“Drew sat for us for nearly 2 weeks. He took excellent care of the pets and he spent so much time with them that they are behaving better than ever before. He also cleaned up the house which was really nice to come home to!”
“Kylie did an awesome job staying with our pups while we were out of town for the weekend. Quick to respond and thorough communication, provided lots of photos and updates. She was fantastic with our almost 16 year old senior dog who wears a diaper and requires more care, and also played fetch in the backyard with our younger dog. She was tidy and left the house spotless. Would book again!”
“Erica was great with our pets! We have a lot and they’re easily overwhelming, but she handled them with such care and professionalism that I wasn’t worried for a moment. Great response time, good communication, and easy to get along with. 10/10 recommend!”
“Olivia was awesome with our pups! We just relocated and needed to find a new dog sitter quickly for a business trip and we’re glad we found her. She took great care of our boys, took them for walks and gave them all the attention they needed. Will definitely be booking with her again! :)”
“Rebecca was fantastic! She communicated proactively about how our pup was doing and sent great pics and videos! She tidied up around our place before leaving, which was SO nice to come home to after traveling. I highly recommend her services and plan on being a repeat customer. Thanks Rebecca!”

My 3 big babies are always happy and in great spirits when we come which tells me she loves them as much as we do while she is there. We will definitely call upon Jenna anytime we go out of town. Thank you Jenna for being so awesome!!!”

“Mark did such a great job with our dogs while we were on vacation! My husband and I appreciated the regular updates and pictures of our pups while we were gone. He was a great communicator, especially if anything out of the norm happened. When we returned home, Maple and Moose were as content and relaxed as they could be. We would absolutely book Mark again!”

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.
“Karley took such great care of our poodle mix! She communicated well and often. I wasn’t worried for one moment about Kiki while we were on a family vacation. Glad we found her and will use again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs on and off all my life different sizes, ages, and personalities. I provide walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and lots of attention to help pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine and keeping owners updated. My goal is to give every pet the same care, patience, and affection that I would give my own. I work part time as well as side jobs as I am home from college for the summer. Lots of free time during the day. In clients’ homes, I respect their space while ensuring pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are 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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Milford
We were super lucky and blessed to have found Jenna for our very first cat and kitten sitting in-home adventure. She is truly one of a kind and has an animal spirit. She kept us up to date daily, sent us pictures, and I could tell she went above and beyond to make sure that our kitties were happy and did not miss us. We could relax knowing that she was taking care of everything and knows what she's doing. She's also educated and highly experienced. Love love love her.
Gabrielle did an amazing job house sitting/caring for our animals. She was communicative throughout and was at ease with our dog, cat and chickens. It was clear from the start that she is responsible and detail oriented. She kept the house clean and even washed the bedding before we returned. Our pets seemed happy and relaxed when we returned! We will definitely use Gabrielle again for any pet sitting needs!
Drew watched my 2 German shepherds and 3 cats for 5 days (longest time I've been gone with a sitter) and all animals were comfortable and relaxed being in his care, and even my rescue dog was snuggling with him on the couch (they're allowed on the couch). Would love to have him back.
We are so grateful to have had Jaqueline stay with our dogs. She was comfortable with two big dogs and handled them confidently. And the dogs were comfortable with her. We especially appreciated the update photos. I would recommend Jaqueline and like forward to the next time she can sit with our pups.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Milford on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,473 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Milford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Milford walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Milford maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
