“We have a 1.5 y/o puppy and a 14.5 y/o dog who have very different needs. Amanda seemed to navigate that with ease and was very good about asking questions in both the intro meeting and during the first stay.”
“Sophia is absolutely amazing! Great communication and sent all the pictures of the fur kids when I was away. My little pack absolutely loved her and my cat has always ran from strangers but my cat hasn’t left her side. Will book again and already hoping to book her again for my next upcoming trip.”
“Except for the fact that our dogs were happy to see us, you wouldn’t know that we had ever left. Everything was neat as a pin and the dogs seemed quite content. Carla had good communication and was very professional. I would highly recommend her.”
“Nazeerah was AMAZING. We have a timid, people-selective wolfhound. He sounds intimidating when he gets scared. She was so respectful of his boundaries and allowed him the time to approach her on his terms. By the end of the weekend, she was petting him and he was cuddling with her. Our other dog loved her from start. This speaks volumes about her character, dogs know good people. The most important thing she did though was put my mind at ease so I could be fully present on our family get together and not be concerned about what was happening at home. She provided updates and pictures of all my animals (goats, chickens, dogs and cats) several times a day. Our only heat source is a woodstove and even though the stove can be temperamental, she worked the problem and kept it going. We have had many house sitters over the years but never one as conscientious and caring as Nazeerah. I think the dogs were disappointed when we showed back up instead of her. She is truly an animal lover and more importantly, knows how to put their owners at ease by providing love to their fur babies. We recommend her to everyone and will definitely have her come back again.”
“Sean was a wonderful sitter for our often anxious large dog. He kept our dog happy and comfortable while we were gone on a long trip, and kept our plants watered as well. He communicated daily with great pictures and updates, and was thoughtful in his suggestions regarding how to keep our dog happy and healthy while we were gone. Our house was in great shape when we returned, and our dog has a trusted friend. I won’t hesitate to contact Sean the next time we leave town!”
“I can't say enough how much I appreciate and love Ashten & Shelby! They did amazing with my pup as always and even earned some kitty cuddles which is very rare for my cats when they're around strangers. as an employee of Rover, this is the experience i hope for all Rover users”
“she was amazing!! had a great meet and greet, updated us while we were gone, and left a thank you note as we left a ‘welcome’ note. it was a place having her watching our pet kids and we are looking forward to her next visit with us :)”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Julie provided for our three dogs. Her responsiveness to our emails and texts along with being very conscientious to our pets’ needs gave us peace of mind while we were away. The dogs were happy, healthy and most importantly, safe, when we returned home. We have already booked her for an upcoming trip. We highly recommend Julie if you want a responsible, caring pet sitter.”
“Melissa is an incredible pet sitter! I was so anxious about leaving my dog for the day, as she had recently had some injuries and I needed someone who would be willing to give her medication and approach her with a lot of gentleness and care. Melissa eased my mind while I was gone, and I will absolutely be asking her back when I need someone to come hang out with Dolly!”
“Cadie was great! Took care of my pets and plants and problem-solved when a portion of the fence broke during a windstorm. I will definitely be reaching out to her next time I need my pets watched!”
“Meighan did an amazing job watching our fur babies. The older one has lots of medical issues and Meighan did an amazing job with him. She also sent us pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend.”
“Ryan is a great sitter! He took great care of our pups, sent us lots of pictures and videos and went the extra mile to care for our home as well! He is very engaging, kept the "kids" entertained, took them for a long walk and spent a ton of play time with them. Best indication: they were pooped when we got home. :) We can't wait to have him sit for us again!”
“Rebecca was very friendly and informative while watching our little Luka. She kept in touch and followed up on everything. Thank you for watching little luka and for being so flexible!”
“Macie is excellent. Easy to communicate with from the beginning. Efficient in meeting us and our pup. Helped us integrate into Rover as newbies. Communicated well with us during our travels. We got great photos and updates. Our home was left clean and in perfect order. We will be rebooking.”
“Meaghan was great with our little girl! We had a last minute trip, and Meaghan was just who we needed as a pet and house sitter. She was flexible and communicated every day. We received daily reports with pictures so we knew how Tahlia’s days and nights went. Meaghan took great care of our house, and spent nights so that Tahlia had a constant companion.”

Jenny was great with my 2 dogs! She was always on time, great communication, and was very good with both my puppy and my more difficult adult male dog who is reactive on leash and can be mouthy. She is wonderful with my dogs and has been a repeat sitter and walker for me and I will continue to rehire her in the future!
Skyla was so professional and communicative. She was also incredibly caring and responsible. She sent us daily updates and our house was immaculate upon our return. Our dogs were extremely well cared for and I will definitely be asking Skyla for another booking.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Millwood on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 758 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Millwood. 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 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 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.

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.
