“Meighan was great with my very needy dog! It put my mind at ease while traveling to know my dog was in such great hands! I came back to a very clean home and a happy dog. Thanks so much, Meighan!”
“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!”
“Candice is great with our dog, for the past 2 years and now here on Rover. Maple gets so excited to see her like her long lost Bestie. She, spends time quality time outside playing with her, loving on her, hanging out & even waters my garden if we are gone for an extended time.”
About: I’ve worked & volunteer at shelters for about 5 years and have experience working with different types of dogs such as reactive, fearful, shy and friendly; as well of many different breeds. I was crossed trained as a veterinary assistant and have given medication before. I’ve earn my CCTBS (Certified Canine Training and Behavior Specialist) with the Animal Behavior Institute and I’m in my last quarter to compete my Advanced Canine Certification as well as my Feline Certification. I offer both Dog & Cat training services! I do have a full time job that is in the evening however this gives me ample time to provide quality care such as play time and long walks in the morning and checking on them late at night for one last potty break and ensuring everything is locked up so your pet is safe & sound. If you leave detailed instructions, I will follow them to a T. I can also provide photos frequently to show your pet having fun and relaxing at home safely. If a concern arises, I will immediately notify you no matter how small. You can always reach out about anything and everything, I love communicating and would want the same if someone was caring for my animals.
“She was absolutely great! Very trustworthy and a great communicator to both people and puppies. She made our trip stress free by watching over our dogs and staying at our place. Absolutely will chose Rebecca again if she's not booked up. Thank you very much!”
“We have had to be out of town several times in the last couple of months. We have had Shalene watch Ozzie three times and he really seems to have a good bond with her. She is flexible and easy to work with.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, and I always strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd mix, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and high-energy dogs. I’ve also administered medications to my own dogs when needed and always follow care instructions carefully. Beyond caring for my own pets, I’ve looked after many friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. I also rescued one of my own dogs, which gave me experience helping an adult dog adjust to a new home, build confidence, and replace unwanted habits with positive behaviors through patience and consistent training. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your dog prefers a relaxing walk or an active adventure, I’ll tailor their care to their individual needs while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. If I’m providing house sitting, I just ask for about two hours each day to care for and exercise my own dogs while my husband is at work. Outside of that, I’m committed to following your pet’s normal routine and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and any special instructions so they receive the care they’re used to. Whether we’re out on a walk or spending time at home, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog for a walk, or house sitting, I’ll provide attentive, compassionate care while doing my best to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I’d also be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Jocelyn was an incredible house sitter when she stayed and watched our cat, Freyja during our vacation! Our usual house sitter had to cancel on us around 2/3ish weeks before our trip and so we reached out to Jocelyn to see if she was available. She was so sweet and set up our meet and greet promptly! During the stay, Jocelyn was an excellent communicator and shared regular updates and photos with us, which made us feel so comfortable with her watching our girl, Freyja. Additionally, Jocelyn left the apartment nice and tidy, which was so great to come home to. Overall, we were so happy with Jocelyn watching our cat child!”
“Tanner is absolutely the best! He stayed in our home with Willy while we were out of town, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to care for him. Tanner went above and beyond, taking Willy on walks, playing with him, giving him plenty of attention, and making sure he was happy and comfortable while we were away. Tanner is incredibly kind, polite, professional, and clearly knowledgeable when it comes to caring for pets. He also took excellent care of our home and somehow left it in even better shape than when we left! We would wholeheartedly recommend Tanner to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. We will absolutely be using him again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our Willy, Tanner! 🐾”
“Macie was hired to look after my geriatric cat and young dog. She did an amazing job with both, especially my cat who needs a lot of care. My house was left very clean, which I also appreciated. I would hire Macie again without hesitation. I highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer was great! Milo was very comfortable and well taken care of. She sent us picture updates. She even washed the sheets and remade the bed!! Above and beyond. We will be asking her again.”
“Nevaeh did a wonderful job watching Archie. She was responsible, communicative, and sent plenty of updates and photos which I appreciated. She was quick to reach out with questions and concerns, and was an excellent problem solver. Nevaeh also left my house sparkling clean which was an amazing extra touch to come home to. I loved that I was not worried about Archie and feel that Nevaeh is a trustworthy sitter.”
“Honestly, we were very uneasy about leaving our babies with someone that we didn't previously know. When we met Lauren, we instantly felt at ease and our animals instantly loved her. She went out of her way to come over and spend some quality time to get to know us and our animals. She, very responsibly, took the initiative to reach out to us about our second meet and greet when we were running a little behind on planning it. Lauren was so sweet and loving in caring for our Chihuahua during an unexpected thunderstorm. She was very concerned for her and the other animals, wanting to know how she could help them through it. She kept us updated and sent us cute pictures of our babies every day. Overall, Lauren was very responsible and made it a very positive experience for us and our animals. We want to plan another trip so we can hire her again!”
About: I have over five years of experience in professional dog sitting. Having taking care of dogs from 12 weeks old to over 17 years.

I have experience taking care of pets in many different situations, and will actively communicate to make sure everything is done to your standards, and all of your pet’s needs are met.
“Julie was absolutely amazing! We moved not long ago and are still getting settled and we came home to a clean, organized house that is much better than how we left it. Julie took great care of our two dogs and sent us lots of pictures. She said she likes to keep busy and used free time to weed or clean. A dream house/dog sitter!”
“Amanda was great. Pictures every day with very happy dogs. A very good communicater. Our home looked just like it did when we left. We are very happy and will use Amanda again. Thank you!!!! Blake and Kathryn”
“Wini is a terrific dog and house sitter. I’m not certain, but I don’t think she ever left our house while she was sitting for us. Which is great; our two shepherds were seldom (if ever) alone. She gave us plenty of feedback during her stay, and it was clear she enjoyed our dogs. It was also clear from her updates and photos that our dogs didn’t deviate one bit from their normal routine. This is *SO* much better than kenneling them. There are some great kennel operations around Spokane, but nothing comes close to this. When we returned, I’m not sure our dogs even missed us (kinda sad about that part!). Our house was left in immaculate condition. Wini gets our highest commendation, and we will be inviting her back.”
“Tierra provided excellent care for our 14 month old mini dachshund who is a velcro pup! I will definitely want to book Tierra again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Vanessa is pleasant and down to earth. Took good care of our fur babies for a night and provided walks and photos of their time together. We will be asking for her services in the future.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Millwood is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Millwood
First time user of the Rover app and we had Rachel over to our house for 6 days to watch our 2 goldens. It was a perfect match. She brought her Golden with her and they all got along so well. 2 swimming trips to the river and lots of play time at our house. She treated our dogs like they were her own. Lots of daily communication, videos and pictures made us feel at ease with having someone that we barely knew, watch over our house and dogs. There was even a new dog toy and chews left behind for the boys. Do no hesitate to book Rachel for any of your pet sitting needs. We will definitely reach out to her again when the time comes for another booking.
I would recommend Vanessa to anyone who is looking for an amazing dog sitter, she sat with my boys for 5 days and I didn’t worry one bit, she sent pics twice a day and checked in which was great so I was able to relax knowing they were in great hands. When we got home my our house was in better condition than when we left. Thank you Vanessa!! I will definitely book you again.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Millwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Millwood on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 766 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
