About: Hey there – my name is Nancy, and I’ve taken care of dogs the majority of my life. Starting with my childhood dog, Bandit, a mixed Shepard. As an adult I had a pit bull/boxer mix, Vedder. I had Vedder for 12 years. After Vedder, I had a beagle/boxer mix, Killian. I currently do not have a dog of my own. This gives me plenty of time to take care of your dog I am an experienced sitter, and did walker who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. I’m currently not working. This gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet. I’m available both days and nights to watch, walk or play with your dog. To ensure the safety and well-being of pets under my care, I would first familiarize myself with each pet’s specific needs, behaviors, and any medical conditions. This includes understanding their diet, exercise routine, allergies, or medications they may be on. During walks, I would keep them on a leash at all times. Moreover, for both walks and sitting sessions, I’d maintain regular communication with the pet owners by providing updates and promptly reporting any unusual behavior. Maintaining vigilance, open communication, and being prepared for unexpected situations are crucial aspects of ensuring the safety and well-being of pets under my care. I am not a certified dog trainer, but I did successfully train my pit bull/boxer, Vedder, and my beagle/boxer, Killian. When you board your dog with me, you can expect a quality stay. Your dog will not only be well looked after, they will go on some cool walking adventures. I’m located near three beaches, and three parks. One of the parks has a bike/walking path. I keep the owner updated with pics and text. I also use a walking app that shows where we walked, how far we walked and how long we walked. When you leave your dog in my care, you can enjoy your vacation knowing that your dog is also having fun.
“We had just moved to Boston and needed a needed a dog-sitter on short notice for our Great Dane pup, Gordon, and David crushed it! He is super-patient and confident with our big boy and expertly communicative. David will always be our “go to!””
“Lin did an amazing job looking after our two cats while we were away for two weeks. She quickly got our super shy cat to come out of hiding and play with toys. We got great daily photos of the cats. We will definitely have Lin cat sit again.”
About: I have 1-2 years of experience of caring for dogs and pets throughout college! I have specifically cared for medium to large sized puppies and seniors! I am great at dealing with energetic dogs who love to play as well as chiller dogs who love to lounge. I am currently a full time graduate student at Boston University, but I am largely available on weekends and nights! I can house sit on Friday and Saturday nights, and can go on walks everyday at night! My apartment building has its own fenced dog park with room to run and play. I can bring my own pee pads, treats, and toys!
About: Hi! I’m a warm, caring, professional dog walker looking to add some walks and boarding to my schedule. I absolutely love dogs, and will treat yours as if it were my own with all the love, care and attention they deserve! I am comfortable with puppies, seniors, and even have experience with more reactive pups. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I am a professional dog walker with a local company two days a week, but am looking to add more walks and visits to my schedule. When I’m not dog walking, I’m working on building a sustainable swimwear brand from home, so I have lots of flexibility to work around your schedule. I don’t have any pets of my own, so yours will be the center of attention! I live on the second floor of a two family condo building. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but I live right off the Neponset River Trail and there are lots of great walking route and trails in my neighborhood. If your pet is used to sleeping in your room with you at night, I am happy to have them in my room, and can accommodate crated or uncreated dogs. In general I try to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at home.
“Leonardo took wonderful care of my two senior cats, including one that requires medication twice a day, while I was gone for the weekend. They were clearly well tended to when I came home. He was very communicative and lovely to work with. I would definitely choose Leonardo again and recommend others to do the same!”
“Grace was wonderul! She was able to check in on my dog on short notice and was incredibly reliable and communicative throughout the visit. I would definitely book with Grace again!”
“Deirdre was absolutely fantastic. I realized last-minute that I’d need a sitter to drop in on my dog over the weekend, and Deirdre not only accommodated me, but went above and beyond in providing updates and photos. Highly recommend! (And thank you so much again, Deirdre!🩷🐾)”
About: I’ve always had a dog in my life since I was born. I’ve been taking care of them for about as long as I can remember, whether they’re mine or a family/friend’s. I’ve trained my dogs and taken care of all sorts of age ranges, from puppies to 13+ year old dogs. I volunteer part-time so when I’m not volunteering, I try to take the time to do pet care. Since I have the free time, I’m doing it frequently. I have experience taking care of all kinds of dogs. I’ve given dogs meds, I’ve dealt with super hyper dogs that need to be walked for 2 hours to calm down.
About: Hi, my name is Meg! I’ve been taking care of dogs of all sizes for years! I have experience walking neighbors’ dogs, as well as overnight and daytime pet sitting for family and friends. I now have a Bernedoodle puppy of my own! As a hybrid worker, I am home 2-3 days per week. My schedule is flexible and allows for multiple check-ins or walks per day. I am an early riser and can get your dog out for the sunrise on my morning beach walks :) I am also available on some weekends - just reach out and inquire! I live right by the beach and have a large, fenced in yard for your pup to enjoy. My home is air conditioned and has ample living space for dogs of all sizes. I have one roommate who is a fellow animal lover, as well!
About: Hello, my name is Marangela. I have 2 years of experience taking care of dogs, cats and snakes! I used to work in AmeriCorp at an animal shelter so I am able to handle a variety of dogs. I am from the Boston area and have a flexible schedule. Would love to chat! I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I can work anytime before 1pm and after 6pm weekdays. I care for pets by being attentive and loving. I love being around animals and want to make sure they are always safe and in good hands.
“Justyna was excellent! She took very good care of my two fur babies. She gave medicine to my kitty and even shut the windows and turned on the ac when I asked her to over the rover app. Justyna is very friendly and easy to talk to. I definitely would recommend Justyna.”
“Kimberly is a fantastic cat sitter! Our cat is 13 years old and does not exactly warm up to new people very quickly. Where some people may have said ‘no thank you’ to sitting for our cat Kimberly said “let’s figure out a way to make this work that will make your cat feel as comfortable as possible while making sure he gets the great quality care he deserves.” She really impressed us with her perseverance even after our boy hissed and growled when she came for visits. She made sure he was fed and his litter box cleaned daily despite his less than happy attitude. She even offered him treats and play time as well as turned on Cat TV for him. By the end of our two week vacation he was looking forward to her visits enough to ask for a pet or two and play with his toy! I couldn’t recommend Kimberly more - especially if you have a less than easy pet. She doesn’t give up easily! 10 out of 10 stars for sure!”
“Lindsay was incredible with Sunny. She was very thorough during the meet and greet. She gives detailed updates with great pictures. Overall she goes above and beyond. I would definitely recommend.”
“Jess went above and beyond taking care of my kitties. When I came home they were happy and healthy. I also loved getting cute pictures of them when I was away from my home.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Milton
Angelina was a fantastic caregiver while we were away and it put us at ease to know that our cats were in good hands. She gave us updates, complete with pictures, after each visit and was a stellar communicator throughout the process. Highly recommend and we’re grateful we found her!
Mary was so quick to respond to a last minute request for help (and Eric so even while flying back on a plane!) that it blew my mind!! She was able to drop by once she'd landed to meet the dogs and go over logistics. 10/10 would recommend, we got photos so quickly and my two dogs were tired and happy (and relieved lol) 😊
We recently adopted a kitten who needed human socialization. We had Dunks on a good trajectory and Dani did a great job while we were on our trip. She also helped Logan, our older cat, feel like he was still important too! We came home to two incredibly happy cats!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Milton is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $35 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 10,766 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Milton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Milton. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
