“Taylor O was the perfect sitter for our fur baby. She arrived on time, was very responsive to our communications, and took great care of our home and fur baby. Taylor stayed in our home for our recent 2 week vacation. We had never been away from Jinxie for so long and it was stressful for us and her. Taylor understood our concerns and sent daily photos, texts, and updates. It gave us peace of mind to know that our baby was being well-loved and taken care of while we were away. I highly recommend Taylor as a kind and nurturing sitter. We will definitely be using her again for future trips.”
About: I started walking dogs for neighbors as a way to get in extra exercise on the weekends and ended up loving it! Other neighbors saw and soon after inquired for weekend walks! I’ve dog sit for friends and family members whenever they’d go off on vacation or away for work trips. I have experience with dogs with anxiety, blindness, medication administration, and puppies! I’m a tattoo artist searching for a fun, outdoorsy, active side gig to get me out of the house and into fun shenanigans with sweet pups! I treat all pets as if they’re apart of my own family, because they are -woof-! I’ve cared for elderly pets, special needs pets, and puppies and understand that not all pets are the same, some require more time to gain trust while others are more outgoing; some need a 5 minute break to relax mid walk, while others are high energy the entire time through! I’ve experienced it all and look forward to working with you and your pet!
“We had Mackenzie watch Jasmine and Rudy for a day, as a trial for a longer stay later on. We are super happy with both Mackenzie's care for the doggos and also her responsiveness and communication with us. She followed our instructions thoroughly, kept us updated, and responded promptly when we reached out. Thank Mackenzie!”
“Our 2 dogs had such a great time with Elizabeth and Mazi! She sent pictures every day and we were able to enjoy our time away without worrying about anything with the house or the dogs!”
“Aby was incredible with Luna! She was extremely well cared for while I was out of town and made sure to send updates and pictures! We will happily have her back. Luna made a new friend!”
“Sarai took wonderful care of our dog and our home while we were away for two weeks this summer. She took him on walks, kept our house in great shape, and was always quick to respond whenever we reached out. The best part was coming home to a happy, relaxed dog who was completely himself 😊. We would absolutely hire Sarai again and highly recommend her!”
“Erica really helped us out when a sitter ghosted us just a week before our trip! Our pup can be a little shy and skittish at first and it didn’t phase her one bit. She was patient and let him come around on his own time. She communicated and sent pics and updates and put my anxious mind at ease. Came home to a happy pup and a clean house. Will 100% use again.”
“Summer did an amazing job watching our 3 kitties. She sent us many updates about how the cats were doing and adorable pictures of them having fun and relaxing. We were able to travel with peace of mind that our kitties were being well taken care of, so I would definitely recommend Summer to anyone who needs a fur babysitter.”
About: Atlanta artist, creative, and lifelong animal lover! 10+ years of pet experience...endless cuddles, belly rubs, adventures, and lots of love for every furry friend. I’m currently available part-time, with late mornings and early afternoons being my ideal times. I’m also happy to help with evening care when given a little notice! Every pet has their own personality and routine, so I follow your guidelines closely and care for your home respectfully. My goal is for your furry friend to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!
“Jamie was awesome and Tucker had a great weekend without us. She took care of my very spoiled baby and kept me updated with pics and videos the whole time. I highly recommend and definitely will use her again!”
“Tetiana is wonderful- so kind and so responsive. Our pups had a great time. She put us at ease with videos and keeping us up to date with how they were. We are so grateful for her!”
“Mandy was great staying at our home with our dog during a family vacation. Very communicative, we never felt out of the loop with how things were going back home. Thanks for taking such good care of Barrett!”
“Patricia has been watching my babies off and on before she joined Rover. now it’s good to have a platform to schedule the times! I must say one of my dogs love her more than me hahaha. She treats them like her own babies! Given I have two large dogs it’s nice she has a huge yard for them To run around in and they feel like she’s their second mom. Could not say enough nice things about her and how happy my dogs are with her. I think they have so much fun they don’t want to come home 😔. 5 stars!”
“Last minute vacation and we found Annie. Couldn’t be more pleased!!! She is reliable, communicates well and provided regular feedback! Annie played a lot of fetch with our 2 young labs which they love. Kept the boys happy while we’re out of town. Thanks Annie!”
About: I’ve taken care of my neighborhood dogs for the past 5 years and have a keen skill of making the dogs satisfied and the owners happy with the service. I’m currently working part-time so pet care will be my main priority as my live for animals transcends my other responsibilities in my life and schedule Throughout my past experiences, I’ve helped to maintain the safety and security of pets, made meals for them and helped with the yard fencing related to pets.
“Another great experience with Melanie! She takes the best care of our pups. Harper and Chop love to spend time with her! So grateful for her time. We look forward to the sweet notes left. Will continue to use her services when needed.”
“George worked hard to make sure all the pets were happy and loved during our trip. We received great photos and videos, but he also kept the line of communication open so nothing was missed.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Milton
Theo is a great judge of character and he warmed right up to Mackenzie. She was awesome. Responsive, caring, responsible….all the things you want in a sitter. Mackenzie is trustworthy and someone you should have no problem with caring for your pet and your home!! I will have her back for sure!!!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Lucy during our 13-day trip. Lucy is extremely anxious and skittish, but she earned Lucy’s trust early on, and by the end they were friends. That meant so much to us. She sent photos and videos every day, along with little stories about how Lucy was doing. She also took wonderful care of our house: bringing in the mail, taking out the trash, cleaning up, and even stripping the bed and gathering the towels for laundry. She left us a sweet, detailed note and thoughtfully made sure the key was safely inside when she left. We came home to a happy Lucy and a spotless house. We’re so grateful for the care she gave both, and we would happily book her again.
Chelsea was great with Rigatoni! She kept us updated and sent lots of pictures of them playing outside, which we really appreciated. Rigatoni was happy and relaxed when we got home, and it was clear he had a great time. We’d definitely have Chelsea watch him again!
Ciara took great care of our three dogs when we went out of town for 5 days. We have two 2 year old high energy corgis and a 6 month old Great Pyrenees puppy who looks like a full grown dog, but acts like a spoiled toddler! Collectively they are a challenge. She did a great job managing the herd, keeping order in the house and communicating with us. We would definitely ask Ciara to stay with our pups again.
Callia was great. She came by for a meet and greet a couple of weeks before her stay. For her overnight stay, she was on time and sent updates periodically so I knew my dog was ok. It was such a relief having her here while I was away. Highly recommend. Will definitely use her again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Milton is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $99 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
