nothing but unconditional love. When family members/friends/coworkers take vacations etc I am always the first to be asked because they know i will give their fur baby the best care while they are away. I’m a 911 dispatcher & tend to have days off during the week/weekends. I can be found helping tend to puppies with my dad, which can be quoted the handful, hanging out with his outside kitty’s or being a couch potato with my roomies dog at home. My dog Athena is 4 yrs old, she is kennel trained, potty trained & knows all the basic commands, along with being the best dog anyone could ask for. A lot of people say it but my animals are quite literally my entire world, so if the opportunity ever arose where someone trusted me to watch their animals, i wouldn’t hesitate to show the sweet babies so much love & care!
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have experience with young, senior, active, and working dogs. My family dog growing up was born deaf and with a thyroid condition so I am very familiar with medication admission or other disabilities. My husband and I often work different shifts so someone is often home with the dog(s). I have no problem moving work around to care for your furbaby! I have a fenced in yard and large home. There is only one dog and plenty of room for the dogs to stretch their legs or spread out. I am active and will run or walk your pet!
About: Responsible and compassionate, I am a 27-year-old dog lover with extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. As the owner of a German Shepherd for the past seven years, and through fostering and adopting other dogs, I have developed a deep understanding of canine care and behavior. I also worked for over a year at My Three Dogs daycare and boarding facility, supervising groups of 30+ large dogs. Passionate about animals and the outdoors, I bring reliability, patience, and genuine care to every dog I work with. Im free any day of the week for services. Im a big outdoor person and have a passion for dogs and what they are in need of. I have a big fenced in yard for your pet to run around in. My dog will also keep your pet company and occupied while I'm there.
About: I've grown up surrounded by animals my entire life and have always loved loving on them. I'm a mom of two pups and I pet sit for friends and family regularly so I have plenty of references to go around! I have a very flexible schedule so you can trust that I will be able to make taking care of your pet the highest priority every single time! Taking care of your pet is a privilege. I know just how precious they are to us and treat them all as if they were my own. With love, and patience!

Robert is so reliable and takes such good care of our pets and our home. This time we needed to start a day earlier than we had booked and he handled it without any trouble. He even cleaned up cat vomit without hesitation. Our cat has been having health issues and I am confident Robert would take him to the vet if needed and handle anything that comes up.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Millwood is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $60 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Millwood 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 Millwood 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 Millwood 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
