About: As a lifelong animal lover and cat owner, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, attentive to senior pets who may need extra care and monitoring, and comfortable following detailed instructions, including administering medications when needed. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care! * Tuesday–Thursday: In-office in Novi from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM * Friday–Monday: Working remotely from home with a flexible schedule On my remote days, I’m able to provide more frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Even on my in-office days, I’m available before and after work and can accommodate morning, evening, and overnight care. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. My biggest goal is to reduce as much stress as possible while you’re away by keeping your pet’s routine consistent and providing a calm, loving environment where they feel secure. I understand that every pet is different—some want constant attention and playtime, while others prefer quiet companionship and their own space. I take the time to learn their personality, habits, and needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for.

“Rhiannon was absolutely amazing housesitting our 2 dogs, who are 3 and 8 years old, while we were out of town. She was very flexible in coming over to meet our dogs prior to watching them. Both our dogs loved her immediately. We definitely will be rebooking her in the future while we are out of town.”

About: My pet care journey all started a few years ago when my grandparents got two very young puppies at the same time. I helped care for them whilst my grandparents were away. Through my experience, I realized that emotional care needs are just as important as physical care needs for dogs. A main focus of mine is establishing an emotional connection with my clients, gaining their trust, therefore elevating their care experience. Throughout the years, I was also my aunt’s senior dog Coco’s primary caregiver when she traveled for work. She has some mobility issues in which I assisted her with, as well as administering her medication. I also have a senior dog of my own that I’ve had since youth, so I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I am currently working a full time 9-5. My place of work is closed on Sundays, as well as short days on Saturdays, so my primary availability is on weekends. But I am also open to evening week day care or walks for your pets! My primary focus is on your pet, and your pet only. I am very respectful of other’s spaces, and keeping a safe environment just as safe as it was when I entered it.

He sent pictures and kept in contact with us while we were gone, This was our first time using Rover and we felt very comfortable with Nick. The dogs were well cared for. We would love to use his services again.”

She sent picture updates everyday of them playing in the yard and cuddling. She also took excellent care of my house, I couldn't even tell anyone had been there when I got home. 10/10 would recommend. I will be using her every time I go out of town from now on.”

About: I love all animals as if they were my own! I’ve grown up with cats, and I have my own furry friend named Baloo. I also have experience dog sitting. I’ve cared for both Golden Retrievers, and German Shepards. I have experience administering medicine with my family cats who are on thyroid medicine, and I can stick to strict feeding schedules. I currently work with kids at an autism center Monday through Friday. Mondays, and Wednesdays I am off at 4 pm. Tuesdays and Fridays I am off at 3:15 pm. Thursdays my mornings are free before 11 am and I am off at 7pm. My weekend availability varies! Unfortunately, I can’t watch animals in my own house due to having my own cats. However, I am more than happy to stay in your place and follow your typical rules!

“Diandra was incredible! She was so communicative and so kind! She left our house in SPARKLING shape- I think it was cleaner when we got home than when we left! She swung with some annoyances too- our house lost power in 95 degree weather and I messed up our days off and asked literally the day before she was going to leave if she could spend an extra night. She was super easy going about both. I feel so lucky we found her and I will absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I used to go over to my neighbors house to play with their German Shepard before finally convincing my parents to get a dog of our own. I play with and love on all the dogs in my neighborhood (6) whenever I see them. Dogs bring me so much happiness and I truly can’t imagine my life without them. For the past 7 years, I have dog sat/house sat for family and friends, to make sure the dog does not experience stress from leaving home and taking care of mail and garage days for their peace of mind as well. I have stayed and watched dogs for over a week while they were on vacation, or for their simple weekend get away. I enjoy staying in with the dogs and getting some good cuddles. I have experience giving on time and correct medication to 3 dogs, as well as keeping consistent to their diet and feeding schedule. I do work full time but I enjoy spending my weekends relaxing and being around dogs, whether that will be your dog, or just my neighbors dogs. When staying at your home, I will abide by any and all rules you have for you dog, down to the T. I will treat your dog as my own and treat your house with respect as I would hope someone would mine. I, personally, feel it’s important to stay with the dog the whole time I am with them so I often do not leave the home, as a comfort to the dog(s) and to the owners to know someone is always there.

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.

“Skye was fantastic with our puppy. We were especially impressed by how attentive and proactive Skye was — taking the time to learn her cues and routines, working with her on training, and even noticing things that helped us after we came home. Skye was incredibly organized, communicative, honest, and took initiative whenever something came up. We came home to a happy puppy who had actually made progress while we were gone. It was very clear that Skye put a lot of thought and effort into caring for her, and we would absolutely trust Skye with her again.”

Darian did such an AMAZING job with my pups! One of my pups unfortunately got sick right before my trip, and Darian took wonderful care of him while I was gone. She went above and beyond and had to clean up some unfortunate messes, and did a great job keeping me updated on how they both were doing. Very pleased and highly recommend

Carolyn was wonderful with my dog, Daisy. She stayed in my home while caring for Daisy and was very respectful of both my house and my belongings. Daisy has high anxiety and does best when she can stick to her normal daily routine, and Carolyn did an excellent job maintaining her feeding and walking schedule. What stood out most was how comfortable Daisy was with Carolyn right away, which is rare for her. Carolyn spent quality time playing with her, giving her attention, and even tucking her in at night. It gave me peace of mind knowing Daisy was being cared for with so much patience and kindness. I would absolutely book Carolyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Milford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Milford is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $60 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 2,270 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 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Milford. On Rover:

  • 91% 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.
