“I was very nervous leaving my sweet hound, once a stray, with anyone but my own mom, but when she moved out of state, I had to find someone. I could not have found better hands to leave Loretta in! Julie cared for her perfectly, sent updates, gave her the perfect amount of alone time, and supervised time outside with other sweet dogs. I picked her up on a windy night, but I don’t think that was the only reason Loretta was reluctant to get in the car, I think she truly loved her new extended family!”
“Rosie and Teddy were well cared for during their stay. I felt very comfortable leaving the dogs in her care and will definitely use her again in the future. I enjoyed seeing photos and getting updates of their weekend with her!”
“Joseph and Alexandra have taken amazing, above-and-beyond care of my dog. She is so happy when we go, and loves playing with their dogs. They are excellent communicators and we get frequent updates when she is there. I’m so happy that our pup has found a home away from home.”
“Gilly had a great stay over the holidays with Bridget. We appreciated all of the video and photo updates - it was pretty clear Gilly was getting a solid amount of time outside, playing fetch, and having a great stay.”
“Anthony and Zanely took such good care of our dog while we were away. They kept us updated, took her on adventures, and spent quality time with her. Would definitely recommend them!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Matt and Patty provided for our Golden Retriever during the 10 nights we were out of the country. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care. We were able to visit their home beforehand, and they have a wonderful setup, including a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for him to play. Throughout our trip, Matt and Patty sent us frequent updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. They took him on daily walks around the neighborhood, gave him lots of attention, and it was very clear that he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. What really stood out to us was how they handled a day when he wasn’t feeling well and developed some stomach issues. Matt immediately contacted us, proactively made an appointment with the vet, and made sure we were comfortable with him taking our dog in to be seen. Afterward, Matt and Patty followed the vet’s recommendations closely and even cooked rice and beef for his meals for several days while his stomach recovered. They truly cared for him as if he were their own. When we returned, we came home to a very happy puppy, and we could tell he had been loved and well cared for the entire time. We are so excited to have found Matt and Patty. Finding people you can completely trust with your dog while you’re away is incredibly important, and we feel very fortunate to have found such reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring sitters. We would absolutely recommend them and will not hesitate to have them care for our dog again!”
“Excellent experience! We needed last minute overnight care for our two dogs and Kexin and Carlos were great. Very communicative and sent pictures/videos throughout, but also sent us home with a couple printed photos of our dogs enjoying their time. Their dog and cats were friendly with our dogs as well. Would recommend to anyone! Thank you!”
“Gus had a great time with Sara and her doggos! He came home tired and happy. During the heat wave, she kept them cool by filling up some kiddie pools and letting them play and splash around. The next time we go away, Gus will definitely enjoy staying with Sara again!”
“Dobbs is family to me, so finding someone I trust isn't easy. Melissa exceeded every expectation. From the moment I dropped him off until I picked him up, she kept me updated with photos and messages that showed him happy, comfortable, and having a wonderful time. Seeing him playing, relaxing, and making new friends made it clear he wasn't just being watched—he was being cared for and loved. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Melissa, for treating my boy like one of your own. We'll definitely be back.”
“Adreine took great care of our dog during our week long vacation. She supplied us with daily updates and videos of her getting exercise during walks or in her fenced in backyard. We highly recommend this very professional sitter!”
“Svetlana was really great with my 4year old cockerpoo. She was responsive to my inquiry, met up with us for a meet & greet, and seemed to really enjoy hosting my pooch. We’re all in for our next visit ! 🐾🐾”
About: We are an experienced dog-friendly household! We’ve cared for our own dogs as well as friends and family’s, including puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special diets. My mother has fostered numerous dogs in the past. We currently have one 75 lb neutered mutt and a very friendly cat. I’m currently working as a server, so my schedule is different every week, but I often have three days off per week and all mornings free. My mom works during the day with some work from home days as well, so she is usually around in the evenings. We have a fenced in yard and one dog who is always happy to have another one to run around with. We’re happy to crate your dog if needed or work on training.
“I can't thank Henry and Krista enough for taking such great care of my dog! As a self-proclaimed "helicopter dog parent," I tend to worry when I'm away, but Henry and Krista put my mind at ease every step of the way. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages about how my dog was doing, and followed all of my care instructions. It was clear that they genuinely cared for her, and she ended up bonding with them beautifully. She's has made two new friends! I highly recommend Henry and Krista, and I will definitely be using their services again in the future.”
“Lingwen was AMAZING! She made Nico feel super comfortable at her home and welcomed. Lingwen sent updates and pictures of Nico thought out the stay which we loved. Thank you much again for caring for Nico! If you’re looking for a sitter, do not hesitate to book her. She’s the best :)”

I can’t recommend Kristen enough! I have been looking for someone to care for my dog while I go away on trips that wasn’t just friends and family doing favors but was nervous leaving him for the first time. Kristen was so kind and loving to my pup, he looked like he has a smile in every pic she shared with me. He came home happy and stress free!! It felt like he went on his own vacation too:)
Julie and team were awesome, daily updates, terrific accommodations and the perfect yard for hours of playtime. Our Luke enjoyed his stay and meeting, mingling and playing with the other guests. Highly recommend if you are in the MetroWest area, conveniently located and superior communications.
Jen took wonderful care of Pixie. I’m sure Pixie had a great time staying at her home. Jen was very attentive to Pixie’s picky eating habits and sensitive stomach, which I really appreciated. She also kept me updated with frequent photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind. We will definitely be booking with her again soon—thank you, Jen!
I would give Dave a really good review. Hannah seemed very comfortable there with Dave and captain. She was walked regularly and had access to the fenced in yard. Dave sent updates and pictures of the two dogs walking and hanging out. Would recommend and use again.

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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Milford can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Milford home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Milford.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Milford. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Milford sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
