“Spencer is a fantastic sitter. He goes above and beyond for your pets and is extremely trustworthy. You won’t be disappointed with him! Our cats are already looking forward to seeing him again”


About: I've always loved animals—sometimes more than people, actually! 🐾 I'm a longtime animal lover, Furry Friends Dog Rescue volunteer, foster mom, and proud three-time foster fail! What started as opening my home to dogs in need turned into adopting three of them. I wouldn't have it any other way! I've also provided dog walking and pet care through Rover in the past, and I'm excited to be back! As a yoga instructor and outdoor enthusiast, I love being active and spending time outside. My schedule is flexible (no pun intended!), and I'm available for midday walks when you're at work, as well as drop-in visits when your pets need a little extra attention. I believe every dog deserves individual care, so I offer one-on-one dog walks to make sure your furry friend gets my full attention. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I'll treat yours with the same love, patience, and kindness I give my own. Thank you for considering me! I look forward to meeting your furry family member! As a yoga instructor, I enjoy a flexible schedule (no pun intended!), which allows me to offer dog walking and drop-in visits throughout the week. I'm especially available during midday hours when many pet parents are at work, but I can also accommodate afternoon and evening visits. I'm happy to accept same-day requests whenever my schedule allows! Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities! As an experienced pet owner, rescue volunteer, and foster mom, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I provide one-on-one dog walks and attentive drop-in visits in your pet's familiar home environment. I'll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life. I grew up with Rottweilers, so I’m very comfortable around larger dogs and learned from a young age how to properly handle, train, and care for them. Over the years, I’ve also helped care for pets belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’m a lifelong animal lover and will treat your pet like they’re my own. I currently have a Siamese cat named Skye who is 2 years old, and plan on getting a dog once I have a larger place and yard! I currently work remote, so I am flexible Mon-Thurs during the day/night. Please just provide at least a 1 day notice so I can plan ahead. I always make safety and trust my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific house rules. I’m very respectful of both your pet and your home, and I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. I also understand that every pet has a different personality, so I’ll give them the time, patience, and attention they need to feel comfortable with me.
“Marley was fantastic! She was so sweet with our fur baby and very flexible with some issues we had. Marley communicated with us frequently and was very prepared during a meet-and-greet to take notes. Highly recommend her!”

“Lauany is simply the best! Very loving with our cat, caring, organized, on time. I know our cat Covie got a new friend in her, she was his savior and his friend all the time we were away. Definitely hire her if you need to go on a trip and need someone to look after your pet!!! We loved her!”

About: I have owned and taken care of as well as fostered endless types of pets my entire life from baby to elder care. I am instilling those values, skills, and responsibilities upon my own 9 year old daughter now who absolutely adores and loves all animals. I can administer medications if needed. I work from home every so often. But work down the road three minutes away. Your pup will have adequate space/room to themselves while working. I check in as often as needed as well. I work managing human beings during the weekday but remotely and also locally when not remote(4 minutes away)and can take breaks during the day for check-ins and bathroom breaks as well as am available after work and on weekends!! If a dog stays with us, we have a fenced in yard they will be safe to exercise and play in. We also will walk them if owner is okay with that. If we care for your pet at your home, we will follow instructions and provide the utmost loving and trusted care for your extended family members while you are away! DUE TO COVID AND HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WE WILL DO CURBSIDE PICKUP. PLEASE STAY BY YOUR CAR AND WE WILL FACILITATE TRANSFER OF PUP UPON CONFIRMATION OF YOUR ARRIVAL.

About: I have always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I am responsible, patient, and dependable. I enjoy feeding, walking, playing with, and giving pets plenty of attention and love while their owners are away. I will make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! As a Division I student-athlete at the University of New Haven, I have learned how to manage a busy schedule and stay organized. Between classes, practices, games, and studying, I make sure to plan ahead and set aside specific times for pet care. I’m responsible with my time and understand the importance of being dependable, so I only accept pet-sitting jobs that fit into my schedule. This allows me to give each pet the attention and care they deserve while still balancing my responsibilities as a student-athlete. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone in your home and with your pet. I will always treat your home with care and respect, following any instructions you provide and keeping everything clean and secure. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, while also giving you updates so you can have peace of mind. My goal is to provide reliable, respectful, and trustworthy care every time.
“I cannot recommend Leah highly enough! Leaving my cat, Bailey, is always stressful, but Leah made it completely worry-free. I received daily updates and the cutest photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that Bailey wasn't just being fed, but was actually getting genuine affection and he loved every minute of it. I came home to a very happy, relaxed cat. I’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: I enjoy walking a lot, hiking, being very active in general I take caring for animals. I am Olivia, I am 27 and just moved to Connecticut from NY with my husband. I have done animal care for years. I have a cat of my own who is 15, he is an odd ball, very skittish and has help me gain an understanding of how to care for cats. During my cat sitting visits, I will first say the cat's name/names and see if they seem interested in interacting with me. I will ignore them if they seem shy or until they decide they would like to interact with me. I will feed them, clean the litter and whatever else is asked of me for housesitting or care. I have extensive childcare experience with plenty of references upon request, to show my ability to care for people as well as animals. I am looking for this as part time employment as I nanny 3 days a week, so I will be free to provide the best possible care. I recently came back from being a nanny in The Netherlands for 2 years. In regards to my own pets, I keep a consistent feeding and walking schedule, for their sake and so I get used to stay consistent in keeping my dog healthy with plenty of walks and hiking. I like to greet my animals early with cuddles and pets, mid to late day I and my cat will sometimes play with a feather toy or laser. My dog like to dance with me and play tug of war or just run together in the field by the end of my road. In regards to your animals, I make sure to follow the instructions carefully and pay great attention to details. If in your home, I will always make sure to take off my shoes, not make any messes, respect your personal things, and treat your sweet babies as if they were my own! (and play/care for your animals in a way you and them prefer it best)

About: I take care of my friends and neighbors pets (boarding) for them to go on vacation.

During the summer, I will be available for all pet care needs! Let’s create a schedule that best aligns with my part time job and your pet’s routine. I make sure your pet is cared for in the same way I would look after my cats and dog, with plenty of affection, exercise and treats! I do my best to follow their routine while you are away, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and loved.
“Catherine took wonderful care of my boys, 2 large male cats, on 2 separate occasions. What I particularly appreciated so very much was that when I came home after being away, they were very calm and not at all needy, which is a sure sign to me that they were well taken care of. It was just so reassuring to me to know that! I will be using Catherine regularly in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds from as early as I can remember. Being the oldest of my siblings I was the first to have to take on the pet care chores, and this included both our dogs and our cats, and the other types of animals we had in our household. I have pet care experience with dogs and cats, as well as other pets too. When I moved out on my own with my previous partner (2012-2017) we had adopted three rescued cats, and I was the main administer of the diabetic cat’s insulin and late IV fluid treatments. My ex kept our cats in the split, but in 2018 I adopted my first dog completely on my own. She’s a rescue pit bull mix and now, with my current husband, she is joined by another rescued pit bull mix and a rescued cat. Last year we also adopted a red ear slider turtle off the street in Philadelphia and he now enjoys his aquatic terrarium with his guppy and pleco friends. In 2023 I briefly worked for a dog walking company in Ridgefield and was bit by one of the client’s dogs, unprovoked, and because of that I left the service after being blamed for the outburst and attack (despite telling the owners and the employer that the dog was getting increasingly aggressive with me and I wasn’t comfortable walking him anymore). It was the only time I had ever had an animal turn on me like that and it made me rethink working for a service where I wasn’t listened to or given proper protection. My husband and I have been Rover clients since we moved to Connecticut in 2023 and I am very happy to say we have never had a negative experience, which is why I have decided to lend my services to other pets and families in the area that are in need of an experienced pet caretaker. I am a professional actor so I have days that are marked off for auditions and work or rehearsals, however it is not a consistent time or place. I work throughout the Northeast, NYC, and the Mid Atlantic currently with my acting opportunities, but I am also open to short term travel as well. Because of that, my availability is very open some weeks and not as much on others, depending on what projects I am currently involved in and what the scheduling is like. I would love to spend more time your pets in my downtime and give them the attention they require, since mine are pretty saturated in it regularly. I have two dogs, which are extremely friendly and love other dogs, people, and cats! Our cat is very aloof so they wouldn’t be seen much in cases where pet sitting at my home is needed. Our yard is not fenced in but I am very accustomed to taking them out for walks, or having them leashed under my supervision in our yard. Because I live in Newtown, there are plenty of places to get some quality walks in, and we are also not far from open public dog parks either if that suits your furry friend! I also have my own car which I am more than comfortable transporting your pet in or coming to you for check ins or walks. Our dogs are up to date on vaccines so that is not a worry either, and I am diligent in making sure everyone has a great time when their friends (and our human friends) are over too!
About: Over the past 5 years I have walked and babysat dogs of my family and friends. Additionally, I have two pups of my own who have grown my passion for pet care. I have worked with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I am patient and open to learning and providing specific needs to your fur baby! I am a recent college graduate who is working part-time and I would love to spend my free time caring for pets! I am available for any service throughout the week! Just reach out with availability questions! I live in a dog-friendly apartment and I am super close to hiking spots and beaches! I have a friendly pup to keep your pet company. I am able to easily crate your dog if needed and have tons of toys and treats that my dogs would love to share!
“Claire was fantastic with my cat Poppy, Poppy doesn’t normally like people she doesn’t know but took right to Claire since she was so accepting and patient with her! Incredible communication skills as well.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Milford
We cannot recommend Mikala enough! Leaving our cat Salem while we were away for nearly two weeks on our honeymoon was one of the hardest parts of the trip, but she gave us complete peace of mind from day one. She checked on Salem daily, spent quality time with him, made sure he was fed, comfortable, and cared for, and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip. As devoted pet parents, those updates meant the world to us and allowed us to truly enjoy our honeymoon knowing Salem was in such loving hands. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and treated him like one of her own. We came home to a happy, healthy, well-loved cat, and we are so incredibly grateful for the care and attention she provided. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, compassionate, and attentive to care for your pets, look no further. We will absolutely be using her again in the future! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boy, Salem. 🤍

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Milford is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
