Milpitas splits between houses and townhomes. Owners hold 14,647 of the 25,066 occupied homes, 5,205 units are attached single-family homes and mostly townhomes, and another 4,617 sit in buildings of 50 or more. For a cat sitter that means a visit often starts at a building lobby or a gate code, so send the code and the unit number in your message before the first booking. Drop-in visits suit apartment and townhome cats in Parc Metro or Midtown, because the sitter comes once or twice a day and the cat stays home. Dogs in houses near Sunnyhills or up in Milpitas Hills fit overnight stays, where the sitter is on site and the routine holds.

I value an animal's comfort and try my best to create/maintain a safe environment where their unique personalities can safely explore and express themselves, while I make sure they get their excercise

Warm upstairs rooms, rare freezes and school breaks
August is the warmest month, with a normal high of 81 degrees, and a closed townhome upstairs gets warm by mid-afternoon. A sitter checks the AC or opens a shaded window before filling the bowl. Freezes come about three nights a year, so winter visits are about food and litter. January is the wettest month at 2.80 inches, so a storm can slow a visit; tell your sitter where the spare key and the flashlight are. Twice-a-day cat visits stack up around Milpitas Unified breaks: Thanksgiving week runs November 23 to 27, 2026, winter break December 21 to January 4, 2027, the February break takes February 15 to 19, and spring break runs April 12 to 16, 2027. Send your travel dates early so the visit plan covers the whole stretch, including the weekends in between.
Dog park rules and where dogs get walked
The Milpitas Dog Park at 3100 Calaveras Road sits inside Ed Levin Park and is the usual stop for off-leash time. Dogs go in and out on a leash, stay under voice control inside, and the handler stays with them, so a dog walker keeps your dog close and leashed on the way. Dogs under 20 inches at the shoulder can use the Small Dog Area. Higuera Adobe Park and Hillcrest Park are other city parks a walker can use for a leashed outing. Ed R. Levin County Park is the largest county regional park nearby and gives a bigger dog more room. Tell your sitter which spot you prefer when you book, and mention any dog that pulls or startles easily.
