“We needed a drop in sitter on very short notice and Wenran was wonderful. She was punctual, followed all instructions, and was very communicative. Best of all, our pets loved her. We will definitely book 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.
“Yixiang did a wonderful job with our cat, Zoe. She took the time to learn and ask thorough questions about Zoe’s care, including administering oral medications. We appreciated the photos she shared from her drop ins - it was clear our cat loved spending time with Yixiang! We look forward to rebooking in the future.”

About: I’ve had the joy of seeing my own dogs and cats grow from tiny puppies and kittens into beloved seniors (16+ years old), caring for them through every stage of their lives. I understand how much love and importance they hold in our families, and how deeply we cherish their companionship. What sets me apart is the heartfelt care and experience I bring. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with everything from energetic walks to gentle senior care. Whether it’s giving medications, providing extra patience with older pets, or simply showering them with love and attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. It’s a true joy and privilege for me to look after these little four-legged angels while giving peace of mind to their families. Pet care is naturally part of my daily life. I make sure pets in my care get plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m very mindful of their routines, and I always prioritize their needs — from morning walks to afternoon playtime and everything in between.So they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Providing a calm and attentive environment is very important to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. When pets stay in my home, they are treated like family. I let them explore the space freely, relax on the couch, and even sleep with me if that’s what they’re used to, but I always make sure to follow the owner’s rules and preferences, whether the pet is staying at my home or I’m caring for them in their home. I want them to feel as comfortable and loved as they do at home. I live very close to a beautiful park with a dog park and walking trail, which is perfect for daily walks, playtime, and giving them a fun outdoor adventure.

About: I have experience training puppies, sitting for adult dogs and cats for over 3 years! The cute Aussie in my profile picture is my roommate’s dog I helped raise from a puppy. I love all dogs, and will make sure your pet is treated with the upmost care and love ❤️ I work flexible hours so I can adapt to your pet’s needs. I live a pretty active lifestyle so I enjoy taking your dog out on multiple walks, hikes, runs, based on how active your dog is! I currently have no pets so your dog/cat will have my full attention! I only take one pet at a time. I am pretty active so I’m happy to take your pet out for frequent walks. I will take many photos and update you consistently, and follow your pet’s routine attentively.

“We had a great experience with Sierra! She took wonderful care of Boots while we were away and kept us updated throughout, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and attentive to all the care instructions we left. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for kitty. Would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for an Akita dog and cats since they were just seven weeks old, and I currently look after a one-year-old corn snake and two four-year-old river turtles. I understand that every pet has its own routine, preferences, and comfort zone, and I’m patient and attentive to those individual needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I communicate clearly with pet parents, provide regular photo updates, and make sure you always feel at ease while you’re away. Your pets’ happiness and safety always come first — and I’ll do everything I can to make sure they feel loved and well cared for. I can provide pet care on weekdays, both early mornings and late nights, with flexibility on weekends to fit your schedule and your pets routine! At your home, I make sure your pet’s space stays familiar and comforting. I follow their usual schedule for feeding, play, and rest, keep litter boxes and living areas clean, and provide companionship and reassurance while you’re away. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
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: 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 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 have had pets for a very long time so I know how to take care of them properly and can provide a dog the attention that he or she needs. I work full time during the weekdays but on weekends I am typically free to care for a dog in my home. The weekends usually consist of me being free from the afternoon to the evening. I have a small yard that is fenced in to keep the dogs in a safe play environment and I have plenty of toys as well as a young Husky to keep the dog company.

About: I’ve had a dog as part of my family for about three years and have hands-on experience with feeding, walks, and daily care. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially when their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s routine, and keep you updated with messages and photos during visits. My goal is to give your furry family member plenty of care and attention while giving you peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule and can arrange pet visits around my daily routine. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s needs in advance and agree on a schedule that works for both of us. I’ll do my best to be reliable and consistent with every visit. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, and make sure your pet has fresh water, food as requested, and plenty of attention.

About: I have three dogs currently I am caring for, they are treated like my own kids oldest is 9 years old. Prior to adopting my first, I worked at Ace Animal Hospital as reception and a procedure care assistant. I work a full time job, but have plenty of time on the weekends and afternoons to play/walk with your pups. Open to reoccurring work where it makes sense, for your family. I am a good judge of animal temperament from my experience working at the vet, and can ensure that the experience will be beneficial to your family. I am adept in routine feeding, care administration, and active play with your doggos.
About: I've been a passionate and dedicated pet caregiver for over 10 years, starting with my own family pets and expanding to offering professional sitting services. I prioritize a pet's comfort and safety, ensuring a stress-free and fun experience, whether through long walks, engaging playtime, or simply providing comforting cuddles. I structure my week to ensure consistent and high-quality care for every pet. I limit the number of bookings I take on simultaneously, allowing dedicated time for walks, feeding schedules, play, and individual attention, rather than trying to juggle too many commitments. I maintain a meticulously safe and pet-friendly environment. My home is completely puppy-proofed, secured with baby gates, and all hazardous items are stored away. I follow all pet parent instructions precisely, including feeding guidelines and medication administration. For in-client-home care, I focus on respecting the client's space while upholding the same high standard of safety and care, including securing external doors and being hyper-aware of the pet's familiar surroundings.

“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! :))”

About: Hello! I’ve had a love for animals since I could stand on my own two feet. As a young little girl I always felt like I had a strong connection with all animals. I grew up with a Labrador Retriever named Jetta who has now passed but she was my very best friend. I now have a beautiful fur baby named Onyx who will soon be 5 yrs old. That cat is literally my whole world. I hold a soft spot for each and every species and absolutely love expanding my knowledge about all of them. I look forward to meeting so many new furry friends and making sure that your best friend is safe and has the best day!

Yue did an amazing job taking care of my cat. She gave him lots of cuddles and playtime and treats while making sure he has food, water and clean litter. I loved seeing the photos of my cat that she would send every visit. Highly recommend her as a sitter!

It is always wonderful working with Emily! This was the fourth time booking with her and each drop in visit has gone flawlessly. She has a great attention to detail when watching Tsuki and makes sure to follow each of the many instructions I give her. I highly recommend her!

Zihan was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and responsible throughout the entire booking. Not only did she take great care of all the essentials, but she also genuinely cared about my cat’s overall well-being and paid attention to all the little details. Her detailed updates and photos gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Both my cat and I were very happy with her care! I would highly recommend Zihan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Fereshteh was wonderful! We had to book her last minute, but she took the time to understand all of Luna's needs and cared for her so well. Seeing her regular updates allowed us to truly relax on our trip. Luna connected with her instantly, which gave us total peace of mind. We highly recommend Fereshteh and will definitely be booking her again!

As always, Elise takes great care of my cats while I’m away. They are very comfortable with her and she has been my go to sitter for a few years now even after I moved houses. This time there were ant trails on multiple days and she helped clean everything up! I highly recommend her for your furbaby caretaking needs.

This was my second time booking Laurelle, and she was once again wonderful with Bunny and Simba. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, and it’s clear that both cats feel comfortable with her. Her thoughtful updates and photos gave me complete peace of mind throughout the weekend, and I returned to two happy, relaxed cats. I’m so glad to have found someone I can trust with them and would happily book her again!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Milpitas is $29 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $53 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 7,171 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Milpitas. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
