“Erica has been a kind and attentive sitter for our cat, Cheetah. They immediately connected, and it was clear from the start that Cheetah felt comfortable and happy in her care!”
“Danielle was great with my anxious pup! She made herself available at the last minute after another sitter cancelled, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Adare with her for the day. We'd have her back in a heartbeat.”
“Shai is the BEST!! Truly the best Rover we have ever had. My dog takes awhile to warm up to people generally but loved her the moment he saw her and CRIES when she leaves the house (which he doesn’t even do for us!!). We are so grateful we found her!”
“Leslie was great. She was a good communicator before the sit and my dog loved her. She stayed after I got home to let me know how my dog was. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Brooke was a great caretaker of our dog Reilly! She stayed at our home with him, was very attentive and kind, and took him out on some great outings. She also did some training with him which we asked for and appreciated. Highly recommended!”
About: I am a life-long dog lover who has looked after the dogs in my family for years, from Australian Shepards to Shih Tzus. I began my career in childcare before transitioning to dog-care in recent years. I have experience with looking after dogs of all ages and sizes, which includes services such as feeding, walking, and daily enrichment or playtime. I am a recent USF graduate with lots of time to spare. I am available everyday, and will accept any time of day to take care of your pup. I am also available on weekends and holidays. When taking care of a pet at a client’s home, I make sure to keep the area clean and tidy for sanitary purposes. I am always sure to use a leash when going for walks or potty breaks, and I truly value feeding all dogs a clean, balanced diet. Playful activities with your canine is always special, and I enjoy playing catch or tug with toys that are available.
“Kimberly did a great job with my 2 cats! She played with them, kept their routines, and sent pictures and videos. She also took great care of my home. I definitely recommend her.”
“Loretta took such great care of our girls (2 full-size Standard Poodles), house, and plants while we were away for a week. In the midst of everything, Loretta was there while we were having some house work done and was excellent about keeping us updated on the home progress. She sent daily photos of our babies, and we felt very rest-assured while away. Upon our return our home was spotless and our pups seemed very happy and healthy. My husband and I wouldn’t hesitate to book Loretta in the future nor should you!”
“Regina did a great job taking care of our elder dog and two kittens. It was a huge relief to know that they were all being cared for and loved on while we were away from home. I got pics and updates every day and came home to three very contented and relaxed pets. It was clear they had all been very comfortable with Regina. She left my place perfectly neat, and was easy to communicate with throughout. I would highly recommend her services and will definitely be hiring her again whenever we have need and she is available.”
“Jessica was super respectful of our home, took wonderful care of our high energy dog and checked in regularly, asking great questions that showed she really cared about our dog and home. Definitely the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had!”
“Nikka is a wonderful, caring and attentive pet sitter! She stayed at my house with Juno and Lumi for a long weekend and I received lots of happy cat pictures over my time away. It's so nice to go out of town and know that my house and my boys are well cared for. Thank you Nikka! The boys miss you 😉”
“Seng is amazing. Ruby took to her immediately. Seng took great care of her, took her on long walks by the ocean, and gave us plenty of great photos. Honestly, I think Ruby will now be looking forward to when we go on vacation. Highly recommended.”
“Amazing pet sitter, my cats loved them. Respectful towards space, I came back home and my furry family was not anxious and looked very happy. Video calls ones a day during drop ins definitely helped my animals to feel better. Appreciate the help with my kitties.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a 6-year-old Burmese and Australian Shepherd mix, and over the years I’ve cared for four cats for more than 10 years combined. I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy working out, running, hiking, and spending quality time with animals. Long walks, play sessions, and providing both physical exercise and mental stimulation are some of my favorite ways to help pets stay happy and healthy. If your dog is energetic and requires extra activity, engagement, or attention, I’m more than happy to provide the level of care they need. I genuinely enjoy building connections with animals and treating them like family. I also created a social media account dedicated to my own dog, which reflects my love for capturing special moments and celebrating the joy pets bring into our lives. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion, and I strive to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet I meet. During the week I work from 10 AM to about 6 PM Monday through Friday. Outside of those hours I am available from 7:30 AM to about 9 AM Monday through Friday. Then on the weekends I’m typically free starting as early as you need me and as late as you need me. I ensure that I maintain my litter for my cats clean consistently washing the litter boxes replacing the litter and showing that I’m scooping at least three times a day. I also feed my cats twice a day and ensure they have a mix of wet food and kibble. For my dog I typically always wake up early in the morning to take him on a long walk and then I typically provide my dog breakfast followed by a treat. I spent a lot of time next to him so I will pet him hug him give him attention simulation. I did ensure that after work when I come home that I walk him at least 30 minutes and ensure that I am checking in on him and feeding him no later than 6 PM every day and then going on another walk after dinner. On the weekends I typically tip my dog on longer walk so we’ll go out and walk for about an hour on Saturday and Sunday I’ll make sure that I keep him away from a high foot traffic area is just to avoid any potential dog interactions that we may not be fully confident in as we don’t know everyone’s pet care routine or nuanced behavior issues. I’m always attentive and patient.
“We would give Perry 10 stars out of 5 if possible. He was very professional and knowledgeable. Asked great questions during the meet and greet which showed he cared the pups received great care. He communicated frequently and gave great updates. We came home two two very happy and healthy pups. Would 100% work with Perry again”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Heidi being our house and dog sitter. From the very beginning, she were incredibly attentive, responsible, and communicative. We received regular updates, photos, and thoughtful messages that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable when we returned home. It was obvious they paid close attention to routines, needs, and little details. They also took great care of our home — everything was clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. It’s not easy to trust someone with both your pet and your home, but Heidi exceeded our expectations in every way. We would absolutely book them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter. Thank you Heidi!!”
“We have booked Kristin multiple times to puppy sit our 12 week old puppy and she has been fantastic! She is very dog savvy, communicative and kind. Highly recommend!”
“Kassidy was great with our dog. You could tell at the meet and greet that she really took our dogs preferences to heart, and she provided great care for our dog while we were gone. She also gave us lots of updates throughout her time here. We will definitely book with her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Daly City is $75

Ashley took amazing care of our 5mo old Bernedoodle puppy Blueberry while we were away for two weeks. Being so young Blue can be a bit of a chaotic energetic handful and requires a bit of extra attention which Ashley handled super well. I was nervous to leave him but he loved Ashley and we loved the updates. She’ll be our top choice for any future pupsitting!
I had a great experience with Michael! He was reliable, and took excellent care of Kona. He kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos. Kona was well cared for and happy. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter, and I would definitely book with him again.
Hannah was great!! She was quick to respond to messaging and showed up on time for meet and greet and for dog sitting. My dog loved her and I felt very confident about leaving her at my place to care for her. She even removed all of her bedding after spending the night! Thank you Hannah!
Surekha has been an incredible cat sitter and is my go-to when I’m out of town. My cat Mars is so much happier staying in her home environment with Surekha stopping in for a few hours of play, treats, and cuddles each day. Always appreciate the updates and photos she shares. Highly recommend pet sitting with Surekha! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

FAQs for House Sitting - Daly City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Daly City on Rover is $68.48 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,954 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Daly City. 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 Daly City 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 Daly City 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 Daly City 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.
