“Amanda was great! We were travelling in the area and needed a last minute sitter for a few hours. Koda had a fun time at her house playing with the other dogs.”
“My dog Fox loved his time with Michael! Michael is communicative, attentive, and so accommodating. As nerve wracking as it is to leave your pet with someone new, Michael’s dedication and attention to his own dogs eased any nerves I had. My dog got to live his best life from morning to sundown, whether it be running with Michael’s dogs endlessly in the yard or going to the beach. He essentially had the best day at ‘summer camp’. If you need someone to care for your pet, don’t think twice and book with Mark!! So glad to have found our go to friends for Fox.”
“Tina was wonderful! Great communication and flexible on timing with us. She was very kind to our Louie and sent us several photos and updates while we were away for the day. Will definitely have our guy stay with her again!”

About: I've been a dog owner for the last 20 years. All my dogs have been rescues, several have been shy dogs that needed extra TLC. I have a special talent connecting with shy dogs and helping them come out of their shell. I also love working with extroverted dogs who love to play and interact. I have a full-time mostly WFH job. I'm available for after-hour drop ins and walks, weekend visits, overnights, and boarding. I know how hard it can be to find petcare (especially during off hours) and I'd like to help with that. My home is safe and secure with a small fenced in backyard away from the road. I have two dogs to keep your pets company. I can help with crating your dog as well. Our home is quiet, serene, and private.
“Siquing was communicative through out my dog's stay and was very accommodating of all of her needs! I received many photos of my pup's stay and felt assured that she was happy, comfortable and attended to. I 100% recommend Siqing for taking care of your dog when you cannot!”

I am very active, and I and your pet will enjoy my very walkable neighborhood!
“Gwynne is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had!!! We tried other rover sitters but no one is as dedicated, responsive and caring as her. My dogs Bubble and Molly got two long walks in the scenic neighborhood, rolling time in the beautiful yard (safely leashed!!), cuddling time with mini humans. The dogs and the kids cannot be more adorable. Bubble and Molly couldn’t be any happier! They fell asleep five minutes after we picked them up. I highly recommend Gwynne as a wonderful dog sitter.”
About: I used to have a dog when I was 4. I played with her, feed her, and gave her a bath 3 days and 2 times a week. I also took her for walk. When I was 8 my Dad decided to give it away to my other Uncle on his side. Because we were moving to an apartment and there wasn't any room. Because I was 4 my brother was born and it was too crowded. A year later my parents got a cat and I have her ever since. I love dogs and other animals I took good care of my Uncle's dogs in my early teens. Also loved taking care of my dad's dog. I am very in-tuned to animals and will be the same with yours.

“Bruno had an amazing time! He got to sunbathe, go on a walk, and clearly enjoyed himself all day. I was really nervous at first, but they sent me pictures throughout the day, which completely eased my fears. It meant so much to see how happy and comfortable he was. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him—highly recommended!!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Milford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Milford on Rover is $42 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Milford commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,092 sitters in Milford, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
