“Our critters and us…..loved Brianna! So nice to know we have a special person we can trust and count on in the future to care for our fur babies when we can’t take them with us. Thanks much, Brianna!”
“Anna took great care of our pups, kitty, and home while we were away. We've used Anna for dog walking before her weeklong stay in our home, and the animals love her. Anna is very gentle and kind, and that reflects when we've seen her interact with all of our animals. She made sure to stay in communication with us and send great pictures to make us feel at ease. We plan on continuing to hire Anna for dog walking or future pet sitting.”
About: Caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for more than 20 years. I started dog walking for neighbors when I was just 10 years old, and that love of animals eventually grew into professional pet-sitting work. I have worked for two professional pet-sitting companies for a combined 20 years, caring for dogs, cats, and pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and routine. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and my goal is to make you feel completely comfortable knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and cuddles. Your pets will be treated like family while they’re in my care. I also have extensive experience with senior pets and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and learn what makes them happiest! ❤️🐾 My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to work pet sitting and dog walking into my week. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s needs and find a schedule that works well for everyone. I have many many years of experience as a professional pet sitter. I am thoroughly trained in keeping your pet safe. Your home will be respected and taken care of, your pets will be treated with kindness and kept safe.
“Becki went and above and beyond while house sitting and taking care of our beloved tripod. She took such good care of our pup. She followed all instructions and requests and even took her out on additional walks. Becki is the best!”
“Sophia stayed with our three pups during the blizzard week. Not only were our fur babies well cared for, she did an outstanding, above and beyond job caring for our home. We would absolutely have her come stay again! Highly recommend.”
“Salina was an awesome sitter for our dog, Beck! Beck isn’t the easiest dog, but Salina got along really well with him and took great care of him! We would love to have her sit again for Beck sometime!”
“Julia was fantastic! She treated Eddie like he was her own dog! She communicated with me throughout the stay with updates and photos. We felt so comfortable with Julia in our home and it was easy to see that Eddie enjoyed being with Julia.”
About: Animal wellbeing has been a passion of mine since a young age. I started pet sitting and dog walking (individual and pack walks) in 2017. For me, it's easy to treat other people's pets like my own! I use Rover for my own pets, so I know firsthand how crucial excellent and reliable pet care is for our fury family members. Fear free certified since 2022 I’m available for walks and drop ins 7 days a week and boarding from Friday evenings through Sunday nights. Feel free to reach out with specific dates/times! I love visiting pets in their home because so many are comfier staying in their own space while they wait for their humans to return. I know firsthand how important a predictable routine is for our pets.
“Jill did a great job She had to fill in at the last minute do to an illness of our original sitter She had to meet and greet on her own The house was left in great shape and she did a great job taking care of our dog I would highly recommend her”
About: I have 4 years of senior care experience, dog/ cat sitting, and am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese. I love being outdoors and getting to work with families who like to build routine into their fur babies’ lives. I am a morning person! I am up early and available for routine weekday walks. I enjoy caring for others, their pets, and creating a comfortable environment. I take care of an elderly woman and her 2 dogs and 2 cats. Everyday, we all go outside for fresh air and go on neighborhood walks. When her family goes away, I always house sit in the weekends and enjoy caring for her pets.
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have cared for farm animals my whole life. I’ve dog sat for a variety of breeds for neighbors as well as friends and family. I am dog sitting to make some extra money while I am putting myself through grad school so my schedule is flexible depending on your needs! I won’t be having any animals at my house as I have two dogs here already. They’re friendly but another animal would be too much for the house. I make sure I know the animals needs and any information relevant to caring for your pet!
“We really appreciate that Jamie spent the day with Fynn- she showed up on time, communicated both in advance and during the visit, and provided multiple updates and peace of mind while we were away. Would recommend!”
“Jennifer is excellent. Our dog and the rest of the family love her. We don’t worry at all because we know she will take good care of her. She genuinely cares and loves animals. So thankful for Jennifer.”
“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful with our dog! ❤️ She was so loving, caring, and attentive, and we could tell right away that he was in great hands. She did an amazing job keeping up with his usual routine and schedule, including his meds and she made sure to spend some time playing with him and giving him attention. We really appreciated how regularly she shared updates with us, and we especially loved receiving all the pictures—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, our dog was so happy and comfortable with Stephanie! It was clear that he truly enjoyed spending time with her. We would definitely recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Highly recommended! 🐾❤️”
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I’ve raised and cared for an Akita mix and a Maine Coon cat who both lived exceptionally long, happy lives—thanks to the wholesome, low‑stress lifestyle they enjoyed on the farm. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment for every animal in my care. Since losing my own pets, I’ve truly missed the companionship and joy they brought to my daily routine. Pet sitting gives me the chance to reconnect with that love while offering dependable, thoughtful care to your pet. Whether they need exercise, affection, structure, or simply someone patient and attentive, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and well‑loved while you’re away. 🌟What to Expect When You Book With Me 🌟As a stay‑at‑home mom to a 9‑month‑old, I’m able to offer a high level of flexibility and consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone, and I maintain a calm, predictable routine that helps animals feel secure and comfortable. 🌟Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, you can expect reliable communication, timely updates, and thoughtful attention to their individual needs. I’m home the majority of the time (and when I’m not home, dogs come with me) which allows me to closely follow feeding schedules, outdoor routines, activity play, and any special instructions you provide. 🌟Pets in my care enjoy a balanced, enriching routine that keeps them active, relaxed, and mentally stimulated. Each day includes plenty of outdoor time, whether that’s a peaceful walk around the property, a short hike on nearby trails, or a visit to one of the local parks for fresh air and new sights. Throughout the day, I maintain a steady rhythm of play, rest, and companionship. Because I’m home full‑time, your pet receives consistent attention and engagement, with activities tailored to their energy level and personality. Whether they thrive on adventure or prefer gentle outings and quiet time, I make sure their day feels fulfilling, safe, and enjoyable. 🌟Care in My Home I live on a quiet farm property at the end of a dead‑end road. This means no through‑traffic, no noise disruptions, and a peaceful setting that helps pets settle in easily. The property has spacious front and back yard areas for supervised outdoor time, and the living space itself is clean, organized, and free of hazards. Because I’m home throughout the day, your pet receives steady attention, consistent monitoring, and a predictable routine that supports their comfort and safety. 🌟Care in Your Home When caring for pets in their own environment, I focus on maintaining the routines and expectations they already know. I follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and stay attentive to details like feeding schedules, gates, doors, and any special safety considerations you share. This helps your pet feel grounded and secure while you’re away. Across all services, I value trust, communication, and reliability. You can expect thoughtful decision‑making, clear updates, and a steady, caring presence dedicated to keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and understood.
About: I’m a dedicated dog caregiver with 8+ years as a dog owner. My own F1B Goldendoodle, Jake, taught me hands-on care, training, and managing dietary needs. I’m comfortable with dogs that have GI conditions and I bring a calm, compassionate healthcare perspective (CMA at MRMC). I volunteer with Hotel for Homeless Dogs in Cumberland, RI, and offer reliable, safe, and tailored care with clear updates. Availability: weekdays 8:30–5, weekends and evenings, quick 12–1 drop-ins, and local overnight stays (Milford/Hopedale/Mendon). I can offer drop-ins between 12:00–1:00 PM, quick walks, and evening visits. I am most flexible with weekend and evening care, with opportunities for overnight stays when local (Milford, Hopedale, Mendon). I’ll mix regular walks, play, and training reinforcement to match each dog’s needs. I maintain consistent ritual cues (feeding times, potty breaks, naps) and share updates via text and photos! I treat every dog as a member of the family, providing a safe, loving environment with supervision, comfortable space, and appropriate exercise. I tailor activities to each dog’s temperament and energy level, and I monitor for any dietary or GI sensitivities as I do with my own dog. I’ll follow any essential specific instructions necessary, any information on behavior / temperament is helpful to me!
About: I’ve always known I wanted to be around dogs, that I’ve taken care of my families dog across states and stayed as long as wanted willingly, never asked for Pet care is an enjoyment for me as I’m an animal lover and have done a couple pre vet classes in college that i still attend I have two dogs of my own at home and take them out separately. I take my smaller dog out every two hours & play as i have a big backyard
“Bianca & Elizabeth did a wonderful job house sitting my two very senior dogs. They both required administering medications as well as specialized care being seniors. It was evident that Bianca & Elizabeth had experience with dogs and felt comfortable caring for them. Both of my dogs immediately took to Bianca & Elizabeth during our first meet and greet. Bianca was also very responsive with communication and sent pictures with updates during our time away which was greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend them for any type of pet care, and will be booking again for our next trip.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Milford is $60

Tori was amazing while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon. She stayed at our home for 10 days with our two XL bullies, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. We originally booked for 3 dogs, but had to put our Frenchie, Izzy, down the week before we left. Tori was incredibly understanding and even helped us figure out the refund for the third dog during such a difficult time, which meant so much to us. She communicated consistently, sent photos, and took great care of our dogs. They were happy and well cared for when we got back. She also went above and beyond by cleaning the floors, washing towels, and even changing the couch cover before we came home. Highly recommend Tori, reliable, thoughtful, and truly cares.
Laura did an amazing job with our cat Moo. She took excellent care of his medical needs and made sure to give him lots of snuggles. She also left our home in a very clean state. She even took out the trash and washed her linens. We would love to hire Laura again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Milford on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,180 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.

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.
