“Mary was amazing with our high energy pup. She went above and beyond and communicated with us frequently. I’ve never felt more comfortable with a sitter (very anxious mama here). We will definitely be using her again!!”
“Jacob did a wonderful job caring for Oatmeal while staying overnight in our home. Jacob arrived on time and stayed beyond the required time. Photos and update text messages were provided. I will definitely keep Jacob as our primary dog caregiver whenever the need arises.”
“Aubrey did a wonderful job looking after our home and five animals. We came home to a spotless house and happy cats and dogs! She was an excellent communicator and provided nice updates and pictures. We look forward to hiring her again!”
“We are so pleased with the experience we had with Chelsea. She was great about keeping us informed about how our pups were doing. She texted us and sent us pictures every day while we were out of town. We would definitely recommend Chelsea for anyone looking for someone to care for their pups.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and I’ve gained hands‑on experience with cats and dogs. (XS-XL) During my two years at the SPCA, I learned how to work confidently with dogs of all temperaments—whether they’re shy, energetic, anxious, senior, or dealing with reactivity or resource guarding. I’m patient, understanding, and always mindful of boundaries. I’ve helped train puppies, adults, and seniors in basic commands, and I’m comfortable administering medications and keeping animals on a steady routine. I’m currently available at any time of day, including weekends, and I can accommodate night‑shift care when needed. I also offer flexible pet‑sitting options, whether you need care for a few full days and nights or extended stays ranging from one week up to one month. I follow any schedule already in place at a client’s home—including feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, cuddle time, and medication administration—to help eliminate unnecessary stress for your pets. I’m also able to provide longer walks (30+ minutes), engaging play sessions such as fetch, tug, snuffle‑mat activities, and treat‑puzzle enrichment, along with plenty of cuddle time for pets who enjoy affection.
“We can't even begin to describe how amazing Jacqueline took care of our dog while staying at her house! She kept us constantly updated with photos and comments, something that put our minds totally at ease while attending a wedding out of town. She has a beautiful dog of her own and treated our dog as if he, too, was family. Her love for animals is quite apparent. Our boy just absolutely loved her entire family and I know that he will be excited to spend more time with them!”
“Ryan was so attentive, patient and handled an emergency situation with ease. When our 4 year old Labrador got sick, Ryan was the best at communicating, confirming he could handle the situation and managed to put us all at ease. Highly recommend him. We were grateful for his professionalism.”
“Erin is a wonderful dog sitter. She communicates well and she sends pictures of the happy pup. I was very comfortable having Erin stay at my home and I will definitely book with her again. I would highly recommend her.”
“Our experience with Ariel was terrific. We knew our pups were in great hands and well cared for. They got great walks every day, medicines were properly given, and communication was good. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire Ariel again for our boys. We recommend her to anyone look for a solid reliable sitter.”
About: Hello everyone! I just moved to the lower DE area after recently graduating from Penn State (May 2025) with a degree in animal science. I have 2 years of emergency VetMed experience and training and am able to assess emergency situations and give basic life saving measures. I have worked with puppies and kitties all the way to seniors. I am committed to keeping your pets healthy, safe , happy, and stress free! I am currently a stay at home cat mom getting my master’s degree in animal nutrition online.., I am also a passionate part time dance teacher in Harbeson for ages 6-15. Besides that I’m available and flexible almost always! I have had two senior cats for 3+ years that I adopted and they tend to be a bit spoiled. They enjoy walks outside in their cat stroller and constant attention and play.
About: With 21 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats, I provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I began working with animals at 16 in a professional dog grooming salon, where I learned safe handling techniques, pet behavior, and how to help animals feel calm and comfortable. I've worked in multiple kennel environments and have experience with pets of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to shy cats and senior pets. I treat every pet like family, keeping them safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routines. You can count on me to provide attentive, trustworthy care and peace of mind while you're away. I'm home most of the day, so your dog will rarely be left alone for more than 2–3 hours. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I provide attentive, reliable care in both my home and yours, always focusing on your pet's comfort, safety, and routine. Whether boarding or providing drop in visits, I maintain regular feedings, potty breaks, playtime, fresh water, and plenty of affection. I closely monitor each pet's well being, follow all care instructions, and provide updates for your peace of mind. My home is clean, pet friendly, and stocked with most essentials. Just bring your pup, their food, leash, and collar, and I'll take care of the rest!

This is the second time Ryan has stayed with my dog and two cats. My Pup recognized him immediately and was happy to see him. It is a good feeling to know he is there with the fur babies taking good care of them and my home. He is also an excellent communicator!
Ryan was so attentive, patient and handled an emergency situation with ease. When our 4 year old Labrador got sick, Ryan was the best at communicating, confirming he could handle the situation and managed to put us all at ease. Highly recommend him. We were grateful for his professionalism.
Ryan did an amazing job taking care of our little Scout. This is the first time since we adopted Scout that we went out of town so we didn’t realize she would experience separation anxiety. Luckily we had Ryan to take care of everything in a professional and caring way. He kept in touch with us and sent pictures thought our trip. By the time we got home, Scout had befriended Ryan thanks to his loving patience and persistence. We HIGHLY recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Milton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Milton on Rover is $74.55 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 352 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Milton. 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 Milton 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 Milton 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 Milton 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.
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.
