“Emma did a great job of making a connection with our dog. It was apparent he felt comfortable with her. We really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent to us regularly. Thank you!”
“Just came home to happy dogs and the house just the way we left it! Thank you for taking such great care of our dogs who hate being left alone. We got several photos throughout the week and it seemed the dogs were in great hands.”
“Monique did an amazing job with my two dogs, Annie and Oakley. Communications was great the entire time and it was so helpful in making me feel at ease while we were away. They went on great walks and loved their time with her. House was in perfect condition when we got home which is always nice. Thanks Monique!!!”
“Laura was the purrfect sitter for our little kitten Dio! She was extremely professional, kept us updated with lots of photos, and left our place clean and in pristine condition! We hope she will be up to watch him again in the future because I think Dio was a huge fan 🐈”
“Rachel was amazing! She had great communication the entire time and we loved the updates she sent us. Sadie (my dog) was well taken care of and we would definitely have Rachel dogsit again.”
“Rosemary was very sweet and incredibly thorough when asking questions during our original meetup. That made me feel assured she was going to take great care of our pups, which she did! She stayed at our house while we were gone and took great care of that too. You couldn't even tell she was there! Her communication was great and we felt we could enjoy our time away without worrying. I would highly recommend her and plan to rebook when needed in the future. ☺️”
“Sean takes such good care of my big dog! She always seems happy and cared for. I have always come back to a clean home and I’m able to relax while I’m away knowing Sean is watching my dog!”
“Vanessa did a great job house-sitting for our two dogs, an older corgi and a younger mini Aussie. She got along wonderfully with the dogs despite our Aussie being high energy and pretty anxious. She also kept up great communication with us. We would definitely hire her again!”
About: I am a retired elementary school teacher and I have owned multiple pets for the past 30 years including dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I have also done paid pet sitting and housesitting during my college years. I have a great love for all animals and am experienced in caring for puppies, elderly dogs and every age in between. I would love to take care of your furry friend! I will treat your dog as I would my own. I would love the opportunity to provide a safe and caring environment for your dog and give you peace of mind while you are away. I currently work very part time at home on a flexible schedule so I would have plenty of time to either drop in on or walk your dog(s). I would be very diligent about following your directions when I care for your dog(s) in your home. I would take your dog(s) for walks, play their favorite games and give them an abundance of pets and love.
“Alex was wonderful. Super responsive and responsible. She took really good care of our senior lab. We are grateful for Alex and will definitely contact her next time we need care for our pup.”
“Meaghan is the best! She is very kind, attentive, and made sure to send photos and updates frequently. Meaghan took great care of our home and fur babies, I would be happy to have her over again any time at all!”
“Melissa was wonderful taking care of our three cats! We have a unique situation with an elderly cat and two younger cats who are all on different food and schedules, and she was incredibly accommodating and attentive to their individual needs. She sent lots of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away 😊 We would absolutely hire Melissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter!”
“Great sitter, we had to book last minute and she was the only one available. Great communication, with pictures. House was just as we left it and pets were so happy. Would book her again thank you Sophia!”
“First time using Rover to engage a housesitter to care for our two pups in our home. Based on the many 5 star reviews on Wini's services profile. We did an initial meet and greet at our home before the dates we needed her to housesit. Wini asked a lot of questions about the care and routine for our pups as well as if there were any special needs she needed to be aware of. After our meet and greet, we decided to move forward and book her housesitter services for our 12 yr old senior lab and 5 yr old high energy little terrier mix. Wini is excellent at communicating and updating with photos/videos during our time away from home. House was clean and dogs were happy when we returned. We feel confident in booking her again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Millwood
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Rachel! She stayed at our home for five nights while we were out of the country, and her communication was excellent the whole time. She regularly sent photos and videos of our puppy, Lucy, which we loved getting. Best of all, we felt completely at ease knowing Lucy was getting all the attention and care she needed. Rachel gave us the peace of mind to relax and enjoy our trip. We'd happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter or house sitter.
Vanessa went above and beyond to help our younger pup adjust to the loss of his big brother (who passed only a few days before our trip) while we were away. Before leaving the house, she gave him a frozen treat ball, and walked him twice daily. She even walked him with a friendly, neighbor dog so he’d have some fur companion time. Additionally, she surprised us by washing her bedding and towels! We truly appreciate Vanessa’s energy and efforts, especially given our circumstances.
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.
Haley cared for Gracie over a long weekend, and we are so grateful. She provided extraordinary care for our little french bull dog. This was the first time we left her with a sitter, so I was very relieved that Haley was such a dog lover and really considered Gracie's needs and comfort. She came each day around the same times and provided the routine and nourishment as well as some play time! We are VERY grateful for this team. THANK YOU so much again Haley!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Millwood is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $67 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.
As of October 2026, there are 750 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 , 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.
