“Tamika is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond by spending extra time with my cat, which I truly appreciated. Her communication was excellent—she kept me updated throughout her visits and even sent the most adorable photos of my cat that brightened my day. I could tell right away that she is not only trustworthy but also very knowledgeable about animals. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. I highly recommend Tamika to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter. She’s the best!”
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 huge animal lover, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent years helping friends and family by watching their cats and dogs whenever they’ve needed someone they could trust. I have experience with pets of all ages and personalities, including giving medications when needed. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just wants someone to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I also have two cats of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us. I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for them the same way you would, and that’s exactly the kind of care I strive to provide. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, keep you updated with messages and photos, and make sure you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family members! I currently have full time availability until 8/30/26. I am currently available during the week or on weekends. Beginning 8/31, I will only have availability after 4:30pm or on weekends! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine and personality, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect both your home and your pet’s routine by following your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, or any special care they need. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outdoor time, and provide regular updates with photos so you know they’re doing well.
About: I have always had dogs in my life and am comfortable with various breeds! I have long term pet sat for family and friends over the years. I am currently a fourth grade teacher looking for some extra work opportunities this summer! My daily schedule is very flexible from end of June through August I have experience with my family dog as well as pet sitting for friends. I am accommodating to your pets environment and whatever makes them most comfortable!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs within my family since I was 10 years old. I love to go for long walks and give them as much exercise as possible! My goal is to take away the stress of giving your pet enough time to get their energy out for the day. Though I’d love to have a dog of my own, it isn’t in the cards for me right now so I’d love to enjoy spending time with other people’s pets. At the moment, I am between full-time jobs until September so I am available all hours Monday-Friday! My weekends vary in availability but if you are looking for those days just ask in advance and I may be able to accommodate you. I love giving pets under my care all the attention they need, so I am happy to go on long walks around the neighborhood or bring them somewhere nearby if they have a favorite spot they love to walk. I am reliable, flexible with scheduling, and am eager to enjoy the company of the animals I meet.
“I cannot stress enough how wonderful, caring, and kind Moe is. We trust her 100% with our dog and wouldn't use anyone else to take care of Ruby. We truly appreciate you Moe!”
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Milford
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.

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.

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.

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.
