Sam was fantastic! She took great care of my two cats and provided lots of photos and commentary. She eased any worries I had about leaving my cats over the holidays. So grateful we found her!

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 and clean up after your prts. 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: I’ve had animals my whole life. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs. I’m a cat person myself, I have two sibling cats Bonnie and Clyde, but I love dogs just as much and will take care of all animals with love. My current work schedule is 11-4 Monday-Thursday, 11-8 Friday and Saturday, and I’m off Sundays. I am pretty flexible when it comes to animals. I always make pet safety my top priority by carefully following the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and keep pets in their normal routine. I also make sure fresh water is always available. I respect each client’s home, keep communication open, and send regular updates and photos so owners feel comfortable knowing their pet is being well cared for. If a pet seems nervous or shy, I stay patient and let them adjust at their own pace.

Reilly checked in on my cat Charlie during my recent vacation. She went the extra mile to make sure Charlie was well taken care of, always spending extra time just to sit and pet her. I could not be more pleased with Reilly and will look forward to scheduling her again for my next vacation.

About: I have taken care of animals all my life. Growing up we had Great Danes, German shepherds, hamsters, birds and currently my fiancé and I have an all black cat named Jake. We rescued him as a baby and love him so much. I love animals, they never let you down. When I take care of pets I treat them like my own. I enjoy walking dogs and getting them out of the house as much as possible. I believe a lot of behavioral issues such as chewing, anxiety, restlessness all can be solved with a long walk. I am a very compassionate person and you can rest easy knowing your fur babies are well taken care of when they are with me. I am almost always off on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Wednesday, Friday, Saturday I start work at 3 and Sunday I work from 10:30-3:30. I can always work around my schedule. I have a 6yr old black cat named Jake. He is an indoor cat only and I take him on walks. Jake has a enclosed pet stroller that he loves to ride around in. We walk all around my neighborhood and down to the beach. I am working on getting him used to a harness but right now he is too scared to walk out of the house unless he is in the stroller. I cannot have any clients pets at my house because of my cat and also bc I rent.

About: Hello! My name is Natalie, and to put it point blank, I absolutely love animals. I have a high energy Corgi so I definitely understand the needs and energy of dogs! Let me take care of your animal while you are away, at work, at the grocery store, etc! I have many years of experience with overnight stays, crating, walking, playing with all types of breeds, ages, and sizes. I used to live with a woman and take care of her two large dogs as part of my job in the house. I am an animal lover, and insist on the best care for your furry friend. I pride myself in the directions and notes you give me, because after all, that's your baby! I have a very loving presence with the furry friends and will always make sure they are happy and comfortable with me. I work full time from home, so let me take care of your fur babies with your busy life! Mornings and nights potty breaks and walk are no problem. I have a high energy Corgi, so I’m definitely used to the crazy lifestyle! If you’re up for it, my dog can always come along on walks. I always make sure to listener to the owner. The dog is always on a leash and I keep a safe distance from other animals.

About: I took on the responsibility of our family's two English Setter dogs at around the age of 5 years old and later a Calico cat, because I truly loved all animals. Throughout my life I have helped neighbors beginning at 10 years old and into adulthood as well as roommates (5 years) and friends with their pets while away or on vacation. I am a very easy-going person and I can easily calm down dogs and cats so they relax, remain comfortable and sleep while an owner or family are away. I don't have formal obedience training but I do find that time, patience, and positive reinforcement often achieves good behavior and the ability to understand common commands. I have spent time and become very familiar with the temperament and conditions of Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Yorkshire Terrier, Bichon, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Pug, Dachshund, English Setters, Boxer, Huskies, and Sheltie dog breeds. I have also had a lot of experience with Maine Coon, Calico, Tabby, Standard Black/white, Persian, and Siamese cats. I work full-time weekdays in Fairfield but available after 4:30 PM. On weekends I can be available days or nights, but each weekend varies depending on personal plans. I have plenty of experience throughout my life caring for many friends and neighbors pets while away for a day, weekend or week as I know they prefer to avoid either pet stress or cost of a kennel. I am open to pet sit and/or house sit in the right situation. I respect and follow directions without deviate because I know owner's have their reasons for all instructions. Walks are a win/win because we all need time outside and some actual fresh air. I love all animals but don't have one of my own any more so they will feel adored with lov'in and attention if they are the type of personality that likes attention, but if they are not affectionate I also give all the space/respect they need so it is on their terms. If I were to care for a small dog or cat in my own apartment, I would need to consider their habits (not a barker & bathroom trained) and personality out of consideration for my neighbors. Visiting pets would have plenty of room since my apartment is on the large size with one-bedroom. They would have all of my attention because I live alone and don't have pets. My apartment is above average nice and clean and in a safe section and town located within 1 block to 2 parks with sidewalks along yards and grass strips/areas.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 25 years of pet sitting experience. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly love. I’m a dedicated pet owner myself to a unique Sphynx cat and a rescue dog I adopted during the pandemic, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. Whether your pet needs a fun, energetic walk, drop-in visits, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their needs. My home is clean and smoke-free, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, safety, and lots of affection. As well as providing daily photos. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for with me. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m currently working from home full time so most of my day is spent in or around the house. Depending on your particular pet’s needs they will be fed on schedule and shown plenty of attention. For the shy kitties, an extra room is available for their comfort but my home is a completely caged free environment for the kitties. I have a fenced yard and spare bedroom if anxious pets need their own space. I have a very friendly and lovable sphynx cat and rescued doggy that loves visitors. If your home is a better fit, I follow your instructions and treat your space as I would my own with care and respect. Trust is everything and I want my clients to rest assure that their pets and their space are safe and cared for.

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Milford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Milford on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,370 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:

  • 91% 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.
