“All of the animals loved Stephanie. She did a great job and was flexible with some last minute changes. Very communicative and sent lots of pictures, which we loved!”
“Natalie is fabulous! She took excellent care of our dog while we were away for 10 days. She spoiled him with lots cuddles and playtime, just as we had asked! She followed our directions and she kept in touch the whole time. Excellent communication. Absolutely would recommend.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15 from friends and family's to my own and volunteering at animal shelters, I've always had a passion for animals. I have experience walking, bathing, basic training, playing, bonding and making enrichment for all types of pets including those who are picky with other dogs,shy cats, kittens,reactive dogs, puppies, seniors and those who need a little extra care I work full-time mornings so I am available anytime after 4pm, schedule changes month to month and will be available 3 weekdays as well as after work. I can easily create your dog if needed and follow their schedule if needed to keep your pet comfortable,as well as teach new things,baby proof where it's needed to keep your pet safe
“Susan was fantastic! She took great care of all of our animals and was really great at communicating. Prompt, professional. Just an awesome person and caregiver! Thankful to have had her stay with our pack.”
“Yvette helped us out at the last minute for an overnight stay, her flexibility was a life saver! Not to mention my dog loved her right away, I felt so comfortable leaving him in her care, and I am nervous pet parent. Highly recommend!!”
About: Hi! I have had over 10 years of experience with my own fur babies. Both of my girls have crossed the rainbow bridge but we got to enjoy their golden years together, going for walks and soaking up the sun. As my dogs got older I became a pro in distributing oral medications and eye drops. Roxy (my Shih Tzu) also became blind and deaf so I have experience with those disabilities as well. I give exceptional belly rubs, & will give these babies compliments all day long. I do work full time, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. Saturday - Monday my availability is pretty open. Tuesday - Friday I would be available after 5pm. My neighborhood has wonderful with walking trails that we could explore. I also live next door to my aunt who has a super friendly Corgi and is always looking for friends to play with. I do love to snuggle up with a pup on the couch or bed, but do have space for a crate if that would be more comfortable for them.
“Jazmine did a great job watching over my pets, she communicated daily activities and anything additional that had come up. I received daily photos of my boys and could tell they were well cared for when I got back. Will definitely be a repeating customer”
“Paul was great watching our dog and cat for 1 night. He sent plenty of photos during the short time, which we love. He also gave us updates on how things were going during his stay, and offered to come back after check out if anything went wrong with our travels home. We already have him but booked again for a week long stay.”
“Emma was wonderful! She took excellent care of our pups and kept us updated throughout. We felt totally at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Makela watched our house & dog and cat for 8 days and she was absolutely amazing! She updated me daily and was always available if I reached out, and was always kind & professional. Our pets were very comfortable with her and extremely well taken care of which put my mind at ease. I will be rebooking with Makela for all pet sitting needs in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted sitter :)”
“Shelli was a great house sitter! She was on time, provided wonderful photos of her interactions with our dogs and clear communication while we were gone. We arrived home to happy dogs and a clean house. Would recommend as a house sitter and will hire again.”
“Aaliyah is the best! She took such great care of our dogs. One is older, and she gave him so many cuddles and attention. The other is a bit anxious, but Aaliyah won her over quickly. I always hate leaving our pets, but I was quickly relieved when I realized they were in great hands. Our dogs were happy and healthy when we returned home. And our house looked exactly as we left it, if not better. I recommend Aaliyah highly! We will be using her again.”
“Short version: Ruby speaks pet! Long version: Ruby was a pet whisperer the moment she met my dog; he totally loved on her (he's not picky but he definitely has his favorites). During the meet & greet I could tell she understood how important sticking to a schedule was, which meant a lot. But going back really quick, what meant the most to me was her empathy (we both want the best for our pets), and this is what made Ruby a trusted sitter. Thank you Ruby, so very much!!”
About: My husband and I have had dogs most of our lives and we love all kinds of furry animals. We have one dog currently and 2 cats. We lost a dog last year to diabetes (he was also blind), so we are comfortable with medications and some extra TLC. We can provide separation, but for your dog to have the best time, it would be ideal if they are used to cats. We have a fenced yard, a million toys and dogs are part of the family. My husband is also an avid lizard lover and currently has 3 (secure away from pets), but if you need someone to check in on your lizards, he is willing to help. We have struggled with finding this service ourselves. I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. I have a few set meetings throughout the week, but most everything else can be done at any time! In my own home we have a fenced backyard, lots of treats, water and comfy beds to sleep in. While at your own, I will respect the rules and boundaries that you have established and give your furr baby normalcy and lots of love.
“I booked Emily for overnight dog sitting at my home, and she was amazing! She took great care of Kobe and kept me updated throughout her stay with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Kobe was happy and comfortable with her. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
About: I had the honor of growing up with dogs of all sizes, so I’m very comfortable with pets regardless of breed and size. My friends’ dogs love when I come visit them because I’m always game for a walk, some socialization, meals, meds, and even the occasional bath (even when they don’t like it) Because I work from home, I have strong flexibility to be able to care for pets. Between meetings, I can attend to their needs, and I welcome the chance to also balance my time away from the computer as well! When I’m in someone else’s home, I treat it with the utmost respect. After I’ve left, I try to make it appear like I was never there, and I honor that everyone’s space is special to them.
“Mackenzie was very prompt with her responses and saved me in a pinch to give them a potty break while I was at work. For the overnights I appreciated her enthusiasm and communication throughout the stay. She provided daily updates and was happy to send more whenever I wanted, which I really appreciated. She also made a good effort to keep the dogs’ routine as consistent as possible, and I could tell she genuinely wanted to do a good job caring for them. One of the dogs happened to get into a few things, including the TV remote but this wasn't his first remote to destroy. Overall, I appreciated her effort and care, and I would use her again. I think clarifying the dogs behavior beforehand about a few of these things would help ensure an even smoother experience next time! I would definitely recommend Mackenzie to care for your fur babies!”

What an amazing sitter! She did everything we asked including what felt like the weird annoying details. Our dogs loved her and she was very attentive. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, and the boys always looked happy. Would recommend and book her again!
Madison did a great job watching my dog! She followed all my directions and left a clean home. She was responsive to messages and agreed to do a meet and greet before. She even watered my plants while I was away. I returned to a happy and healthy dog! I would definitely book her again and recommend her to a friend!! :)
Rain did an incredible job taking care of our anxious corgi and elderly kitty. We had just moved from out of state and it was our first time ever hiring a pet sitter while we flew back home to visit family for about five days, so we were nervous about figuring out animal care while we were gone. We found Rain here on Rover and they did such an incredible job at taking care of them and sending cute pictures and updates while we were gone. When we came home, we could tell that they were happy and well taken care of and Rain even left a little calming dog tv for our boy in the interim of our plane landing/driving home. I would highly recommend Rain and would most definitely book again as well! ^_^
Jessica was so great to work with. She was communicative, sent daily pics and updates of my dog, and my dog absolutely loved her. In addition, when she had a long shift at work, she had her boyfriend hang out with Rory so she wouldn't be locked up all day (we agreed on this before even booking.) Will absolutely book again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Milton is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $78 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
