“Rachel is a fantastic and top notch vet tech. Very communicative, detailed reports, and gave me valuable insights and feedback on Wendel's health while I was away. I definitely plan to work with her again. It was a huge blessing knowing Rachel was looking out for Wendel while we were away. I am incredibly thankful to have found her. Rachel has a huge heart and I knew felt so much better knowing she was looking after our senior dog while we were away. (See my 1st review on how wonderful she is for more information.)”

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.

“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.”

About: My family had cockapoo named Dobby growing up, and I’ve been dogsitting since moving away from home to get my dog fix! I’m looking to find more four legged friends in the area :) I was a local dogsitter in Austin for two years with regular families before moving to Denver. For my previous dog sitting positions, I’ll typically live and stay the night at the family’s home for weekends while they’re gone. I take their dog on walks and adventures to local hiking areas. At the end of the day the dog and I cuddle on the couch together! I’ll treat your dog like they’re a part of my family! I have a wide variety of experience with dogs of many different ages and breeds: puppies to senior dogs!

About: I have been a caregiver for animals for 16 years, I love animals as they bring joy to my family and myself. I enjoy giving walking, feeding, playing and giving them bubble baths. Treats are also a must!! I’m currently home full time, so your pet will have all the attention it needs and deserves. My day starts early so I can take all of the dogs on their morning walk. I have a fully fenced yard and 2 fury friends for your pet to play with safely. All animals sleep indoors and if crating is required that can be provided as well. I will be the sole caregiver giver of all pets.

About: Growing up, dogs were always a central part of my life, whether caring for my own pets or stepping in to help friends and family. I’ve always been the go-to person to ensure pets are fed, exercised, entertained, and loved. My experience covers every stage of a dog’s life: Newborns & Puppies: Skilled in maintaining strict feeding routines, potty schedules, and providing the patient, structured care young pups need to thrive. Senior Care: Compassionate and attentive to older dogs who need extra gentle care, mobility assistance, or a slower, comforting pace. Active Adults: Dependable for high-energy walks, playtime, and keeping your dog happy and engaged while you're away. Whether your dog needs structured puppy care, a reliable daily walk, or a calm companion in their golden years, I’ll give them the personalized attention and love they deserve! Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly schedule! I work part-time as a Youth Program Leader at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Peninsula, which leaves my mornings completely open until around 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM. This gives me plenty of dedicated, uninterrupted time every morning for dog walks, feeding routines, and drop-in visits. Additionally, my weekends are fully open, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care and longer visits when owners need extra help Safety and trust are always my top priorities. At my own home, I have a fully fenced, spacious backyard where dogs can play safely, along with family members present to offer extra supervision and attention throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat their space and their pets with the utmost respect. My background in youth instruction has taught me how to maintain a vigilant, hazard-free environment at all times. I strictly follow all house rules, feeding routines, and specific leash or handling instructions provided by the owner to ensure their pet feels secure, comfortable, and safe while they're away.

“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: Hello! I’m Brittany, a lifelong animal lover and current dog mom to a 52-lb. pup of my own. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry friend as they’re part of your family! 🐾 I have experience caring for dogs (and cats!) of all different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities and am comfortable with everything from walks and playtime to feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. As a dog owner myself, I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and preferences, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to help them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. 🙂 I have experience with dogs of all sizes from small terriers to medium-size doodles to large labs and shepherds. I love puppies and have experience on how to raise them to be good doggy citizens. I also have experience with reactive dogs and understand the training and scenarios to place them in or avoid to make sure they are successful. I adore them all! ❤️ Whether your pet needs a good walk, some company while you’re out, or a comfortable place to spend the day, I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to accommodate weekday walks, drop-ins, and day care as well as some weekend care. I’m dependable, communicative (I take way too many pictures!), and will always keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. For daycare, I live in a standalone home in San Francisco with a private, spacious, fenced-in backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to play, explore, and relax. My dog can be the perfect playmate or I can keep them hanging solo if preferred. For drop-ins/walks, I’ll make sure to follow your specific instructions to ensure a safe and happy environment.

About: I’m a college student and a huge animal lover, and I’m actually hoping to get a dog of my own sometime in the future! I’ve always loved being around dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I love being outside, going on walks, and especially going to the beach, so having a dog along makes it even better. I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, whether your dog loves long walks and adventures or would rather just hang out and get some attention. I’m patient, attentive, and will treat every pet I care for like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently a college student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting around my classes, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on the day. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your schedule and, most importantly, your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. When I’m caring for a pet in their own home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and respect both your space and your pet’s normal routine. I’ll make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other surroundings are secure and pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and needs. I’m also more than happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and having a good time!

About: With over 6 years of experience pet sitting, I am confident handling high energy dogs, shy cats, and senior pets needing extra patience. I follow feeding routines, administer medication when required, and send regular photo updates so you always have peace of mind while away. I currently have open availability throughout the week; my schedule is pretty flexible. (I'm taking online classes) I can do early-morning and midday check-ins for scheduled feedings, and I can easily fit drop-ins into my day. Feel free to message me with any questions! I follow the pet’s exact routine to keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. For dogs, visits include feeding, fresh water, yard time, walks, and fun games. For cats, I focus on feeding, scooping the litter box, fresh water, interactive play, and gentle affection.

About: I absolutely adore animals. From the age of 6 I thought I wanted to be a vet. I even went down that path in college. Until I realized I wanted to be a nurse instead. I have worked as an ER nurse for the last 10 years. I have experience giving meds to my own animals ( a 9 year old Schnoodle and a 4 year old cat). I’ve also gotten into senior care for my dog that now currently wears diapers. Brings a whole new meaning when you call your pets your babies:) I’m friendly, communicative, flexible and respectful. If you think I’m a good fit, please reach out so we can discuss your needs:) I currently have some extra free time and have a pretty open schedule. If you have needs outside my schedule please let me know and I will see if I can make it work! I have a cat and dog of my own and have had countless pets over the years. I don’t have kids so they are truly my pride and joy. I will treat your pets and gain their trust just as I would my own animals!

About: Because I have owned two dogs of my own for as long as I can remember, I have plenty experience feeding, playing, and walking them. I am an animal lover and will treat your pets with love and respect! With me, your pet's safety and feelings come first. I am currently on summer break, so I have a pretty open and flexible schedule! I am mostly free on weekdays, but am able to do weekends as well. I am a very playful and affectionate person when it comes to animals! This means I have a lot of patience as well. I will be able to get the job done while making sure your pets stay comfortable in their own homes.

About: I have always loved animals above everything else and was lucky enough to experience having pets from age 6. I started out by taking care of rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, cats, dogs, etc. I've read many books, researched, and learned from the most experienced about how to train and care for different types of animals, especially dogs and cats. I have around 11 years of experience with cats and dogs, from the moment they were born to their senior years. Currently, I have two dogs, A 6-year-old husky named Leo (the one in my profile picture) and a 9-year-old labrador mix named Eva. I have trained and cared for both of them fully myself. I have also done volunteer work in shelters and have taken care of many other pets for my friends and family. I currently have a flexible part-time job that gives me a lot of free time to spend doing what I love most, being with animals! First, I always ask my clients if they have specific instructions or routines that they would like me to follow, whether it's in my house or theirs. I make sure that I know and do exactly as the clients ask to make sure the experience is easy and comfortable, for both the client and their lovely pet. I have two dogs of my own to welcome and accompany their pet in my house, I am also able to have them in separate spaces if the client prefers. I have many toys and treats in my house to keep them occupied and happy, and most importantly my unwavering love and attention! I also have a fenced yard in which they can run and play freely and there is also a couch specially arranged for them to rest and enjoy.

This is the second time Hillary took care of our cats and she did a great job once again! Right before our trip, one of our cats needed to take medicine and we couldn’t finish the regimen before leaving. Hillary was able to give our cat the pills when she visited which was a huge boon.

Aaron communicates in a timely manner, leaves thorough check-in updates through photos, and demonstrates a high-degree of care and responsibility. Most importantly, he is patient and respects cats’ space, not forcing an interaction while also taking the time to try and make my very shy cat feel comfortable. Aaron gets the job done, taking care of his food and litter area, never cutting corners on cleanliness. I also appreciate his flexibility when I had to make a last minute service change. Aaron’s level of care gives me 100% peace of mind when I’m away from my home and cat.

She was incredibly responsive and had great communication. I even made a mistake while booking and she pointed it out to me and clarified! She was incredibly sweet and attentive, sending me updates and keeping the piggies happy. She also cleaned more than I asked her to! Would definitely rebook with her. Thanks Blessy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Daly City on Rover is $32 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $49 per visit. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 11,354 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Daly City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , 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
  • 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
