“Julia was amazing! My pup seemed so relaxed and content with her. He wasn't even all that excited to see me.when I got home, which is huge for a pup with mild separation anxiety! Julia followed all my instructions, kept me updated throughout, and took greatbpictur”
“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!”
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.
“Seng did a wonderful job taking care of our senior dog and our home while we were on vacation. Our dog had some separation anxiety while we were away but Seng handled the situation professionally. Highly recommend Seng and will book for future travel.”
“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!”
“Silvia was great with our crazy dogs. She communicated well and we felt confident in the care she provided on such an important weekend for us. Excited to have her stay again.”
“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!”
“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”
“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.”
“Dwight was very helpful. He took good care of my dog, provided updates, was attentive to detail, and helped to move my car and water my plants. The house was very clean upon returning.”

“Diana did great dog sitting my two little 10lb, senior dogs for a weekend while I was away. They were properly fed and medicated and happy as can be when I got home. The house looked like no one had even stayed there. I will definitely be utilizing Diana for repeat services!”
“The kitties were very calm when we returned, and we assume this is because they had great company in Cameron. Cameron stayed overnight for the weekend and we'd do it again!”
“Daniel was a quick and clear communicator. Even with a setback (our door lock malfunctioning), Daniel was understanding and patient with us and caring for Cocoabean. Our house is left very tidy as well!”

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!
Gisselle was excellent with our cats including a sickly kitten that is a bit more involved.. (oral treatments, eye medication, clean up after eating). She was lovely and was always quick to respond when we needed a package taken in or wanted an update on the kitties
Exceptional care! Charlie looked after my cat for almost a week. She provided multiple update, check-in’s and photos. Charlie also gave insulin shots and monitored my cats glucose levels for her diabetes. Would highly recommend! She truly cares for cats and has a skill as an artist as I will treasure my watercolor painting she did of my cat while I was away! Five stars!
Kimberly is the best dog/house sitter ever. I was on vacation for 16 days, but Biscuit was having the time of her life. I was really worried since I had never left her with anyone outside of family. Kimberly put my mind at ease within the first 24 hours. Between the pictures and the little summaries of her days, I felt so relaxed and assured she was in safe hands. I'd rebook Kimberly 100 times over. Definitely will be using her again for my future travels. I cannot thank her enough for all she's done to care for my baby girl.
I feel so blessed to have met Delainya through Rover! She was so sweet and kind and did wonderful with Nexus! As soon as she came over I knew Nexus was in great hands. She was attentive, intuitive to Nexus's needs and so caring. I would absolutely recommend her and have her sit again.
Rachel was responsive, timely, and very easy to work with. It’s clear she is a wiz at animal care! This was my first time having an in home sitter and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The dogs loved her and even cuddled with her! I’m still so happy to have found a great sitter for them because they deserve the best!
What can I say except that Michaela is the absolute best! She is professional, through and a delight to work with. She handled my three big dogs like a pro, loving on them, caring for their needs and entertaining them with lots of time and attention. No doubt about it, she is my go to dog sitter. Thank you for your support and peace of mind.
Liang is one of the best cat sitters I have ever had! She took really good care of both of my cats, followed all of their feeding and litter box instructions perfectly, and gave them plenty of love and cuddles. My cats absolutely loved her! She also kept the house extremely clean. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring cat sitter!
João was a fantastic dog sitter for my pup Nora. He is incredibly kind, professional, very easy to communicate with and responsive. He was nothing other than attentive, thoughtful and loving with my dog and treated my place like he would his own while he watched her over an extended holiday weekend. I could not recommend him more highly.
Merci took excellent care of our girl, June. June is a pittie and she can be dog reactive, but Merci made her feel at home and we could tell from the updates that June relaxed and enjoyed herself. We had an issue with our travel, and Merci offered to stay extra with June to help us. Total peace of mind.
Malcom was great--timely, communicative and most importantly, our dog loved him. He stayed for a weekend in our home with Leo and sent us photos and took good care of our house. We will definitely ask Malcom to stay with Leo in the future. We are lucky to have found Malcom!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
