“leslie was wonderful with our dog sage. she made sage feel comfortable and loved while we were away. she also sent lots of pictures which we really appreciated! we felt at ease knowing sage was in great hands. we would absolutely book with her again!”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“Grace was a great sitter! She kept our older dog on her normal schedule (something that’s important to me!), sent photos and updates, plus we came home to a clean house. It’s always a little nerve wracking leaving your pet, especially when you are out of the country for 2+ weeks but Grace made sure I felt comfortable before leaving and was easy to communicate with. I’ll absolutely have her come stay again if she’s available.”
“I’ve booked Cameron for cat sitting 3 times now, and this was our first time also including house sitting because we were gone for longer. She does an amazing job with our cat and sends a bunch of pictures every day. It really helps us feel fully relaxed when we’re on vacation, knowing that our little guy is totally taken care of!”
“Julia spent time with our dog Scout during our wedding weekend. She was so great with him, communicating updates and photos throughout her stays so we had plenty of peace of mind. Scout was so happy to see Julia and we can tell he really enjoyed his time with her. We are grateful to have found a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter in SF”
“Brianna was fantastic! We reached out to her the day before we needed help with my dad’s dogs while we were staying at a rental out of town, and she was incredibly responsive, kind, professional, and reliable. She kept us updated with photos throughout the visit, which gave us great peace of mind. Most importantly, Harley and Cooper absolutely loved her. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Merci is fantastic! She stayed in my home with my 4-yr old Shiba Inu for 2 weeks, and sent me updates with pictures and videos everyday. She was very communicative & clearly enjoyed playing with my dog. I would absolutely hire her again, and I wholeheartedly recommend her !”
“Muhammad watched our cat over a long weekend and it was clear the two of them had a wonderful time! He sent us lots of pictures and videos, which were really nice. I’ll definitely rebook in the future!”
About: Besides being a natural born bark enthusiast I spent 7 years as a nanny and house manager which often times also included taking care of the family dogs inside their home and occasionally my own. When it comes to your fur baby. I treat them as my own. I love to teach and practice tricks and basic training. I am extremely patient and positive when it comes to training. I will definitely spoil your pup and give them the best time! Whether it's one hour or one week, your canine cutie is in excellent hands and will get the royal treatment. From a paw massage, to extra pets, cuddles and even their own personal broadway musical, I love to make sure your dog is spoiled and feeling good! It's what I do, a true dog lover. I'm available all during the week, weekends too. Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me 😊 I prefer to work with small or schmedium dogs. Though I occasionally work with big dogs. 🐩Please note for overnight stays my dog come with me. My day is structured and prioritized around your dogs needs and exercise level. I spend the majority of my time with your dog, making sure they have company and don't feel anxious and aren't left alone for too long.
About: Our family has always loved raising and caring for dogs because they’re part of our family too. We love meeting new dogs and seeing dogs everywhere we go. Our dogs throughout the years have gotten the utmost love, care, and attention—we would do anything for them! You can depend on me to care for your dog since I have the most flexible schedules and crave pup time all the time! Your furbaby will definitely get all the playtime and care (and cuddles) they need. I live in a gated, dog-friendly community where we can walk your dog with peace of mind. Our neighborhood is very quiet—no busy streets. Lots of space and environment to walk around and dogs to meet! I also only host one pet at a time when they board with me so they get all our attention 🙂 I love to play with your furbaby as I do have toys too, or just hangout with then if they’re the chill type. They can also hangout in my over-looking veranda to enjoy the view and nice weather.
“Dwight was very responsive and available on short notice when our other arrangements fell through. He took great care of our dog and cat and took some really beautiful photos. We came home to happy pets and a clean house. Would recommend!”
About: With over a decade of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and love to every pet I care for, be it a playful puppy, a dignified senior dog, a curious kitten, or a serene adult cat. My expertise spans all sizes and breeds, ensuring that whether your pet barks or purrs, they receive the highest quality of individualized care. I specialize in everything from training to senior pet care, and my hands-on, affectionate approach ensures every animal feels at home with me. My commitment goes beyond walks and feeding; I strive to create a bond with each pet, providing them with a joyful and comforting experience every time. Pet care fits perfectly into my current lifestyle as I pursue my master's degree from home. This flexibility allows me to integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine, scheduling study breaks for walks and playtime that keep both me and your pets active and happy. Finding a part-time role in pet care not only complements my studies but also enriches my life with the joy and fulfillment that comes from caring for animals. It offers a harmonious blend of responsibility and companionship, and I am enthusiastic about making each pet a cherished part of my everyday routine. As a current master's student studying from home, I understand the importance of a stable and safe environment—both for myself and the pets I care for. In my home, pets enjoy a dedicated, pet-proofed space where they can relax and play freely without hazards. I maintain a clean, calm, and welcoming atmosphere that respects their routines and instincts. Similarly, when caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize their safety and comfort by adhering to their familiar surroundings and schedules, ensuring a trusting bond and a sense of security. I approach each pet care opportunity with integrity and attentiveness, recognizing that creating a trustworthy and safe environment is paramount to their well-being and my credibility as a caregiver.
“My dog care fell through a couple days before going away and I needed someone to stay with my dogs for 2 nights. My older boy is easy going , but my little guy has a lot of stranger danger and I was pretty stressed about finding care I felt good about . Emily came through with an easy going confident energy and her responsiveness was much appreciated when time was running out. She found time for a meet and greet and wasn’t intimidated by my little one’s antics. In the end it all worked out and I was able to attend an out of town wedding without being stressed out about my dogs and home the whole time . Thanks Emily .”
“Kristin is very responsible in her communications and her committment to times of arrival. I have used her twice now and both times she made a special accomodation to stop by early on the way to work so I could get my dog Lucy "used to her" and wouldn't be surprised in the afternoon. Throughout the stay, Kristin sent me a good amount of pictures and updates at least twice a day, often three. I highly recommend Kristin.”
About: As the title says, full-tume dog dad and proud of it. Volunteered at Muttville for some time before adopting two more (a Maltese from the shelter and a Boxer/Pitbull who followed me home.) Have effectively trained three small dogs to follow me off-leash, with one being my neighbors' Maltipoo as well. I manage to take my over-active dogs on at least 2 walks per day, with the usual three, though Ive been known to include my neighbors dog and/or I happen to be fostering at that time. All small dogs within my care have been taught to walk off-leash safely. I have a small studio where all three dogs live in relative harmony. I have introduced my neighbors Maltese, Miko, to all three of my dogs and feel who/how they communicate with best (Ie Miko gets along best with my 80 lb Boxer/Pitbull "Bruno" rather than the other Maltese and Chihuahua I have myself. They play outside and/or cuddle together when my neighbors are out of town.) Any dog that enters my doors are spoiled beyond belief and if any of my dogs get rowdy, they get put on "Timeout" in the bathroom, rather than in a cage or leashed up outside.
“Joytika stayed with my senior cat Taylor and did a great job of attending to her special needs, socializing with her, and looking after her and my apartment over two weeks during the holiday months. When I returned the apartment was just as I had left it, and Taylor was clearly happy with having a new friend and sitter while I was away. Would recommend booking Joytika!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for years for friends and family, and it’s something I truly love. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and temperaments, and I take the time to make each pup feel safe and understood. I’ve worked with dogs for many years, and honestly, my own dogs are my children. I know how hard it can be to leave them, so my goal is to give your pup a calm, loving, cozy “weekend away” where they feel completely at home. I work full-time during the week, but I’m fully available on weekends and holidays to give your pets lots of love, attention, and care. My home has a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends. Crates are available if your pup needs one, and they’re always welcome on the couch or bed. I’ve created a cozy, loving space where every dog can feel right at home.
“Kristina was amazing with our anxious pup! She stayed with her at our home and was so wonderful & communicative, always updating us with photos of our dog looking so happy & relaxed. Thank you Kristina!”

Seng is absolutely fantastic! We have used Seng several times for dog walking when needed and we recently had her dog sit in our home for 4 nights and she did a great job taking care of our dog. Seng was very communicative throughout the day, followed our dog’s schedule, and showed our dog lots of love. Additionally, she took really good care of our home — cleaning up after herself, throwing out the trash, and leaving the house in excellent condition. Our dog is always very excited to see Seng and we’ve been beyond happy working with her. I can’t recommend her enough!

We had a fantastic experience with Arillia! She took such great care of our dog Callie and kept us updated every day with pictures and details about her walks, treats, and how she was doing. She was incredibly responsive and communicative, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We also had an unexpected issue come up at the house (a termite swarm!), and she went above and beyond to help manage the situation even though it had nothing to do with her responsibilities. On top of all that, she left our house in excellent condition. We really appreciated how thoughtful, attentive, and reliable she was and would absolutely book with her again!
Dena did a great job watching Leon over a long weekend trip. She was responsive, shared detailed updates, and left the home as tidy as before arrival. I really appreciated her checking in about any changes to the routine and providing multiple photos during a relatively short stay.
João was a fantastic dog sitter for Ranger. He was great at the meet and great, specially for a dog like Ranger that is super social and can get easily over aroused. Super kind, professional and great at communicating with us about Ranger's needs. Attentive, thoughtful and loving.
Five stars! This is my first time finding a house-sitter. Annalie was very quick to respond and always kept me updated. MeiMei can sometimes be difficult, but Annalie was patient and handled her well. She sent a lot of photos and was very communicative. I would definitely rebook with her again!
We had such a great experience working with Xochi! She is incredibly sweet, professional, thoughtful, and highly responsive. We felt completely comfortable having her care for our Portuguese Water Dog and really appreciate how attentive and communicative she is. We’re so happy we found her and can’t wait to work with her again and already have several booked!
Michael was amazing! This was my first time booking with him, and I couldn’t have been happier. He was incredibly communicative and genuinely focused on making sure Nash was happy and well cared for. He took Nash to the park, played with him constantly, and gave him lots of attention. He also kept the house very clean, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely book Michael again!
I’m thrilled that Hannah stayed with and entertained my cat Cosmo for 4 days. She was a wonderful sitter to my previous cat and 2 dogs, and Cosmo took an instant liking to her at their meet-and-greet. She always keeps me updated with photos and videos, and leaves the home in wonderful condition. I very highly recommend her!

The average cost of House Sitting in Daly City is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $111 per night. 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.

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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Daly City. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
