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. 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.
“Rachel took great care of our cat, Ellie. She was punctual, communicative, and a lovely person overall! Ellie seems to be a big fan of her as well, as the photos we received showed her enjoying cuddles and playing :) We will definitely reach out to her again next time we leave town.”
“Allison was fantastic with our cat Harriet! We wanted Harriet to be kept company while we went on a trip, and she warmed up to Allison right away. Allison was punctual each visit, and kept us up to date with everything. Highly recommended!”
“Lydia was very responsive and communicative - she really pulled through for me when I urgently needed some help between a move! HIGHLY recommend and is very thorough. I came back to some happy pets ❤️”
About: I’ve helped my neighbor when she was sick walk her dog. His name is buddy he’s in my profile picture! I’ve dog sat a few times when I was younger also helping my neighbors out and I’ve had a few small pets. Including a gold fish, hamster and a gecko. I love animals and I am a college student graduating soon needing to save. This is the perfect fit for me. I am currently working a part time job. However my availability is always free in the mornings and on certain days I am free the whole day. It’s summer time for me so I have a lot of free time. I will make sure the pets are fed, walked, and clean. They are cared for and loved while making sure they are super safe always.
“Sabina is awesome!!!! She was treating my puppy like one of her own and truly loved him for the time that she took cared of him. Very responsible and always thinks what’s the best for our pup!”
“K Zin followed our instructions to a tee. Our cat Xena is very shy and likes to hide, but K Zin took the time to find her and give her a treat and even send photos. We felt like Xena was in good hands, so we will be booking with K Zin for all of our future cat care needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size and breed of every kind since I was 20 years old. Family and friends have full confidence and trust on me for their care and safety. Currently I’m working a regular 9-5 and have plenty of time in the weekend. I would enjoy my weekends a lot more spending my time with fur babies. I enjoy playing around with both cats and dogs. Going on nice walks and sometimes on mini jogs around the parks or around the block.
“Again, Perry did an amazing job walking my 2.5 year old American Eskimo. Ocean has a handful of special monitoring needs due to a chronic GI condition and his playful interest in exploring, if not trying to consume, anything. Perry is extremely conscienscious and is very alert to Ocean's behaviors. Perry is also wonderful at making sure my dog is properly back in his kennel area when he drops off and leaves. Ocean is also over the top happy and excited the moment he realizes Perry is coming to walk and play with him. Its been really wonderful and a relief to know I have Perry onboard to walk and care for my boy.”
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.
“Shai did an amazing job sitting our disabled, elderly kitty! She followed our routine and Fiona loved her. Fiona doesn't love many people. Shai communicated well and send pics. We will definitely book with her again!”
About: Your pup will be enjoying a spacious home with the accompaniment of a hot dog! We are able to sit for other animals as well: hamsters, rabbits, reptiles, even fish. We have a fenced yard in the back as well as comfortable carpeting for your pup to scratch its ears. We welcome pets on weekends or when you go on vacation! Rest assured that your pet is in good hands! I need 5 more words... About my yard Backyard is made of concrete, I've specially built a doggy potty area for pups to use.
About: I am huge dog lover! I’ve volunteered at my local dog shelter, ILoveFamilyDog, for 3+ years. There I was responsible for walking small and large dogs, cleaning kennels, washing dog bowls/ laundry, and picking up dog droppings. I also have experience dog sitting / walking for family and friends during my free time. During this time I was able to provide hygiene care by grooming the dogs, ensure timely meals 2-3 times a day, and apply appropriate medication following veterinary instructions. I am currently in between jobs and would be able to do dog care or walk every weekday from 10 am - 5pm. My schedule is pretty flexible, so let me know what time and routine works best for you. I am available for house sitting and dog walking service. When dog boarding, I will provide the dog with appropriate meals and water throughout the day and take them out for regular walk (depending on their potty schedule). I will also make sure all toys, dishes and kennels are clean prior to my departure. Lastly making sure the dog has plenty of love and care throughout their stay! During walks, I will ensure your fluffy companion is leashed and not left outside unattended. Public cleanliness is also important, so I will clean up after any droppings or messes the dog makes during the walk. If you'd like care at your home, I will keep your place and pet clean before and after my visit and lock your place upon leaving.
About: Hi there! I’m Stephanie, a San Francisco native with a big heart for both furry and not-so-furry companions. I’d be thrilled to lend a helping hand and share some love with your pet! Animals have had a special place in my heart for as long as I can remember—no matter the species. From dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles, I’ve been lucky to share my life with all kinds of animals, and I believe each one deserves to be treated with the same love and care we give family. I'm a patient, compassionate person who finds real joy in helping animals feel safe, happy, and understood. Have a high-energy dog who loves to run? Perfect! I’m currently training for a marathon and would love a running companion. Just let me know! I’m typically available any time on weekends! On weekdays, I am available before 8am or after 4pm. My daily schedule has a bit of flexibility though, so please feel free to let me know if you need a specific time and I can try my best to accommodate! During drop-in visits, I focus on making your pet feel safe, seen, and cared for in the comfort of their own home. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding, giving medications, cleaning litter boxes, or just spending quality time together. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and needs, so I always take the time to learn what makes them feel most at ease—whether that’s playtime, gentle companionship, or simply respecting their space. I also make sure to give updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.
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 us to care for your dog since we 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. We 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! We also only host one pet at a time when they board with us so they get all our attention :) We’d love to play with your furbaby as we do have toys too, or just hangout with then if they’re the chill type. They can also hangout in our over-looking veranda to enjoy the view and nice weather.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Daly City
Blessy was great! Super communicative before, after and during the week she looked after my cat. She even did some light cleaning since the litter tends to track so I didn’t come home to cat litter everywhere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!
Mary has been a life saver! I was displaced due to a fire and she was able to help board my 3 cats very last minute and was so accommodating. Truly a life saver. She’s now my go to for cat care! She goes above and beyond. If I could leave more than 5 stars I would! Thank you Mary!!
Cameron has done drop in visits for my 2 cats twice now and it’s been very good. My cats both like her which is not always the case for them. She gives updates and always accommodates any requests I have. She has also brought in packages for me and cleans around the litter box and food bowls which is nice. I’d definitely recommend Cameron and book again
Beiqi took great care of Gouda and Cheshire while we were away. It was clear they were well looked after, and we really appreciated the regular photo updates—they gave us real peace of mind. We’d be happy to have Beiqi look after them again and would definitely recommend them to others.
David has watched our cats couple of times now - most recently this past Friday, July 10th—and we cannot recommend him highly enough. He takes incredible care of our cats, ensuring they are happy, comfortable, and well-attended to every single visit. Beyond being a fantastic pet sitter, David is exceptionally observant and proactive with home care. During a previous visit, he noticed a few fruit flies starting to appear in the kitchen and, on his own initiative, set up an apple cider vinegar trap. Because of his quick thinking, the issue was caught early and completely managed by the time we got home. It is rare to find a sitter who is equally dedicated to the well-being of your pets and the maintenance of your home. We always return to very happy cats and a perfectly kept house. If you are looking for someone responsible, proactive, and genuinely caring, hire David!
I had an excellent experience with Louise. She communicated promptly and effectively. She also noticed when my cats stopped eating one kind of food, and we made a plan by text to adjust their food. Overall, it was an excellent experience and her recommend her highly.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Daly City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.
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.
