“Dash loves Jason and greets him at the door for his visit while we are away! We appreciate the thoughtful care Jason provides to ensure Dash is comfortable and happy!”
“Katerina & Seth were AMAZING. She provided constant updates and tons of pictures. Even though we couldn't really answer as we were traveling out of the country, she still made sure we got our updates. Our pup absolutely adored them, and went above and beyond of drop in visits! I will recommend them to everyone and 100% use again !”
About: I’ve lived with at least one pet my entire life, and have come to understand that a furry presence is one of the things that makes a house a home (or, at least, one I want to live in.) Most people would describe me as that person at the party who would most likely be hiding under the table making friends with the host’s terrified Siamese mix, if that gives you any idea. I have the most experience with cats, but I love meeting dogs, rabbits and especially birds! I am also happy to consider barn/stable work, not just for equines but for goats, sheep, llamas… whatever! I love the exercise. Hope to meet your faithful companions soon! I’m currently working from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Definitely not an early morning person though, so I won’t be available until 9am. I will treat your home with respect and care, and take meticulous care of your property as well as your pets. Neither my very senior dog nor my deaf, older cat are fond of furry visitors, so watching your pets in my home isn’t an option.
About: Your pet’s new best friend and spoiler when you’re not around. With a degree in Animal Science and over 30 years of experience in everything from paws to claws (and even scales and feathers!), I’ve worked as a veterinary technician, an animal behaviorist (yes, I speak fluent dog AND cat), and I’ve even run my own pet care company for years providing daily walks, home visits and even house sitting. Whether your dog thinks they’re a couch potato or your cat is a secret ninja, I’m here to make sure they’re pampered, safe, and entertained. From horses to hedgehogs, I’ve got you covered – and their best interests are always my top priority. Your pets will be in the hands of an experienced professional who’s equally passionate about their care and keeping them spoiled while you're away. Looking forward to meeting your fur, feathered, or scaly family members soon! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to book a complimentary meet & greet session. I am currently working as a full-time teacher, but am very accommodating and flexible to stay overnight, do morning and afternoon visits to see your pets are safe and happy. On the weekends I can be there around the clock, but during the week I am away for work. Unfortunately, I don't offer sitting in my home. Landlord's rules, not mine. But I am happy to take care of your pets in their own environment by staying at yours, which research shows is less stressful and traumatic for your pet.
“This was our first experience working with Brittany and we are very happy with her work ethic and professionalism. We were in need of a pet sitter for a last minute family getaway and she answered my request and was at my door greeting and meeting our family/pets the very next morning! Brittany treated not only our pets with kindness and care but also was very respectful of our home. She was very thorough with updates and photos, which I appreciate very much! I would highly recommend Brittany and will absolutely be requesting her pet services again. So so happy we found Brittany through the Rover.com site!”
“Miah is fantastic! We can trust our pets are well taken care of. She is reliable and responsive and we can recommend her for a drop by or overnight sit. She will be our go-to sitter when we need to be gone.”
“Sheila did a great job with my very energetic "pups". She gave them the must needed attention that they crave and followed my instructions on how to take care of them. It was nice to know that while I was away I could trust that they were in good hands as not just anyone can handle them...I will definitely be calling on Sheila again in the future to take care of my girls.”
“Alexandra was great! She communicated her visit timing and updated me on Luna and her activities. I also was given a few cute pictures that made me feel relieved that she was doing well and in good hands. Will definitely book her again!”
About: I grew up in the countryside so i have always been around many animals since my childhood years. I've taken care of dogs and cats of many breeds , I grew up in DR so I had a dog whom gave birth 3 times within the same year and I delivered 9 pups each time. I took care and nurtured all of the pups prior to finding them a new home. I also always took care of two dogs my godfathers sisters had whenever she would travel to Florida they would stay with me. I do it because I love animals and rather make sure their in good care than looked at by someone who’s careless. I work at the wind creek , my free days are Sunday through Tuesday and I am available any time. Wednesday through Thursday from 7-5pm are my working hours. However on these days Between 6pm-10pm I can be available. If needed I can also stay the night , Feeding will be done at 5:45am with a quick potty break prior to me leaving at 6:30am. Furry friends can run free at home and outside , i like taking them on walks and playing with them where with my CoCo i give her treats as she does the things I ask of her like Sit , Stay Still , my dog loves these games. This is a safe space we also have a camera outside monitoring everything. At a clients home I always follow their instructions, usually most clients would leave a small instruction pamphlet for me which I always follow.
About: I’ve had pets in the home my entire life. From dogs,cats,reptiles,chickens,birds,fish,etc I care for pets as though they were my own. I’ve done in home and clients home pet care. I love sending Moms & Dads pictures of their fur baby having fun in my care. It's important your baby is happy & comfortable. While giving great care, it gives you peace of mind your baby is in the best care until you return. I work part time(2 days a week)and have a flexible schedule. Love being with furry friends. They give life so much joy. Love taking pictures to send to Mom and Dad on my visits. Our fur babies are our family & having someone who really cares about your pet makes a huge difference. I love to take walks & Hike on local trails & if your baby is up for it, I'm happy to take them along. Follow exactly what owner does for their pet. Be patient with furry friends. Always keep a close eye on pets. Make sure their schedule and routines are as close to Mom and Dads as possible to help keep pet comfortable and less stressed
“Jessenia did a great job and was great about updating us when she was checking in our dog. It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience. Thank you Jessenia for making us feel so comfortable!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for most of life. Whether it was family dogs or friends dogs I have been trusted to walk, feed, and entertain many dogs. I am currently a full time student and will be continuing classes this fall. I am available during the week and the weekends to walk and watch dogs. I care for pets with love and respect. I can crate if that is an option or entertain and hang out with if needed or wanted.
About: Through pet and house sitting, I’ve discovered how much I love caring for animals in their own homes—learning their personalities, keeping their familiar routines, and helping them feel comfortable while their people are away. I have 10 reviews on TrustedHousesitters and have been welcomed back by several families for multiple stays, with more repeat sits already booked for next year. My stays have ranged from short visits to several months. Owners consistently mention my attentive care, regular updates and photos, and the peace of mind they feel knowing their pets and home are in good hands. I’ve cared for puppies, energetic dogs, senior dogs, cats, and households with multiple pets. I follow feeding and medication instructions closely and adapt to each animal’s needs, whether that means walks and playtime or a gentler pace and quiet companionship. I’m also a proud dog grandma to my daughter’s French bulldog, Capri! I work remotely as a parent coach, which gives me flexibility to plan around your pet’s routine. Whether I’m stopping in or staying overnight, I bring patience, affection, and attention to the little things that matter to your pet—and to you. I work remotely as a parent coach, so I have flexibility to fit pet care into my day. I plan around the routines we agree on, including meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and company. During overnight sits, I enjoy settling in with your pets and keeping their days familiar. Quiet time with a cat nearby or a dog curled up beside me is one of my favorite parts of working from home! For drop-in visits, we’ll arrange times that fit your pet’s needs. I do have scheduled client sessions and occasional commitments, so we’ll talk through how long your pets are comfortable being alone and make sure my availability is a good fit before booking. I care for pets in your home, where they have their familiar surroundings, favorite spots, and everyday routines. Before a booking, I like to learn about their personalities, feeding schedules, medication needs, and any habits or concerns—especially things like door-dashing, hiding places, or worries around other animals. I follow your care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and use a leash on walks unless we’re in your securely enclosed yard. We’ll go over your vet’s information and emergency contacts so I know who to reach if something comes up. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and I’ll let you know if I notice a change in your pet’s behavior, appetite, or comfort. I respect your home and privacy, keep pet areas and litter boxes clean, and tidy up after myself. Several families have welcomed me back for repeat stays. I take that trust seriously and want you to feel comfortable asking questions or sharing the little details that help me care for your pets the way you would.
About: Need a summer or holiday break? Don't worry, I've got you covered. I love dogs, and dogs love me. I have been a proud pet owner for nearly 20 years, and have had the pleasure of caring for several dogs on this site - each with its own personality. I have a Westie, who loves playing with other dogs - big or small. I will be gentle but firm with your pet. Your dog will get a daily walk on the Delaware Canal, a nearby quiet country road, or for a treat, the dog park. I also have a fenced-in outdoor area where he or she can wander. I can play ball with your dog or tug-o-war. Your dog can wander freely in my house and can sleep where he or she feels comfortable. I do work 8 to 4 weekdays but have all federal and state holidays off. My uncle is here to supervise when I am at work. I have a fenced-in side yard for dogs to exercise and get fresh air. Pets will be monitored at all times to ensure their safety

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Milford is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 4,329 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Milford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Milford. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
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.
