“Repeat client here- Hannah has adapted very well to the fluctuating needs of our cats over the many months of visits, including being willing to (and successfully!) administering daily medications to our somewhat difficult cat. Always appreciate the enthusiasm to care for our kitties!!”
“Once again our pup was well cared for during our vacation. We received regular updates and pictures of her relaxing or playing. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life, as well as cats, reptiles and small animals. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a leopard gecko, 2 guinea pigs, 1 bird, and 3 turtles. Throughout the years I’ve learned so much that I’m able to provide love, care, and compassion. I work Monday through Friday. Some days during the week I’m able to work from home. On the weekends I’m 100% free. I can provide services in the morning and evenings during the week and anytime on the weekends. I provide reliable, compassionate, and attentive care for your pets while you’re away. Whether it’s regular daily drop-ins, feeding and medication routines, and walk times, I ensure your pets maintain their normal routines in the safety and comfort of their own home.
“Katie took our dog on long walks and hikes on new trails, provided photos and updates daily and was very flexible when we had a change of plans. Can’t wait to ask her to sit again!”
“Alex was great. First time using her and everything was great and the dogs liked her! She took them out for walks, potty breaks, and was great to them. She stayed over at our house and everything was perfect. I would use her again!”
“Words are not enough to say how amazing Robin is, she went above and beyond taking care of our pups and house. This was our first time leaving our pups with a complete stranger and felt like Robin was sent to us for a reason, we felt so good knowing that she was with our pups, she loved and cared for them and our house was 100x better than when we left. She is extremely thoughtful, communicative, and caring. I am so glad to have found her.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. As a veterinary technician I have professional experience working with animals and am comfortable handling pets of different sizes, personalities, and needs. My veterinary background has taught me to pay close attention to changes in an animal’s behavior, appetite, energy, and overall well-being. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, companionship, feeding, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and getting plenty of love while you’re gone.
“Dahn was wonderful with our dog Levon! We went away for about 4 nights. Dahn was excellent at contacting us and sharing pictures with Levon. She was so attentive with him, catering to his every need. Dahn is kind and loving and it comes through tenfold with the animals she takes care of. This was the first time anyone has stayed overnight with Levon and Dahn allowed me to completely relax, knowing he was in such capable hands. If you're trying to find your next dog sitter/dog walker, look no further!!”
“Kaylah was wonderful! We left for the airport in the night, and she texted me early am that she was at the house. From all the pictures, the animals were happy and enjoying their walks and time with her!”
“Marney was so wonderful with our dog Koby! She spent such great quality time with him the whole weekend and was very communicative throughout. Marney is incredible with animals and won over our pup instantly. We also enjoyed the adorable photos sent along the way! We highly recommend Marney and can’t wait to have her watch Koby again!”
“Korin has stayed with our two pitbulls twice at our home. They love their time with Korin! She takes great care of them and is communicative/easy to plan with. We feel lucky to have found someone who does such a great job with our pups.”
“Gloria was fantastic! She took care of our puppy and cats like her own and sent us tons of picture updates which made us feel so much better being away from home. You can tell she really cares ❤️”
“Pauline is always excellent- she is so reliable, communicative, attentive to detail, and my dogs adore her. She is my go-to person for dog sitting needs. I’ve had a lot of unexpected trips home this month to deal with a dying parent and she has been so flexible and accomodating with last minute requests and date changes, which really helped me out.”
About: I’ve taken care of Cats and Dogs growing up. Some of my best memories came from my Yorkie-Terrior named Billy and Beagle named Ruby. Bonding with your pets is such an invaluable experience that can be life-changing for all those involved. Currently between jobs, searching for part time work. I’ll have loads of time to provide quality care for your precious pets. I’m available for House Sitting, Drop-In/Out visits and Walks. :) I follow instructions listed by each client to the T. I take my time to read carefully written instructions. I may ask for clarification on any request, solely to ensure I know the best way to properly look after, walk and take care of each pet, (family member,) as if they were my own.
“Megan was fabulous! We needed a dog sitter last minute to stay over the weekend and she responded right away. She came over for a visit to meet our dog and walked through everything; our dog immediately loved her. She arrived on time and treated our pup and home with care and respect. We are so grateful! Highly recommend.”
“We LOVE having Ellyana & Alexander watch Finn - they are wonderful caretakers of both Finn and our house. It’s such peace of mind to travel now! Our dog is a shy dog and he clearly loves Ellyana & Alexander - thank you!”
“I needed a house and dogsitter for a week with very short notice due to a death in the family. Matt came over within 14 hours of me reaching out. He stayed at my house and took care of my two dogs for 8 days. He left the house exactly as I did. He sent me multiple photos and updates each day and was good to my dogs. Appreciate it.”
“Willow took care of our 2 dogs and cat while we were out of town. Everyone was happy and health when we got back, and she seems to have managed our very enthusiastic shepherd well! Plus, she was very respectful of our home and everything was tidy when we came back.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Milford is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Milford
Morgan is fantastic! This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad I chose Morgan to care for my furbaby, Chloe. She was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond, not only with feeding but also by administering Chloe’s eye drops whenever needed. Chloe was a little skeptical on the first day, but after a few days, she was following Morgan around! It was so reassuring to see how comfortable and happy Chloe became with her. Thank you so much, Morgan, for taking such wonderful care of Chloe and giving me peace of mind while I was away. You are truly amazing! Chloe sends you lots of purrs, and we hope to have you care for her again on our next trip! 🐾❤️
We had such a wonderful experience! She is incredibly kind, attentive, thoughtful, and responsive. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and we really appreciated how she went above and beyond to make sure our dog felt happy and comfortable. She asked us several times about his favorite activities, what he enjoys, and how she could make his stay as fun as possible. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after! She’s also incredibly considerate, which made the entire experience even better. We would absolutely book with her again and recommend her 200%!
We had such a great experience! She was attentive, reliable, and prompt, and took such great care of our pup. Our dog can be a little skeptical of new people, so we were especially happy to see how quickly he warmed up to her. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We will absolutely be using her again—thank you so much!
This is the second time Ali has watched our dog, Rosie. Ali is great. Very responsible and dependable. She took great care of our house and Rosie. She is a real animal lover and clearly enjoys spending time with Rosie. We will most definitely ask her to stay in our house and watch Rosie again.
Eric did a great job for us! We adopted Beau 4 months ago, this was our first time leaving him for a vacation. Eric communicated regularly and sent photos. We could tell that Beau was happy and felt safe. Eric is kind and trustworthy. Our home was in perfect condition upon our return. Knowing that things were going well at home allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. We highly recommend Eric!

FAQs for House Sitting - Milford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Milford is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $70 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,064 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Milford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Milford walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Milford maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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.
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. 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
