“Lyle did an awesome job with watching our two furbabies in our home for two weeks! He kept them on their routine and most importantly gave their meds on time. The latter is extremely important since one of our babies has seizures. We were so worried to leave since the last Rover experience didn't go so well and so we came home early. Thankfully all went great with Lyle. He gave daily updates and was very transparent. Will definitely use him again!!!”
“Amy was absolutely lovely. She took such great care of our pups and our house. The dogs loved her. She also brought in our packages that were delivered! She sent pics throughout her stay which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Amy and will be using her services again!”
“Diandra was incredible! She was so communicative and so kind! She left our house in SPARKLING shape- I think it was cleaner when we got home than when we left! She swung with some annoyances too- our house lost power in 95 degree weather and I messed up our days off and asked literally the day before she was going to leave if she could spend an extra night. She was super easy going about both. I feel so lucky we found her and I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Judy provided great communication the entire trip and ensured my dog got the correct medications. She left the house clean and it gave me peace of mind knowing Judy was at home with my dog.”
“When I hired Katie it was to watch my two cats, Ying and Yang. Katie met with me twice then my Yang passed away. Katie understood how significant this was to me and my other fur baby. She came over again to see Ying before I left. Katie got my anxiety about now leaving Ying without his brother for the first time. She went above and beyond to comfort both of us. I definitely recommend her.”
“Grace is awesome! Took great care of Daisy on very short notice. Was professional and kept a good eye on Daisy and kept her active with lots of photos. Can’t recommend Grace highly enough!!”
“Christoper was great with house sitting our anxious pittie Layla! He was communicative, on time and sent lots of photos. We hope to have him stay again! Thanks Christopher!”
“Lisa went above and beyond. Gained the trust of our one skittish dog quickly and also took care of the rest of the gang. They were all happy when we got back.which means everything. She took care of my very sad flowers outside and even added water to our fountain because it was making noise! We highly recommend her.”

I have a flexible schedule which gives me plenty of time to make pet care part of my daily routine I'm available throughout the week for walks drop-ins play time and lots of one-on-one attention I enjoy being active and love having a furry companion to play time with. I take the time to learn each Pet's routine personality boundaries and comfort level so they can feel secure while you're away in a client's home I follow their instructions closely respect their space keep doors and Gates secure and make sure pets get the attention exercise and companionship there used to I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages
“Milo is great—highest recommendation to care for pets and house sit. Photos and updates through the weekend reassured us that the pets were soaking up the attention and love. Our Labrador is easy, but the cat is very picky and stand-offish with most people. Milo and she were great friends almost immediately. House was in fine shape also. Well done!”
“Corrine was great! Incredibly kind, prompt, and responsive to a very last minute request. I could not have asked for a better sitter. She communicated and sent pics which really set my mind at ease. Thank you thank you thank you!”
About: I have always had a dog or cat in my life. Growing up and now I have two dogs of my own who I adore and love! I also have been a dog walker/nanny for two dogs for the past 4 years. One of these dogs was a puppy too. I have a pretty open schedule. I have a few open days a week and don’t mind driving to take care of pets. I am also open to stopping by before and/or after I get off at my other job! I have two dogs and take care of them like they are my kids! They follow me around the house and need constant attention that i love to give them. I will take care of my clients pet however they normally take care of them and follow their routine!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love playing with them and walking them. I always make sure they have enough food, water, and are let outside enough. I also make sure that they are behaving well and praise them when they are being good. I am looking to either help by walking your dog or by sitting, whatever service is needed. I have a Golden Retriever but I won’t have him around your dog unless you are comfortable with that. I am a full time software developer, so this will be just a side gig but I will put full effort into make sure your dog receives the best attention and care. If you need to receive updates about dog, I will make sure to keep you updated as well.
About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family for years. I fostered dogs and kittens through a shelter for 2 years. I have had cats for most of my life and I had a pitbull for 5 years. I work second shift from 3pm-2am in Novi. I have an hour lunch so I can easily visit your pets on my lunch break to give them dinner or go for a walk. I will be caring for your animals in your home so we will follow your house rules. I will meet with you before you leave so we can go over everything together.
“This was my first time using Rover, and my expectations were beyond succeeded with Nick! After meeting Nick I was quickly at ease of trusting him with our fur family and our home while we went away on a family vacation. He is super organized, professional, and communication with him leading up to and while we were gone was great, not to mention I'm pretty sure our pups genuinely missed Nick after we came home! I could not ask for anything more, thank you Nick!!!”
“Melanie is exactly who you want to watch your baby when you’re away! She goes above and beyond!! She is so sweet, punctual and keeps you updated throughout the day. We will definitely be using her again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Milford Township
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Milford Township on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,415 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Milford Township. 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 Township 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 Township 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 Township 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Milford Township. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
