“What a great experience! She took great care of my dogs and my house on last minute notice when another sitter backed out 2 days before my vacation. Will be my go to from now on without hesitation. She is fabulous!!!!”
“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!”
“Nathan is the best! This is the second time we have booked with him and he takes such good care of our pups. He sends pictures often and communicates with us frequently. Our house is also well taken care of! I would recommend him to anyone :)”
“Excellent, excellent, excellent. Our dogs adore Miss Elly, and our home is always tidy and clean when we get back! We feel so safe traveling knowing that our babies are being well looked after!”
“SO happy we booked with Layla and will 100% be booking her for all sittings in the future. She stayed at our house (which she left extremely tidy!), watered my plant while we were gone, sent pictures of our baby without us asking. She was extremely communicative about her schedule and met all of our expectations and more. I had a a bad experience with a different sitter and was hesitant to book again, but SO grateful we chose Layla. 10/10 recommend. :)”
About: I have worked with a variety of different animals my entire life large and small with a variety of different needs. I look to provide the care that you expect for your fur babies. I currently own my own business so it allows me to have a flexible schedule in being able to help out others. My schedule allows me to be there when I am most needed. Creating a safe enviroment and fostering trust is important to me as it can help build a working relationship with others and make sure you are feeling secure when finding a pet sitter.
About: Growing up with Pitbulls, I have no fear of dogs of any kind. I have experience sitting for cats and dogs. Most I’ve sat for at 1 time is 5, 2 dogs, 3 cats!! I’m starting college at the end of August and will be available to sit in the evenings and weekends! If local I can pop in and out throughout the day, if not I’ll spend the afternoon with them. We Eat, We Play, We Potty, We Relax, and We Repeat. I also have experience with tedious meal times and medications for pets. Which will be easy to incorporate into that schedule.
“Jolie was amazing. She has excellent communication skills and made sure our dogs were safe and cared for. I definitely recommend her and hope she is available to watch our dogs in the future.”
“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!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person. Although I’m just starting my professional journey on Rover, I’m committed to following each pet’s routine, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I will treat every dog as if they were my own❤️🐶 I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for evening walks or drop-in visits after 5:00 PM on weekdays. I’m fully available on weekends and have much more flexibility to dedicate my time to caring for your pet. I will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and loving care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in an apartment and make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I will follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I will treat your pet with love, patience, and respect, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Incredible and unmatched skills with holding the leash steady when the fur baby finds a new friend haha. I have experience working with elderly, sick, and disabled dogs, and my experience includes cleaning dog kennels, and making sure to consistently medicate. Although I am new to the caregiver scene I will reassure you that your pup is in good hands! Animals have always been made a big part of my life that I have always loved. I am usually finding something to do, and loving and caring for animals is just my forte :) I will be available to maintain your pets health including aid of pre-scripted medications, I am also available for dog walks, and am more than willing to dog sit at your home and provide a good and clean environment for both you and your pet!
About: I have been a dog sitter for over 10 years and while I’m here in murphreesboro for school I’m looking to start walking (or running if you would like) with your furry friend I currently am working part time but have some mornings and weekends open to care for your dog. I go on regular walks/runs so adding a companion would be amazing! I have two golden doodles of my own that live back home in Knoxville with my parents. I have lots of experience walking and running both of them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 975 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.
