About: I bring 24 years of pet care experience, from raising a beloved cat for 21 years to caring for my current dog, Kylo, for 3 years. Your pup will enjoy a big, secure fenced backyard for play and plenty of loving attention! I work from home, so I’m always around to provide attentive care. My dog, Kylo, is my constant companion, and your pup will be treated like part of the family with plenty of supervision, playtime, and love throughout the day. I provide a safe, secure, and loving environment for every pet. With a fenced-in backyard in a quiet neighborhood, your pup can enjoy safe playtime and relaxation. I’m dedicated to ensuring they feel at home, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home.
About: My name is Katiana Thoby and I have been dog sitting since 2017. I am able to watch your cute pets any time of the week (unless the day is marked off)! You will love my patience, kindness, and affection towards the dog. I've watched my friends' dogs before and learned how to work with them and take care of them properly. I enjoyed playing some games like fetch and running around with them. Since my parents don't like animals, I can't have my own dog. When I have my own house, I want a dog of my own so this will be a good experience for me. Thank you and I hope to work with you soon.. I am currently working full time so I will be available to dog sit on the weekends or tuesdays after 5:30pm! Just let me know in advance and I can open a booking for you. I will be available on some holidays but I will let you know in advance! Please make sure to book at least two days in advance. That way, I can make sure I don’t have any other appointments that day. I may accommodate some last minute bookings if I am available the whole stay period. Most of the time, they stay indoors and I attend to them as much as possible! They will be fed on the times provided and well taken care of! If you would like me to provide a bath as well, please let me know. I love playing with them so I usually bring your pets to the park as long as the owner is okay with it (also provides a leash)!
About: I have plenty of experience being around and helping take care of dogs all ages sizes and breeds! I love pups who want to run around or just lounge on the couch! I’m more than happy to treat yours like my own. I’m currently a full time second year graduate student at SHU, but my classes are mostly in the morning. I have some long days but always finish before 5. Fridays are wide open including weekends and most days I’m done fairly early! I am happy to accommodate whatever safety measures make you and your pup comfortable! If they need to be crated that’s perfectly fine, if they can run around without a leash that’s also great too!
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors and family friends pets for years, along with my own pets. I also worked at two boarding kennels over the course of 5 years and I have been working as a veterinary assistant since May 2023. I also have experience with farm animals and small exotics, ie. reptiles, rabbits, etc. I currently work as a veterinary technician. I would be available before and after work, as well as during breaks depending on location. Just message me and we can figure out a schedule that works! I will always put your pet first during my time with them and will give them all my attention! I am experienced in medication administration if your pet requires!
About: To me, your pets are never “just pets” they’re family. ❤️ As a pet parent to 5 fur babies of my own, plus my bunny, I understand how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your babies with the same love, patience, attention, and protection I’d want someone to give mine. I love and care for all cats, dogs puppies, young, adult , and seniors even (seniors have a special place in my heart ) ❤️ As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility and free time throughout the week to care for your fur babies! 🐾 I love spending my free time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s schedule and make sure they get the time, attention, and care they deserve! I know our fur babies are family, so I’ll always treat yours like my own! 🐾 I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their home. Safety is very important to me, so I always double-check that fences and gates are secure, and if there’s no fence, they’ll always be safely on a leash outside. Lots of love, attention, and playtime included! ❤️

“Alexander was very easy to communicate with and gave great care to our cats over the holidays! We appreciate knowing our cats had such a caring sitter while we were away!”
About: I have grown so fond of taking care of fur babies the more years I do it. I enjoy working with all different breeds and building a connection to the pets I take care of. I’ve learn to work with all ages, breeds, behaviors. The best part? Knowing that people entrust me to bring their fur babies back to me, and knowing that the dogs are excited to return. I have a part time job currently so I have plenty of time to be with your pet(s) whenever I’m not at work, so it’s flexible. I like to thoroughly ask questions about the dog I’ll be taking care of (food, any medications? Exercise? Do they like to play? Etc.) I want to make sure not only yourself but the dog is as comfortable as can be.
“Sarah is the best! I have an older pup and an independent cat; right away she put my mind at ease as her experience and care for animals radiates. She communicated clearly and promptly with me from the pre-booking to after the visits. She followed every direction and went above and beyond. I loved her updates and photos; I appreciated her kindness and attention to details. My pets said they had an amazing time with her! I would recommend her and welcome her back any time.”
“Heather was AMAZING with my 2 puppies! I have never left them alone at home before overnight and after meeting Heather I knew they would be well taken care of! Heather went above and beyond with updates and pictures. I will definitely schedule with Heather again, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND her services! Saje and Jesa will her visits for sure! :)”
“Pauline was a great cat sitter! She sent frequent updates with detailed photographs, which gave me peace of mind that my elderly cat was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Pauline to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter and will certainly book her services again in the future.”

I currently work remotely Mon/Weds/Fri. I’m in office on Tues/Thurs but am flexible. Every Wednesday I will be unavailable from 7:30pm to 10 pm.

“Bruce took amazing care of our cat while we were on vacation. In addition to food/water, our cat required drop in visits twice daily for anti-seizure medication, which Bruce handled with ease. His constant communication, including many pictures, gave us peace of mind during our trip. Thank you Bruce!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I had a beagle for 12 years, and she was truly my best friend. After her, I got two cats and now recently a third. honestly, I don’t know what I’d do without them. They’re such a big part of my day-to-day life, so caring for pets just feels natural to me. Because I’ve had both dogs and cats, I’m comfortable with all types of personalities and routines. I’m patient, gentle, and I really pay attention to what each pet needs to feel safe and happy, whether that’s space, playtime, or extra cuddles. I’m also big on keeping things clean and comfortable. I don’t mind deep-cleaning litter boxes, refreshing food and water, and keeping their areas feeling fresh. I’ve also handled senior pets, picky eaters, and basic medication routines, so I’m confident following any instructions you have. And because I love going on long walks, I’d be more than happy to bring a fur baby along with me. It’s fun for me and great for them. The perfect win-win. At the end of the day, I genuinely enjoy being around animals. Spending time with pets makes me happy, and I’d love to give your fur babies the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care fits really well into my everyday routine. I’m currently in college, but my schedule is flexible and gives me plenty of time throughout the day. I also love going on walks, so adding a fur baby to my daily walks is something I actually enjoy. Since I’m already used to taking care of my own pets, fitting in feedings, playtime, check-ins, or walks feels very natural for me. Whether you need morning, afternoon, or early evening care, I usually have the time and flexibility to make it work. Your pet will always get the attention they need, I make sure of it. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my main focus is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay attention to the little things, the way a pet likes to be approached, their routine, their feeding schedule, and what makes them feel relaxed. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space. I follow your instructions exactly, keep things clean, and make sure your pet stays in their normal routine so they don’t feel stressed. I always double-check doors, gates, and windows to make sure everything is secure before I leave. With my own pets, I’m very hands-on and attentive, and I bring that same energy to every pet I take care of. I make sure water is fresh, litter boxes or potty areas are clean, and your pet gets the attention or quiet time they need. I’m gentle, patient, and always take my time so your pet feels safe with me. You can trust that I’ll treat your home and your fur baby with the same care I give my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Milford
Caitlyn was fantastic and always kept me updated while I was away. She was communicative and reliable and I felt very comfortable that my dog was well taken care of. I came home to a happy and healthy dog!! She followed my instructions and was great to work with. I would absolutely hire her again! Thank you!!
My dogs are my world, so leaving them—even for a short trip—comes with a lot of anxiety and careful consideration. I had a last-minute work trip come up, and Robin was incredibly accommodating, stepping in on very short notice to stay with my girls for a couple of days. She was thoughtful, careful, and clearly brought a lot of experience to the job. She sent regular updates throughout the day, often with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I never had to wonder how they were doing—I knew they were in really good hands. When my return trip ended up taking longer than expected, Robin was also able to pivot at the last minute and come back to give them an extra walk and make sure they were taken care of. I also came home to a clean and tidy house, a thoughtful note with updates, and my mail brought inside. Those little things meant a lot and really reflected how considerate she was throughout the entire stay. I am endlessly appreciative of Robin and the care she gave my girls. I would absolutely trust her with them again and will happily book with her in the future. Five stars — THANK YOU ROBIN!
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.
My first experience with this service and meeting Katie was great! I was able to meet her prior to the first drop-in. She took the time to meet Liam and get familiar with our home. Very good communication and I felt comfortable that he was in good hands. Will book again.

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.
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.

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.

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 .
