“Jason was attentive and attuned to Fennel and sent us lots of pictures across his extended weekend stay. He has a lovely house and wonderful large fenced yard for the pups to play in. We’d board Fennel again with him next time we fly out of Newark!”
“My pup came home happy and tired!!! Ana was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the whole process and made sure to send me a picture of my girl every day!! I would absolutely bring her back and recommend Ana to anyone!!!”
“Barbara was wonderful! It was immediately obvious that she genuinely enjoys caring for dogs. She was very detailed in her engagement, both in person and over the app. All around a very good person. Unfortunately I did not get the opportunity to meet James. Next time hopefully.”
“Purvi did an amazing job watching Lola while I was away for a couple days! It was Lola’s first time with a sitter so I was nervous but Purvi consistently kept me updated and with photos. Highly recommend :)”
“Steven was flexible and easy to work with. He seems to be very knowledgable about dogs and treats them with care. I received regular updates and photos while we were away. I think that Dusty enjoyed his stay!”
“Mariia is AMAZING! She sent us updates and pictures every day of our cat she was watching. She is very thorough with our cat's needs. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worry because we knew Oreo was well taken care of. Mariia is very nice and we will definitely be using her again! Oreo misses her!”
“I had a wonderful experience. Kadie took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos. She was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, attentive dog sitter! Thank you so much for loving my dog as if he was yours! 😊”
“Sara's care for our dog Autumn was excellent. Autumn is a high energy dog than need room to run. While staying with Sara, Autumn was very much at ease. We will definitely look to Sara for the care of our dog in the future.”
“Marleny R. did a great job sitting Simone, our year old golden retriever. As we left, I saw Simone jumping and running after a toy in the back yard with Marleny's spouse and when we returned Simone seemed very content. This was her first time away from us since she was eight weeks old. I plan to use Marleny as a sitter in the future and will recommend her to friends.”
“Ceinwen was absolutely AMAZING with our little Penelope. She was so spoiled and loved on, I didn't have to worry about anything. We received daily pictures and videos, it was great. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Thank you so much Melissa and Angel! It was my first time using them and they made me feel at ease. They send me pictures and updates throughout the whole stay on how Rocky was doing. See you guys soon!”
“Scott was incredible with Mocha. My family was away on vacation when a huge storm washed away the local highway. Scott brought his family and our Mocha to safety until it was safe to return. I couldn't imagine what would have happened if she was in a kennel with 30 other dogs and that happened!! Scott also sent us pictures every day and we could see she was very relaxed and happy to be there. Thank You Scott!!”
“Coleen was amazing! This is our first time using Rover and we were alittle worried with leaving our high energy pup cooper in another persons home but Coleen was so welcoming and definitely knows her stuff when it comes to dogs. From the meet and greet to drop off and picking him up it couldn’t have gone better. She sent updates and lots of photos throughout coopers 2 night stay. I highly recommend her and will definitely reach out to her if needed again! She will be our first go to if she’s available ❤️”
“Bobbi is the best !! We felt so comfortable dropping off our 1.5yr old labradoodle knowing she was in good hands. Bobbi is so lovely, caring, and always kept us in the loop. Would definitely recommend / utilize again 💕”
“Allison was great with my three furbabies. They were well feed and received so much love from her and her family. Thank you for taking care of them. She was super flexible and very kind.”
“We left Keenu with Noria for the whole day. And he loved it. She was very nice and accommodative of my timings (as it was a work day). Her loads of pics and videos about Keenu’s well being were well appreciated throughout the day. We will definitely reach out again to her for our next dog sitting need. Thank you !”
“Audrey and Dan provided my 2 energetic labs with an stress-free, fun and loving environment while we were away. Our one lab is a rescue and can become quite anxious; Audrey and her family are very familiar with how fragile a rescue dog can sometimes be and they did a wonderful job helping him to be comfortable in their home, relax and have fun. You can tell right away that they love dogs!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Milford
Thank you Donna!! Our fur babies love you. Beckett is thrilled that you understand his version of morris code, eye blinks and is especially thankful that you were willing to add peas to your shopping list!! It would have been a long week without them. You make our time away from them so much mire enjoyable knowing they are safe and well loved.
We left our dog Darby with Jason overnight. As a rescue, she has her share of issues including separation anxiety. Judging by the photos, Jason made time to help her feel comfortable in her new surroundings and soon enough, she was hanging out with the other dogs. He is responsive and accommodating. We look forward to our next visit.
We left our dog with Jason for about a week. He had never been away from our family before and Jason was so accommodating! He sent us daily photos and did everything to ease our nerves. We our so grateful to have found Jason and would definitely feel comfortable leaving our dog with him again!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Milford can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Milford home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Milford.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Milford. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Milford sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
