“Elizabeth was AMAZING with our pets! My Maverick is not the easiest dog to come around as a stranger, but Elizabeth managed to establish a good rapport with him. She took notes during our first meet and greet which went a long way in giving us peace of mind while we were away. We came back to a spotless house, and she provided updates on the pets just the right amount… Not too often and not only when I asked. I am usually very nervous when I spend more than a few days away from the fur babies, but Elizabeth made it so easy to feel secure knowing my babies were in good hands. THANK YOU, Elizabeth! 10/10 will be booking again!”

“Joy is a first rate sitter. Punctual on timing, very good communication, and our dogs love her. We were glad to have her with our dogs so that we could relax and have fun at our friend’s birthday party. She sent a few pics and updates to keep us informed about her and the dogs. Highly recommended.”


About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own Samoyed, which has given me a strong understanding of large-breed dogs, their energy levels, grooming needs, and daily routines. In addition to Samoyeds, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to follow care instructions closely. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, habits, and comfort level, whether that means energetic walks, gentle playtime, or simply providing calm companionship. I also help reinforce basic routines such as leash manners, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and medication if needed. Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets the time and attention they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I work part-time as a dental assistant, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. This allows me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins thoughtfully throughout my day and week. I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so pets always receive attentive, unrushed care. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending my free time caring for dogs and cats. I care for pets with a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Whether in the pet’s home or during visits, I follow your instructions carefully, ensure the environment is secure, and supervise pets at all times. I pay attention to each animal’s needs and personality, providing food, water, playtime, or rest as appropriate. I also send updates to keep owners informed and reassured.
“Michelle is wonderful!!! She took care of both our pups while we were gone on a family vacation. She provided optimal care, snuggling with our babies and sent pics when out on walks!! She helped soothe my anxiety with prompt texts, I would absolutely recommend her again!!”

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: I’ve taken care of many dogs, from the very small to very big! I was fortunate enough to grow up with a black lab of 16 years and my aging feline I still see when I visit my parents on the east coast. I’m athletic and affectionate with a flexible schedule - I’d love to care for your little loved ones the way they need. Currently, I work part time in Mountain View and live and attend school in San Jose. I’m looking for small jobs so my availability is pretty flexible. I am fully available Thursdays through Sundays. I live in an HOA that has a private and quiet environment for walking and playing. My townhouse has the space for your pet. Additionally, I like going to SJSU for more of an open space to play and relax as well.
“Sofia was a lifesaver for a last minute booking. She was so loving, attentive and loving with our Ozzy. She was professional and respectful in our home and sent me constant updates, pictures and videos which gave me peace of mind. She is so talented and also does dog portraits on the side. Check out her work: https://instagram.com/maga_personalizados_?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= I would love to hire her again! She was one of my best sitters yet!! ?”


About: I enjoy interacting with dogs and am very passionate about them! My sister has a husky and my brother has a golden doodle. It is so much fun playing with them and giving them the attention they need. I enjoy watching them with the way they communicate with us. I am caring and loving person who has a passion for taking care of dogs. I am usually available to walk dogs in the evenings or on the weekends, but my full time work is flexible so I would be available in the mornings and afternoons if I know ahead of time. I am also available to dog sit anytime during the week and occasional weekends and I am quite flexible. I hope to get the opportunity to care for your dog and I will take very good care of them. Thank you for your time! I currently have a flexible job schedule and am able to take care of the pups when needed. I'm available on weeknights and weekends and am flexible. The way I would care of pets at the client's home is by ensuring that they have everything they need and follow what the client's needs are for their pet.
About: I have cared for and loved dogs throughout all of my life. I had 2 Lhasa Apsos growing up and a Yorkie when I was in my twenties. A big piece of me is gone now that my babies have all passed on to dog heaven. Luckily for me, I get to enjoy being an auntie to 3 adorable pups. I am the designated dog sitter for my sister’s three fur babies whenever she is out of town. I also dog sit and cat sit for some of my close friends. Taking care of any one’s fur babies is a huge responsibility and it is one I do not take lightly. I love (and have experience with) both large and small. My sister has two Maltipoos—one of which is a teacup—and a Chow Chow. So, I am familiar with the care needed to watch over pups as small as teacups and pooches as big as Chow Chows. I would love the opportunity to meet your fur baby, and if given the honor to do so, I look forward to spoiling a new furry friend. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is very flexible. My goal is to make finding quality and reliable pet care as seamless and easy as possible. I know my rates are not the lowest, but I offer above and beyond loving care of your fur baby (as though they are my own). I would be thrilled to care for your baby and accommodate your requested service. I have a 3 bedroom home with a spacious fenced yard, and a gate we keep locked and secured at all times. I maintain a clean and clutter free home, so there is plenty of space for your fur baby to stretch his/her legs and run around safely. Under my care, I will put extra attention into playing and ensuring your pet feels comfortable and happy. Being away from parents in a new environment is often stressful for our fur babies, so I’ll do what I can to help calm their nerves and welcome them into my home. If they have any favorite toys or blankets, please bring them. Unless otherwise specified, I will give 2x daily feedings in the morning and early evening, go for a morning walk, offer playtime inside and out in the yard throughout the day (with naps in between) and a longer walk to the dog park before winding down for the night.
About: Iv grown up with so many animals and pets around me! Cats, dogs, birds, turtles, fishes, rabbits, deers and even peacocks! Cats were my favourite. I had two persian cats, and constantly cared for my aunts 5 kittens and my friends siamese cats! Iv also had dalmation dogs and german shepherds ! I work 2 days from home and 3 days in the office and my schedule is pretty flexible! I can plan my days according to the pets needs. Whatever and however my clients want things done is how I do them. I prefer caring for the pets in their own home since then they are more comfortable and not exposed to too much change.
“We trust Scarlett with our dog Lola so much! She takes such great care of her, and sends detailed updates during her stay. Our home is always spotless when we return as well. We appreciate how great of a Rover Scarlett is!!”

“We were lucky to find Saturday. Our dogs felt very comfortable around her from the first moment. They could feel her love for pets. She took great care of them and of our home.”

“Jennifer is incredibly kind and genuinely cares about animals. She is also very responsible and communicative. She sends regular updates with photos and videos throughout the day, so we feel connected even when we’re away. The house is always spotless when we return — she keeps everything very clean and tidy, way beyond what we expect. She’s reliable, professional, and truly a joy to work with. If you’re looking for a trustworthy pet sitter who treats your home and pets like her own, look no further. Jennifer is the best! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”


“Charlie was fantastic! He took great care of all of our pets and ensured that they were loved and tended to throughout the day. He went above and beyond and visited the pets twice before taking on the task of handling them on his own, which shows his dedication to his clients. He sent tons of pictures and videos to us throughout and we would book him again if available in the future! :) He was also very quick to communicate throughout the entire experience to add onto this!”

“Sophia took care of bobo for a day while we had a family outing, the comms were great -she was very sweet with taking care of him and was very attentive to our concerns for his routine. Sophia is going to be our regular sitter !”

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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Milpitas is CA$75

Emily and her daughter went above and beyond taking care of my dog and house while I was away. From administering daily medicines to showering my pup with so much love, affection, and tasty food, they truly treated her like family. I felt 100% at peace the entire vacation knowing everything was taken care of. Thank you both so much for your warmth, reliability, and big hearts!

Parind was absolutely wonderful with our dog Daisy! From the moment they met, it was clear that Parind has a genuine love for animals and a natural ability to make dogs feel comfortable and at ease. Daisy was happy, well-cared for, and clearly had a great time throughout the entire stay. Parind provided us with timely updates and photos, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. We couldn't recommend Parind more highly and will absolutely be booking again!
My wife and I couldn’t be happier with the care our fur babies received! From the very first interaction, Chiara was responsive, professional, and genuinely kind — exactly the kind of person you hope to find when leaving your pets in someone else’s hands. What really stood out was the communication. We received regular updates throughout the stay — photos, check-ins, and little notes that made it so easy to relax and enjoy our time away, knowing our fur kids were in wonderful hands. Chiara handled everything thoughtfully and on time, and you could tell our pets were truly loved and looked after. We came home to happy, comfortable animals, and clean home which says it all. We would absolutely recommend Chiara without hesitation and will 100% be booking again. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative — look no further!

FAQs for House Sitting - Milpitas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Milpitas on Rover is $64.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,659 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Milpitas. 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 Milpitas 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 Milpitas 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 Milpitas 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 Milpitas. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
