“Jess is a great dog sitter, we’ve tried a few on Rover and Jess is by far the best we’ve ever used. She kept us updated on the girls with plenty of great photos. The girls were all very happy and relaxed when we got home, we would definitely use Jess again. Thanks for looking after our girls”
About: I grew up with dogs, so having one of my own is definitely on my list and something I hope to do very soon. In the meantime, I’m happy to look after your furry friend :) I work Monday to Friday, but my job is flexible, so I can pop in and out during the day for walks and cuddles. My schedule can be rearranged depend on needs “I have a pet-friendly flat and I’m happy to accommodate, with plenty of green space nearby. I’m definitely an outdoorsy person and go hiking as often as I can.
About: For me, pet sitting isn’t just about feeding a cat and changing their litter or taking a dog on a walk. I want them to feel safe, cared for and comfortable while you’re away, whether that means a few cuddles, some playtime, a gentle brush, or simply sitting nearby and keeping them company. I’ve grown up around cats and have always had a genuine love for them. From short-haired to long-haired cats, I’ve cared for cats with all sorts of personalities and temperaments, and I understand that every cat has their own way of showing affection. I’m very happy to let pets come to me in their own time and give them the space they need to feel comfortable. Equally, if they’re the type who wants constant attention, I’m more than happy to provide plenty of cuddles, fuss and companionship. I’m also happy to help with grooming, including giving long-haired cats a gentle brush, as well as making sure they have everything they need while their owners are away. I’ll take the time to follow your usual routines and care instructions so that your pet can stay as comfortable and settled as possible. I'm currently unemployed so I’m able to caring for pets around my other (few) commitments and will work with you to make sure your pet’s routine is maintained while you’re away. I’m happy to discuss your preferred visit times and how often your pet usually needs company, feeding, playtime or care. I’m particularly happy to spend time with pets who enjoy company, whether that means playing, cuddling, grooming or simply sitting nearby. I’ll always follow their usual routine as closely as possible so that being away from home is as stress-free as I can make it. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my priority. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, so I’ll treat both with care and respect. When visiting your home, I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter care, playtime, grooming and medication if required and agreed beforehand. I’ll also make sure doors, windows and other potential escape routes are secure before leaving. Most importantly, I’ll respect your pet’s boundaries and personality. Some pet’s want lots of cuddles and attention, while others are happier having someone quietly nearby, especially when meeting for the first time. I’m comfortable with both and will let your pet set the pace while keeping a close eye on their wellbeing. I’m also happy to keep you updated during visits with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind that your pet is happy, safe and being well cared for while you’re away.
“5-Star Review Absolutely brilliant house and dog sitters! An amazing couple, who we have trusted from the first meet and greet. They took such great care of Hera, giving her plenty of attention, playtime and stimulation while making sure she was fed and looked after really well. We came home to a very happy, relaxed and content dog. She even seemed more confident with being touched, which was lovely to see. It was clear she had a great time and felt completely comfortable with them. The experience they have with dogs that have additional needs is incredible We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and would happily have them look after Hera again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Helen looked after our Labrador Amber, Maine Coon, Raphael and our tropical fish. She took great care of them and sent us lots of pictures and videos. She also watered my tubs when we had hot weather. I thoroughly recommend Helen .”
About: I’m currently working my way into the animal care industry. I’ve always loved animals, both wild and domestic. I have a lot of free time at the moment so I’d love to spend it wisely and productively so what better way to do so by pet sitting a neighbour in need.
About: I have had cats for 10 years of my life. I have a resuce cat called Badger, he is 7 years old and I absolutely adore him. I am fully insured and DBS checked. I am happy to provide water and food for your cat, clean the bowls, empty litter trays, and make sure there is fresh litter for your kitty. Enjoy lots of play time with your cat and give them lots of affection. I am very flexible, I can visit once or twice a day. I currently work from home as I am self employed. I am very flexible, I can be available in the mornings and evenings and I am available weekends. I would ensure that all doors are closed to make sure they don't get outside, especially indoor cats. I would follow feeding requirements from the owner.
“Simon was absolutely brilliant. He took such good care of my Dog and kept me updated too. Sadly I had to come home earlier than expected but Simon was always easy to communicate with and kept in touch. I couldn’t be happier.”
“Lauren was really great looking after Frankie and Lily, I got plenty of updates during my time away. I came back to two very happy dogs! The house was left very tidy and clean, which was lovely to return to after a week away. I would definitely use Lauren again, and recommend her.”
“Hayley took great care of our elderly Labrador whilst we went away on holiday. He is a needy boy and is always pleased to see Hayley and seemed very happy when we got home. Hayley went above and beyond looking after the house and watering plants for us too.”
About: I have always been around animals since I was a child. Neighbours, friends and family always come to me to ask me to look after their pets. Happy to meet before a visit to ensure all your pet's needs are met. I work weekdays 9-5 so can cat sit on any day of the week. Dogs, I can house sit at weekends. I work 9-5 Mon to Fri so am available for pop ins in the morning and evening and all day at the weekend as required I have a safe secure back garden. Will follow owners advice especially when walking any dogs to ensure they are kept safe at all times
About: • FULLY INSURED - DBS CHECKED - DOG FIRST AID TRAINED • I’m a dedicated and caring dog walker and sitter, with a lifelong love of dogs! Growing up, I was always surrounded by family dogs, which gave me a strong understanding of their behaviours, and personalities from an early age. More recently, I’ve raised a puppy of my own, Ellie. Ellie is now a loving 2 year old golden retriever who absolutely adores being surrounded by other dogs. Raising Ellie has given me hands-on experience with training, routines, and the patience and consistency needed to help a dog thrive. I also have a pet tortoise, Gatsby, who is best friends with Ellie. I’m confident caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to older companions who need a gentler approach. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing company and reassurance, I always prioritise each dog’s wellbeing and happiness. You can rely on me to treat your pet like part of the family and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐾 For my background - I have a PhD in cancer research and am currently building my own dog care and community business. I am very organised, responsible and trustworthy. I am currently building my own dog care and community business, so I have a flexible schedule for dog walking and sitting. I take my own dog, Ellie, on a long forest walk every day, so getting out and exploring with dogs is already a big part of my daily routine. I’d love to welcome other dogs along for walks, adventures and companionship. I’m happy to work around individual routines and requirements wherever possible, and I’ll keep my availability updated on Rover. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I am fully insured for dog walking and sitting, am DBS checked and have completed dog first aid training. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs, personality, routines and any specific instructions before their visit. I treat every dog with patience, kindness and care, and I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone else. When providing sitting or drop-in services, I also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own - keeping things clean and secure, following your instructions, and making sure everything is as you left it.
About: I've grown up with dogs in the household and have always absolutely loved being around them. I'd love to have one of my own someday, but apartment life doesn't quite allow it yet, so I'd be more than happy to give your pup plenty of love, attention and care! I am a freelance graphic designer, so I make my own schedule. I can arrange my schedule around pet care easily, so give me a shout whenever you need your pet well looked after :) While I can't care for other pets in my own home as I have a very energetic cat (love him to bits), I am more than happy to come to yours when your pup or kitty need caring for <3
“Megan was amazing. Even though I booked her very last minute to look after my dog for the weekend, she was able to meet me and my dog before the booking. She provided regular updates and pictures of my dog. I would definitely recommend ❤️”
“Our cats took to Shaan straight away, including our youngest who is very shy. She gave us detailed daily updates, photos and videos, always assuring us that our cats were being superbly looked after. They were fed, clean, brushed, happy and in a very tidy flat when we came home. Thank you Shaan! Would definitely recommend and have you back 😊 ”
About: I have grown up with dogs, including my own, my granda’s, and all of my friends. I had my own sweet (slightly mental) baby since she was a puppy, which means I have taken her for a lottt of walks, brought her along when I would go for runs, played with her, given her all of the cuddles, and contributed to her training. I have also dog sat for my friends when they have gone on holidays, both by lodging at theirs and bringing their dogs to stay with me. I ensured I met all their care needs by feeding, walking, playing, and administering medication to those that needed it. I currently work full time, and am looking for dogs to walk in the evenings and on weekends, and some pet sitting during the weekends. I am available almost every weekend, weekdays after 7:30, and occasionally during the day on weekdays depending on my work schedule. My rota comes out monthly, so my availability will be updated with plenty of notice.I have just moved and I miss my dog back home. I live near a quiet lake, which is lovely for walks and would keep the fur babies away from busy main roads and lots of people.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Milton Keynes is £38
Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Milton Keynes
Steve and Jeanette were the dream dog sitters. It was clear from our meet and greet that they’re lovely people who really care about animals. They looked after our dog for a couple of nights and sent lots of picture updates. It was clear she was well cared for, comfortable and cuddled! They followed our routine and instructions with walks, food and medication perfectly and when we returned the house was spotless. They even stayed an extra hour when they knew we would be a bit later than originally thought. I will absolutely use them again and am so glad we found you!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our wedding weekend! Hayley stayed at our house for 24 hours and looked after our three dogs, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She was caring, reliable and clearly wonderful with the dogs. It was such a relief to be able to fully enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about them, knowing they were happy, safe and well looked after at home. Hayley was also lovely to communicate with and left everything perfectly tidy. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. We will definitely be using her again! ❤️
We just lost our dog Butler’s brother so we were a bit apprehensive about leaving him on his own so we couldgo on holiday as this was the first time Michelle would be looking after him. We had nothing to worry about; Michelle sent plenty of updates and I really felt that Butler could not have been in better hands. 🙂
Amelia was fantastic from the start. We could tell at the meet and greet that our lab Rosie would love her, and we were right! She sent regular updates, photos, and videos of both dogs throughout the stay, which really put our minds at ease. Our anxious rescue really came out of his shell with her, which meant so much to us. She even left the house spotless. We’ll definitely be booking her again - highly recommend!”
Really happy with the care our dogs received. Dorota was lovely, easy to communicate with, and sent photo updates so we always knew they were doing well. Our rescue dog can be anxious with new people, and she was great at giving him space and letting him settle in on his own terms. Our lab, who’s also a bit nervous at first, was at ease with her quickly too. It was such a relief to relax knowing they were both in good hands. Would definitely book again :)
We've used Natalie several times and always leave knowing the dogs are in great hands! She sent photos and videos twice a day, which kept us reassured. Based on previous experience with Natalie, we trusted her to try Rosie off lead on walks this time - she did brilliantly! Harry is our anxious Romanian rescue who always takes a few days to warm up to new people. Through Natalie's updates it was wonderful to watch him go from keeping his distance, to getting curious, to eventually asking for bum scratches. If you know rescue dogs, you'll know that's no small feat! The house was left clean and tidy too. Trustworthy, friendly, and the dogs love her - we couldn't ask for more :)
Donna and Nyki are wonderful sitters and I would have no hesitation using them again and recommending them. They clearly love animals and ensure their care is the priority. They give regular updates too which is nice and reassuring. Friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.
Jane was great. From the first call, to the meet and greet, to the dog sitting! Great communication, regular pupdates and I knew my dogs would be in safe hands. It was so important to me to find someone I could trust as one of my dogs has fear reactivity from his past life which sometimes still reappears. Thank you Jane. Lucky to have found you and the cuddle monsters say thank you too 🙂
Strider absolutely loves his time with Daryl and Veronica. They keep pace with his high energy well taking him on multiple walks, playing, and giving snuggles. We always get a load of photos from their time together where Strider always looks so happy. Daryl and Veronica are also very respectful of our house and we trust them completely. Strider always looks for them after they leave and then falls asleep showing us he's had the best day!
Lucie was absolutely amazing with our dog, Isla. Isla loved her straightaway and was happily snuggling with her on the sofa when we left. She took her on some great walks whilst we were gone and fed her her dinner exactly as we'd asked. Isla was so happy and relaxed when we came back, we could tell she'd enjoyed her time with Lucie. Lucie also communicated with us regularly throughout the day and sent photos to let us know how Isla was getting on. She even fed and played with our cat which was so appreciated. She left the house clean and tidy as well so that we could just relax when we came back. Such a great overall experience, we will definitely be booking her again next time we go away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Milton Keynes on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Milton Keynes walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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 must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
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 Keynes choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
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 vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
