“Sierra was great! She responded quickly to my last minute booking and was super accommodating. She sent lots of pictures and videos and filled me in on Coco while I was on vacation. I would definitely recommend her to others!”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. Dogs and cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether they want an extra walk, a game of fetch, plenty of cuddles, or just someone to quietly hang out with, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved until you're home. Caring for pets has always been part of my daily life. I have a flexible schedule, so I can plan my day around walks, drop-in visits, and making sure pets get the time and attention they deserve. I genuinely enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and, of course, hanging out with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I also have my own dog and she gets daily walks, a lot of playtime, and a lot of love! I know pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do my best to keep things as familiar as possible while you're away. I'll follow your care instructions closely, whether that means feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications, litter box cleaning, or just spending quality time with your pet. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you know they're happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have experience with dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs (small and large) and have fostered one Pit Bull Terrier. I have basic dog training skills, and enjoy taking dogs for long walks. I also fostered two cats at once: one with high energy and the other being more cautious and shy. I adore animals and am always eager to educate myself on how to better care for a pet's specific needs. I do Rover part-time. I am only available after 5pm on weekdays, but am free on weekends with advance notice. I am an early riser and can check on pets in morning if preferred and needed. In client's homes, I stay in the permitted spaces I am allowed to be in. I follow the house rules and respect the privacy and space. I understand that each pet has their own routine and quirks, so I will follow care instructions carefully. I live in an apartment building with no yard, so I walked around the neighborhood with my foster dog. I also would drive to nearby parks for a change of scenery. Both cats and dogs have access to my entire apartment except for my bedroom. I do not have central AC, but will leave my window open for dogs and have a fan blowing. I've had cats previously break my window screens, so I will leave a fan blowing on hot days. Additionally. I leave an air purifier on at all times to help remove allergens from the environment. I have wooden floors.
“Elise went out of her way to meet up at my home an hour after I requested a drop in visit for that same day. When she stopped by around 5:30pm to take Vivi out and play with him, she sent photos and a thorough description of what they did. Thank you so much Elise for accommodating us last minute!!”
“We cant be more than happy to have Anh taking care of our dogs for the holidays she was always on time and got many pictures and making sure our babies were safe while we were gone . I feel very confident and happy with her been so professional and response all the time . I hope she continue helping us in the near futures .”
“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”
“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”
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 been caring for pets since 2019. I previously owned two cats, who now live with my family after I relocated. Caring for them taught me how to understand different personalities, routines, and behaviors. I've also cared for both cats and dogs for 5–6 friends while they were away, with my longest pet-sitting stay lasting over two months. I've cared for pets with different energy levels and personalities, and I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and following any special care instructions. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to detail. Whether it's a cat or a dog, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'll also provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I'm available on weekdays and weekends for drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and longer-term care. I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule while keeping your pet's daily routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's comfort and safety are always my top priorities. Having cared for both cats and dogs, I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs. I'll carefully follow your care instructions, maintain a clean and safe environment, and make sure your pet feels comfortable while you're away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication, or extra attention for shy or senior pets, I'm happy to help. I'll also send regular photo and video updates to give you peace of mind. I'm comfortable caring for shy, senior, or high-energy pets, and I'll always let them interact at their own pace without forcing attention.
“Adrianna was an amazing cat sitter! She took such great care of our cat while we were on vacation, giving us peace of mind the entire time. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure our furry friend was happy and well cared for. We truly appreciate her kindness and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Zihan is amazing! She has the initiative to take care of my two cats and even my plants! She’s positive, passionate about the job and report timely for any abnormal situation. I enjoyed my holiday time and I will book her again!”
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.
“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 taken care of all manner of animals from dogs and cats to chickens. I have grew up in Los Gatos and that is where most of my clients have been base. I've worked with animals of all ages. I am available in the mornings and the evenings each week day and all day on weekends. I have a flexible schedule on the weekends- anytime will work. I care for all pets as if they were my own. Frequently taking them out to potty and having a confident feeding schedule morning and night.
About: Since I was a child, I’ve been surrounded by dogs, starting with my first pup at age 7. By the time I was 13, I had three dogs, one of whom was elderly and disabled, giving me valuable experience in senior care. Over the years, I’ve walked numerous dogs and provided pet sitting for puppies and older dogs alike, accumulating a wealth of experience with pets of all ages and needs. What sets me apart from other sitters? For starters, I have a knack for understanding and adapting to each dog’s unique personality. Whether it’s a playful puppy in need of training or a senior dog requiring gentle care, I handle it all with love and patience. My special skills include administering medications, providing specialized care for elderly and disabled dogs, and creating a fun, safe environment for your pets. I’m committed to providing top-notch care with a smile, ensuring your furry friends are happy and well-cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working Monday to Friday until 3:30 pm I’m down and free for weekends or if you need me to take care of your furry friend couple hours during the week after 4 pm I always respect the home of my clients very much, I adapt to what makes the pet and its owner feel more comfortable. I want you feel save and your furry friend too

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.
Emily was extremely caring and went above and beyond by spending a lot of extra time with Luna so she wouldn't be lonely. The communication was excellent—we received consistent updates and adorable photos the entire time. We felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such loving hands. We are so happy with the care Luna received!
Sheela was amazing! She was very communicative, proactive and flexible! She sent me updates all the time and made me feel at ease. She took very good care of Nico and Tuco. I could tell from the pictures she took my babies weren't stressed and in good hands. I would highly recommend her! :))
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!
Andrew is amazing! I needed a last minute sitter over a couple of days and he responded within an hour:) super communicative and asked many questions to make sure our dogs got everything they needed. He also updated us throughout his visits and our dogs were so happy! Definitely rebooking and you should too!
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 Pet Sitting in Milpitas on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,220 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Milpitas. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Milpitas stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
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.
