“Kelly was wonderful! She provided a summary of each visit and sent photos as requested, it was extremely reassuring to know the visits were going well, as this was Dakota’s first time with a pet sitter.”
“We had a great experience with John. Not only was he able to help us out in a pinch, (just before a holiday weekend with meet and greet promptly scheduled) our dog loved him and he executed care instructions as planned. He exceeded our expectations of a drop-in sitter. John was a great communicator, giving us daily updates about our dog, sending pictures, and reaching out with major things of notice (nothing bad, but our cat was up to no good). We plan to book John again the next time we need some help with our dog!”
About: Hello! I am a stay at home mom of 2 looking for opportunities to take care of your fur babies. I have at least a decade of experience taking care of pets and animals. I am trustworthy, quick to respond, hardworking, devoted and compassionate. I am looking forward to helping with your fur babies! As a stay at home mom, most of my availability is in the weekends and afternoons/evenings. As a pet owner myself, I am constantly taking care of my cats, ensuring they are well taken care of and thriving. I will follow all rules laid out by the pet owner and any guidelines they have for taking care of their pets. As far as in my home, I have a fenced in backyard and reliable vehicle.
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was young. We've always had dogs and my love for them has only grown with each one I meet. Recently, I've discovered caring for cats has become a passion as well. I believe all animals deserve the best treatment with zero aversives and 100% love, patience, and kindness! I am currently unemployed and in school for dog training, so I am always around and available to help care for your pets! I love being outside and try to incorporate that into my everyday life as much as possible. I care for pets as I would my own. I make sure they have clean water, food is filled, and have snacks (if provided), and multiple walks to ensure they are as enriched as possible until their human returns home.
“Caitlynn is the absolute best. I have 3 crazy pitbulls and she handles them beautifully. They are not easy dogs to keep safe, but Caitlynn makes it look effortless. It’s been years since my husband and I have been able to travel, but now that we have Caitlynn in our lives there are many things that we can look forward to knowing we can count on her. She stayed for over 2 hours getting to know us, our home, and furbabies before we had her over. She really made sure we were all comfortable and we are so grateful for that. We love Caitlynn and can’t wait to have her back💖”
About: I’ve had animals since I was a young girl. As a child we had cats. As a young adult I worked for a grooming, daycare, and boarding facility for 16 years. The only reason I stopped working was because of the birth of might twins.I also volunteered for a pet rescue, a pet shelter, and of course owned my own dogs, cats, and hamster. I’m a mom of 7! Some grown , some in college, and my youngest 2 are 9 year old twins. I have plenty of time during the days to walk, spend time, cuddle, and love on your furry family members. My specialty is mid day breaks/walks or check ins while you’re away or have a long day at work. I am aware of the tremendous responsibility it is caring for your pet. I have my own pups and kitties and will give the same love, care, and respect my babies receive.
About: Hi, I’m Julia! I’ve been fostering dogs for the past six years and caring for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. I truly love animals, and while I don’t have one of my own right now (small apartment), pet sitting is my way of staying connected and giving animals the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. As a freelance graphic designer, I have a flexible work-from-home schedule that makes it easy to incorporate pet care into my daily or weekly routine. I provide care in my clients' homes to keep pets comfortable and stress-free in their own home. I always make sure they’re having the best time!
About: I’ve been a dog sitter and dog walker since I was 10 years old, taking care of some of my neighbors’ dogs. My love of dogs and experience has only grown throughout my life. I have 2 dogs of my own, and have babysat and walked countless dogs since for family & friends. I work remote so I have a very flexible schedule. I already use my free time to give my own dogs a great life and I’d love to do the same for people without as much free time as I. For drop in visits I can let them outside (permitted you have a fenced in yard). We can play a little indoors and outdoors. I can crate them when I go, if this is something you do. If you already have food somewhere prepared, whether fresh or kibble, I can even feed them so you don’t stress about them missing a meal. They’ll get plenty of pets and love.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life as my family have always owned dogs along with the occasional neighbor going on vacation. I love to go on good long walks with my dogs and I would love to do the same with other pets! My schedule is different from day to day depending on my classes. I have more free time on the weekends but also have several hour break between classes during the week. My house has a big backyard along with walking trails in forested area near by that is great on hot days. I don’t normally like walking next to roads so my favorite is to find secluded trails.
“Cassandra is a life saver!!! My rescue pup came way faster than expected and she has been helping us by coming and spending a hour with her during the day. Roxy absolutely loves her and I get detailed reports with the cutest pictures. Everything is left where it was. She’s is very trustworthy and reliable!!! Will definitely be using again.”
About: Hi! I’m Sydney and I am a senior at Skidmore!! I have 10+ years of pet care experience with animals including: dogs, cats, horses, turtles, donkeys, sheep, and more! I have time mainly MTW for pet visits/walking! I also have some availability during the weekend at varying times and days! Hope to make many new and lasting pet/client connections! At my clients home if I am pet sitting I always do my best to align my schedule with that of the individual pet. Therefore, they stick to their routine and feel at home with me. I treat each pet as though they are my own and always refer to the owner with any questions I may have.
“I booked Elaina to do a drop In visit for my 10 week old puppy and my 8 month old puppy. She cleaned up the pee on the floor, let out my two older dogs and stayed over a half an hour to get my stubborn 8 months old puppy back in her kennel. I will definitely be booking again, if she is still willing to accept us after today’s events.”
About: I’m a pet owner and have helped take care of many friend’s and family member’s pets. I love walking dogs, spending time with them, and happy to follow any instructions you leave. I work from home and have pretty flexible availability to drop in on your dog or cat during the week or on weekends throughout Ballston Spa. I’m very attentive to keeping pets safe and well cared for - will always follow any directions you provide and am very good with my own dog when letting her out of walking on a leash.
“I’ve never left my kitties behind when I travel and was quite worried about it. I’m VERY pleased with the job Jack did. Although my cats are super shy and wouldn’t be social and play, Jack sent a daily pick to reassure me they were fine. I’ll definitely rebook with Jack should I need to travel again.”
“Best sitter we've had from Rover so far. (We have talked to several sitters, we liked and were highly qualified). Scott was above and beyond. He had Gremlin be a lap kitty (which he isn't usually, unless he'sstressed) and gave him extra love. It was Gremlin's first time w/o his people since he lost his housemate Dany. Will definitely be our first go to from now on.”
About: I’m a life long animal lover who would love to take care of your pets! My main priority is the happiness and safety of your animals. I believe pets are family and deserve the best care possible. I am open to dog walking, drop in visits as well as overnights. I have years of experience walking and caring for dogs and I’m the go-to person for my family in friends when they need a sitter. I work flexible hours and have mostly day time available with the possibility of later check ins in the evening. With a little more notice I’m available for overnight stays. I like to keep a dog’s routine as stable as possible by staying in their home. I’d love a detailed thorough schedule if possible to make sure I’m meeting all of their needs!
“My dogs absolutely loved Lauren!! Her communication was exceptional and she was very responsive. This was my first time away from home for consecutive days and I felt really comfortable knowing Lauren was caring for them. I would not hesitate to use her services again and I highly recommend Lauren.”

Alexandria was absolutely wonderful with Luffy! This was my first time having someone other than family care for him, and she made the entire experience incredibly reassuring. Luffy is a very energetic and easily excitable dog, but she was patient, attentive, and handled him wonderfully. Her detailed reports, photos, and consistent communication were greatly appreciated. She even went above and beyond by cleaning up after him and making sure he was comfortable. By her second visit, Luffy was already noticeably calmer around her. I couldn't have asked for a better first experience with Rover. I genuinely appreciate the care she provided and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
We had a great experience with John. Not only was he able to help us out in a pinch, (just before a holiday weekend with meet and greet promptly scheduled) our dog loved him and he executed care instructions as planned. He exceeded our expectations of a drop-in sitter. John was a great communicator, giving us daily updates about our dog, sending pictures, and reaching out with major things of notice (nothing bad, but our cat was up to no good). We plan to book John again the next time we need some help with our dog!
Caitlynn was awesome - our dog took to her instantly! You can tell she is a real animal lover. Caitlynn also took the time to get to know our dog and review her care instructions. She was right on time with her visits, communicated with us, and sent us pictures. Our dog was well cared for. We definitely recommend Caitlynn and we will be booking her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Milton Center is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 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 November 2026, there are 1,062 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Milton Center. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Milton Center. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
