“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!”
“Tara was incredibly helpful and friendly dog sitter for our big & anxious dog, Maddie! She was very on top of communication throughout the process, and went above and beyond in helping with cleanup, keeping a close eye on her and asking questions about anything that worried her. She has very flexible hours and clearly doted on our pup. Would happily book her again!”
“Julia was amazing! She cared for our new puppy so well and left us feeling so secure in his care! She was thorough and provided lots of updates. We will definitely be using her again!”
“K Zin is simply amazing! She was communicative, attentive, on time and she genuinely cared about our cat. We looked forward to reading the Rover cards and looking at the pictures she took every day. Will definitely book again!”
“An excellent, trustworthy and go the extra mile pet sitter. Made sure my cats were happy, had some play time and most importantly, fed and litter kept clean. Would definitely recommend!!”
About: I have lived with dogs, cats, birds, and other small animals my entire life (30+ years) and have had my own dog and cat for the last 10 years. Through fostering, volunteering, and training, I have extensive experience raising puppies, caring for seniors, administering daily medication, and training and managing complex behavior challenges (specifically, dog reactivity). I have a particular interest in positive reinforcement training and behavior, including working with leash reactivity, fear, overstimulation, and impulse control. I believe every interaction with a dog is an opportunity to build confidence, strengthen communication, and make their day a little better. When caring for your dog or cat, I’ll tailor our time together to your and their preferences. Whether that’s physical activity, a slow sniffy walk, fetch, enrichment/puzzle feeders/toys, or just time together, I will make it happen. I want their routine to feel as close to yours as possible! I’m also very comfortable caring for cats and regularly provide drop-in visits for feline friends. I understand that cats have unique personalities and routines, so I’m happy to meet them where they are whether that’s interactive playtime or quietly earning their trust while making sure their needs are met. As a pet parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to hand someone your keys and the care of a beloved family member. I treat every home with respect, communicate proactively, send detailed updates with plenty of photos, and pay close attention to the little details that help your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away. I work from home full time so I have the flexibility to spend quality time with your pet. I personally am extremely active so fully welcome opportunities to get out for walks, hikes, or drop in visits. I have lived with dogs mg entire life and recognize the importance of ensuring a safe, comfortable home. I’m attentive to details like ensuring secure door closures, and in-home preferences like keeping pets off the couch or ensuring nothing unsafe is within reach. Just tell me what’s important to keep an eye on.
“Luke has become my go-to dog walker/sitter on Rover. He has always responded quickly, carefully follows instructions to take care of my high-needs dog, and shows great care and patience for my pet. I definitely recommend reaching out to Luke for support. He's been amazing for my sweet pup.”
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.
“We are so lucky to have found Eric for our two cats! After a few recent, tough experiences with sitters staying in our home, we came to Rover to try drop in care instead, and we’re so glad we did! Eric was very communicative, which was important to us not having someone there around the clock like we’re used to. We also appreciated his flexibility, as we were road tripping and not 100% set on our schedule. He also stepped in to manage some messes the cats made and went above and beyond making sure our home was taken care of. Most importantly, I felt like Eric knew what both of our cats needed (one love+play and the other a little space!) and both were happy and healthy when we got home. We’re definitely going to be using Eric again for future travel and highly recommend for anyone considering.”
“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”
“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!”
“Simonee did 3 drop in visits for our dogs and did an awesome job. My dog even had an accident in his crate and she cleaned it all up without complaining! Super awesome at communicating and great with our pups! Will definitely use her again!”
“Nicole is friendly and responsive, and we knew our cats were in good hands with her. We came home to happy, well-fed kitties. And the pics she sent helped soothe any separation nerves! Will definitely book again, thanks so much!”
About: Hello! I’ve been walking and sitting animals for more than a decade, and love making new furry friends. I’ve cared for puppies and older dogs, high-energy and anxious animals. I have a wily, wonderful pug-mix at home who loves a chance to socialize, too. I currently work from home, for myself, so I have room to take on clients in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. Weekends and weekdays both work! I approach all new animals with sensitivity and respect for their space and needs. I love getting to know a dog and learning their personality traits, favorite routes, and funny quirks. This helps me get to know what they need, when.
“Michelle was great with a drop in visit for my dog, who can be nervous around new folks. She was punctual and communicative and gave Martini lots of snuggles. Would recommend and will def book again!!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Daly City is $30

Julianne was great - very quick and easy to communicate with, proactive in getting an in-person meet and orientation with our dog before we left for our trip. She was very engaged and friendly with Maddie and kept us in the loop, leaving us with nothing to worry about.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Daly City on Rover is $32.1 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 11,256 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Daly City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Daly City. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
