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.

About: Hi! Outside of work, I spend much of my time at home & really enjoy being around dogs! My Boxer Drayke always deserves my time & your dog does too! I grew up taking care of family dogs and that is where my love for them started. At home, we enjoy walks, playing at the park & catching some rays while soaking in all the outdoors has to offer. I'm excited to be at a place to where I have more flexibility and am able to commit to working with Rover again. We have plenty of safe, non-destructible toys to play with with lots of space to lounge around. I'm available weekdays and weekends for any service needed. Happy to help where I'm able to. We promote a 100% healthy, safe & happy environment of course. Hope to hear from you and your pet soon! Many thanks. My schedule is pretty flexible 7 days a week and if I know in advance of what's needed I can accommodate my schedule to yours. I pay attention closely to ensure pets are safe and having fun. Really laid back, quiet environment at home. Want you to know your pet is safe and cared for.

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!

About: I love my family Tibetan terrier Bentley and walk and pet sit him regularly when my family is away. We've had him for 7 years. I started walking dogs as a job in 2018 to present. Special skills include jogging and dedication to picking up that business. I always enjoy seeing other dogs being walked and more often then not stop to pet them if they're friendly. I currently walk two golden retrievers. I'm able to sit them at your home as I only have a small apartment rented out of someone's house. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available during the week to walk and am currently looking to take on another dog. I'm currently not able to bring dogs to my residence as I rent. I am available Monday through friday to give a nice relaxing walk!

About: I have a bachelors of animal science and I have been taking care of pets and farm animals for over 10 years. I am very knowledgable of pet behavior, especially dogs and cats, and I am first aid certified. I treat every pet I care for like my own. My pet care service is Your Fairy Dogmother LLC. I am currently dog walking and pet sitting full time on weekdays while I attend grad school part time. I’m usually available Monday-Friday from 10am-8pm. I’m occasionally available on the weekends for regulars. I pride myself on making sure the pets I care for are happy, healthy, safe, and that their needs are met. I always double check that the house is clean and safe before I leave and I lock up thoroughly. Please note that I have a zero tolerance policy for any dogs or cats that bite or have any aggressive behavior. I also cannot walk any large or strong dogs that are heavy leash pullers due to an old injury. I will only book a walk or drop-in if a meet & greet can be done beforehand.

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: I’ve owned a dog for about 5 years, he’s taught me a lot about patient and most importantly good care. I’ve watched over medium sized dogs but I’m always willing to learn to care for all sized dogs. Available at any time Thursdays and Fridays. Other days off the week I can do anything after 4pm. I can do overnights if needed I can work around anything really. Always alert to provide a safe environment and a clean one most importantly. Dogs are always entertained and happy to be around me and feel 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.

Georgina was wonderful! She is everything I could’ve asked for in a sitter. She was able to help when our other sitter cancelled short notice, so Bugsy still had someone to do her drop-ins. She was super careful and cautious with Bugsy and made sure to check-in if she had concerns. She wrote great visit reports afterwards so I knew how Bugsy did while I was gone. I’m so appreciative of the great care she took of Bugsy during her visits and would absolutely book 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 July 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 July 2026, there are 3,405 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.
