“This was our first time using Rover and Katrina made it a great experience! We returned from our trip today and our cat seemed very happy and well cared for. Katrina provided photos and even cleaned our cat’s food and water dishes! Thanks Katrina!”
“Sofia was great. She asked good questions, followed instructions, and filled in some gaps that I didn't think to write down. The animals clearly loved her and barely seemed to notice that we'd been gone when we got back. Very trustworthy and kind to our pets.”
“Cheryll was so warm and caring. I had no worries knowing he would spend some time with my pup. She arrived as scheduled and even stayed a little longer than requested. We will definitely use Cheryll again!”
About: I grew up with animals such as goats, chickens, ducks, cats, dogs, and rabbits. I currently have two cats that I’m obsessed with. I have furbaby sat for multiple furbabies in one household which one of whom who had a heart condition that required medication distribution 2x a day. I also helped ease anxiety ridden fur babies by being present, cuddling, create a song and dance number if they let me and taking a ton of photos. Also have had requests to take of care other pet babies such fishes and Guinea pigs as well. I ensure that all furbabies basic needs are met but also their social-emotional wellbeing. Animals require lots of love as they can have a hard time being out of their element. I have unconditional love to provide while their parents can do what they need with peace, ease, and comfort knowing that their fur babies are safe and cared for in a lovingly environment. I am available for doggy/kitty daycare and boarding in my home from Monday-Saturday (fur babies can be picked up Saturday morning/afternoon). If you need a Sunday accommodations I am willing to work with you. I am available Monday-Saturday for walk. will do my best to be accommodating to the pets needs. I am home at the moment as I have recently lost employment. I have the time and love to provide for fur babies as I given already given my time and care for human children while I was employed with child welfare. *PLEASE NOTE: While rover does not require a meet n greets (although highly recommended by them), I DO REQUIRE a meet n greet. This is to ensure that all of our furbabies get along and are safe. Safety is my number one priority. I am willingly to work with your schedule to ensure the meet n greet happens, however after 2 failed attempts to meet n greet, I will have to respectfully decline further services. Thank you and looking forward to caring and cuddles with your furbabies. I live on the top floor of a studio. Condo. My windows are safeguard so no furbaby can escape or be harmed. If there’s a specific schedule that needs to be followed (i.e dietary needs, meds, etc) i will need it in writing what that schedule will look like. I usually will wash all animal dishes prior to meals and ensure there’s adequate clean water supply at all times. I will provide walks, playtime, cuddles and medication(if necessary). I have great communication skills and will provide updates and photos upon request. I am near two parks where the dogs can play and walk while feeling safe.
“Elena did such a great job taking care of our two dogs. One of our dogs is anxious around new people and Elena knew exactly how to work with her. I really appreciated her responsiveness and that she sent photos of the pups every visit. 😊”
“Sarah has been so wonderful!! She’s so patient and really lets my anxious dog set the pace. He started off very nervous and has warmed up to Sarah overtime. Her detailed summaries and photos are also so helpful and give me so much peace of mind. I will be booking with her again!”
About: Hi there! My name is Howard and I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner who is available for walks, doggy daycare and drop in visits for your fuzzy friend. My wife Linda and I have been a dog sitters for many of our friends over the years and have decided to start offering our services on Rover! Dog walking: I have many years of experience walking dogs of all shapes and sizes, ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Pyrenees. Please see our photos for some of the dogs that we have watched/walked over the years! Daycare and Boarding: We live in a single family home with a fenced in yard and would love to help out if you need someone to look after your dog! Your fur baby will spend their time lounging on our couch, sun bathing on the deck and exploring our backyard and neighborhood. We have a very friendly 5 year old male 25 pound Lab-Chihuahua mix of our own named Truman, so our dogs will have to meet at least once before any daycare bookings (not required for drop in visits or walks). Drop in visits: Happy to drop in and visit your pets during the day if you need someone to keep them company and to take them out for a walk! And last but not least: I also offer aquarium maintenance/drop in visits for your fishy friends! I have kept aquariums and all sorts of pet fish for decades and have even served on the Board of Directors for the San Francisco Aquarium Society. Please reach out if you are interested in learning more! My wife and I work remote jobs so one or both of us will be at home to keep your pet company and take them out for walks and potty breaks. Our home is fully dog proofed and ready to accommodate dogs under 40 pounds. We keep dogs leashed at all times when outside of our home unless we have a specific request from the owner to take the dog to an off-leash area.
“Jie provided excellent care for our 15-year-old medically fragile senior kitty, who has several health conditions that require daily medication. We booked her to visit our cat three times daily to give her food, meds, litter box scooping, and quality time (cuddles, pets, scritches) while we were out of the country. During these check-ins, she sent us lots of pics, videos, and detailed notes about our cat’s appetite, hydration levels, medication reactions, and litter box activity. When she noticed concerning symptoms (decreased appetite, peeing outside the litter box) she called me immediately to let me know and discuss our options. What impressed me most was her ability to give our cat her daily medication (oral pills) in a way that was quick and low-stress, which did not result in any hisses or bites. I can tell she truly loves cats and cared about our kitty’s well-being as much as we do. We felt reassured that our cat was in good hands with Jie, and we’d definitely book her again for future cat sitting.”
About: My name is Lorenzo and I own and have grown up around dogs my whole life. I’ve always been good with dogs ever since I was a kid and understand what dogs need and the responsibility of taking care of dogs. If you need a dog walker, dog sitter, someone to check in on your dog, or someone to stay with with your pup then I’m the one for the job. It’s my aim to love and adore your dog as much as you do. I absolutely love dogs and I am comfortable with dogs of all ages. I’m an active athlete and will love to take your dog on exciting adventures and have a great time. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pup soon. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. Even though I have a part-time job, I always make time for feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention to the pets I care for. I’m very organized, so I plan my schedule to make sure their needs come first. I also keep their space clean, make sure they have fresh water, and do weekly tasks. I’m flexible and happy to work with pet owners to create a schedule that works for both of us, making sure their pets get consistent, loving care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention I would give my own. I always begin by reviewing the client’s instructions carefully to ensure I fully understand the pet’s routine, dietary needs, medical requirements, and behavior patterns. Consistency is key, so I do my best to maintain the pet’s usual schedule—whether that involves specific feeding times, regular walks, play sessions, or quiet time. I take extra care to keep the home clean and secure while I'm there, including cleaning up after the pet, locking up when I leave, and making sure the pet has fresh water, a tidy living area, and any comforts they’re used to. I also pay attention to details like adjusting lights or curtains if needed, bringing in mail, or watering plants if requested—anything that helps maintain the normal routine and security of the home. Regular communication is also important to me. I provide updates, photos, or quick messages to reassure the owner and let them know how their pet is doing. I understand the trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your pet, Therefore, my top priorities are care, accountability, and reliability.
About: What started as a dog sitting gig in college, has become a joy and passion of mine to make pets with temporarily absent owners have the best time pawsible. • I'm comfortable working with many species and breeds, big or small. • I know peace of mind matters as much as great care, so I keep you in the loop about your pet at every step. • Pets can have emergencies, and I'm equipped with basic pet first aid to handle them if needed. • I'll send regular updates and resolve minor issues on the spot, only looping you in for anything urgent. • I follow your instructions precisely and on schedule, because the little things matter. • Walks, vet visits, and grooming appointments are handled exactly as planned, no matter your pet's routine. I have the flexibility to give your pet the attention they deserve. * Available Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM * Flexible within those hours for drop-ins, extended visits, or full-day care I am prepared for emergencies and always carry my kit, but if something out of my scope happens, I am prepared to go to the vet. If needed, I will contact you afterwards with a detailed report. * Boarding/Doggy Day care: I live in a 2-bedroom apartment with a big living room. Usually, pets will stay in a designated area in the living room where I can monitor them. They will also feel safe and cared for during their stay. * House Sitting: I will monitor your pet in the area you decide, whether they roam free around the house or if you need to keep them in a designated area of the house that they feel safe in.
About: My life has included dogs since before I could walk. I was able to care for dogs professionally for about 6 years as one of my part time jobs. I had to stop for awhile due to school and a full time job. I miss having dogs apart of my daily life & look forward to caring for your fur babies I work a 9-5 but take long lunch breaks that allow me to go check up on my fur friends. Have enough time in the morning to let them out. And very open evenings for walks & fun. Having the pet in their own home allows for comfortability while getting to know them. Having their every day products, foods and treats at hand makes an easy access to give.
About: My personal approach to dog care is grounded in genuine care for their well being. Working with my clients I provide prompt communication to ensure your dog is safe, happy, and healthy! Growing up my family had a beautiful 30lb dog that I helped care for from a puppy to old age. Being a part of this process has shown me how to support dogs in each stage of life from rambunctious puppies (structure, training and enrichment) to easing the aging process (special diet, new steps to climb onto the couch, shorter walks etc). Depending on the activity needs of your pup, I’m happy to provide daily walks or short runs (1-3 miles). I'm currently taking a gap year so I have plenty of time for your pups! I'm available weekdays and, with advance planning, can provide housesitting through weekends as well. I live in a single family home with three dogs. However, our family dogs like their space, and it is not available for dog boarding.
About: I have experience with cats and dogs as I have lived with both my entire life. I currently live with 3 cats and 1 Rottweiler. I am currently job-seeking and can accommodate time for animals at any point throughout the day. I am able to walk or drive to provide pet care. I am not able to board any animals in my current living arrangement as I live with 4 animals. I am able to walk or drive to provide pet care.
About: I have always enjoyed being around pets and have been taking care of dogs and cats, on a regular basis, for the last 4 years. I currently work for a big box retailer that provides daycare and overnight stays. I currently work part-time, so I am available to spend quality time with your pet while you are away. I’m available for drop-in visits or to take your dog out for walks throughout the day. I have experience handling dogs and cats of various ages, personalities, and needs. I’d love the opportunity to build a trusting and lasting relationship with your pet.
About: I've cared for my own 2 cats since 2018 when they were kittens. Now an expert in convincing and bribing cats to love me (while sometimes shoving meds down their throat). An excellent poop scooper! I work from home in Burlingame (Hanover Burlingame, if you are a neighbor, hi!). Weekdays are wide open for me to care for your pet child. Check calendar or with me for weekend availabilities :D For drop-in visits, I first take off my shoes (always!). I strive to keep your home, your child's food & litter setup as mess free as possible

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Bruno
Jasmine was so sweet with our elder cat and incredibly helpful! She happily took on the challenge of feeding our cat with the many supplements and medicine that he has (all mixed in with his food). It’s evident that she likes cats and knows how to interact with them. Communication was a breeze! We definitely recommend her and would work with her again!
Sandra was great checking on my cat while I was away on vacation. She made sure my kitty had food and cleaned her box. Even though my cat was skittish she let me know when she saw her. I also appreciate that she met with me beforehand to go over everything, it made me feel like she had it handled. Super professional. Thank you Sandra!
Brittany is amazing! She cared for my anxious senior dog on very last minute-short notice and was extra sweet with her, giving her all of the extra love and attention that small senior dogs require! Brittany is quite the animal whisperer, because both my cat and dog immediately warmed up to her and wanted all of her attention, which is not the norm, and after she left, my anxious little babe was as calm and peaceful as I have EVER seen her!! 5 stars! We will definitely keep Brittany as our top choice for dog visits!
Andrea is a wonderful cat sitter! She is gentle and patient which helped my cat feel at ease. He warmed up to her very early on, which was a good sign. She’s very responsible, which is reflected in her cards and communication. I really liked my experience with Andrea and look forward to booking with her again in the future!
Blessy was fantastic! I booked a sitter for 2 guinea pigs very last minute and she was available for both a first meeting and the dates I requested. 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!
Sarah has been so wonderful!! She’s so patient and really lets my anxious dog set the pace. He started off very nervous and has warmed up to Sarah overtime. Her detailed summaries and photos are also so helpful and give me so much peace of mind. I will be booking with her again!
Maria was absolutely wonderful! She dropped by to check on my cats, cleaned out their litter boxes, and spent plenty of time giving them love and pets. She was super friendly, followed all care instructions, and kept me updated. Fantastic communication and care. I would love to hire her again and highly recommend her!
Katrina is beyond amazing!!! She is so good to my fur babies and my chickens like her own babies. She updated me with pictures and staying longer beyond the required time to play with them. I feel so relieved and able to enjoy my time away without worry. I will definitely recommend her and will use her service again in the future. Thanks, Katrina!
I highly recommend Yujia! She’s been taking care of my dog for the past 4 weeks and has been great. She feeds her, takes her to the park, and always sends me pictures and updates. My dog seems very happy and comfortable with her. I’m really glad I found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in San Bruno is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $43 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 11,830 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across San Bruno. 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 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 San Bruno. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 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.
