About: I’ve had dogs in my family for as long as I can remember, and I currently live with my American Staffordshire Terrier. I’ve also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ cats. I’m comfortable with high-energy and strong breeds, as well as more low-key cats. I’ve helped manage feeding schedules, basic training, and day-to-day care for multiple pets at once. Your pet will get my full attention. I send photo updates and treat every animal like my own! I’m generally available most afternoons and weekends (some Saturdays and all Sundays) for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. My schedule can shift week to week, so please check my calendar or message me for current availability. I’ll do my best to work around your needs! I provide care exclusively at the client’s home, so your pet stays in their familiar environment with their normal routine, food, and bedding. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or in-home boarding, I focus on keeping things consistent: sticking to their regular schedule, giving them attention and exercise, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.
About: I work full-time from home in Amherst, meaning your dog will never be left alone or crated for long stretches. I have a large, fully fenced-in yard where guest dogs can run safely alongside my friendly 35 lb Rat Terrier/Beagle mix, Wally! Because I only host ONE client family at a time, your pet gets 100% of my attention, unlimited bathroom breaks, and constant supervision throughout the day. Whether it's lounging next to my desk or playing fetch in the yard, your dog will feel right at home. I work full-time from home, which means pet care seamlessly integrates into my day. Your dog won't be left alone or crated for hours while you're away. I take regular breaks throughout the day for yard play, potty breaks, and walks. Because I only take one client family at a time, your dog receives constant company alongside my friendly mix, Wally. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home features a fully fenced, secure backyard where dogs can run freely and safely. Inside, furniture privileges are welcome if that's what your pup is used to at home! Whether your dog is crate-trained or prefers lounging on a dog bed, I adapt to their normal routine. Mandatory meet-and-greets ensure everyone gets along before booking.
“Many thanks to Kathryn for doing a drop-in visit with my Australian Shepard who is recovering from surgery when I needed to be away for the evening. She was very patient with him walking around the yard while he did his business. I will book again.”
“This is our 3rd time using Jessica and she’s absolutely wonderful with Lucy. I’ve had Lucy since she was 12 weeks old and for the past 12 years traveling has been really difficult for me because of the guilt I felt leaving her. I’ve tried boarding her 3 times and she’s always been a nervous mess and I’ve never been happy with the places I’ve used...I find them to all be the same and the last thing I wanted was her to be caged. With that said, it’s so nice to be able to leave Lucy in the comfort of her home with Jessica stopping in 3 times a day and sending tons of pics and a detailed “pupdate”. We’re so thankful for how at ease she has made our traveling plans and taking such amazing care of our “baby”.”
“Nathan was awesome with Duke! His communication was amazing and ability to work with us and adjust was 10/10! Definitely would recommend and definitely will be using him again in the future!”
About: Hello! My name is Emily, and I have been working with animals for over 10 years now. I have owned my own pet sitting business since I was young and have worked in kennels and dog daycares. I have experience dealing with all kinds of animals, but dogs are my favorite! I am currently a full time dog trainer so I have experience with all breeds, ages and temperaments so please let me know if you are interested in my services, I would love to meet you and your dog! I also am able to do a little training with your fur baby while I stay with them if needed! I will make sure that your dog is well cared for and well loved, I love hiking, walking and just being outside so your pup will get lots of exercise when with me. I work full time, but usually get out of work on the earlier side and sometimes work can be flexible with hours so if I have to change them I can try. When I sit in your home I am very respectful. I will keep your house clean and take care of your dog as if they were my own.
“Susan genuinely cares about the pets she watches and gave our kitty, Ginger more love and attention with each visit than we could have wished for. I highly recommend her for pet care, especially for drop-in visits. She’s in a class all her own and will be our go-to provider forever.”
“Mikayla was a champ today. She got both of my dogs to go outside where one of them is nervous around new people. She followed instructions well and did a great job. Very good communicator and folk lots of pics. Thanks so much!!!”
About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, having grown up with both of them. I have such a high fondness! I have trained 4 puppies in the past few years so I am well equipped to handle the littlest of rascals. I also have senior care experience and reactive dog care experience. I am a senior at the University of Southern Maine, and have classes on primarily Tuesdays and Thursdays. Due to my light load on my last year, I am able to have high availability throughout the week especially mornings and afternoons. I do my best to provide as happy of an experience possible for the pets. I give them lots of pets, love, food, water, and whatever else is required for their care. If they need to be crated or put in a carrier I am able to do that. I am also able to trim nails or give medicine or anything of the sorts!
“Melissa's drop-in visit was prompt for the time requested. The pups loved spending time with her and she provided super pictures of her visit. I can highly recommend her for any of the services she offers.”
“Robert did a splendid job with our dog Rebel. We left him with instructions for food and medicine, and he carried them out faithfully. Robert was respectful, on-time, and thorough. We have already booked him again later this month!”
“she is the best ,when she is there you don't have worry about anything doing with your dogs,Very responsible, show s up on time and you have no worries and if there is a problem she will notify you and and take care of it.Thanks again ,Heather”
“Meg has checked in on my almost 4 month old Boxer puppy, Tide, a few times now and I have nothing but good things to say. She has been on time and provides thorough details about each visit. I love that I don’t have to worry about leaving Tide alone all day and it’s great not coming home to any accidents. Meg is very sweet and knows what she’s doing, I definitely recommend her services.”
“Alyssa has been taking care of our now 85lbs BIG BOY since Jan 2024 (when Bishop, our pitbull, was only 3 months old) Throughout the year, she has proven to be reliable, punctual, respectful, and understanding. Most importantly, Bishop loves seeing her and going on walks with her! Not only does she takes Bishop out for walks, but she take notice of things that could be of concern and address it for his safety, such as walking him on grass during the hot summer. She goes above and beyond and we couldn’t ask for a better walker! We appreciate all that she do!”
About: I am such a big dog lover that has loved dogs ever since I was a little girl. I am very passionate about dogs and I believe that dogs deserve the best care they need. I have been taking care of dogs and walking dogs ever since I was a little girl. I will take your dogs to the vets or trail locks if anything were to happen. If you’re going on vacation or if you need a dog walker I will be there for your dog and I will give your dog the best attention it needs and I will play with your dog and love your dog as well. Your dog will definitely have such a fun time with me because I will spoil it in the best way as possible. I am working a full-time job Monday through Friday and I’m available to take care of your pets right after I get out of work at 3:30 PM and I have full availability on weekends. I offer housesitting at the client’s house only. If I were to have animals at my house. My yard is partially fenced in, but not fully.

Susan was very quick to respond to my initial booking request and set up an initial time to meet with the cats, even with my request being over a holiday weekend. The visits went as expected and she provided thorough updates on the cats. I would definitely book with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Milford on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,306 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Milford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Milford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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. 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.

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.
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.
