“I booked with Zhengjun while on a flight due to panicked circumstances. She came in clutch and delivered wonderfully! From my family's responses, she helped take care of my baby girl Nala and was very punctual with photos for every interaction. I cannot sing her praises enough! You need a rover, Zhengjun is the one!”

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: I absolutely love animals and have been caring for, and looking after dogs, cats, (and any animals in-between) since i was very young!! I’m super comfortable handling & caring for dogs and have cared for dogs as small as 10 pounds and dogs as big as 130!! I had childhood pup who was a pitbull and we raised him from a puppy so i have lots of experience with high-energy dogs and larger and stronger breeds. I also understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. My experience with him taught me how to build trust, maintain consistency, and support a dog’s needs at every stage! I have experience with senior dogs, reactive dogs, needy dogs, shy dogs, puppies, ect. so there is a large spectrum of animals i’m able to care for :) I’d love to provide the attention & care your fur babies need!! Pet care fits into my routine while i am in between jobs & going to school so it is my full-time job as of right now. I’m usually free to book any days during the week which gives me plenty of time for longer visits and dedicated care. On busier personal days, I’m still willing to schedule drop-ins, walks, and check-ins around my daily routine, and make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m organized, reliable, and always plan my schedule to prioritize the pets I’m responsible for!! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, & any special instructions or preferences. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. My priority is to make pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable while their owners are away!

About: What sets me apart is that I’m a dog trainer, not just a sitter. I use calm, reward-based positive reinforcement methods, so I’m great with energetic puppies, dogs who pull on the leash or get excited around other dogs, and pups who need extra patience. I can keep up your dog’s training while you’re away too, practicing things like loose-leash walking, recall and settling. I’ve grown up with cats and dogs, and as a kid I’d bring home injured strays and nurse them back to health. I also live with two cats, including a senior, so I’m used to gentle care and to homes where dogs and cats live together. Dogs of every size are welcome, and I’ll send photos and updates every visit. My schedule is flexible, so I can fit pet care around your plans. I’m available weekdays and weekends, with time for morning, midday and evening walks or drop-ins, and I’m happy to stay overnight for house sitting. I keep my bookings small so every pet gets my full attention, and I’ll always confirm times with you ahead of each visit. I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel safest, so I offer house sitting, drop-in visits and walks rather than boarding. Before your first booking, I’ll do a meet and greet to learn your pet’s routine, feeding, medicines, habits and vet details. When cats and dogs share a home, I keep introductions calm and give each pet its own space. I keep your home tidy, follow your house rules, and send photos and updates every visit so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Hi! My name is Angelina, and I've been around dogs my entire life. Growing up with dogs has taught me how important they are as members of the family, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I currently have two dogs of my own. My first dog is 7 years old and truly means the world to me. My second dog is a Shih Tzu (3years old) who originally belonged to my grandma, and he's become a very loved part of our family. Caring for both of them has given me experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. In addition to my personal experience, I attended grooming school and became a certified dog groomer. My training has taught me how to safely handle dogs, recognize their individual needs, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive, and l understand that every dog is unique. Whether your pup enjoys a brisk walk, a leisurely stroll, or extra love and attention, I'I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I'll treat your dog like one of my own and provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while they're with me. I would love the opportunity to meet your furry family member and provide them with the same love, care, and attention I give my own Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work part-time, which allows me to dedicate more of my time and attention to caring for pets. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending my free time with dogs, taking them on walks, giving them plenty of exercise and attention, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. Although I live in an apartment, I have a private patio area and plenty of nearby outdoor spaces where I can take dogs out frequently for fresh air, potty breaks, and enjoyable walks. I make sure pets are supervised, kept secure, and given plenty of attention throughout their stay. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, so I do my best to follow their normal schedule, including feeding, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they are in my care. 🐾❤️

About: I’m not just a sitter. I’m a dog lover who treats every pup like family. I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life. From puppyhood to senior pups, I have a lot of experience tailoring my care according to each dog’s personality, needs, and comfort zone.Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or couch snuggles, I focus on creating routines that keep dogs engaged, healthy, and stress free. Over the years, I’ve gained experience helping dogs with separation anxiety, minor reactivity, and special medical needs (limited to administering oral and injectable medications). Open communication with pet parents is a priority for me. I provide frequent updates, including photos and videos, so you can see how your dog is doing. In order to dedicate myself completely to your pet’s care, play, and comfort, I only accept one dog at a time. However, for everyone’s comfort, I request that visiting pups get along with other dogs since my own dog, Bentley, will be part of their visit. As a full-time homemaker and dog mom, I am home all day and able to provide consistent, attentive care. Your dog will have my full attention for walks, playtime, rest, and anything else they need throughout the day. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I love taking dogs to trails and parks nearby for exercise, fun, and potty breaks. They can relax in a crate or snuggle with me on the couch/bed. Fresh filtered water is always available and treats are given as allowed.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Milpitas

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Milpitas is $27 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $43 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 7,087 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Milpitas. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Milpitas. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Milpitas after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

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

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
