“So happy we found Chris! He was super flexible and helpful and able to watch our babies again on short notice! Feeling very relieved to have found a nice reliable person to take care of my fur family while I’m away”
“Ashlee is the best! I was so happy when I saw she was available such last minute since she has raving reviews, and now I know why! She was so sweet and patient with Chanel, even when Chanel was anxious and scared and a little nippy. She sent constant updates with pictures which was so reassuring especially since it was our first time leaving her. She was super responsive, attentive and communicative. She house sat and left the place cleaner than it was before we left it. I will definitely be rebooking her!”
“Catherine was an amazing cat sitter and I would absolutely rebook with her again. She followed all of my care instructions very carefully and was extremely attentive to my cats’ needs while I was away. One thing that really stood out to me was how quickly she noticed an issue with my cat Bruce, who has chronic constipation. I had explained the warning signs to look out for before I left, and the very first night I was gone she noticed he was trying to use the litter box but couldn’t. She contacted me immediately, made herself available for a phone call, and followed all of the care steps I walked her through. Thankfully, Bruce improved a lot after that, and I was so grateful she caught it so early. She also sent constant updates and photos throughout the trip, so I was never left wondering how my babies were doing. Catherine house sat for two nights as well, and when I came home my apartment was exactly as I left it. I felt like my cats and home were genuinely cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Marilyn is a fantastic sitter and considerate homestay. She took great care of my two cats (and my home), and they really liked her based on the numerous pictures she sent where it appeared they were following her around, and not just to the wet food. What's more, Marilyn goes above and beyond. When I left for my trip and Marilyn was to begin residency the following day, my neighbor texted me and showed me that there was a window situation where a cat could escape. Even though her duty started the next day, Marilyn made a special trip to confirm cats were safe, and to fix the window situation. She even washed the bedding and towels I had left her so I wouldn't have to do it when I got home, and she generously allowed my to book two more nights of her care when I wanted to extend my trip. Marilyn is very caring, considerate and flexible. I will definitely be requesting her services again. I recommend her highly as one of the best Rover caretakers I have encountered.”
“Rev was the most responsive, caring and thoughtful caring person! She sent us many, many pictures with updates throughout the days we were away and went out of her way to coordinate with our families as I had undergone an emergency surgery and couldn’t make it back in time. Simply put, Rev is the bestest!!”
“Isis took such great care of our dogs. One was sick and had medicine she needed to distribute, and the other got a UTI while we were away. Isis was able to care for both of them as if they were her own. We got wonderful updates and pictures and had such piece of mind ☺️ We're so glad we met Isis!”
“Lindsay was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our pets and our home while we were away for an extended trip. From the very beginning, she stood out as incredibly thorough, experienced, and responsible. She took our meet-and-greet seriously, asked thoughtful and detailed questions, and made sure she understood our pets’ routines, personalities, needs, and all of the little details of caring for our home before we left. She was also exceptionally prompt in her responses and proactive in her communication. We never had to wonder how things were going or reach out repeatedly for updates; Lindsay took the initiative to keep us informed throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. Her communication made it very clear that she is an experienced sitter who understands how important it is for pet owners to feel connected and reassured while they are away. Throughout the stay, Lindsay gave us every confidence that our pets were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. It was obvious that she took the time to learn their individual routines and personalities rather than simply going through the motions. She was attentive to the details we had discussed and treated their care with the same level of thoughtfulness and responsibility she showed during our initial meeting. She was equally respectful and attentive with our home. We returned to everything clean, organized, and very well cared for, along with happy and relaxed pets. Coming home after a long trip and immediately being able to see how thoughtfully everything had been looked after was such a relief. Most importantly, Lindsay gave us genuine peace of mind from beginning to end. Her thoroughness, responsiveness, initiative, and clear experience made it easy to trust that our pets and home were in excellent hands. We are so grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust Lindsay to house sit for us again. We would recommend her without hesitation!”
About: Hi! I’m Jenny, a nursing student and lifelong animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including my own senior husky, so I understand how important patience, attention, and a comfortable routine can be for every pet. I’m reliable, caring, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether they need walks, playtime, feeding, lots of attention, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have and provide plenty of updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while your pet is in my care. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾 Even though I have a pretty busy school schedule, I always make room for pets! I spend a lot of time studying, so I love having a furry study buddy nearby to keep me company. I’m happy to take study breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention. Having pets around makes my day better, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and included in my routine. I care for every pet based on their normal routine and what makes them feel most comfortable. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of walks or playtime, and of course lots of attention and cuddles if they enjoy that! I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether that’s medications, crate routines, potty schedules, or certain behaviors to watch for. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Angie was so wonderful! She really helped us feel like our dog was in good hands and we could trust her. highly recommend! I’m so sad to be moving but whoever books her, she is great and gives great care!”
“Nathalia was fantastic! On time, communicative, and thorough. She made sure our very anxious dog was at ease and happy the entire time which isn’t always an easy task! She is everything you would hope for in a sitter!”
“Amy is just a wonderful dog sitter, she was taking care of our dog, who can be quite demanding emotionally, for almost one week. When Amy came to meet us, our dog was staying next to her the whole time, very comfortable and happy to be petted by her. Amy was sending regular videos showing our dog obviously feeling relaxed and cheerful with her. She is very responsive, communication is very easy. I really cannot imagine a better person to take care of our dog. Thank you so much!”
“Karissa took wonderful care of my cats, She provided frequent updates, pics, videos and my cats fell in love with her! She is very attentive to details, very responsible and responsive. Super happy with her care.”
“Pam is awesome! Very responsive and an excellent communicator. I was nervous about leaving our kitten in someone else’s care but she put us right at ease and took excellent care of our kitty and our home. I would love to have her take care of our pets again anytime!!”
“Kristina was wonderful and so patient with our rescue pup, Mia! Mia can be cautious and afraid of new people so it was nice to have Kristina be so patient with her (and me) about the situation. Mia opened up to her during her stay, and was even sitting on her lap! Kristina was also incredibly considerate of our home and left everything even cleaner than it had been. We were traveling internationally so her constant communication with us was so reassuring and helpful! Thank you Kristina!”
“Belen took such good care of Pedrito! We've had two sitters move out of the area, and I'm so glad it was easy to find Belen who was clear, communicative, and has experience with small, reactive dogs like mine. Belen's calm demeanor is just what my dog needs. She gave him the space and opportunity to approach her when he was ready when they first met, which made a huge difference. He warmed up to her pretty quickly because of that patience. I would definitely recommend booking with Belen. She housesat, which I appreciated because that's the most comfortable for my dog. She sent lots of update pictures and videos while I was away. Can't say enough great things, thanks Belen! I'll definitely be booking with you again for Pedrito!”
“Juliette was thoughtful, attentive, and attuned to my pet babies( a kitten and 1 year old dog). I would hire her again in a heartbeat. I enjoyed the daily photos abd updates and she was all around a lovely and compassionate person.”
“Michael was very punctual, pleasant and relaxed — seemed to “get” my 18-y.o chihuahua right away. This was my first time using Rover, and Michael was a very lucky choice! When I came home several hours later, both man and dog seemed very happy, and my house was in perfect order. Michael was available with less than 24 hours advance notice which was also very wonderful.”
“Leonardo took wonderful care of our cat, Genie, while we were away on our five day honeymoon. He came by daily to feed her, clean her litter box, and spend time with her. We especially appreciated that he brushed her when he noticed her fur was getting a bit matted and made sure to give her plenty of pets and attention. He was very communicative throughout the entire stay, sending daily updates and pictures that really put us at ease and let us know Genie was in great hands. It made such a difference being able to relax on our trip knowing she was being so well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Leonardo to others and would happily book with him again in the future!”
“Julia was amazing! Provided so many updates. So easy to chat with. I can home to a happy pup and such a tidy house. Oliver can't wait for me to go away again to get to hang out with Julia! Would definitely recommend.”
“Casey took great care of our dog and home! Our dog seemed very happy and the house was spotless when we returned! We will definitely be asking Casey to take care of her in the future!”

Isis was outstanding. We had a trip planned and needed someone reliable and loving to watch our two dogs. We found that in Isis. I was able to enjoy the weekend without worrying about our dogs. We received updates with pictures and came back to a spotless home. Greeted with excited happy pups with full bellies. They couldn't wait to tell us about their slumber party weekend. Would highly recommend Isis.
Marangela was absolutely wonderful! She was able to pet sit for us last minute, and from the very beginning, she was so communicative, responsive, and reliable. She took such great care of our dogs and kept us updated throughout her stay, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her help and will definitely be rebooking with her in the future! Highly recommend Marangela!
Deirdre was fantastic and I highly recommend her to any and all pet owners! Deirdre house sat with our young cat Misty for 2 weeks. We are new pet owners and have never Misty alone for more then 15 hours. We had a big family trip planned, and as really nervous parent, I didn't want Misty to face a stranger on the first day of our trip. Deidre was so kind to come 3 times before we left to get to know Misty and build a bond, and it was clear with all her updates and photos that they really did bond. Misty welcomed us home with good health and happy demeanor. Deirdre took such great care of Misty, I already asked for her to come sit again! Thanks Deirdre!
Alessandra was an excellent dog sitter! She was communicative, sent tons of photos, and kept our home just as we left it. She even helped to navigate some unexpected building maintenance issues, which we so appreciated. We would definitely hire her to watch our pup again!
Janiya was so great with my senior cat! My cat gets medication 2x a day, and Janiya was great about giving it to her and providing me with regular updates and pictures. My cat can be slow to warm up to people, but she was sharing the bed with Janiya on the first night, which made me feel really great. I would and have already booked her for another in-home sitting.
Dani was awesome with our rambunctious pup! Sammie is a big lab puppy who's still learning the rules, and Dani was very skilled, patient, and made sure to give her lots of exercise. She was communicative and took great care of the house. We'll definitely use her again!
Lyv completely saved me when another dogsitter cancelled. She clearly knows dogs and asked all the right questions, and my pup Summer immediately took to her. Lyv communicated really well, texting me beforehand to confirm when she would arrive, again when she arrived, sending photo updates, etc. throughout the whole week. I could even tell from the photos that Summer was really comfortable and not stressed at all, which was confirmed when I came home and she was 100% normal as if I'd never been gone. Would definitely book Lyv again!
Caitlin did a phenomenal job taking care of our girl! She provided consistent updates about how she was doing throughout her stay, made sure to take her out for walks, and followed her food schedule closely. I could tell that Chi Chi was very comfortable and happy with Caitlin here, and it's clear that Caitlin really loves dogs and enjoys taking care of them. She also kept the house nice and clean and was very responsible in maintaining both the house and Chi Chi. We would 110% recommend her to anyone and will absolutely use her again if she's available!
Liz is the absolute best!! I know Greg is in great hands while we are away and never worry about him - I know he is being well taken care of. Liz is very communicative and sends beautiful pictures, videos and updates each day. Greg has so much fun with her!! We love Liz!!!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
