“Ayla did an amazing job! Both dogs were very well taken care of and i would highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting services! Ayla even went above and beyond to straighten up the house before leaving!!!”
“Hannah aka Mikki house sat for us and watched our mini dachshund. We did a meet and greet a few days prior to our trip (which we booked with her on short notice) and she was so great with Banjo, even totally unphased by his typical dachshund barking. She seems to truly love her job and love animals. She checked in while we were out of town and sent pictures. This was hands down the best experience we’ve ever had with a Rover sitter and we will absolutely be booking her again.”
“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!”
“Came back home to clean house and happy dogs. Definitely felt at ease while Sophie was watching all 4 doggies. She was in constant communication and followed instructions well!”
“It was our first time using Rover. And we booked last minute when our dog became ill. Elly was fantastic! Her communication was great, she helped our dog with meds, she sent photos…most definitely an A+. We will most definitely be booking with her again!”
“Layla did a wonderful job watching THREE busy labrador retrievers / viszla and taking care of our home while we were out of the country. The dogs are happy and healthy, house is in tact - so I call that a win! We are so grateful to Layla for holding down the fort while we were gone. She is kind and courteous. I would use her again”
About: Hi! I’m Hannah and I’ve been an avid pet lover since I was a little girl and I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats. I know how special our pets are to us and I can’t wait to make your furry friend (s) feel special too! I have experience not only with pet sitting but as a volunteer at my local animal shelter too and have worked with all age ranges including seniors. I am currently a college student attending MTSU. I do not have a part time job however and my schedule is extremely flexible. I am available weekdays and weekends. My goal with every client is to make your pet feel safe and secure. I am more than happy to provide any service needed to accommodate your pets’ needs. I can feed, walk, and give medications any time. My goal is to minimize any stress and maintain routines.
“THE BEST! Both our cat and dog immediately loved Hanna. Usually our dog is pretty protective until he gets to know you. He went right up to Hanna, wagging his tail and asking for attention. She handled our fur babies with care and confidence. We could tell from the body language in the pictures she sent us that they were happy and content. Hanna's communication was excellent from the moment we first had contact with her until she was finished watching our animals. She went above and beyond in every aspect. Definately an incredible sitter. Without a doubt we will contact her the next time we need a sitter.”
“Nathan did a great job with our dog and taking care of the house when we were away. Our dog is sometimes slow to warm up to new people, but Nathan was a new friend right away. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“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.”
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: I have taken care of animals since I was 14 years old! I am a 22 year old recent wildlife graduate who has experience with animal care! 🩷 I love the outdoors, so walks will be a blast with me! I love having surprises for my furry clients (toys, treats, activities, etc.), and I 100% will make sure your little bud will have fun and be thoroughly enriched! I know how to use CPR on small and large dogs and I know how to save most animals from choking. I have a lot of free time right now due to the wildlife career field being a little lackluster at the moment. However, that means I have all the free time in the world to help you with your dog/cat! I always try to sit down or watch the behavior of the pets before I engage in activities or enrichment. I’m a firm believer that every animal has their own personality, thus I have to adapt how I play with them or take care of them. I know most first aid for animals, can help blind animals + deaf animals, and animals with mobility issues. I only feed animals what clients give or tell me! Even though I love offering treats, my treats are only my the permission of owners. I always create a space in my own home if an animal needs to stay with me. That is no trouble! When the activities will be outside, I know just the right places!
“Alexis was extremely communicative and caring for our dog Koko while we were out of town. We felt comfortable with her in our home and with our pup. She sent many updates throughout the day and was very respectful of our home. I would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future!”
“I absolutely could not have picked a better sitter! Alesha took care of my cats and my house for a week while I was out of the country. She respected my property and was extremely communicative, and really set my mind at ease. She went above and beyond what I expected in every way, did my laundry, cleaned out and organized my fridges, scrubbed out my filthy kitchen sink so it shines! My cats were sick when she came and one of them had lost weight. I came back to healthy cats and that one has obviously gained weight. My cats loved her judging from the pics she sent me. If you want the best, hire Alesha!”
About: I’ve taken care of all different animals, dogs, cats, and even goldfish! I have experience with both big and small dogs over my time sitting. Having my own dogs get older has taught me plenty on how to be patient and care for older pets as well. I am currently part time and will be able to do pet care overnight and about every 4 hours throughout the week as needed. I can also work around any other obstacles to make booking me easier than ever. I will ask the pet owner their preferences and work with whatever is needed, whether it be crated or a walk multiple times a day. Whatever is needed will be given to each and every client!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 959 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.
