About: I've lived with dogs since I was four, and have seriously cared for dogs since I was 12. My first dog lived to a grand age of 18, with loving care and judicious pet care. I currently care for 3 dogs at my home, one of whom is a large breed, and trained her from a stubborn attitude (Anatolian Shepherd-Great Pyrenees mix). My partners and friends all trust me greatly with their pets and rely on me for pet care. I currently work part time, and can work my hours around when you need me. I can stay all day with your dogs and provide necessary attention. I am comfortable with dogs of various sizes and temperaments. I can provide necessary attention, walk, crate, and clean up after your pets. I can also administer oral medication.

Josh was a fantastic sitter, and we had a great experience with him. He did drop-in visit and then house sat for us and took excellent care of our cat. What really stood out was how quickly he bonded with our cat who is shy and usually hides from people. Josh was reliable, communicative, and clearly very comfortable around animals. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a house that was just as we left it. Overall, Josh did a wonderful job, and we would definitely hire him again in the future!

About: Ive grown up with pets my whole life. I’ve cared from everything dogs and cats, to reptiles and small mammals to now backyard chickens! Skills I succeed in would be caring for high energy or anxious dogs. I am looking to fill more of my schedule with fur friends walks and visits! I’ve had plenty of experience caring for animals of all kinds and dogs of many breeds. I know how stressful it can be leaving your dog with someone new to the both of you. My goal is to treat yours like they’re apart of mine. Ensuring we both have a loving, productive visit! Offering fun or productive walks in safe environments. I am comfortable administering medication if needed. Not offering boarding at moment, but I can do drop in visits. The visits will be more than just a drop in. They will receive all of the attention, playtime, enrichment and care they’re used to receiving from mom or dad at home❤️

Lindsay was so great with my cat and dog! She gave them lots of attention and helped look after them (litter box, food, water, bathroom break etc!) She was also very communicative as well as friendly. I appreciate her helping us out the last two days and will definitely be asking her to come back.

About: I've always had dogs in my life, primarily large breeds, and currently own three dogs and three cats. I helped raise a litter of seven puppies from birth to 12 weeks, giving me extensive experience with puppy care and development. I've also dog-sat for family friends many times and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so both you and your pet can feel at ease. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work freelance for a marketing agency from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship. I also stream online and bartend one evening per week, but my schedule allows me to be available throughout the day and accommodate most pet care needs. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routines and making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Since I only offer care in clients' homes, my goal is to keep your pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in a familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication administration (if needed), playtime, and any special care requirements. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active play, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I make sure they receive the attention and care they need while you're away. I also respect and care for your home as if it were my own, keeping things clean, secure, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're gone.

We had confidence in Heather looking after our cats from the moment we met her at the meet and greet. She did an amazing job looking after the cats sending us updates and keeping us informed on how they were doing. We definitely will be using her again when we go away.

About: I grew up with three dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable around dogs of all kinds and happy to learn your pup’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether we’re walking, playing, visiting the dog park, or simply spending time together, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I don’t currently have a dog of my own since we live in a condo, but having one again is definitely in my future! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets through Rover part-time. Depending on your location, I’m usually available as early as noon, with even more flexibility after 3 PM. For dog walking, I’ll make sure your pup gets a safe, enjoyable walk based on their usual routine, energy level, and needs. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, including preferred routes, walking pace, feeding or water needs, and how they interact with other dogs. I’ll give them plenty of attention, exercise, and care while we’re together.

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.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my passion for personalized care and my experience with various dog breeds. I currently work at a veterinary hospital as a receptionist and I love my day being filled with many furry friends. I ensure pets develop good habits from the start, and I also provide attentive care for senior dogs, catering to their unique needs. My home offers a safe, playful environment, and I prioritize regular exercise and mental stimulation. With my flexible schedule, I can accommodate last-minute bookings, and I offer photo updates so you can see your furry friend’s adventures! I currently work during the week, but I have full availability on the weekends to accommodate your furry best friend and their needs. I’m also able to accommodate boarding during the week as we are a very pet friendly household and there’s always someone at home to ensure your pet feels comfortable and well taken care of. I have a fenced yard, and the most adorable labradoodle at home to keep your best friend company. I’m also able to provide a crate if needed, and I am able to take your pets on as many walks as their heart desires.

About: I’ve always had pets in my home and absolutely love caring for animals! I currently have two sweet cats of my own, and over the years, family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats. While I’m new to Rover, I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, pet sitting, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to give your pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I also have a large yard and live in a quiet, walk-friendly neighborhood, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some playtime and attention during the day, or care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I can also take dogs for walks around my quiet neighborhood and make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. When pets stay in my home, I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. Dogs who are comfortable around cats are welcome to enjoy the common areas of my home. For cats, I also have a separate room available so they can have their own quiet, comfortable space if they prefer to be away from other animals.

Madalys was amazing with our cat. She was quick to respond and arranged a meeting with us before booking. We could tell she really payed attention to what we asked of her. She even took notes to be sure. She was very patient with our cat and didn’t pressure her to open up which I really appreciate!

Ariana was wonderful. Her communication was great with detailed, helpful, and reassuring updates. I never doubted that my pup was getting the best care and the photo updates made me feel even better. She was so understanding of areas where my pup needed extra support and attention. She’ll be my go-to!

I had a great experience with Jordan caring for my two Golden Retrievers while I was away. Leaving your dogs with someone else can be stressful, but I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Throughout my time away, communication was excellent, and I appreciated the updates and photos. It was clear that my dogs were well cared for, getting plenty of attention and affection. When I returned home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had been treated very well. I would absolutely recommend Jordan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter, and I would not hesitate to use their services again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Milford on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 3,347 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Milford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Milford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Milford 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!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Milford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Milford. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
