“Oh my goodness, Alex was just wonderful. We couldn't have been more pleased with his work taking care of our many pets and our house. Best of all, he was friendly and communicative, sending pictures regularly and never seeming annoyed when I needed reassurance that all was well. We will definitely rebook with Alex if he'll have us!”

“Maddie was great with Lola and Luther at our house over the weekend. She was very responsive and took extra good care of our pups. We will definitely use her services again!”

About: I grew up with three dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable around dogs of all kinds and happy to learn your pup’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether we’re walking, playing, visiting the dog park, or simply spending time together, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I don’t currently have a dog of my own since we live in a condo, but having one again is definitely in my future! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets through Rover part-time. Depending on your location, I’m usually available as early as noon, with even more flexibility after 3 PM. For dog walking, I’ll make sure your pup gets a safe, enjoyable walk based on their usual routine, energy level, and needs. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, including preferred routes, walking pace, feeding or water needs, and how they interact with other dogs. I’ll give them plenty of attention, exercise, and care while we’re together.

“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!”

“Lindsay is amazing with my two dogs! They are deaf which is a challenge in itself and Lindsay handles them with ease! She’s very communicative and the girls seem to love her. Would recommend Lindsay for your next booking.”

“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! 🐶”


“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!”

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.
“We had to leave our goldendoodle for three days while out of state. She had not been left alone since being boarded at our vet 4 years ago, so we had concerns. Heather was wonderful! She came to our house twice before we left to learn our dog's habits and become familiar with her. Heather stayed at our home during our time away. She followed our dog's schedule to perfection (feeding time, potty time, nap time, bed time, play time, etc.). The day after our return, our dog was looking around for Heather. Heather also updated us regularly, including photos. I would recommend her highly, and hope to use her again.”

About: I've lived with dogs since I was four, and have seriously cared for dogs since I was 12. My first dog lived to a grand age of 18, with loving care and judicious pet care. I currently care for 3 dogs at my home, one of whom is a large breed, and trained her from a stubborn attitude (Anatolian Shepherd-Great Pyrenees mix). My partners and friends all trust me greatly with their pets and rely on me for pet care. I currently work part time, and can work my hours around when you need me. I can stay all day with your dogs and provide necessary attention. I am comfortable with dogs of various sizes and temperaments. I can provide necessary attention, walk, crate, and clean up and clean up after your prts. I can also administer oral medication.
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 🪷”

“Samantha is amazing! She's very responsive, attentive, and took great care of our puppy, Gracie. She asks questions and makes sure she understands how best to take care your pet. We knew we were leaving Gracie in very capable hands. It was also clear how much Gracie loved her time with Sam!”

“She stayed at my house and took care of my dog she did a fantastic job! I am so pleased with her! She made sure she didn’t leave a mess in my house and took pictures of the dog all the time it was great I am so pleased I would definitely 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: Im comfortable working with friendly dogs of different ages, including puppies who need extra attention and older dogs who may need a slower, more gentle approach. Plus, my dog is very friendly and enjoys the company, which can help other dogs feel more comfortable and social. I've always loved being around animals, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Whether it's walks, sticking to their normal routine, I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. I care for pets in both my home and my client’s home, depending on the service. I make sure they have a safe, clean space, follow their feeding and walking routines, and give them plenty of attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their pet comfortable and cared for.
About: Hi! I’m Natalia, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Activities like walking, being in nature, and staying active are a big part of my lifestyle, which naturally fits well with caring for pets. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve cared for three cats, including two that were very calm and affectionate, and one that was initially more distant and cautious. With patience and a gentle approach, I was able to build trust over time, helping the cat feel more comfortable and open to interaction. I’ve also cared for a small dog with hip dysplasia. I followed the owner’s instructions closely to support the dog’s comfort, including gentle handling and basic massage. Since the dog couldn’t use stairs, I would carefully carry them when needed. This experience taught me to be attentive, patient, and mindful of a pet’s physical limitations. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to detail. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always adapt my care accordingly. Whether it’s an energetic pet that needs engagement or a more sensitive one that needs space, I focus on creating a calm and safe environment. I’m reliable and respectful of routines, including feeding, walks, and any specific care instructions. My goal is to make pets feel secure and cared for, while giving owners complete peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and create a positive, stress-free experience for both of you. My schedule is structured, but I offer reliable availability for specific types of care. I work in the afternoons and evenings (typically from 4:00 PM to around 11:00 PM), so I’m not available during those hours. However, I have flexibility in the mornings and early afternoons, especially if scheduled in advance. From Tuesday to Saturday, I can often accommodate morning visits or adjust my schedule when needed. I’m also available for overnight stays if your pet needs care during the night. Sundays and Mondays are my most flexible days, with greater availability throughout the day—especially Mondays. I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for both sides while ensuring pets receive consistent and attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always aim to follow their usual routines as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure the environment is clean, safe, and calm, and I’m respectful of the client’s home at all times. I also provide updates and photos, so owners can feel reassured while they are away. My priority is to create a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner by being attentive, reliable, and caring.

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! I am available during the week or on weekends. I am open to overnight or daily check ins to meet your pets needs! 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.

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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Milford on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,136 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:
- 91% 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.
