“Perry was wonderful again with our dog, Roan, today! He sent tons of pictures throughout the day, got Roan out on several walks and clearly cares a ton about the happiness and comfort of the pups he is caring for. Can't wait to have Perry back again soon and would recommend him to anyone in need of care for their pups! He is terrific!”
About: I live with an active Siberian Husky, so I’m very familiar with dogs who need more than a short loop around the block. I’m comfortable with strong walkers, high-energy dogs, and dogs who benefit from structure and consistency. I also grew up with a Cocker Spaniel and Springer Spaniel so my experience truly spans the gamut. I build my days around dogs and walking. I’m out with my own dog every day and keep a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of room for weekday walks. I intentionally keep my service area close to home so I can be dependable, unhurried, and consistent with the dogs I care for. Recurring weekday walks are especially welcome. I treat every dog and home with the same care I’d want for my own. I follow your routines closely, double-check doors, gates, leashes and harnesses before heading out, and never leave a dog unattended outside. I take time to learn each dog’s temperament, triggers and walking habits, and I’m thoughtful about interactions with other dogs and people. In your home, I respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and keep communication clear, including photos and an update after every walk.
About: I've been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was 10 years old and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm also a Registered Veterinary Technician with over six years of experience in veterinary medicine. My background allows me to confidently care for senior pets, puppies and kittens, administer medications, recognize changes in a pet's health or behavior, and provide compassionate, low-stress care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and intentionally make time for in my daily routine. As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pets with the attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship they deserve. I do work 10 hour shifts on Saturdays and Sundays. Whether it's sticking to their normal routine, giving medications, or simply spending quality time with them, I'm committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. As a Registered Veterinary Technician, I'm trained to recognize changes in a pet's health or behavior and will keep you updated if I have any concerns. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it, while making sure your pets receive the same love and attention I would give my own.
“Leslie did a great job sitting Nash! By the pictures she sent you could tell he was having a great time at the park. Thanks for watching my baby over the holiday!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Seng was great! Super friendly, flexible and did a great job caring for my Mixie and following all instructions. Mixie seemed to love her instantly, which was a big win! Would definitely recommend!”
“Sonja did a great job! The pets were well cared for and she left the house in perfect shape. So nice to come home to a clean house with happy pets! She also gave us regular updates and photos so we knew everything was going well the whole time. We will definitely ask Sonja to help us out again!”
About: I have helped raised 5 dogs in the span of twenty five years. I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from age six months upwards to twelve. My current job has a sporadic schedule which affords me a lot of free time. I will only schedule boarding on days I know I will be free. I have a big, fenced yard with plenty of running space. I also have a room in the house if a private room is more to your pet’s liking.
“Silvia was amazing! Even though I was off grid backpacking, I knew Aries was in good hands. Receiving all the photo and video text updates when I reached signal brought me so much Joy. I would definitely rebook. Thank you!”
“Madison took great care of my two cats and dog. She was communicative and provided updates throughout the pet sitting. My dog takes some time to warm up to new people and Madison was so patient with her. I would for sure book her services 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!”
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: 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.
About: I’m a caring, patient, and responsible cat sitter who understands that cats need both love and respect for their individual personalities. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, fresh water, playtime, litter box cleaning, and keeping their environment clean and comfortable. I’m especially detail-oriented when it comes to litter box care and maintaining a clean space. I’m also comfortable giving medication when clear instructions are provided and can give shy or nervous cats the time and space they need to feel comfortable. What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for cats. I treat every cat as an individual and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their cat is happy and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can adjust my schedule to accommodate each cat’s feeding, medication, playtime, and litter box routine. I’m reliable and organized, and I make sure each visit receives my full attention rather than rushing through it. I’m also available on weekends and can provide consistent care for clients who are traveling or away from home. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and making pets feel comfortable in their own environment. When caring for a cat in a client’s home, I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, litter box care, and daily routines. I make sure doors and windows are secure, keep cats away from unsafe areas or household hazards, and double-check that everything is safe before leaving. I also keep the home clean and respect the client’s privacy and belongings. I understand that trust is very important when someone is caring for your pet and entering your home. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful, and I provide regular updates and photos so owners know their cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Daly City
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.
Sully is my first choice when I'm in need of some in depth care for my dog with separation anxiety. She has a natural way with animals, even my cat comes out to have a nap with her! Super communicative and sends many pictures. I couldn't be happier with her work. Highly recommend!
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!
Seng was great! She kept me constantly updated with Lychee and sent me many pictures that made me feel at ease. She was very considerate of my home during her house sitting and would notify if she was going to step out for a decent amount of time. I appreciate her full transparency and communication! Definitely will be booking again!
Raquel was incredible! 10/10 can recommend. She stayed at our apartment and left it in immaculate condition. She also sent a video walk through confirming the condition before she left. Our pets are somewhat high needs (highly social and Cornish rex + a highly medicated hound dog with lots of allergy issues that requires constant ear maintenance). She managed their needs well and communicated well to confirm expectations. Communication was easy, warm, and direct. We received really heart warming updates each day that let us know our animals were being loved and cared for as if they were her own. We plan to ask Raquel to assist us for future travel needs. I'm so grateful we got to connect and form this relationship. Thank you, Raquel!
Melody was great! Immediately focused all her attention to loving our 2 pups. They both have their individual needs and she saw to them both equally! She was attentive to our systems at home, kept our space neat and orderly after she was done, and ultimately created a great space for our 2 dogs and cat! Very grateful
Katrina did an amazing job with our pets!!! She took care of them like they were her own and provided plenty of information/pictures. She went above and beyond to help us out and make sure we came home to a clean home after a quick trip. Will definitely book again!!!
I appreciate Michaela taking my last minute booking after another sitter canceled. She was prompt and conscientious. She texted me for clarification when my instructions weren’t clear instead of just guessing. Received daily updates and arrived home to happy pets and a clean home. She even left some fresh flowers and dropped off a package at UPS for me.

FAQs for House Sitting - Daly City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Daly City on Rover is $67.78 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 8,042 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.
