About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for an Akita dog and cats since they were just seven weeks old, and I currently look after a one-year-old corn snake and two four-year-old river turtles. I understand that every pet has its own routine, preferences, and comfort zone, and I’m patient and attentive to those individual needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I communicate clearly with pet parents, provide regular photo updates, and make sure you always feel at ease while you’re away. Your pets’ happiness and safety always come first — and I’ll do everything I can to make sure they feel loved and well cared for. I can provide pet care on weekdays, both early mornings and late nights, with flexibility on weekends to fit your schedule and your pets routine! At your home, I make sure your pet’s space stays familiar and comforting. I follow their usual schedule for feeding, play, and rest, keep litter boxes and living areas clean, and provide companionship and reassurance while you’re away. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

Yiwei and Yue were wonderful! They were very responsive and easy to work with. Yue took the time to meet Nimbo before our vacation. She took notice of Nimbo's mannerisms and was familiar with the types of litter and food that we had in the house. While Yue was visiting, she noticed that the automatic pet feeder was out of dry food so she took the time to make sure that it was refilled. Thank you again for watching over Nimbo!

Erjin arrived on time every day, and he was patient enough to try and play with my cat — who is very very shy. Purla doesn’t open up easily, but by the last day Erjin was able to play with her! I highly recommend Erjin :).

Stephen was absolutely amazing with my cat ! I booked Stephen last minute for 6 days . I am glad he was available. I could not have found a better sitter for my cat. He made sure to feed and refill my cat’s food and water while I was gone. He sent tons of pictures and very responsible in communicating with me over the Rover app! He checked in timely and was extremely professional, he spent a lot of time playing with my cat! I will definitely book him again

Christina is amazing. She goes above and beyond to make sure your fur babies are taken care of and to help out with anything else during your absence. I had an important package that came and she drove back to my house just to bring it indoors for me! She is so sweet and also very professional. I will definitely be rebooking her again for future trips! Thank you Christina!!!

About: I’ve cared for my 2 big babies for about 8 years now. At first I had only one dog, then she got pregnant and I helped deliver all her babies at home. We found homes for all of them, but we kept one. So now they are mother and daughter duo. I’m currently open to work from 10 am to 5 pm from Monday through Friday. Please consider me to take care of your fur baby when you’re away from home. At home I have two loving dogs that are freed to roam everywhere. They are friendly with people just not so much other fur babies.

About: I’ve had dogs for the past 10 years. I’ve fostered & trained 17 total dogs and puppies from the Humane Society over the past 2 years. I have experience caring for young, adolescent, senior, & special needs dogs. I have also taken care of cats, guinea pigs, and birds. I have 2 rescue dogs/foster fails of my own. I walk my 2 dogs 3-4 times daily at my local park. Both are fed twice a day with a mix of kibble and homemade food. I’ve trained a list of basic commands (sit, wait, down, touch, paw, center, heel). Working from home right now so I have time to care for your pets! I have a fenced yard and am an experienced dog walker with experience walking/controlling larger dogs as well. Currently cannot board dogs because one of mine is reactive.

I would highly recommend Zhengjun when considering someone to take care of your pet. Zhengjun stepped up and took over for my original sitter when that arrangement didn’t work out properly. Without Zhengjun’s assistance we would have been in a real predicament. So thank you Zhengjun for stepping up and saving the day!!

About: I’ve owned and cared for pets throughout my whole life, including dogs, cats, freshwater fish, birds, rabbits, reptiles, and aquariums. I’m currently the proud owner of two cats, several fish, and a snake, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I grew up around Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Poodles, Corgis, and many different cats. I have experience with small dogs, large dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable adjusting care based on each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine. I’d love to watch your fur baby while you’re busy! Depending on your pet’s needs, we can go for walks, runs, hikes, playtime, or even visit a local dog park if that’s something they enjoy. I’m also comfortable helping with cats, fish, and reptiles, including snakes. I can follow care instructions for feeding, litter boxes, tank checks, lights, temperatures, humidity, water quality, and basic enclosure needs. I’m currently available after 9 AM and will respond as quickly as I can. I’m happy to travel within the South Bay, Milpitas, and Fremont areas. I look forward to meeting you and your fabulous pet family! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is already a big part of my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, aquariums, and reptiles, so I’m comfortable with a variety of care routines. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, basic habitat checks, and weekend care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always follow care instructions carefully. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles, including pets that need patience, a calm approach, or specific routines. I pay close attention to food, water, leashes, doors, gates, tank conditions, temperatures, humidity, enclosure security, and each pet’s comfort level.

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong pet lover and proud dog parent to an amazing mixed-breed pup! Most recently, I have been fostering pups of all sizes and ages with the Humane Society in my area. I’ve been around animals my whole life and know just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. When your dog stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. I offer a safe, calm, and pet-friendly home with people (and a pup!) who truly enjoy the company of animals. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, some playtime, or a cozy overnight stay, I aim to make your pet feel at ease and cared for. I am available full time to work with your schedule. My commitments are brief and I can flex around the needs of the pets in my care. I have a multi story home with lvp flooring that is very pet friendly. Your fur baby will have to climb 8 stairs (or I can assist them) to get to the main floor which is where we will hang out. I also have an enclosed patio, but most of our outdoor time will be outside at the park right next to my home.

Laurelle was a fantastic catsitter! She's friendly, kind, and warm. We were super nervous leaving our cats, but Laurelle was communicative from the very start, making it so much easier. She sent pictures and updates every day, and even a little surprise video on Christmas! She took great care of them while we were gone-- I think Tetris misses playing with her. :) She was very respectful of our home, and was even kind enough to switch some of the lights on and off for us. It felt so reassuring to have Laurelle watch our kitties and check on our home while we were on vacation, and we will absolutely book with her again in the future!

About: Animal lover here! I am loving and attentive and can read animal body language very well. I will never push an animals boundaries and make sure they are loved and respected appropriately. Fun fact! I always wanted to be a vet since I was a little kid so I naturally have a huge passion for taking care and rescuing animals. I definitely have more cat experience than dog but I have worked with dogs before and grew up with 4 different dogs in my household. My mom has a dog with behavioral issues that I have taken care of multiple times so naturally I know how to read dog body language pretty well. I have rescued a one dog stray and about 8 cat/kitten strays. So on that, Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter and I will take care of your animal as if it were my own 🖤 I am currently full time working Tuesday-Saturday 9:30 am - 6:00 pm. I can absolutely do mornings and evenings before and after my shifts and I usually have full availability all Sunday Monday if get plenty notice ahead of time. I can do over nights for Saturdays and Sundays as well. I will make sure your animals are safe and loved and cared for appropriately. I am a very accommodating care giver so whatever special needs your animal has I have no issue with. I have been a cat owner for ten years now as well as I have also taken care of dogs for family. Safety is the number one priority for your animals and I promise I will treat as my own.

About: I’ve had the joy of seeing my own dogs and cats grow from tiny puppies and kittens into beloved seniors (16+ years old), caring for them through every stage of their lives. I understand how much love and importance they hold in our families, and how deeply we cherish their companionship. What sets me apart is the heartfelt care and experience I bring. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with everything from energetic walks to gentle senior care. Whether it’s giving medications, providing extra patience with older pets, or simply showering them with love and attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. It’s a true joy and privilege for me to look after these little four-legged angels while giving peace of mind to their families. Pet care is naturally part of my daily life. I make sure pets in my care get plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m very mindful of their routines, and I always prioritize their needs — from morning walks to afternoon playtime and everything in between.So they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Providing a calm and attentive environment is very important to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. When pets stay in my home, they are treated like family. I let them explore the space freely, relax on the couch, and even sleep with me if that’s what they’re used to, but I always make sure to follow the owner’s rules and preferences, whether the pet is staying at my home or I’m caring for them in their home. I want them to feel as comfortable and loved as they do at home. I live very close to a beautiful park with a dog park and walking trail, which is perfect for daily walks, playtime, and giving them a fun outdoor adventure.

Katy was absolutely wonderful taking care of our Ragdoll cat, Dora, over the Independence Day holiday. She visited every day, brushed Dora to keep her coat clean and tangle-free, spent quality time playing with her, and sent us lots of photos and updates after each visit. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Dora was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention while we were away. Katy is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. We really appreciated the care she put into every visit, and we would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!

We've been booking Laurel as our cat sitter since last November, and she's been fantastic every single time. Our cats are genuinely comfortable with her, which means a lot to us since they can be picky about who they warm up to. She sends regular updates with photos during every visit, which keeps our minds at ease while we're away. She's also incredibly reliable - this time we booked with only about 5 days' notice and she made it work without any issues. You can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with the cats and never seems to rush through a visit. As a thoughtful touch, she'll sometimes bring them new treats or toys since ours can get bored with the same old things. We keep coming back to Laurel because we trust her completely with our cats, and we can't recommend her highly enough!

Katherine did an amazing job! I contacted her on very short notice because my sitter canceled. She was very accommodating I accidentally had the wrong address on my profile and I’m out of town with no service so the messaging process was hard. She contacted me asking how to get in since it was the wrong place the code wasn’t working. Eventually I got her messages and she was willing to go back to my new address. She did an amazing job taking care of my kitties and making sure everything was clean and they were fed. She went above and beyond and I will definitely book with her again and recommend her to others! Thank you Katherine!❤️🐱

Emily takes exceptional care of our cat and consistently goes above and beyond. She makes sure our cat has fresh food and water, keeps the litter box clean, and spends quality time playing and interacting with her. Emily also provides plenty of photos during each visit, which gives us great peace of mind while we’re away. What truly stands out is her attentiveness she notices when something seems different or out of the ordinary with our cat and keeps us informed. We highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful pet sitter.

Sukky (Siqi) is an amazing Rover cat sitter — incredibly attentive and truly knows how to interact with cats. Hoohoo was so well cared for, and reading her daily update notes genuinely made my day every time. She’s thoughtful, observant, and clearly experienced with cats. She also went above and beyond what I expected: she helped brush Hoohoo’s fur, tidied up the living room, and took absolutely fantastic photos (I’m literally using them as my phone wallpaper!). On top of that, she even drew an adorable little sketch of Hoohoo — such a sweet and personal touch. I’m so grateful for everything she did, and I will definitely book Siqi again next time. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Milpitas on Rover is $32.19 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,467 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Milpitas. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Milpitas. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
