About: I am a huge animal lover! I have 10+ years of paid experience pet-sitting, house-sitting, and babysitting! I have been a regular sitter for all types of breeds, ages, and behaviors. I have regular experience with pit bulls, chihuahuas, Great Pyrenees, Great Danes, puppies & seniors! I have recently moved to Cincinnati and looking to build a new client base! I love walks, play time, & cuddles! I have experience in light training, medication, and socialization skills. During drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, I will gladly help with any additional training needed. I always provide updates and photos, and can ensure you will receive prompt and detailed responses. I am currently working part-time, and my schedule is very open and flexible. With being new to Cincinnati, my goal is to find regular clients in need of a dog-sitter & walker, as well as helping out those who are needing a one-time or occasional helper. I have lots of reliable & trusted references that show my level of honesty, respect of privacy, and cleanliness for client home sitting. I am punctual, detail-oriented, and ready to work with the routine you and your pet have.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have my own two cats currently. My childhood dog had epilepsy and was on medicine multiple times a day and I was his caretaker to help my family with their work schedules. I give my kitties love first try big in the morning but before I leave I feed them and scoop the box. I make sure to play with them before bed so they have activity and get their energy out. I let my cats free roam while I’m away for the day but I grew up with a crate trained dog. I’ve pet sat for friends before who have restrictions where their pet goes and I’ve been able to follow their directions.
“Leo had very unheard of off day and wasn’t feeling his injection, but Christina did not give up. I appreciated her willingness to make sure the job was done and was very communicative during the drop in.”
“Christiane did such an amazing job with my pups! They’re super high energy and I always worry they’ll be too much for sitters. She provided updates and sent plenty of pictures. My dogs clearly loved her! Will definitely be using in the future 😊”
“Paige was absolutely amazing with my two kittens while I was away on vacation. She kept me updated, made sure they were well cared for, and genuinely treated them like her own. What really stood out to me was how attentive she was she noticed right away that one of my kittens wasn’t feeling well and immediately let me know so I could get her to the vet. I’m so grateful for her care, communication, and attention to detail. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pets were in such good hands. I would highly recommend Paige to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“I needed a last-minute cat sitter for my wedding weekend, and Katie helped me out tremendously! Has a fellow cat mom herself, I completely trusted her with my two babies! She was excellent and sent very cute photos! 10/10 recommend.”
About: I have handled dogs for the entirety of my life, all sizes from small to large, and with a fenced yard, they will have space!! I will be at home all the time, and will be able to give 100% attention to your animal while they are in my care. I have a fenced yard and two fur babies to keep your dog company. I can crate your animal if needed, but have space for your animal to explore
“Alicia did an amazing job watching our 2 cats when we were gone 9 days for the holidays. She made sure our cats had everything they needed and went above and beyond what was required of her. She even showed up Christmas morning at 7am! We will definately be using her again for our next trip and highly reccomend her.”
About: My connection with animals involves compassion, patience and communication. I have experience taking dogs for walks and home sitting with pets for an extended period. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care part-time. I’m generally most available on weekends, with additional availability throughout the week. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions and respect the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks and any other needs they might have.
“Jillian does a great job of looking after my dog on a daily basis in the week. She communicates great and I can tell from the pictures takes great care in Bobbi. I highly recommend Jillian.”
“Cailie was wonderful with our cat. She came over for a meet-and-greet, heard my key requests, and was on time for visits and very responsive to texts. Great pictures too! Look forward to using her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I love animals and currently have an Anatolian Shepherd who is 4. I am good with big and small dogs. I also have a cat! I work part-time with great flexibility for mornings & afternoons even some evenings, allowing me to easily adapt to your pet's specific routine, potty breaks, and daily exercise needs anytime. Whether in my home or yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. I strictly follow your pet's exact feeding, potty, and medication routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and keep environments completely secure. In mine, I ensure a fully pet-proofed, supervised setting, keeping you updated with photos along the way.
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have even fostered a few pups/kittens. Growing up, my favorite place to visit was my family’s farm in Mississippi, where I’d spend hours watching the horses and bulls. Today, I have a fur baby of my own and understand how much they mean to you. When you trust me with your pets, I’ll treat them as if they were my own—with love, patience, and care. Pet sitting is my therapy, and it brings me so much joy to meet and care for animals of all kinds. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended care, I’m here to make sure your furry family members are safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. I balance a busy life studying as an undergraduate at UC, but pet sitting is my form of therapy. Taking care of animals brings me so much joy and helps me recharge. I love meeting different pets and building a connection with each one. No matter how full my schedule gets, I always make time to provide attentive and loving care to your furry family members. Let me know how I can make life easier for you and your pets. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on understanding and maintaining their normal routines to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I take the time to learn their feeding schedule, walking preferences, playtime habits, and any special care instructions you provide. Keeping your pets happy and stress-free in their own environment is my top priority.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, from kittens and puppies to senior pets. I currently have two cats and a Great Dane, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, needs, and large-breed dogs. I also have experience caring for cats with illnesses and diabetes, including administering oral medications, other medications, and injections. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and medication schedules and understand how important consistency can be for pets with special needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, medication, or just some extra love and attention, I’ll care for them like one of my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they need. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, medication needs, and other care. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule whenever possible. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and entering your home. I’ll always follow your instructions closely and respect your pet’s normal routine, personality, and boundaries. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs, administering medications and injections, and keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. I have a fenced in yard!
“Janet was amazing with my dog Lyla. She was extremely dependable and courteous, and did exactly what was asked and even went above and beyond. And the bonus was Lyla got to meet her dog who is also very sweet. I would highly recommend Janet for any Dog or Pet needs.”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Milford is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $47 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 November 2026, there are 2,381 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
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.
