“Monique was absolutely amazing! We have many animals and she gave them the best love and care. This was our first time using Rover and she eased us through the process and made us feel at ease. She was fabulous giving all the medications and treating our animals like her own. She texts and sends pictures regularly to give us updates throughout the day. She went above and beyond taking care of our home as well. We will be choosing her for every future vacation, especially since our dogs were sad when she left, they loved her so much! Truly blessed to have found her!”
“Sean did a great job taking care of our dog and our cat. He communicated with us when needed and/or expected and sent us pictures while we were gone. Our pets like him and seem very comfortable with him. He was even willing to give our cat medicine twice a day, which isn't easy, but he said it went well. He stayed at our house and kept everything very neat and clean. We are very happy with his service and will ask him to take care of our pets again.”
“Amanda was absolutely excellent! She communicated throughout our stay if there were any questions or issues. We came home to a clean house and happy pups so I would definitely recommend her to others to house sit and take care of their dogs! We already have her booked for our next trip. Thanks so much Amanda for taking such good care of our babies 🥰🥰”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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! 🐾”
“Rebecca took great care of our 2 dogs, cat, and house. She was very responsive and sent us updates every day. I fully trust her to take care of them and will book Rebecca again when we travel next!”
“We used Damien for just a short 2 night trial trip and was great. One of our dogs gets very excitable when first meeting someone new, jumping up and not listening. She finally settles down, but takes some firm action at first to get her to listen. Damien was very patient but firm and after the first 20 minutes were buddies the rest of the stay, going back to her chill self. He was prompt, followed all instructions and gave lots of quality time with our dogs. We feel we can plan a longer trip now and feel confident dogs will be in good hands. I recommend Damien with confidence.”
“Emma is great!! This was my first Rover experience and I was a little nervous going into it, but I completely trusted Emma with my pets. She provided my dog and cat with a lot of quality care, attention, and cuddles. She also was very accommodating with my schedule and communicated very well.”
“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.”
“Our Family had a fairly long trip and did not want to put our dogs in a different location. Looking on Rover we found Phillip who responded right away. Our trip was through Thanksgiving and that was not a problem for him. He came over to meet our two dogs and they took to him right away. Received updates from him even though for us maybe a little more communication would have been nice but the over-all experience was really good. When we returned back from our trip and he dropped off our house key the dogs were so very excited to see him. Normally when we are gone and come back our dogs tend to not be themselves for a while. We got right back into things with them like we never left. Thanks for taking such good care of our girls.”
“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.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Millwood is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Millwood
Rachel was awesome! StanLee is a sweet little guy, but he also operates at a fairly high level of anxiety and has some very specific opinions about life. Rachel handled him perfectly. He got stroller rides, adventures at the river, plenty of time running around, and, most importantly for StanLee, lots of companionship and attention. Rachel communicated with me throughout his stay and sent plenty of pictures, so I always knew he was happy and well cared for. I’m pretty sure StanLee thought he was on vacation and I was the one being boarded. Thank you, Rachel, for taking such great care of my pal! We’ll absolutely be calling you again for StanLee’s next getaway.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Millwood. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
