“Thank you so much for taking care of moochie:) they are very good with communication, providing updates and cute pictures of my dog Moochie. He had a great time playing with their dog Ollie. I was a little nervous in the beginning with small Moochie hanging out with big dogs but he seemed to get along with them! Happy he was able to play and socialize. Thank you Jieun, Matth and Ollie for treating moochie as your own for a few days ❤️so thankful 🙏🏼❤️”

It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”

“Hannah is the best cat sitter I've ever had! I was very nervous about boarding my cat for over 3 weeks while we were away on a trip, but Hannah made it easy. She sent constant updates and photos to put my mind at ease, and clearly took amazing care of my cat. I love that my cat had her own separate space and that Hannah works from home, so she was able to spend a lot of time with my cat. My cat also came home with some new toys, which was a nice surprise. I will definitely be booking Hannah again the next time we go away. Thank you so much, Hannah!”

“Bianka took great care of our dog Scooby, who presents with many challenges, including anxiety and blindness. She spent a lot of time with Scooby, such as by walking, petting, and playing with him. She even kept him company and played calming music for him when he woke up in the middle of the night. Bianka also sent frequent updates that included pictures. We are so grateful for Bianka!”

About: I take care of my friends and neighbors pets (boarding) for them to go on vacation. They have peace of mind that they are in a safe and loving place I’m currently working part time and close to home. I have plenty of time to play and care for your pet. I’m able to provide various potty breaks, and follow eating schedules, morning and afternoon walks I have a fence yard and I live close by parks and nice places to walk and provide the right amount of exercise that your pet needs.
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“She was efficient and extremely nice and I can definitely tell Pepper had fun. Will definitely recommend her services again and will definitely be booking again. I’ve already told my friends who are pet owners”
“We had a fantastic experience! Kayla took such great care of our dog, Soren — it was clear from the start that she is kind, attentive, and genuinely love animals. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. In fact, I think he’s missing her! We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with Kayla again. Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I take the time to learn their individual personality, routines, and needs rather than treating every pet the same. I’m patient, attentive, comfortable with both cats and dogs, and experienced with keeping pets on their usual feeding, play, and potty schedules. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work part-time, typically between 10 AM and 6 PM, which gives me flexibility before and after work for pet care. I’m able to plan visits around my work schedule and provide consistency. In my home I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel at home. For dogs, I have a fenced in backyard where they can safely play, run around, and get some fresh air. For cats, I have a cat tree, cat beds, and plenty of toys for enrichment and stimulation. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine and care instructions as closely as possible, making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own space.
“My dog’s first time staying with Mariana. She came back happy, clearly receiving enough care and stimulation. I was sent plenty of pictures and updates, and did not worry while my dog was in the care of a new sitter.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and have always loved animals. I’m currently a proud dog and cat owner, so I understand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone trustworthy care for them. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and other pets. I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, and affection they need while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and will treat your animals like they’re my own. I’m a single stay at home mom, so I have lots of time to care for and walk your beloved pets ! I drop my kids at school in the mornings and pick them up in the afternoon, so my availability is very flexible ! I’ve loved and cared for pets my whole life! I grew up with dogs, cats, and just about every caged animal you can think of. I currently have a 3-year-old Maltipoo and a 5-year-old cat, so I understand how much our pets mean to us!

Goose had such a fantastic weekend with Lacy!! It was his first time spending more than one night away from home, and she made him feel so welcome and comfortable. We were blown away by her attention to detail and all of the fun activities she planned for him & included him in. We were 100% confident that Goose was safe and happy the entire time we were away, and we would book another stay with Lacy in a heartbeat!
We were looking for a new pet sitter after our previous one moved out of town. Gaileen’s calm and friendly personality and her excellent care for our dog during a recent trial stay has put my worries to rest. She sent regular updates, followed my dog’s routine, and was super easy to communicate with. We will definitely be boarding with her again in the future.
They did doggy day care for my two pups four days in a row while I was out of town and the girls loved it. Got plenty of pics of the girls cuddling with their kids and going for walks. After the first day, they would run up the steps super excited to go in when they realized where they were!
Thank you so much for taking such great care of our furry family member! We really appreciated the daily photo updates—they gave us peace of mind and made us smile while we were away. I’m sorry the nights weren’t perfect, but we truly appreciate all of your patience and care. We will definitely be reaching out to you again for our future pet care needs. Thank you again for everything!
Andrew took wonderful care of our dog, Richie. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure Richie felt comfortable and happy throughout the day. We received lots of photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and showed how much fun Richie was having. It was clear that Richie had a stress-free, enjoyable day filled with attention, playtime, and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We would be happy to leave our dog with him again!
Yi Jia has been so great with Moxi. We had just moved here and feel really lucky we found her. She always makes sure Moxi is comfortable when we drop her off, and Moxi gets so excited every time she sees her. We can tell she loves hanging out at Yi Jia’s house. She’s also super responsive and sends us updates, which we really appreciate. One time we had a last minute emergency and needed Moxi to stay an extra day, and Yi Jia was so kind and flexible about it. It’s really nice knowing Moxi is happy and in good hands with her.
I highly recommend Ariana! I had to book a sitter for my senior dog almost last minute and found Ariana. We met before I went away and liked her immediately. My dog is mostly blind and deaf and Ariana assured me she’s taken care of senior dogs before. Ariana did a great job with her. I received morning and evening updates along with pictures and videos. I’m very glad Ariana took care of her, she did a great job! I would definitely use Ariana again. Thanks!
Nicholas and Mary Ellen were more than wonderful! Right from our initial meeting them both we knew we'd have a great experience with them! They were very attentive with our dog at the meet and great, and so very understanding of our dog's needs. We were at ease right away. And our dog took to them and their home immediately...she just seemed very comfortable with them and in their home. By the end of the meet and great we knew this would be a great match, and we felt confident leaving our dog with them. (We have a senior dog with some special needs who we adopted 2 years ago, and we're always a little nervous leaving her hoping she doesn't think she's been left again.) Upon picking up our dog we could tell she had been both well loved and well taken care of, and we felt that Nicholas and Mary Ellen really enjoyed their time with our dog. We will most definitely use Nicholas and Mary Ellen again!
It was my first time using Rover and I was so nervous about leaving my two dogs with someone new, especially over night! Our Meet & Greet with Amanda put my worries to rest right away! I was confident they would be cared for. She sent me lots of photos & videos throughout their stay and my girls were very happy there. I will definitely be reaching out next time I need someone to watch my dogs!
Connor did an AMAZING job with my pup, Harley. He was very professional, showed me around his place during the meet-n-greet, and then was attentive and kind during the stay, ensuring I got regular updates and pictures. Harley (my pup) enjoyed herself too! I absolutely will rebook with him in the future.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Milford home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Milford.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Milford sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
