“Bella was great with our two dogs! She was on time, provided updates and pictures throughout the day, and kept our creatures entertained while we were away. Highly recommend.”


“Alex was great! He watched or puppy for us while I had to get into the office. At the meet and greet he was very patient and Miles warmed up to him immediately. During the house sit Alex took him for a walk and sent plenty of photo updates. Our puppy seemed to love him and have a great time.”


“Hannah was amazing! She responded any time I contacted her, was punctual when meeting the dogs for the meet and greet, and during her stay she sent photos and kept me apprised of how the dogs were doing. I have a very elderly high-maintenance dog, and she handled him with grace and compassion. She truly went above and beyond to make them comfortable and less anxious. She is welcome in my home anytime!”


“Josh was a fantastic sitter, and we had a great experience with him. He 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 typically very shy to meet new people. He 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!”

“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.”

“Katie was a wonderful house/dog sitter for our two dogs. They were well cared for and loved while we were away. That was very evident when we came home to two happy and relaxed dogs. It was very clear that Katie spent a great deal of time with them. Such a plus! We really appreciated the updates/photos, and she was so kind to answer all my questions. This was the first time we used Rover. We were very apprehensive and had some trepidation prior to leaving. However, Katie far exceeded my expectations. We’s absolutely have Katie (if she would agree) watch our dogs again. Thank you, Katie! 🐶”

“Alex is truly incredible. Her soft, gentle demeanor combined with her knowledge on how to care for pets makes her a perfect choice. She really helped us out last minute on a holiday weekend. We ( and our fur babies ) look forward to working with her in the future.”

About: Retired Certified ALAA Breeder and business owner. I have owned and cared for a variety of animals, including goats and chickens. Love them all! (No snakes or reptiles). I retired a few years early. I am very active! I love to walk every day in any weather. I don’t currently have any pets of my own,(which allows me for occasional travel opportunities ) so I am filling my days for fur baby companionship by caring for yours! I am available to stay in your home for short or extended periods while you are away. I am experienced at giving medication, injections, Vet trips and other light chores. I am meticulous and responsible.
About: Unfortunately my current apartment doesn’t allow me to have a pet. My prior family dog, the sweetest lab ever recently passed so now I would love to help other owners and to be around other dogs or animals! I work off hours for my patients. I have availability on weekends and mornings before I go in or in the evening after I get out. I am very active and go on walks multiple times per day anyways. If your dog is looking for exercise while you are away, I think I would be a great fit.
“I was so impressed with Heather. She did a great job with my two furbabies (two small dogs). I was so nervous to leave them, but she took excellent care of them. She was commmunicative and responsive the entire stay. My younger dog can struggle to warm up to new people, but she was incredible with him- he clearly liked her a lot. Heather was also flexible about changing the booking dates around so that I could spend more time with my dying parent. It meant the world to me to be able to spend an extra day at home. She also kept the apartment clean and tidy and even washed the sheets for me. I was so grateful and appreciative for Heather’s help with my dogs while I was away. Would definitely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”

“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.”

“Great communication about the dogs, she asked good questions and jept in contact throughout. Sending photos and updates. As I haven't left my dogs before it helped me feel less anxious.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s Shih Tzu, Kelly, who lived a long life and gave me experience caring for an older dog and understanding the extra patience and attention senior pets need. More recently, I had my Frenchie, Tyson, who recently passed away. We spent so much time together going on daily 3-mile walks, cuddling, playing, and simply enjoying each other’s company. Caring for him taught me how important consistency, love, patience, and attentiveness are when it comes to pets. What sets me apart is the genuine care and connection I build with animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with the same love, comfort, and attention I gave my own dogs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just calm companionship, I’m happy to adapt to their personality and routine. I’ve always had a dog in my life, and I truly enjoy the companionship, activity, and happiness they bring every day. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with dogs. I’m available every morning for walks and again after 5:30 PM for afternoon/evening walks. I love starting the day with long walks and giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’m also available for boarding on Fridays through Sundays. On weekends, I enjoy spending extra time with pups, whether that’s relaxing together, grabbing a pup cup, or visiting the dog park if that’s something your dog enjoys! I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, pets will have lots of attention, supervised outdoor time, and space to relax. We have a small fenced-in yard, and I love spending time outside with dogs for fresh air, playtime, and walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their normal routine and any instructions they provide to help their pet feel comfortable and secure. If crating is part of their routine, I’m comfortable using a crate both in my home or the client’s home when needed. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while in my care
“Marney was perfect to care for our pack while we were away for a few days! Not only was she loving, but she brought comfort with medical matters for our dog with Addison's disease, who relies on life-saving medication daily 🩷 Besides that, she appropriately managed a separate unlikely medical emergency that occurred - without over or under-reacting, and keeping open helpful communication with us the whole time. We are so grateful to her 🪷”

“ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! Heather and Chris are AMAZING!!!!!!!! Not only are they extremely sweet, they are professional. Heather is very responsive and will answer any text or call in a heartbeat. She followed all my directions I left and gave my babies amazing care. My little ones are all tuckered out now, which is usually impossible. You can tell this is a passion of hers. She and Chris are so personable and so kind. They stayed at my house to watch my two dogs and they were respectful and cleaned things they didn’t even need to clean. 10/10 recommend.”

About: Having grown up with a dog and a cat and a hamster, my love of furry friends started young! I sat for neighbors for years and then began sitting for families whose kids I taught swim lessons at the town pool. I went to college pre-vet and worked at a vet’s office for several years before getting into restaurant work. Now I’m looking to get back to my animal-loving roots and can’t wait to make your best friend’s day! Cats, dogs, horses, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits and many others are all creatures I’ve comfortably cared for short or long term. I can check on, feed, play with or administer medications (including injections) to all your pets. As an avid reader, I’m also happy to just sit home with your shy friends so they aren’t alone in the house, even if they’d rather not come out to play! I’m currently looking to make this my full time job so I’m completely available to you! My routine will depends mostly on your needs, but I’m completely flexible on timing. I can drop in or hang out or stay over, all depends what you need for your friend! Since leaving my restaurant work behind, I don’t have any daily commitments at the moment but I’m very used to flexible hours and happy to work with you to find the best routine!

About: I've always had dogs in my life, primarily large breeds, and currently own three dogs and three cats. I helped raise a litter of seven puppies from birth to 12 weeks, giving me extensive experience with puppy care and development. I've also dog-sat for family friends many times and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so both you and your pet can feel at ease. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work freelance for a marketing agency from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship. I also stream online and bartend one evening per week, but my schedule allows me to be available throughout the day and accommodate most pet care needs. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routines and making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Since I only offer care in clients' homes, my goal is to keep your pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in a familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication administration (if needed), playtime, and any special care requirements. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active play, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I make sure they receive the attention and care they need while you're away. I also respect and care for your home as if it were my own, keeping things clean, secure, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're gone.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Milford is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Milford
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.

This was my first time having Madelyn watch my dogs and I could not have had a better experience! Both of my dogs got sick right before I had to leave and I was so worried about not being there with them. But Madelyn was extremely professional, communicative, understanding, and patient...and my dogs were very well cared for when they needed it most. I am thrilled with my experience with Madelyn!

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.

Camila was so great with our dogs. She immediately made us feel so comfortable during the meet and greet and her schedule is flexible which was great for our dogs not being left alone too long. They were so happy to see her and she sent a lot of updates along the way! I would definitely use Camila again and recommend her to anyone!

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 for House Sitting in Milford on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,171 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Milford. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
