“Alice was an amazing sitter!! She sent me daily updates and my pup loved to play with hers. She was in constant communication and always answered. Thank you for watching my sweet boy!”
“Holly and her family were THE BEST! She sent me pics and videos during my trip to show that my pup was happy and comfortable, and they took such great care of her. She almost didn’t want to go home! Such a great experience, and Tilly has a new “vacation home!”
“Lisa takes great care of Cocoa when I travel. She is super responsive and provides frequent updates. We are going to on our 3rd stay and she will definitely be our go to sitter!”
“All 5 stars every time! Jessica has watched my doggo multiple times and we both just adore her. She does such a good job with her. I get frequent updates, she’s so flexible when my plans change, and you cannot put a price on trusting someone with your beloved pet.”
“We appreciated Rebekah watching our dog. We appreciated the meet and greet she offered. I understand it wasn't the best fit due to overnight reasons and appreciate her honesty.”
“They are the best! Last minute we realized we didn’t have care for our doodle when we were going out of town and they jumped in to help (as always)!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was pleased with Jessica’s quick response time and enthusiasm to meet and care for Blanca. The process was easy and drop off went smoothly. Jessica’s dog was in a kennel when we arrived to make drop off less stressful for both dogs. The pups were introduced after we left to get their sniffing done on neutral territory (on a walk out front). We received photos and updates during our whole time away and knew Blanca was happy and safe. We would be happy to use Jessica again in the future!”
“Amber did a great job watching Clover!! She kept us informed on how she was eating and even gave her a few special treats. Clover loved the swimming pool. 🐶 We appreciate the great care she received.”
“Tamara and her family were great with Otis - he seemed to really enjoy his time there. Tamara was also flexible, agreeing to watch Otis an extra day. We will not hesitate to book Tamara again.”
“Jaden and his girlfriend were amazing!!! They took such incredible care of our dogs. We were worried our dogs wouldn’t want to leave when we picked them up! They took them on walks at the lake, played and cuddled with them, and treated them as they were their own. Definitely book Jaden! He is amazing and a great communicator! Your dogs will be insanely blessed to stay with Jaden!!”
“Kayla is great! I never worry when I’m away and if I miss my girl, all I need to do is send a message and she’ll update me and send a photo. Recently my dog had to have temporary dietary changes and meds and Kayla knew just what needed to be done and assured me it was not a problem. I knew I didn’t have to worry about a thing”
“We hit the lottery finding this family!!! Alicia, Dan, and their daughter took absolutely incredible care of my dog, Coco. From the moment we connected, they made me feel completely comfortable leaving her in their care. They treated Coco like she was part of their family! Every day Alicia sent updates and photos, which meant so much to me and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the pictures and messages that Coco was happy, loved, and getting tons of attention 😊 I could not have had a better experience!!! I will absolutely be booking with them (and only them!) again! ❤️🐾”
“Elizabeth was wonderful to work with! She was able to take my dog pretty last-minute and she kept me well informed and sent pictures. Very professional, I would very happily leave my boy with her again”
“Morgan did such an amazing job of taking care of our pup. This was our first time using Rover and leaving her with a non-family member, so we were a bit nervous but Morgan immediately put us at ease. She was so thoughtful, caring, and attentive. Bella stayed with Morgan for a week and we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing she was in the best hands possible being well taken care of and spoiled while we were away. We would recommend Morgan to anyone without the slightest hesitation and will absolutely trust Morgan to care for Bella during future vacations! Thank you again, Morgan!”
“Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!”
“Stefanie kept in contact with us by sending pictures and updates. We will definitely be using her in the future for all of our fur baby needs. We could just tell when we picked Whiskey up that he was happy and well cared for.”
“Karina took excellent care of our pup! She sent updates and he looked so happy all the time. Clearly he had plenty of play, exercise, and love! Karina left us worry-free while we traveled and was very flexible with us.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes since I was 12 years old. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own family’s pets and have been the go-to sitter for friends and neighbors. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, and I always treat every pet like my own. I also have a sweet, playful little dog named Butters who loves making new friends and would love a playmate! Since I work from home, your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. All I ask is that they are friendly and good with small dogs :) I work from home, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day! I also have a small, friendly pup named Butters who would love having a playmate around I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether they’re lounging inside or stretching their legs outside. Pets will get my attention for the entire time I am hired.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 287 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Milo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Milo can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Milo home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Milo.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Milo. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your Milo sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
