Tingting was a great cat sitter and I'd highly recommend her! She did drop-ins for my 2 cats, and she was very communicative and sent many pictures during her visit. She fed them, played with them, gave them treats, and maintained the water fountain which covered all their needs. My cats seemed to like her!

As usual Shao is the best! She dropped by to spend time with ozzy while I worked a very long shift. She walked, fed, gave his medicine, comforted and spent time with him. Ozzy is my senior dog that requires very specific care and she always does the best job taking care of him just as I would do. Shao always updates me consistently with photos and videos of what they’re up to, Ozzy always looks genuinely happy and comfortable, which is so so important because he gets very bad anxiety. Whenever I get home after Shao dropped by he always looks very peaceful and rested. Thank you Shao! Highly recommend!

About: I have always been an animal lover from a very young age! I currently have 3 dogs , 1 mini poodle (female 11) , 1 dachshund (male 6) , and 1 chuweenie ( female 8) , I as well have a cat (female 3) that I rescued as a kitten! I currently work a part-time job at a dental office as a receptionist, my weekly schedule for work is Monday - Thursday from noon- 5:30pm which gives me the mornings and evening to look after your fur babies if and when needed! I have a nice sized yard and I live in a very quiet and pleasant neighborhood to walk your dog! Growing up my mom was a house keeper so from a very young age I was taught how to keep any space whether it was my home or another’s nicely organized and cared for! Respect will always been shown to you and your pets while you are away!

Jaron was amazing while my husband and I were away for a week. Jaron watched our two kitties and went out of the way to make sure that they were cared for during the crazy ice storm that came through! Jaron always sent many photos and great updates, so that I knew that the kitties were good. The whole situation could have been very stressful, but Jaron really did a great job taking care of them.

Sarah did drop in visits to provide my pup with sub cutaneous fluids each day I was out of town. I had already scheduled a sitter who was a great fit for us but wasn’t comfortable with giving my girl fluids. Anyway, Sarah to the rescue! She made me feel so comfortable that my senior pup with special needs was in good hands! I would definitely book her again for any service!

About: We've had dogs since I can remember and I love them more than humans. A dogs love is unconditional and I love seeing how happy they are exploring on walks and getting behind the ear and tummy scratches. I have a flexible work schedule and happy to take your pup on walks during the day! Keep us both healthier and happier throughout the day! I'll always watch them like my own (who try to eat random things sometimes) to make sure they don't get into anything unexpected to keep them in good health!

Sandra was an excellent sitter - she updated me in detail with every visit, made sure my kitty was equipped with food, water, and fresh litter, and always tried to socialize with her even when she was being a grump. She also was very flexible and extremely helpful when my schedule changed last minute - she truly saved my skin! I cannot recommend Sandra enough!

Jasmine was the most amazing pet sitter! She sent me so many videos of my cat who I missed terribly while I was gone, and she took care of her like her own. I will definitely be calling her if I need a cat-sitter again, and thank you for treating her so special and making sure she was happy and looked after.

I don’t normally leave reviews unless I feel very propelled by something that matters to me. I’ve got to say Elba is the most amazing dog sitter I have ever worked with, and I feel very lucky to have found her here. My dog is a little sensitive senior, and he absolutely loves Elba. I would have given her 10 out of 10 ⭐️ if I could. I could list so many important, great qualities about her, from her soft skills and “customer service” to her passion and love for my baby, which become clear in my dog’s behavior after spending time with Elba. She is intuitive, smart, ethical, kind, knowledgeable in her work, and has communicated with my dog in ways that really fascinated me multiple times. She is the definition going above and beyond! I can think of examples for every words I used to describe her. If you get lucky enough to book her services, you can be sure your baby will be in good, caring hands 😇

About: Hi friend, I'm Sophia, and my partner and I would love to walk and care for your dog! You can trust that your furry friend will be in compassionate and experienced hands with me. I've been caring for dogs and other pets since I was little, and I take pride in the trust and love that I've built with each animal. My experience spans walking, daycare, boarding, and more for both family and friends' dogs. I even fostered a sweet dog with anxiety for a year, ensuring they felt safe and loved. I've raised my dogs from young puppies through their senior years, and those who have crossed the bridge lived well into their late senior years, thanks to dedicated care. I have extensive experience with all ages and sizes of dogs, from house training energetic puppies to providing special care for incontinent seniors (ranging from 5 lbs to 125 lbs). Administering medications is also within my scope of care, ensuring your dog's health needs are met reliably. My friendly dog, a doodle, loves making new doggy friends and having playdates. I maintain a clean home with a fenced backyard because the well-being and safety of every dog I care for are my top priorities. You can trust me to provide a nurturing and secure environment for your beloved pet, always treating them with the utmost love and respect. I'm a full-time, pet-loving sitter you can trust completely. I am dedicated to providing exceptional care and will have plenty of time to play with and nurture your pups. I am available 24/7 for boarding, daycare, and walking, ensuring your dog receives the attention and love they deserve at all times. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in safe, caring hands with me. I have a fully fenced yard, providing a safe and secure environment for your furry pup. My friendly Golden Doodle will be a great companion, ensuring your dog has company and fun. You can trust me to take care of your pup 24/7, offering attentive and loving care whenever it's needed.

About: I'm a dog lover looking to take care of community pets to ensure that they're dogs are taken care of like how I was able to care for my own dog. I have owned my own pets, including a dog for over 16 years. I am a responsible person who enjoys the presence of animals and will ensure that your dog (or cat) is being taken care of with the utmost care. I can host your pet at my house or sit at your house, whichever is more comfortable for your pet. I am also available to drop in and take your pet out for a walk, play, and socialize so they don't get lonely. I do request that dog boarding requests be discussed with me 48 hours prior to drop off date so that I can make sure that I am available and can accommodate your pet and their needs. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

About: I've pet sat for family pets for a while - dogs, cats, and birds - and then just 2 years ago I started dog sitting for non-family members who I got recommended to (a total of 3 non-family member pets). Mostly my responsibilities were to walk (on and off leash), feed, play, and for some pups give medicine. Pretty basic stuff! I do also have a dog who we got as a puppy (he's about to be 5 in May 2026) so I have a little bit of experience there. The dogs I have taken care of have ranged in ages, I think the youngest (that was not my dog) was 7 years old and the oldest was 12 years old. No special skills or anything like that, but I won't pass up the opportunity to learn something new. I'm currently unemployed but have a full-time pre-apprenticeship program that starts May 11th, 2026 and ends in July 31st, 2026. Which will have me gone from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. Other than that, my schedule is open until then and after I finish. I assume that drop-ins will be most of what I can take on, or overnights if it's okay to be gone for that long during the day. But, as of March 2026-April 2026 I am pretty flexible. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to pet sit at my place since it's a full house. For every pet I've taken care of, I was in a house sitting situation, except for the most recent dog I've been walking who is okay to just be walked and fed. But, I totally understand the pets who need the company throughout the day/night. Each dog is super different and my goal is to adjust as best as I can to their needs!

About: Hello my name is Ana and I’ve been taking care of pets since 2020. When COVID hits I adopted my little dog Foxy, I immediately fall in love with her and we’ve been the best of friends since then (she is more like my daughter). I needed extra money around the pandemic so I started taking care of dogs, cats and rabbits. I also have experience with rodents and I have experience on injections and medication administration. I really consider animals as a part of my family and treat them as I will treat my little Foxy. I’m currently working full time, but I’m hybrid and I have a flexible schedule. I also work any day of the weekend at anytime, which give me a big flexibility to take care of pets. I have a fenced yard and a female dog! She is spayed and she is really sweet and loves to play. She is usually really kind with other dogs and get along easily. I really like to take dogs out 3-4 times a day for like around 30 minutes or do different activities like taking them to the dog park, beach or to a hiking trail.

She was very thorough and took good care of our cats!! Both of our cats are a handful but she managed to look after them with ease. She made sure to interact a lot with them during the short amount of time she had with them each day, and I appreciate that she asked us a lot of questions when she needed more clarification on something. We would definitely book with her again!

Jasmine (Jie) was a wonderful sitter for our cat. We booked 2 weeks of drop in visits while we were traveling and she went above and beyond. Our cat loved her and we could travel with a peace of mind since we knew she was taking good care of her. She is very attentive and also very responsive to messages. She would notice little details and changes in our cat and let us know immediately. We would love to keep working with Jasmine in the future!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - South San Francisco

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in South San Francisco on Rover is $34.41 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 5,786 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across South San Francisco. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South San Francisco. 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.

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.
