“Hannah stayed with my high energy dog for 2 weeks. She provided regular updates and had no issues. House was just as I left it when I returned. Dog didn't seem like she missed me at all!”
About: I am very well-rounded as far as my animal experience. Dogs, horses, cats - you name it! I have a degree in animal science, work in the veterinary field, and have volunteered extensively with local humane organizations. I am currently am not working full time so I have plenty of time to come care for animals. If I am not taking care of your animals I am spending time with mine! I have a 2-year-old pup in my house that is very well behaved along with my 5 cats. I have a spare room and a designated dog room that can be used to isolate animals from "gen pop" if need be. I am happy to prepare the most complicated diets or administer meds as needed!
“This was our first experience with Cassidy and we are very happy with her. She sent plenty of photos of Buddy, took him out for walks and took good care of him. Buddy seemed very happy to be with her. Her communication throughout the process was always very prompt. We will definitely use her help again and wholeheartedly recommend her!”
“Lindsay was amazing with the pups. She worked with my flexible schedule and gave the dogs everything they needed. She treated them like they were her own and I did not have to worry once while I was gone. I would highly recommend her and will continue using her in the future!”
“Hailey was amazing! She was very thorough and sent lots of updates and pictures. Hailey really went the extra mile to make sure our pets were taken care of and made sure to get to know them before the visit. We are so grateful for her help and cannot recommend her enough!”
“Kylie did a great job! The boys were well taken of care of and communication was great. Can’t thank her enough for helping us on short notice.”
About: My husband and I grew up with family pets and once married we knew we wanted to have a fur baby of our own! I have spent the last 10 years nannying for families with multiple pets of all kinds! From fish tanks, turtles and frogs, to dogs, cats and even chickens! Let us love your fur baby like our own! Send us a message and let’s chat! My husband works from home and my work schedule is very flexible! We often travel on weekends but will accommodate accordingly! With our pup constantly on the move we can keep up with yours too! We are up early and can accommodate morning feeding/medication routines. My husband is home during the day and can accommodate evening/medication admin as well. We have play time, quiet time, physical and mental exertion! We have a large fenced in back yard. We allow our pet on furniture and don’t mind if yours joins in on the cuddles! We always prefer to do a meet and greet before hosting your pets, as we know you love them like family! My husband works from home and I work for myself, home most days of the week! We like to keep to schedules with our own dog and will happily follow the schedule your pup is used to! We have a large fenced in back yard that is perfect for running and playing fetch! Or as our dog plays ‘keep-away’. We live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood as well!
“Hannah did an outstanding job watching my dogs at my home for a couple nights. Her communication and updates throughout her stay were outstanding. She went up and beyond to make sure the house was in better shape than when it was left. My dog’s really enjoyed her. I would definitely recommend Hannah.”
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life, from dogs and cats to reptiles and amphibians, I've care for most! Being aware and responsive to your pets needs is key! I do contract work so my schedule is flexible most of the time. Generally up late so don't mind odd hours. Also available for early mornings as well, schedule can usually made to accommodate. I have reliable transportation and can travel whenever needed. I'm comfortable and experienced in giving pets medicine or injection if need be, and I'm willing to adapt to whatever needs your pets may have.
About: We would love to take care of your furry family member while you're away! We will make sure he has a marvelous time with all of us. My husband and I grew up on farms in Kentucky and have loved dogs all our lives. Our kids also love dogs! We have a large fenced yard, and there are lots of walking areas nearby. We would take your dog on a walk or let him romp around the yard. We do have a cat named Eleanor and kids, so it is important that your furry friend be comfortable around cats and children. Eleanor mostly keeps to herself, so as long as your dog doesn't chase or bark at her, things should go fine! Why I love dog sitting We've loved dogs our entire lives. We don’t have a dog at the moment so enjoy caring for pups when their owners are away. About my yard We do have a large fenced yard! My experience administering medication Yes, we are comfortable administering medication. I work from home so am happy to have a furry friend keep me company and get some exercise together. Your pet won’t be lonely! I have a fully fenced yard with lots of space to play and explore. The fenced area is almost 1/2 an acre so plenty of room.
“Misty was great and Luna was safe and secure, happy and healthy when I arrived home. Finding a dog sitter on Memorial Day seemed like an impossible request so imagine my surprise when she accepted, arrived and did a great job. I highly recommend her!”
“We are thankful Maddie cared for our 2 active dogs while we were gone for a long weekend. She was trustworthy with our home and dogs. They were content when we got home, and we could tell they received lots of attention.”
“Mary Grace is just the best! This is our second time using her and our cat is getting more and more comfortable with her. Mary Grace is extremely thorough and communicative and we feel great knowing our cat (and house) are in great hands while we’re gone.”
“Eric was great! He took great care of our snuggly beagle and our home. Chester was at ease with Eric and we could tell that he got all the treats and affection to which he is deservedly entitled. We will definitely ask Eric to sit for us again on our next trip.”

“Amber was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs!! She kept us very updated with pictures and messages and even checked in with us on a potential medical issue. They both need oral medication and she was comfortable with that and made sure they had what they needed. We loved having her take care of our pups and felt confident they were safe and happy with her! We’d recommend her to any other families that need someone to love and care for their pets while they’re away!”
“Kat was amazing! She’s not only just a cool person, but our dogs took to her immediately. We appreciate the communication while we were away - including pics of the pups lounging the day away. I will definitely book her again in the future.”
About: I have always been a dog lover since I can remember. Growing up, my family used to raise dachshunds and I was always right there learning and ready to lend a helping hand.

“Stephanie watched our dog and three cats over Christmas and did an excellent job! She was very attentive to our pets needs and communicated well with us all week.

FAQs for House Sitting - Milner
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 440 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.
