“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 !”

“We love Cassidy going above and beyond her house and pet sitting duties, during our 10-day vacation. Cassidy is kind, caring, and very professional. When we returned from our trip, the inside of the house was immaculate, and our house was cleaner than the day we left. In addition, due to the windy and hot weather days, Cassidy took the initiative to do extra hand watering of the several trees and rose bushes in our front and back yards. Finally, Cassidy took wonderful care of our indoor/outdoor cat. Cassidy sent us several photos of the cat, made sure the cat was well fed, changed the water in the cat’s water fountain regularly, and washed the cat’s bedding. Normally, the cat comes inside the house on his own after sunset. But sometimes, he loves to play hide and seek, and Cassidy kindly went searching for the cat in the neighborhood a few times. We highly recommend Cassidy’s work ethic, and we will absolutely use her services again.”

About: I’m a huge animal lover and proud dog parent to two adorable long-haired dachshunds (ages 7 and 8), so I’m very familiar with big personalities in small bodies—think stubborn moments, a little sass, and lots of clingy cuddles! Beyond my own pups, I’ve cared for senior pets, including regularly cat-sitting for an older cat, and I also have experience helping animals recover after surgery. I’m comfortable giving medications, keeping healing areas clean and dry, and making sure pets stay safe and comfortable while they heal. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own—with lots of attention, patience, and love. I am currently focusing on upskilling and finding a new job, so I am doing this for supplemental income. My time is also very flexible; as long as I have proper notice, I can accommodate. House Sitting: I value the health and safety of my animals first, making sure they are fed the appropriate amount, and taken any medication. After that, I actually keep a pretty clean house, and will require my dogs to be clean as well, so if we do go outside I will at the very least wash their paws ALWAYS. Dog Walking: When dog walking, I will stay clear or other dogs, until I am really familiar with your dog and his/her behavior. I believe in safety first, and that means being able to control your dog. In situations where there is another dog coming towards us, I will pick your dog up immidiately to avoid an unecessary situation.
“Elizabeth was a great find! She made me feel secure in leaving my dogs while I was out of the country for a week. She provided daily updates on how my dogs were doing with photos included. She took great care of Maddie who had an eye injury which required daily medicine and eye drops. I noticed she even left my house spotless when her week of in house dog sitting was complete. Thanks so much Elizabeth, you will definitely be the one I want to book with in the future :)”


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.
“Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾”

“Rendell is amazing. He is a great communicator and took stellar care of my pup on a very last minute booking. I will definitely track him down again the next time I need a sitter.”

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.
“Estela was very professional and friendly towards our dog. Somehow our dog instantly bonded with her and even though he has separation anxiety, with Estela he was quite comfortable and calm. I would like to request her service again.”

“I highly recommend Yifei! She took amazing care of Koda and kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was very kind, patient, and attentive, and it was clear that she truly cared for him. One thing I especially appreciated was that she brought Koda to her house so he could play with her dogs. He had such a great time, and it was obvious how happy and comfortable he was. He came home happy, and well cared for.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have experience with puppies, rescues, seniors, and anxious pets. I build trust through patience, positive reinforcement, and lots of love, making every pet feel safe and at home. I grew up with a black lab since the day I came home from the hospital. She was a black lab who lived til 14. She passed away playing fetch up northern Minnesota due to a heart attack playing fetch in the lake. She entered heaven doing her greatest love. There has always been peace to that. In 2020 I rescued Aspen. She is a Great Pyrenees, English mastiff, and laborador retriever. She saved my walks by allowing me to take her for two hour long walks a day at a nearby regional trail during the pandemic. I taught her how to swim, pray, shake, kiss, and potty. From the teething puppy stage to the nap loving 5 year old stage, I have adored witnessing her transition through it all. Though she rests hard, she plays harder. When I moved to San Jose with my partner, Lucy, my 11 year old Maltese joined the family. She is full of eye boogers, but even more full of love and warm cuddles she loves long walks up to even 4 miles. Aside from that, I quickly made a name for myself as a dog sitter in San Jose. Through connections, I have landed opportunities to watch one elderly and one 5 year old red lab overnight in Monterey, five other primary dogs in the east bay from a 1 year old rescue lab, to a shy and night loving cat, to a 3 year old rescued German Sheppard, to a highly intelligent greyhound, and a foster Samoyed turned adopted puppy who went from shy, severely underweight and timid, to strong, smiley, and full of chatter. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs midday walks, overnight stays, or extra companionship, I can easily adapt to their routine and give them the time, attention, and exercise they deserve. I maintain your pet’s routine with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, medications if needed, and personalized care. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send regular photo updates.
“Esther was great, would book with her again! She took the time to come for a meet and greet ahead of time, followed everything we asked to take care of our dog, including medication, and took good care of our place. Thanks!”

“Amadita was AMAZING with our Bouzy! Incredibly accommodating and playful with her while we were away. It’s great to have a reliable sitter - will definitely book with Amadita again 😊😊”

“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!!”

“I always reach out to Yumi first to see if she is available to care for Kento. She has looked after him multiple times and consistently gives me complete peace of mind. Yumi is prompt in her communication, punctual, clean, caring, and always transparent. She often goes the extra mile in ways I don’t even think to ask, which speaks to her conscientiousness and attention to detail. I trust her so fully that I sometimes realize I haven’t checked in as much as I normally would—because I know Kento is in excellent hands. The videos and photos she sends reassure me that Kento is not only being cared for, but truly understood. She pays close attention to his spirit and mood and communicates with him in a way that is both thoughtful and intuitive. Without hesitation, Yumi is my go-to sitter whenever she is available, and I highly recommend her to any family seeking someone reliable, caring, and genuinely invested in animals well-being.”

About: Hello! I used to work at an animal hospital where part of my role was hanging out with the animals. There was a boarding facility in the back and on my break time I used to go back and hang out with the dogs. I have a good amount of experience hanging out with dogs. My coworkers used to say I had a magic touch with dogs and was able to help them feel comfortable. (Mainly I respected their space if they wanted it but was very, very open to playing and saying hello). I work from home consistently from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, so I am able to stay with your pet during those work hours!! I do it already for my cousins when they travel. I am able to take animals on short walks in the morning, and after work. I can also let them out for potty breaks. I can also help with feeding and provide general companionship (*depending on how vocal they are during meetings).
“Kiana stayed at our home for nine days to watch our dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was a long time for us to be away, especially from a pup with separation anxiety and health issues that require medication multiple times a day, so we needed someone truly exceptional. Kiana was even better than that! She is incredibly detail oriented and follows every instruction with care. Our house was clean and well looked after. But what really sets Kiana apart is how deeply she cares. Knowing our dog struggles with new people and stressful transitions, she not only came for an initial meet and greet but proactively offered to visit again so he could feel completely comfortable before the long stay. Throughout her time with him, she sent photos and updates that showed just how relaxed and happy he was. He was genuinely loved and perfectly cared for, and honestly, I think he is bummed now that she is gone! We will absolutely be requesting Kiana’s help again. Highly recommend!”

“Jennifer & Luke are super kind people and took awesome care of my puppy Biscuit while my boyfriend and I were away for a couple of days. I'd highly recommend Jennifer, and I will definitely be a repeat client.”


“Stacy is simply wonderful! She is great with communication and went above and beyond not only watching our dogs but also getting our house cleaned up before we got home. She gave our pups lots of love! We are grateful that we found her ?”

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!

Amanda house sat with our two cats 3 times now. The last visit we had a new kitty that is a bit skittish at first, but she seemed to warm up quickly to Amanda. Both cats really like her and she takes great care of them. She is also very considerate of the house and everything is very tidy when we return home.

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!

Vivien did great with our hyper (and somewhat anxious) pup when we had to leave for a weekend. She communicated great with us & was patient & sweet with our dog, who can be a handful! Our pup absolutely loved her. She left our home spotless and we will definitely use her services more in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Milpitas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Milpitas on Rover is $62.09 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 4,615 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.
