About: I have had multiple cats and dogs growing up. My parents still have multiple cats and dogs and I currently own two cats. I have had many experiences caring for other people’s pets as my family has offered pet sitting and in-home visits throughout the years. I love all animals and enjoy taking care of and spending time with them, playing, talking with them, etc. I have experience working with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. Dogs will always have a fun time and enjoy their walks and/or play time with me. Both dogs and cats will get plenty of attention and care needed during in-home visits and dogs will during boarding or daily stays! As an animal lover, I look forward to helping out and providing great care for your pets! You can always feel comfortable and confident with your pet in my care! I look forward to working with you and your pet(s). Teacher & coach at a high school so August-June I am only available on weekends & school breaks. I have much more availability, especially during the week, in the summer months! Your pet will be provided with daily love, exercise, fun, conversation, and relaxation. I will be adding more to this section as soon as possible!

About: Hey my name is Brooklyn! I have been around pets my whole life and have a very deep love for all animals! I am very lenient with pets, they are allowed on furniture and they won’t be crated unless that is your preference. I have two mini dachshunds at home, they are very friendly and enjoy having other pups over! I have a very flexible schedule! If your pup is staying over, I am home most of the time unless I need to step out for an errand! I also have two pups of my own so meshing your pets into our routine is easy! We are very open to pets in our home, our pups lay on the couch and sleep in the bed. We do have a fenced in back yard for running and playing!

MILFORD, DE, 19963

About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. My dogs are Angus (a 12 year old Bugg (pug/boston terrier mix) and Archie (a 7 year old Boston Terrier). I also have a 16 year old cat named George who I rescued about 3 years ago. He was an outdoor cat for his entire life, but I've turned him into a spoiled indoor cat. No one thought I could do it, but here we are. Finally, I have one little girl in the bunch - a cat named Izzy (Isobel Rua) who is 9 months old. I've worked with a couple of rescues over the years and have fostered many dogs and cats. In addition to fostering, my rescue work also included coordinating, conducting and meeting rescue transports, administering meds to animals that were transported into the rescue and handling adoptions and home visits, care for kittens and puppies and elderly animals. I have had at least one dog in my life for just about my entire life. Cats came later in life when I had my kids because when I was a child myself, I wasn't allowed to have a cat. Over the years, I've learned about as much about cats as I know about dogs. My animals are well loved and cared for and I am very good at building new relationships with dogs and cats - meeting them where they are and working with them based on their individual cues and needs, not human expectations. I have years of experience that has benefited me with extremely well behaved and happy animals. Before moving to Delaware, I was the unofficial dog/cat sitter for my neighborhood. I decided then that I would like to at least start doing this professionally on a part time basis. Now that I've been here for a little more than a year, the time is right for me to start. First with daily check ins and walks. Perhaps overnights with pets in my home on on a case by case basis since I have my own fur babies here. Your pets would be in great hands with me. I work full time from home and can do occasional walks and check in's during my work day. I have more availability after work and on the weekends. I walk my own dogs in the mornings, but I can check in on yours as needed. Either a visit to feed and play for a bit or for a quick walk. Overnight stays at my home for your dogs is a possibility on a case by case basis.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. I’ve spent years caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, so I’m comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or just providing companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m attentive, communicative, and happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priorities! I’m currently working a few evenings during throughout the week, but am available most mornings and afternoons for your pets. Overnights are no problem for me, as I have a stable enough work schedule I can follow all routines and schedules you have for your pet, feeding, cleaning, walking, and even cuddling! Whatever your pet needs, I’ll follow your instructions and treat them like my own along the way

“Jermaine went out of his way to make sure our dogs were well taken care of while we were gone. He was on time every day and sent pictures on a daily basis. He came to the house the day before to see the dogs and go over feeding and meds and even cleaned the kennel area in the house garage before we got back. We look forward to having him back in the future.”

About: I have worked and shadowed at three veterinary clinics over the past three years, where I have cared for many dogs and cats, along with their numerous needs. I also have a dog and two cats at home that I take on walks, feed daily, and play with. I am currently shadowing two veterinary practices part-time, where I have improved my animal caregiving skills. I am available the majority of the week to provide pet care for others, as can be seen on my calendar. I have very good time management skills and I will always put your pet’s care as my first priority. I will make sure to follow any and all instructions given to me for caring for your pet, and I will be very respectful of your home in the process.

About: With over 10 years of experience breeding, raising and caring for dogs, I have worked extensively with Rottweilers, Pitbulls, Shihpoohs, Shihtzus, and Frenchies. I live on 2 acres of land, providing plenty of space for dogs to safely play, explore, and enjoy outdoors! As a busy and large family, dogs in our care are accustomed to a loving, family friendly environment filled with attention, affection, and companionship. Over the years, I have also cared for numerous dogs belonging to family members and friends, treating each one as if they were my own. I am passionate about canine health and wellness. I prioritize high quality nutrition, offer raw diet feeding options upon owner request, and regularly incorporate healthy organic fruits and natural treats into our feeding routines. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching home where your dog feels comfortable, loved and part of the family while you’re away. I am a business owner who work right at home, where I care for our own dogs and our clients dogs. I have ample time to dedicate to your pet daily. I have allocated kennels and open land for the dogs to exercise and play. I have limited neighbors, and an entire facility for comfortable and personable sleeping arrangements and cooling/heating depending on outdoor weather.

About: Over the past year, I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions. Every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have experience administering medications to senior dogs and understand the importance of following care instructions carefully and consistently. Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. When I house sit, I also take great pride in caring for your home. I always aim to leave it cleaner than I found it, so you can come home to happy pets and a tidy, well-cared-for space. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing both your furry family members and your home are in caring, reliable hands. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm. I work part-time with flexible hours, giving me plenty of space in my schedule for peaceful walks, playtime, and check-ins with pets. I’m used to creating a balanced routine around my own dog, and bringing that same calm, attentive energy to other pets feels completely natural. I am currently free to sit/walk any day of the week as well as house sit for as long as you need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for them. I follow your routines exactly as you outline them — from feeding instructions to walk times to any training cues your dog is used to. I keep doors and gates secured, monitor their body language closely, and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. Trust is extremely important to me, so I communicate clearly, send updates/photos, and treat your home with the same respect and care I treat your pet.

About: I have owned dogs and cats my entire life. Additionally, I have volunteered time with professional trainers, learning tips and tricks along the way. I love them all the way from pups to grey hairs. I am a realtor, so I am set my own schedule daily. This will allow me to easily help with your fur-baby any day of the week. Happy to stay in your home so that your pet doesn't get disturbed by an environment change. I can easily transport them to any vet should there be a need for emergency services.

“Courtney is magnificent. We have an older cat, who demands lots of attention. We were worried about going away for such a long time, but Courtney gave her extra cuddles and really spent a lot of time with her. It really gave us peace of mind to know our "Old Lady" was in such good hands.”

Beth is the best sitter ive ever had! I hired her to drop in twice a day for 8 days for 4 cats so it was a big job! She went above and beyond to make sure all the cats got the individual attention they needed not to feel lonely. She sent pictures & videos and her communication was impeccable! I would highly recommend her and plan to book her again! 🐾

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Milford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Milford is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $34 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 528 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Milford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , 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:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
