“Liah was great to have watch Finn at our house. She was incredibly professional and communicative. Finn, and the house, were in great shape when we got home.”

“Eryn took great care of our dog and our house. She made sure he got enough walks and had everything he needed. We will definitely ask Eryn to take care of our dog again.”

“Krystal was excellent! Very responsive and communicative. Took great care of our older pup AND she left our home so clean and beautiful! It’s so nice to have a housesitter that takes such nice care of you pet and home!! Thank you Krystal!”
“I reached out to Lora because our original sitter had canceled last minute. She was very responsive and flexible, and we booked it. Despite our dogs being a bit crazy the day she came-because we were finishing packing- she handled it really well. An hour after we left, she texted me and said they had calmed down. She did awesome- she walked and hiked them everyday, and they were happy and exhausted. I think she took amazing care of them, and updated me throughout. They were obsessed with her! I am so grateful to have had Lora be our pet sitter, and I do hope we can work together for another booking again.”

“Kevin was a fantastic sitter for our two dogs. Sent lots of photo updates, was very responsive, and even did some unprompted leash training! Would absolutely recommend him to anyone and will definitely be booking him again!”

About: * Been taking care of friends' loved ones for decades * Ample, daily play-time is provided * Live near Rita Valentine so short or long hikes very accessible * My rules are your rules - whatever is needed to make things seamless for you and your pet so they are comfortable while you are away * I work from home and have a very flexible schedule * I'm able to walk dogs very regularly on whatever schedule they normally have * I live up the street from Yampa Core Trail and right by Rita Valentine so ample options to get them out and exercising * 15-45 minutes hikes are very easy to accommodate * My husband is retired so he is also home. He is a SUCKER for an offered belly so often his choosing to work out or doing any work around the house is ignored in favor of rubbing bellies! * I'm in a very quiet and dog-friendly neighborhood. * I have a nice side-yard but it is not fenced in. Dogs are never let out on their own. * Dogs are allowed on furniture and to sleep in bed - I try to follow whatever is the "norm" for them * I have no problem taking dogs in my car to run errands (if they have separation issues) or to have variety at Spring Creek or other nearby walking areas. * For the senior loved ones: there is an enclosed flight of stairs to get into the house. Carrying pups up stairs is NOT an issue - I had an injured gal who was limping and I just picked her up to make it easier. (50-ish lbs)
About: Hello Steamboat neighbors! I'm Maggie and I live locally and work remotely, making me a great candidate if you are going out of town and want someone to spend a lot of time with your dog (or cat)! Overnights or drop bys are both possible and I'm more than happy to take a dog on a long walk or run! I have over a decade of experience with cat and dog sitting (including taking care of my own cat, Manny). My preference is to start by meeting you and your animal for 30 minutes to see if it is a good fit for everyone and go from there! Thanks I work remotely in Steamboat and am available to drop by or walk before and after work as well as lunch time. My schedule is flexible! If you book overnight, I can work remotely from your home! I cannot watch dogs or cats at my own house as I have a cat who likes to be an only child! While caring for your animals, I will follow instructions on how your animal behaves with other anmials and how you like them to be exercised and cared for.
About: First, I live in Craig, but willing to try to make pickups work in Steamboat, meeting halfway or we travel for the gym often, so please don't hesitate to reach out to discuss. We have a large yard that is great for active dogs. There is always an adult in the house to watch/care for your pup, my mother in law lives with us, Mark is home often and we have 2 kids, ages 10 and 12. I enjoy being around dogs, and feel comfortable dealing with some simple behavior issues. I am very specific with my dog and willing to be as specific with yours if needed. I am active and can give walks daily. Please don't hesitate to let me know if any special needs and I'll do my best to be accommodating. I am active lifestyle and so going on walks and waking up early are part of my normal process. I am willing to work with any situation as best I can. I maintain control of situations and always attentive to behaviors or signs of fear or aggression to make sure it is addressed before any issues arise. I used to train horses when I was younger so the patience and consistency is something I've grown up with towards animals.
“Erin was marvelous with my dog and cats.She kept these nervous parents up to date with our pet’s activities and certainly allayed our fears. Would highly recommend Erin for your pet sitting needs”

About: Hi there! I love working with animals. I have a puppy of my own, and I also work for a dog service company in town so I have lots of experience with all sorts of temperament and personalities! I have also had over four pets in my house since I was a small child! My friends and family calls me a pet whisperer. I hope to meet your furr baby! Weekends are best suited for my schedule and pet care; however on other days, we can try to make it work! If I can bring my pup along, my schedule will be more open! I am patient and love to cuddle furr babies! In my home, I have roommates who also love animals and would be excited to play with pets! Responsible is my middle name!
“Perrie did a fantastic job. Caring and loving with my 17+ year old Westie. Perrie was also on time and followed all my directions regarding medication, feeding and walks.”

About: I come from a family of dog and cat lovers and have had the opportunity to raise and train several puppies throughout my life. I know how important it is to have a sitter who will show your dogs love and affection while you are away, and I’m committed to making sure your pet feels cared for and attended to! I always make sure they get long walks, plenty of cuddles, and won’t be alone for long stretches of time. My schedule allows for flexibility during the day for potty breaks, and my mornings and evenings are fully available for long walks and meeting the needs of your pup. I am available for overnight pet sitting and drop in visits for walks and play. I am extremely responsible, clean, and respectful of people’s spaces.
About: I grew up with 3 dogs and my father is a veterinarian so I have been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. Throughout high school and college I house sat often for family friends and my own family’s dogs. I now have my own dog who I love more than anything. I am a very active person who loves to bring my dog along on adventures and would be excited to add your dog to the fun:) I work part time as a nanny which is very flexible and allows me to swing home to check on doggies if i’m working for longer than the dog can be alone. I have experience watching doggies in my own home and in others home. l live next to great walking trails and a great park for fetch. My doggie would love to keep yours company but she can also be in her kennel if that makes any owners more comfortable.
About: I am a responsible, hard-working young adult with a work schedule that can be adjusted to accommodate your furry-friend's needs. I have owned pets my entire life, and have been pet-sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since I was a kid. Additionally, I have a decade of experience working with horses and in/around farms. Have some large babies that need caring for while you're away? Let me give you the peace of mind knowing they're in knowledgeable and capable hands. Contact directly for rates involving livestock and farm animals! I work an average 8-hour work day with 2-3 days off per week, depending on scheduling needs. I am available for early morning walks, potty breaks, feedings, etc., as well as afterwork exercise. The timing of my 8-hours of work can be flexible through-out the day and can be adjusted based on your pet's needs. Mid-day walks/bathroom breaks can potentially be accommodated based on location and proximity to my work. NOTICE: UNAVAILABLE JUNE 7-28 I am very good at following instructions and ensuring that your pet's day-to-day needs are always met. I am responsible and clean, ensuring to always leave the space I occupy in a similar manner to how I found it. If there are any issues with the animal or home, I always contact the owner promptly and communicate clearly about the situation. For large animals and livestock, I perform a once over of the animals each morning and ensure to take note of anything abnormal physically or behaviorally.

FAQs for House Sitting - Milner
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Milner on Rover is $109.89 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 95 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Milner. 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 Milner 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 Milner 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 Milner 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.
