Alex was absolutely wonderful! She arrived on time for every visit and followed all instructions perfectly. My dogs were well cared for, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. She also kept everything clean and tidy, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and caring pet care!

Christina was a total cat whisperer for our two shy senior kitties. She put them at ease like a natural and was an expert with their oral meds. We felt so grateful knowing the kitties were in such skilled and caring hands. Thank you!!

My first time with Rover and Spencer was exceptional great with my cat Molly. He informed me everyday and although my cat is shy, Spencer tried his best. He was great at keeping up with feedings, litter box cleanings. Overall, I recommend him.

She was honestly amazing with our two cats. They both have very specific personalities and aren’t always the easiest, and she took the time to really understand them. You could tell she was paying attention to what each of them needed instead of just going through the motions. It genuinely felt like they weren’t just being “watched,” they were spending time with someone who cared about them. That meant a lot to us while we were away.

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.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life. I grew up with Rottweilers, so I’m very comfortable around larger dogs and learned from a young age how to properly handle, train, and care for them. Over the years, I’ve also helped care for pets belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’m a lifelong animal lover and will treat your pet like they’re my own. I currently have a Siamese cat named Skye who is 2 years old, and plan on getting a dog once I have a larger place and yard! I currently work remote, so I am flexible Mon-Thurs during the day/night. Please just provide at least a 1 day notice so I can plan ahead. I always make safety and trust my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific house rules. I’m very respectful of both your pet and your home, and I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. I also understand that every pet has a different personality, so I’ll give them the time, patience, and attention they need to feel comfortable with me.

Lindsay was so great with my cat and dog! She gave them lots of attention and helped look after them (litter box, food, water, bathroom break etc!) She was also very communicative as well as friendly. I appreciate her helping us out the last two days and will definitely be asking her to come back.

About: Hi! I’m Gianna and I am a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up in a family that always had two or three dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Schipperkes, and Chihuahuas, and I’ve also looked after Shepherds, Pit Bull mixes, Labrador Retrievers, and many other breeds. Whether your dog is large or small, energetic or laid-back, I’m committed to providing them with the attention, love, and care they deserve. In addition to dogs, I grew up horseback riding and spending countless hours on farms surrounded by horses, goats, chickens, barn cats, and farm dogs. Being around animals has always been one of my greatest passions. I treat every pet as if they were my own family. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands. I am currently a teacher on summer break, so I have a very open and flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. When the school year begins, I am still available before school, during lunch breaks (if your home is close enough), as well as after school and in the evenings. I care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether that means cuddling on the couch, relaxing together, going on long walks, or visiting dog parks, I always tailor my care to meet each dog’s individual needs and personality. If your pet stays with me, they will have free access to my apartment and are welcome on the couch and bed if that’s what they’re used to. I want them to feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home during their stay. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your space with the utmost respect and keep it clean and just as you left it. I aim to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and secure while you’re away.

We cannot recommend Mikala enough! Leaving our cat Salem while we were away for nearly two weeks on our honeymoon was one of the hardest parts of the trip, but she gave us complete peace of mind from day one. She checked on Salem daily, spent quality time with him, made sure he was fed, comfortable, and cared for, and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip. As devoted pet parents, those updates meant the world to us and allowed us to truly enjoy our honeymoon knowing Salem was in such loving hands. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and treated him like one of her own. We came home to a happy, healthy, well-loved cat, and we are so incredibly grateful for the care and attention she provided. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, compassionate, and attentive to care for your pets, look no further. We will absolutely be using her again in the future! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boy, Salem. 🤍

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Milford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Milford on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 3,483 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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.
