“I just tried this type of service for the first time and it was a great experience. Bre met with me on short notice and was very knowledgeable about all the details. She was able to book an overnight stay very quickly with my little Yorkie. She answered all of my questions and I could tell she was very experienced. Since I was out of town, she notified me as soon as she arrived and sent a short video of her interaction with my pet. She let me know when she left the next day and I was charged for the service after it had been completely provided. I will definitely use her services again and I highly recommend Bre!”
“At the end of the day, neither one's dog, nor one's house can speak, but when you come home to your house as clean as the way you left it (if that is something important to you, if not perhaps cleaner?), and your dog is calm and happy to see you but not desperate, you can get a pretty clear picture of the experience they had. And there is no doubt in my mind that Dusti-Lee and my dog bonded-- in fact, when it came time to go to sleep, I had to carry my pup back to my room from the bed where she had been sleeping with Dusti. So my review is YES, Dusti will take care of your most precious beings and home as it if were hers. I am very grateful to have benefitted from her careful and attentive care!”
“We are so lucky to have found Julia! Another great stay for Eddie! She is always quick to respond to messages and keeps us updated throughout the entire stay. We know Eddie is in good hands when Julia is with him!”
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
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, always having one in my family and watching family and friends dogs. I spent my quarantine taking care of my very hyper and energetic puppy. I also care for family and friends dogs when they go out of town or need me too. I’m currently enrolled at UMass Amherst, where I am currently a Senior. I typically use time between or after classes for pet care and take advantage of the weekends. As an active individual, I would be able to take your dog out whenever they need to, as well as having a large backyard for them to play.
“Kiley took fabulous care of our dog, two cats, and home! She was incredibly communicative and thoughtful with her messages. She left our home in wonderful shape after house-sitting for a few days and concluded her stay with a photoshoot of all our little fur babies. Thank you, Kiley!”
“Nicole did an excellent job watching our dog, Hazel, overnight. We were very pleased with her care and professionalism. She arrived on time, communicated with us throughout her stay with Hazel and sent pictures that gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Hazel was well cared for and comfortable, and we truly appreciated Nicole's reliability and attention to detail. We are so happy to have found Nicole and will definitely have her watch Hazel again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Amy took very good care of my two cats. She sends pictures to me everyday which is a blessing, knowing that the kitties are doing good. She is very responsive and easy to communicate. Would recommend to everyone in need a kitty friend.”
“Kel is wonderful! Our sweet dog Bernie is always so happy and well cared for when we are away. Kel has stayed in our home twice while we have been away and we always return to a happy boy and a well cared for home. We highly recommend Kel for all your pet needs!”
“Laura is, without a doubt, the best pet sitter we've ever had. She took exceptional care of our dogs, and we came home to two happy, tired golden retrievers and a house that was even cleaner than when we left. Laura is trustworthy, incredibly kind, thoughtful, and an excellent communicator. She kept us updated with adorable photos of our dogs throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. As if that weren't enough, we returned home to find two beautifully wrapped, framed photos of our pups—a thoughtful surprise that truly went above and beyond. We can't recommend Laura highly enough. Don't hesitate to book her—you and your pets will be in the best hands.”
About: Volunteer at the Hotel for Homeless dogs for 4 years now. Lifetime pet owner with much experience. No age, size, or breed I would not care for. Currently Radiology student at CCRI. Set to graduate in May 2027. Take my responsibilities and duties very seriously. I would treat your animals like they were my own. I have my own vehicle and means of transportation. Whether it’s a drop in visit, walking or sitting I will make sure to tend to their needs.
“Amazing dog sitter. She communicated well, took great care of our puppies and shared lots of nice photos. Daisy has been looking around for her all day. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I've taken care of my own dogs since I was a kid, they are both senior dogs and one of them has been with me ever since he was a puppy, so have experience with dogs both young and old. I feed them every day twice a day and (when necessary) give them baths. Additionally, I often look after my neighbor's dog as well which I've been doing for many years. I always make sure she gets plenty of walks, food, and play time. More recently I've gotten to learn more about taking care of cats. I have not had a cat of my own, but I was lucky enough to live with a friend who had a cat for 3/4 of my college years, and I greatly enjoyed playing with her and making sure she was happy. I'm a recent college graduate and I'm currently home looking for part time/full-time work, so I am available all day to look after dogs, cats, or other pets. I have a small fenced in yard that I can bring any dogs to, there are also a few parks near me that I can bring dogs to as well if they prefer a bigger play/run around space. I also have plenty of dog toys and treats that my dogs can share with others.
“Marie was an absolute joy and took amazing care of my cat, Arbie, and dog, Tycho. Not only was she willing to sit with fairly short notice but did everything right. 12/10 would recommend! 😊”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog sitter who truly loves spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. i just joined Rover, but I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience volunteering and caring for animals, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, structure, and lots of affection. I work full time during the week, but I always make time in my schedule to provide reliable care for pets. I plan ahead to ensure I can give each dog the attention, walks, and care they need, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends. I’m committed to being dependable and making sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow all feeding instructions, walk schedules, and any special care needs, including medications if required. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so the pet doesn’t feel alone while their owner is away. I treat each home with respect and keep everything clean and tidy, and I always provide updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.
About: I have been providing in-home pet care for over 4 years now, with plenty of experience walking, caring for, and loving dogs. I have administered medicine, and am cpr and first-aid certified. I currently have 1-2 daily walks scheduled everyday Monday-Friday, and am looking to add up to 6 walks everyday! I’m hoping to have breaks between every 2-3 walks in order to care for any pet I am currently caring for in-home. I will always meet you and your pet(s) before any one on one care to ensure that we are a perfect match! Your pet’s comfort and happiness is my top priority.
“Anna was wonderful! Kind, responsive, and clearly our dogs adored her, which was a huge comfort to us while being out of town for several days. We can't wait to use her again, and I know the pups will miss her until then!”

Stephanie helped us out in a jam when our long term pet sitter did not feel comfortable with giving a pill by hand in the mouth of our cat every other day. Stephanie felt comfortable with doing this and made friends with the 2 cats quickly. She watched them overnight for a 9-day trip. She is conscientious. I plan on hiring her again.
Dusti Lee is one of the best dog sitters a dog mom has ever dreamed of. Ollie was in good hands while I was on the longest trip away from my little guy. He was well cared for, and I received several photos that put many of my worries to rest. So thankful we found this gem. Thank you, Dusti Lee!! From Ollie and Emmaline
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Milford is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $115 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 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.
