“Christine was super helpful and lovely to work with. Biscuit really loved her and sent lots of pictures while i was away making my first time away with her as pleasant as it could be. thank you!!”

“Nina did an outstanding job taking care of our bunny. She was very attentive and prompt with messages/updates. She made our first experience with Rover an excellent one, and we will definitely seek her help again in the future.”

About: I’m a big animal lover and have had pets in my life for as long as I can remember. My first job in high school was working at Best Friends Pet Care, where I cared for both dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments throughout my entire high school career. That experience taught me how to safely handle, feed, exercise, and care for many different types of pets. While I was in college, I continued gaining experience by working at Red Dog Pet Resort during school breaks when I came home. In addition to that, I now do pet sitting on the side and have cared for up to nine animals at once (five dogs and four cats), all with unique personalities and needs. I also grew up with two dogs and two cats of my own, who have since passed away. Having pets my whole life has made my love for animals even stronger, and I understand how important they are as members of the family. I always strive to provide safe, attentive, and loving care for every pet I look after. I work full time Monday through Thursday and am usually off around 4:30 PM on those days. I also have a hybrid schedule, so I work from home a lot of the time, which gives me additional flexibility for pet care visits during the day when my schedule allows. During the week, I’m typically available for evening visits and walks, and from Friday through Sunday I’m off, which allows me to be much more flexible and available for daytime visits, walks, and check-ins. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my main goal is to keep them relaxed, safe, and content in the place they know best. I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—whether that includes meals at certain times, walks, playtime, or simply quiet companionship. I also ensure water bowls are kept fresh, litter boxes or potty areas stay clean, and your pet receives plenty of care and attention while you’re away.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’ve had both some combinations of dogs and cats my whole adults life and I can’t imagine my life with them in it. I will love your pets like they are my own. I have two cats at home that require some of my attention but I do have flexibility. Looking to expand my business to allow more weekly routine but as of right now I am available nights and weekends I will give your pets all the love and attention they need. I will pay special attention to any special care or needs that you might have.
“Jeff was awesome! I have a 5 mo puppy learning to be an adult dog and Jeff was needed to let the pup out at lunch for potty & lunch for a week. Jeff was so helpful and made my dog's schedule his priority. Not only did be let Finn out to do his business but he also took Finn for a short walk! There were resident cats looking for an escape route but Jeff was on top of the escape plan & thwarted their every attempt to break free; even bringing treats for the cats! I can't thank Jeff enough to making that week disaster-free and worry-free!”

“Thanks to Julie for taking such good care of our cats! She was able to get our shy cat to come out and play and cuddle. Consistent and above and beyond care for our kitties. Thanks!”


About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for the past five years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. I’ve worked with countless dogs, including seniors, puppies, and dogs with physical and cognitive disabilities, so I’m comfortable adapting my care to each dog’s unique routine. I also have a senior dog of my own, which has given me firsthand experience with administering extra care, being patient, and recognizing when a dog needs additional attention or support. Whether your pup needs an in-home sitter, a reliable walking buddy, or someone to stop by for drop-in visits, I’m committed to making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand that every dog is different, and I pride myself on providing dependable, personalized care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide quality care for your pets. Whether it’s dog walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays in your home, I’m able to give your dog the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I’ll make sure they stick to their normal routine and receive lots of love while you’re away! When caring for your dog in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as normal as possible. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions, give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles, and make sure they get the exercise they need. I’m also a bit of a clean freak, so you can count on me to treat your home with the utmost respect. I’ll clean up after myself (and your pup!), keep everything tidy, and you’ll likely come home to a house that’s just as clean—or even cleaner—than when you left. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely at ease while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and others dog's for over 10 years now. My family and I have 3 dogs currently and have owned 6 dogs throughout my life of varying sizes. I have dog sat and walked dogs for many of my friends and family over the years with the dogs being in size ranges as big as Great Danes down to little Griffons. In addition I have bathed and brushed dogs for years as well. I of course am also very affectionate towards any dogs, making sure to give them lots of pets and scratches. I will be available between 10 AM-6 PM every weekday unless specified otherwise, though days and hours are mutable and can be subject to change in the future. If I decide to change my hours/days all clients will be notified of the change with ample time to figure something out between us if need be. I will show your dog affection and make sure they have enough food and water as needed. I can also differ my services based off what my client needs. For example during a drop in I can wear out your overly excited puppy, I can clean your litterbox, or I can just lay down and chill with your older dog who just needs some pets and attention. I am easygoing and can work with any client.
“Absolutely wonderful sitter! Very thorough and even took the time to bond and play with our timid cat! Sent tons of photos and videos letting us know when/if our cat was eating/drinking/playing.”

“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.”

“Riley was great to work with and took excellent care of Sadie. She was prompt, communicated often, sent photos, and was very flexible in my last minute booking request. I would highly recommend Riley!”

About: I grew up on a dairy farm and have always had cats and dogs around. My kids are excited to learn some responsibility through animal care along with my supervision and spend time with dogs. Recently retired from corporate world and children expressed interest in dog walking/boarding. Good opportunity to walk and teach children lessons in pet care while spending time bonding with dogs. We have a fully fenced backyard in addition to a bonus room that the animal would stay in while boarded. My children and I would show a lot of care and attention to your pet.
“Madeline has been great. She’s very reliable, responsive, and easy to communicate with. My dog Ruth took to her right away and clearly enjoys spending time with her, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciate how dependable she’s been and would definitely recommend her to others!!”

“Tori is wonderful with my girls. One of the girls had an accident and she cleaned it up and made sure everything was clean for me to arrive home. So thankful for her attention to detail.”


About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and have grown up with them. Neighbors and friends tend to rely on me if they need a sitter for a weekend or even a week long vacation. I am available to be working on weekends all day. Mondays and fridays after 3 pm. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after 5 pm. I am a full time college student but live at home. I have a fenced in backyard for them to run around in. They’re is a boarding place a few minutes from my house if that is ever needed

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!

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.
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.
To find sitters in Milford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
