Pets respond well to my gentle energy and I take time to make sure they feel safe comfortable and loved. I follow routines carefully and treat every pet like family what sets me apart is my steady presence, compassion and genuine love for animals. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I already spent a lot of time at home and I enjoy slow intentional days so caring for pets blends easily with my schedule. I’m consistent dependable and able to give animals the calm attention they need throughout the day. I care for pets with a calm, steady and attentive approach in your home.

“We’ve relied on Haley three times to care for our dogs and each time she’s done a great job- very communicative, thoughtful and cares for our dogs well. She’s been great for a week long trip as well even a one time drop in when we took a long day trip. Highly recommend Haley”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7! I’ve been passionate about dogs since I was little. I am experienced in bathing, walking, playing, and caring. I am very careful, gentle, and respectful towards all animals big and small. I’m currently free most days of the week. Weekly appointments on Tuesdays would only affect the late morning/afternoon schedule. I do race within a barrel racing circuit that runs on MOST weekends. If I do not have races I will be free. This is only in the summertime. During the fall/winter/partly spring I will be back in university making time a little more sparse. During those times I will be only available on weekends. I have much respect for any environment. IF in your house, please do not be afraid to tell me anything important that I would need to know. I will always be sure to keep your puppies and kitties safe no matter what!! Animal safety is my number one priority.

About: I love working with dogs, they bring happiness to my life! I have 2 dogs on my own that I walk every day. I pay very close attention to my dogs when I am walking them. I treat them as I would my own children. My house is dog safe because my own fur babies love to get into things they shouldn't, which has improved my techniques as an owner. As a dog loving house, there are treats and food available always. I am a big believer in fresh water daily for my pets. I have been around dogs since I was little, I love to care for them and know how read their body language. I started pet sitting for my family and friends. I have a fenced house where dogs can play safely. In my house dogs can be on the couch. I will spend time playing and caring for your dog or cat as well as walking with them.

Alexia did a good job for me with day visits for my two senior dogs during a long weekend. She was located not too far from me. Communication with her was great and I received updates and pictures. There was an unanticipated schedule change for which I was given immediate notice and an immediate refund. This was my first experience with Rover.com and I am pleased with the service. I will be contacting Alexia for her services in the future.
Aubrey did a wonderful job dropping in for my dog Lou. Aubrey knew we’d be gone for a long day so she made sure to spend lots of time playing with Lou to get her energy out. She gave a cute picture and a very detailed update which reassured us that our sweet girl was in great hands and that all of our instructions were being followed perfectly. We will definitely be having Aubrey back again and highly recommend her!

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.
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!
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.

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 Meet & Greet .
