“Maureen is a fantastic sitter! She has been coming weekly for more than two months to check on our now 6 month old puppy during the day. He absolutely loves when she visits! She responds quickly, and is great about accommodating any schedule changes. I highly recommend Maureen for any of your pet sitting needs!”
About: I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, and small animals for 20 years. I am also a reptile owner and comfortable caring for some reptiles and amphibians. I am currently available full time for pet care, regarding pet sitting or daily walks. I am also able to care for and feed some reptiles and most amphibians. I much prefer to care for animals in their own home. I feel it is less stress on the animal and more comfortable for them.
“Jeff really took his time getting to know Bella and did a wonderful job taking care of her. I would HIGHLY recommend Jeff to anyone looking for someone to look after their pets while they are away.”
“Margo and her husband were great. She followed all the instructions and took very good care of our babies. She played with them made sure to give them attention. Both cats liked her so she’s definitely the kind of person pets gravitate to. I would absolutely recommend.”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have been caring for dogs since I was a pre-teen. Growing up with dogs of all shapes and sizes helped me learn how to care for different personalities and needs. I currently have a senior dog of my own, so I understand the patience and attention pets deserve. I enjoy walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, and I would love the chance to care for your pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work a full-time hybrid job and typically work from home Fridays. During the work week, I’m available after 5pm, and I’m free anytime on Saturdays and Sundays. If a pet needs to be let out during the day, I also have the flexibility to stop home during lunch when needed. I’m happy to make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need throughout the day. I live in a clean, well-maintained home with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and relaxed. With a turfed patio have where dogs can safely run and play. I have an 11-year-old Goldendoodle who is very mild-tempered and does well with other dogs, which helps create a calm and friendly environment for visiting pets. I grew up with animals and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s playing outside, going for walks, or giving them plenty of attention and snuggles.
About: I’ve had a dog in the family since I was 11. Grew up with a lab/Great Dane. Adopted a bearded dragon at 19 and have had him since. Live with a 3 year old cat. Weekly Cincinnati animal shelter volunteer, letting your dogs walk me I have more time in the weekends and evenings due to work. On call 24/7 so availabilities may shuffle around. I usually care for my pets in the evening and very early morning consisting of feedings, bathings, and cleaning. I’m easily accessible and adaptable. My accessibility makes me easy to contact and my adaptability allows me to navigate many different situations. I have reliable transportation.
“Jenna was a wonderful cat sitter. She took great care of my kitties. She alerted me that there were ants near the cat food and followed my directions to remedy the situation. She used common sense and actually did more than I had asked her to do about the ants. By the time I got home Sunday they were gone.”
“Mark was outstanding with my dog. He was punctual, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I appreciated his clear communication, quick updates, and the thoughtful care he provided, from long walks to gentle playtime. My pup was happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Mark for reliable, compassionate pet care. And even turning off your oven for you when you forget to turn it off like me.”
“Kylie watched our two dogs for a long weekend and was great! She took them for walks, made sure they had fresh water and food at dinner time, sent us updates throughout the visits, and was so easy to work with! I would recommend Kylie to anyone looking for help with their animals. You can tell she really cares and is someone we will definitely book with again in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. I grew up believing dogs are as much of a family member as I am. They are the greatest gifts on earth and I am so passionate about the goodness dogs bring into our lives. I have recently resigned in my nanny career, I was with this family for almost six years and I am still very close with the family, including their dog, Bailey. I took care of her as much as I took care of the boys. I included her in play, prioritized her health and exercise and taught the boys the importance of loving her and how she shows the boys she loves them. Additionally, last summer, my husband and I chose to take in my family dog of 12 years as our own to help my mom while she frequently traveled. In January he was diagnosed with two terminal cancers and so I made him my highest priority. He was the happiest, most loving and brave dog through his entire battle. We lost him in April and it was one of the hardest experiences I’ve gone through. While I am not ready to adopt a dog of our own yet; that passion for dogs is still apart of me and I believe meeting and caring for other dogs will support my grieving journey. I promise to love and care for your dog(s) as my own. I promise to do what’s best for them and to let them know just how special and loved they are at each visit. I have a lot of flexibility throughout my days, I would love for this to be a part time opportunity for me to feel accomplished and share my time with wonderful dogs. My husband and I love to travel so our weekends can book quickly, but with enough advance notice I’m happy to schedule weekend visits/stays! I care for them as if they are my own. I will love on them and can train and set appropriate boundaries with the parent’s clearance. I am highly respectful - respecting my clients homes and their personal boundaries. I am a dependable communicator and a very understanding and compassionate person.
“Suzanne did a drop in visit with our two cats while we were away for the weekend. She was great to work with and I would absolutely rebook with her! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs :)”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds - I have experience in dog-walking, dog and cat sitting and basic care. I treat them as if they’re my own by giving them all the attention they need. They are my top priority when they’re in my care! I am available for dog-walking most late afternoons. I can do 30 or 60 minutes depending on your needs! I have experience with all kinds of leashes. I will create an environment for your pet that will make them feel safe! Whether it’s for a walk or for a visit, they will feel comfortable and at ease.
About: I’ve owned cats and dogs over the years. My family raised kittens for years when I was in high-school. I also had a dog of my own for 15 years. I’m always the first to volunteer to care for friends and family members pets when they are out of town or need extra help walking them during the work week. I am currently pet free and miss having furry friends around! I work evenings so I have plenty of time during the day to walk pets and take them on adventures! I’m happy to house sit or keep pets overnight as well, as long as they can be left for 4-6 hours in the evening! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I have a dog park at my apartment complex, and take lots of daily walks as well. In your home, I make every effort to keep your pet on their normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. My 14-year-old son is gentle, respectful of animals, and has grown up around both dogs and cats, but all pet care and responsibility is handled by me.
“Gabby did GREAT handling my two big babies! They loved her and I had no issues. I will for sure be rebooking Gabby when I need help in the future. Thanks again!”
“Brendan was great with our 2 dogs. The dogs seemed to like him and the pictures proved that. He took his time with each dog individually which was nice for the dogs to get their own attention. Thank you for respecting our home and taking care of our fur-babies! We are definitely keeping Brendan in our favorites.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Milford
Saige was incredible. She showed up right on time for each visit and took great care of our Mowgli (along with helping monitor a bird nest that landed in our garage right before our trip). Leaving our dog always stresses me out a bit, but Saige gave great peace of mind with each visit. We would love to work with her again!
Saige was absolutely wonderful! She is so kind, communicates exceptionally well, and took great care of Gunner. She sent photos every day, kept me updated throughout my trip, and reached out anytime there was anything I should know. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I would absolutely trust her with Gunner again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter!

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.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
