“Ayla was a life saver. I needed a dog sitter for our new puppies for a few hours and she didnt hesitate to say yes with really short notice. She was great with our pups. I will book her again!”
“Sophie is the best. I know this review will now make it harder for me to book her again because everyone else will be booking her. She loves animals and is a true kind spirit. Very responsible and clean. Her care of my house equaled the care of my dogs. She’s very communicative too. A++ rating.”
“I needed a dog sitter last minute after a cancellation. She was on time, caring, responsive. Sent me several pictures and kept me updated. It was a great experience. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for multiple families for long periods of time since I was 14. I love all doggies and puppies! I have trained 2 puppies basic skills like sitting, laying down, and giving a high five! I work as a substitute teacher so I can either work a full school day or half a day depending on how long your dog can stay alone. I also make my own schedule so I could not work at all if needed. During the summer, I have no job and complete open availability. I have 2 dogs at home. One old lady who hates everyone and everything, and one little puppy who loves everyone and everything. So your dog will have a playmate at my house. If I’m at your house, I love playing, going on walks, and cuddling with all the doggies!
“Nathan was patient with my older dog Jewel who takes longer to warm up to new people but once she does she loves you! He was also great my with new puppy who is still learning the lay of the land. I would recommend him to all of my friends and book him again!”
“Mikki was the best! Our pets were well taken care of, our house was cleaner than we left it, and we received communication and updates daily. Absolutely would recommend and will book with again!”
“Used Layla for the first time for my Doodle and Mastiff. She did a great job. I loved that she was easy to communicate with and kept me updated while she watched them. I will definitely be using her again”
About: I will treat your pet like family and make sure they are happy and well taken care of. I want to be someone you and your pet can rely on. I’ve dog/cat/house sat for many people many times and I’ve built a connection with each human and animal different than any other. I work as a caretaker, so I’m available at different times, but it’s flexible. Right now, I would be available for 3 visits a day and would only be away from the house during house sitting about 4 hours a day. When caring for a pet, I try to read their expressions to understand what they need/want. I will keep them entertained when they want to play and leave them alone when they want to be left alone. I will make sure they’re safe and happy. I like to walk, play, relax, talk with any pet I’m with.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs at a time for 10+ years now. Currently we have four dogs and two cats that are very happy I’m working from home, so they rarely have to be alone. Experienced with the extra care required by medically needy dogs and senior dogs, as I helped the Cheatham County shelter with theirs for a few years. Working from home affords me the opportunity to spend nearly 24/7 with either my own pets, or yours! Happy to work with whatever schedule your pets are used to. In my home I have a fenced yard. Will only board one dog at a time, things get a little cramped past that! In your home, I would be working remotely and therefore present for your pets most of the time. I may make a midday run to let my own dogs out, but largely my wife will take over care of our own dogs while I’m looking after yours. I want you to know someone is there taking care of your babies! I send lots of pictures.
About: I started working with animals about 2 1/2 years ago for a friend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I've had dogs my entire life. I currently have a German shepherd mix and 2 cats. My schedule recently is super flexible, so I am able to work around many specific hours. The only times I would most like to keep open is weekends. I have dog sat in others homes many times. I take the dog on walks, potty, play time, and if wanted cuddle time! I also clean up any mess made by myself or the dog and do cleaning when I see needed. I’m very good at keeping on schedule with pets so whatever needs they have I can fulfill that!
“Ryland was absolutely fantastic. Not only was she great with my pets, she took very good care of my home. She is a most wonderful person and would trust her with taking care of my furr babies anytime.”
“From the first time I messaged Tonya, things went very smoothly. Tonya took great care of my dogs while I was away and I'm sure they enjoyed the daily walks they took with her. She did a great job of keeping me updated while I was away and, as a result, I enjoyed my vacation and did not worry about my dogs or my house. I came home to a neat home that included two, happy and well-cared for dogs! If you're looking for a responsible person to care for your pets, I highly recommend Tonya!”
“Mia is the best! Not only did she help me out last minute but my pup had some unexpected medical issues pop up right before the stay and she was so great and attentive to him. She was very communicative and sent pictures as I had requested. Highly recommend her!”
“Jillian did a fantastic job and Anya was so peaceful and relaxed when I got home. She kept in touch and sent me photos of my girl. The house was left in perfect shape. Wouldn't hesitate to have her take care of Anya again!”
“Vanessa did a great job watching after our two fur babies during our need to be in Nashville over night. She gave medicine to our pip that suddenly needed it. We greatly appreciate her flexibility and dedicated attention to them!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Milton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 977 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.
