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: 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'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.
About: Hi! I’m Fereshteh, a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom of two. I’ve been pet sitting since my student days and have experience caring for cats, dogs, and bunnies. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know each pet’s unique personality, whether they’re playful, shy, cuddly, or independent. I offer dependable drop-in visits and dog walking. Visits can include feeding, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of love and attention. I’m gentle, patient, and very detail-oriented, and I always follow your pet’s routine closely to help them feel safe and comfortable. I work full-time but have flexibility in my schedule, allowing me to provide consistent care and quality time during each visit. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always send updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I’d love to meet your fur baby and help care for them! 🐾💛 I work full-time during the weekdays, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to reliably fit in pet sitting. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, and I have much more availability on weekends. Because I live close to many families I sit for, I can easily stop by before or after work for feeding, check-ins, cuddles, and playtime. I offer reliable drop-in visits and dog walking to make sure your fur babies get the care and attention they need, with lots of love and gentle companionship.
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. ****PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: I am available after 3pm on Monday and Fridays and after 9pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I am free on weekends with advance notice. I am an early riser and can do drop-ins 6am - 7am on any day. 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.
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 been a lifelong dog lover with 10+ years of pet care experience. Your pup’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I love sharing the fun we’re having, so I will keep you updated with frequent messages and photos of your furbaby's wellbeing throughout their stay. You'll never have to wonder how they're doing! As a software engineer with a flexible remote schedule, I only go into the office two days a week. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your furbaby. I guarantee three walks a day and love taking your furbaby to the nearby dog park for exercise and socialization. Whether I'm working from home or off for the weekend, your furbaby will be a central part of my daily routine. Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for your furbaby, I maintain a highly supervised environment and strictly follow your established feeding, exercise, and medication routines.
“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”
“Erjin is super nice! He came by beforehand to meet our cat. He was really gentle and paid attention to all the little details. He took great care of our cats and sent us lots of photos. Our cat was very happy to see him! Thank you and highly recommend!”
“I used Elise again for a short trip out of town. She sent me daily updates and my kitty was well cared for. She is very responsive and reliable, and I know my pet is in good hands.”
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 the currently the owner of two highly active cats, one which I have raised since she was a kitten. Also, I have over 6 years of experience of raising several small sized dogs including puppies when I was a teenager. I am currently looking for employment so my weekly schedule is highly flexible. I can commit to pet care within a one day notice whether it be in the morning or evening. When I am pet sitting in your home, I will ensure that your pet gets my full attention and love. I will diligently follow any house rules imposed by the homeowner and clean up any messes that occur during my stay.
“Christina is detail originated and provides unparalleled love and care for our furry friend. Our pet has behavior issues and often poop outside litter box. She takes extra care to clean up the mess and even help feeding the community cat in our backyard. She writes a detailed report after each visit and provides extra video of playing and petting. We can tell that she is the true lover of the furry friends whom we can trust to take care of ours when we are away.”
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.
“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: Animal lover here! I am loving and attentive and can read animal body language very well. I will never push an animals boundaries and make sure they are loved and respected appropriately. Fun fact! I always wanted to be a vet since I was a little kid so I naturally have a huge passion for taking care and rescuing animals. I definitely have more cat experience than dog but I have worked with dogs before and grew up with 4 different dogs in my household. My mom has a dog with behavioral issues that I have taken care of multiple times so naturally I know how to read dog body language pretty well. I have rescued a one dog stray and about 8 cat/kitten strays. So on that, Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter and I will take care of your animal as if it were my own 🖤 I am currently full time working Tuesday-Saturday 9:30 am - 6:00 pm. I can absolutely do mornings and evenings before and after my shifts and I usually have full availability all Sunday Monday if get plenty notice ahead of time. I can do over nights for Saturdays and Sundays as well. I will make sure your animals are safe and loved and cared for appropriately. I am a very accommodating care giver so whatever special needs your animal has I have no issue with. I have been a cat owner for ten years now as well as I have also taken care of dogs for family. Safety is the number one priority for your animals and I promise I will treat as my own.
“Laurelle is 100% the BEST! My kitties are kind of particular and I felt 100% safe with laurelle taking care of them! I almost want to gatekeeper her so I know she’s around when I need to head out of town again! Best care, so sweet, and my cats love her! Cannot recommended her enough ?”
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.
About: I've been caring for animals for many years and have experience with cats, birds, and dogs. I've owned and cared for cats and birds, which has given me a strong understanding of their daily needs, behaviors, and personalities.

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!
Emily is the greatest sitter I’ve ever had. She’s so kind and patient with my two cats. My girl cat isn’t as friendly, but somehow Emily’s won her over. I’ve booked her several times. She’s consistent, trustworthy, reliable, and extremely communicative—all very important qualities to have in someone who’s taking care of your loved ones. I’ll keep booking her as long as she’ll have us 😻.
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!
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 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!

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 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.
