“Maria’s love for dogs is undeniable! I am grateful for her dedication to my dog and overall professionalism - always punctual, communicative, and prioritising my dog’s wellbeing. My dog warmed up to her very quickly the first time they met and I am finally confident in leaving him alone with a walker. We look forward to having Maria as a regular walker for him.”

About: I always loved dogs since my childhood but couldn’t have one till 5 years ago. The pandemic time seemed the perfect time to get a puppy. I’ve a samoyed dog named Caesar whom we’ve had since he was 8 weeks old. Hence, I do have experience looking after puppies. I also have experience with house training and crate training, if necessary. Note: I won’t be accepting breeds like pitbull, huskies and german shepherds. I’m currently not working so I will be home all day to look after your fur baby. There might be occasional 1-2 hours that I might be out running errands but I will almost always be home. I’ve a fenced backyard and a very friendly 5-yr old dog. I also have a kid who is 3.5 years old, hence I would kindly request any potential client to make sure that your fur babies are friendly with other dogs and kids. If in doubt, please ping me before booking with me. I can give potty breaks as often as necessary and can also take them out on walks twice a day.

About: I am a lifelong lover and owner of pets with over 25 years of experience. Having had companions, including several dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and even a rabbit, I have a knack and love for caring for and playing with animals. I am a current fur dad as well to an Australian Shepherd and a rambunctious little Seal Point Bengal. By the way, if your dog isn’t prey driven, I don’t mind rollerblading them and helping them to get some exercise if that is an option! All of what I make here by the way is going towards my MBA degree at USC and continuous veterinary bills for my dog with prescriptions and dietary restrictions. Pet care occupies my time outside of my day job and it gives me an excuse to get outside, provides possibilities of having some company and socialization for my dog (she does especially well with puppies), and other opportunities to get out and be the excitement in or exercise opportunity for a fur baby or fur babies outside of my own. I usually give the animal space and time to feel me out, as well as the environment if they are in my home. I know that not all animals warm up right away and that it may take several visits for the animal to become comfortable with me - I am patient and perfectly fine with this.

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 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: Hi, my name is Sheela and I do Dog-sitting out of my own house. I have had a German Rottweiler and 2 bunnies myself in the past. I loved them dearly and always provided the absolute best care for them. I have done pet-sitting for my sister's German Shepherd and Terrier mix and my friend's Chihuahua mix. Just recently I boarded 2 wonderful Bulldogs at my house for 3 months while their Guardian was traveling for work and also had a lovely Old English Sheepdog stay with us as well as plenty others. At the moment, I have a 13 yr old female Bernese Mountain/Shepherd mix who we adopted and a 4 yr old male Chugle tripod rescue, so your pet will have nice playmates while they stay at our home. I also have a super cute rescue bunny! I have a 17 year old daughter who loves animals and is very respectful to them. I am very passionate about animals and I am an animal advocate, I do whatever I can to help and fight for animals. I sign petitions, write letters to decision makers, build awareness, etc. My future goal is to work in animal rescue or rehab one day, and to live on a small farm when I retire. We have a 1 story, 4 BD house w/a large fenced backyard and we are located a short walk away to a very nice neighborhood park. Feel free to contact me anytime to discuss your needs for your precious one :-) About this sitter: Born and raised in SJ Bay area. I graduated from CSUH in '95 and since then have worked in several different fields such as Dental, Travel, Biotech, & Education. Some of my hobbies include animal advocacy, spending time with my family and friends, movies, traveling, cooking, sewing, coffee, Yoga, history, gardening, and shopping. I currently work part-time as a Sub Teacher a couple days a week, however I'm home most full days of the week and in the early afternoons on the other work days to spend time with your furry ones :-) I have a fenced yard and I keep pets inside the home, unless they want to play in the yard :-) I do use crates for the pets if I go out for an errand or something for their own safety.

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: Saturday has been an avid cat-lover all their life. They currently live with mostly senior cats and have lots of experience with subcutaneous fluids, medication, and general senior cuddling. But fear not! Saturday has also fostered many kittens, including those abandoned by their mamas and in need of bottle feeding. Saturday is an all ages cat-carer. Saturday has recently discovered their love of dogs as well. They love providing care, short walks, and lots and lots of snuggles to their canine friends. Saturday does best with small and medium dogs. They only take large dogs if they don't need walks. When they are not entirely absorbed by pet-cuddles, Saturday can be found reading, writing, or attempting not to kill their garden. As a full-time pet sitter, your fur babies are the focus of my day. I'm available for drop-in visits either morning (6am-noon), afternoon (noon-5pm), or evening (5pm-10pm). If I'm house sitting for your pets, we'll come up with an agreed upon schedule for when they need me home. I appreciate being able to care for pets in their own environments where they feel safe. I will respect your home just as if it were my own. At our meet and greet will discuss any house care (ie: mail or plant watering) as well as any house rules (ie: Miffie isn't allowed in the office). We will also discuss sleeping arrangements, if that applies.

About: I’ve taken care of my own cats since they were kittens and they are about 8 years old now. I’ve also dog sit for friends and family while they’re were out on vacation. Love of fur babies! Wish I had a bigger place to own a dog. For now, I’m okay with getting all my dog love from dog sitting! I work remote and have a very flexible schedule so I don’t have a problem with scheduling. As long as it’s communicated to me a day prior so I can prep for the visit :) I can try to fulfill any specific care requests if needed as long as the client provides full care details. I want to make sure your fur baby is taken care of the way they like it!

About: I’ve always had a natural passion to care for animals, especially dogs. Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a kid, I spent a lot of time with my grandma who had at least 8 dachshunds! All throughout my life I’ve had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even hermit crabs. Naturally I was drawn to walking dogs, boarding them, and even helping them medically when I became a veterinary assistant. I now have 3 years of professional dog walking under my belt and I love it! From Pomeranians to the Great Pyrenees, I’ve walked em all. I can also provide cat walks or check-ins, as well as boarding for your feline friend. I have experience with different temperaments as well as senior dogs and cats, kittens and puppies of course. Getting to know each pet’s personality and temperament is of utmost importance and I strive to always give my all to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and of course happy with a wagging tail or lots of purrs! I’m solely focused on caring for dogs and cats on a weekly basis, pet sitting is a full-time commitment for me. Although I do have other passions such as gardening and baking, caring for other’s pets is my priority. I’m always happy to accommodate each individual pet’s needs, whether that be a particular nighttime routine, dressing your dog in an anxiety vest or administering medications. Of course, respect to your home is always a top priority and I will always follow whatever guidelines you have in place. As for my home, should you choose to board with me, I offer lots of fenced backyard space and plenty of room for indoor play and rest. I do have a crate available for a small or medium sized pet if necessary, cleaned and sanitized properly after each use. I also have A/C for those hot days and a heater that works wonders, and I keep an air purifier on as well.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood—I grew up with cats, dogs, and kittens, and that love for animals has only grown. I'm currently a foster for a local cat rescue, and friends and family often trust me to care for their pets, whether it’s dog walking or cat sitting. I bring patience, compassion, and experience to every visit, and I treat every pet like my own. I’m generally available and flexible Fridays through Sundays, since I work full-time Monday to Friday. I’m based in Cupertino during the week, so if you’re nearby and need weekday pet care, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to help when I can! When caring for your pet, I treat them as if they were my own—with patience, love, and attention to their unique personality and needs. Whether it's a walk, playtime, or just some quiet companionship, I focus on making each visit safe, comfortable, and enjoyable. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Milpitas is $27 per walk as of October 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.

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 your 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
