“Jae looked after my little Elsa while I was away for a few days and she was fantastic. Thorough with pictures and communication. My Elsa was very well taken care of and I couldn’t be more thankful!”
“Madelyn took a great care of our cat while we were away for 10 days. It was a first time I had to leave the cat in someone else's care, and Madelyn alleviated my worries right away by coming for an introductory visit, sending pictures, and promptly responding to messages. She even helped with mail and watering houseplants.”
“Kate was amazing! She kept us updated throughout the entire visit, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. We truly appreciate her care and communication.”
“This is our first Rover experience and it went very well. Christyna looked after our cat for a week. She helped brush our cat’s teeth, wrote up detailed Rover card, and took good pictures. Will definitely rebook if we are out of town again.”
“And home to happy cats. Alex did all I asked of her including giving medications. Reassured me the cats were doing fine with daily photos. Would definitely use her again.”
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 until 8/30/26. I am currently available during the week or on weekends. Beginning 8/31, I will only have availability after 4:30pm or on weekends! 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 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 after your pets. I can also administer oral medication.
“Rivers new favorite dog sitter! Amanda took amazing care of our pup and we absolutely loved seeing the photos she sent with each visit! Will definitely book again and recommend to our friends 😊”
About: My name is David. I've been around dogs much of my life. Until recently, we had a wonderful Yellow Lab named Woody. My entire family loves dogs and we have dog visitors in our house for both short and long term stays. Rest assured that your pup will receive so much love and attention during their visit with us. I'm home most of the day, so your dog will have that all important companionship while your not at home. My wife Kelly is a dog lover as well and is here in the evenings for our overnight guests. Also I should mention my daughter Jenna will give your furry friend lots of hugs and playtime as well. I'm happy to provide references from our happy clients who can communicate our love for dogs and the special care we've given their dogs. We welcome the opportunity to provide a happy and safe haven for your dog.
“Julie is amazing!! It's so hard to find someone to trust with your pets, but Julie makes it easy. She took great care of my Princess, I will absolutely be using her again in the future ❤️”
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.
“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.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! Katie was the best! Made us feel so comfortable to know Layla was in great hands! The daily check in and Rover card with photos was terrific! Thank you again Katie, Layla loves you!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and taking care of pets is something I genuinely love. I have had many experiences caring for dogs and cats, and my stays have always gone very well. I currently have a dog and two cats of my own, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise throughout the day. I also have my own vehicle, so I can easily come to your home or take your dog out for a walk, hike, or other adventure. I live in Milford, CT, and I’m happy to care for pets in Milford and the surrounding areas. I work from home and I can control my schedule, so I have a lot of time to take care of your dog or cat I provide pet care in your home and always follow your instructions and your pet’s routine carefully. I have my own vehicle, allowing me to travel easily and safely. I’m attentive, responsible, and focused on making sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Skarlett was so thorough, consistent, and genuinely caring for our kitty. She handled giving our kitty her meds perfectly, played and engaged with her, and even went so far as to clean up messes. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 25 years of pet sitting experience. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly love. I’m a dedicated pet owner myself to a unique Sphynx cat and a rescue dog I adopted during the pandemic, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. Whether your pet needs a fun, energetic walk, drop-in visits, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their needs. My home is clean and smoke-free, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, safety, and lots of affection. As well as providing daily photos. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for with me. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m currently working from home full time so most of my day is spent in or around the house. Depending on your particular pet’s needs they will be fed on schedule and shown plenty of attention. For the shy kitties, an extra room is available for their comfort but my home is a completely caged free environment for the kitties. I have a fenced yard and spare bedroom if anxious pets need their own space. I have a very friendly and lovable sphynx cat and rescued doggy that loves visitors. If your home is a better fit, I follow your instructions and treat your space as I would my own with care and respect. Trust is everything and I want my clients to rest assure that their pets and their space are safe and cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Milford
Christyna is so amazing!! She is such an animal lover and has such great experience, she had wonderful communication and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was taking care of my kitties especially the one who needed medicine, she was so incredible I’d definitely recommend and use again!
Boy, was she good! I was worried about my 17 & 12 year old cat but Isabella created a bond with him like he was her own. She sent the cutest pics on the times that were exactly scheduled and even FaceTimed me when I replied to the pics. It made me enjoy my trip knowing my beloved kitty was being cared for with sweetness!!!!
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.
My first experience with this service and meeting Katie was great! I was able to meet her prior to the first drop-in. She took the time to meet Liam and get familiar with our home. Very good communication and I felt comfortable that he was in good hands. Will book again.
Angela did an amazing job! Above and beyond for sure! The only way I won’t use her again is if she’s not available because she took the time to listen to their needs and do all of them. Very good with communication. I got many pictures and videos for every visit. She played with them. 10000% positive feedback from me!

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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
