Veronica has watched our cat 3 times in less than 6 months. She’s super attentive to our instructions and very communicative. I would hesitate to go with anyone else for drop in visits. She also takes wonderful portraits of our Siggy and is extremely diligent about filling us in on all details whether prompted by the Rover app or otherwise. 100% lovely person and lovely sitter

Jaclyn and Aaron work as a team and they did a great job! They sent lots of pictures and stayed in touch for my entire trip. They even hung out, played with my cats, and gave me updates as my kitties warmed up to them. I appreciate that I got a two-for-one deal with a caring couple!

I cannot recommend Yixin highly enough. She put our all worries to rest, she even played a calming song for our anxious cat. Yixin is reliable and trustworthy, showing up for visits exactly on time and following all our instructions. She is great with cats. We received daily updates with pictures. She kept us informed throughout our trip responding promptly to any questions we had. Thank you

About: As a pet sitter, my approach is centered on personalized care tailored to each furry friend's specific needs. What sets me apart is my expertise in catering to diverse needs, be it training puppies with positive reinforcement techniques or offering specialized care for senior pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being. I prioritize understanding their unique personalities, providing companionship, administering medications, and maintaining a safe, stimulating environment. My commitment to going the extra mile in creating a loving, trustworthy, and skillful pet care experience truly sets me apart from other sitters. I'm currently a mater school student and I'm on the winter break right now, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups, I'm available for boarding on weekends I leave them in the apartment and I'll bring the puppy outside for the city walk and keep them safe. And my roommate is back home so I live by myself the puppy will have more space to play

Michelle is a thoughtful, reliable, and loving pet caregiver. When she takes care of my dog, I know that he'll be safe. She's taken him on walks and boarded him multiple times, and I highly recommend her for her communication and caring nature. She sends great pictures of him playing and resting. He always comes home happy and tired from all the fun he has with her. Michelle is knowledgeable about dog training, enrichment activities, and how to keep dogs safe around people and wildlife. It can be scary to leave your pet with a stranger, but with Michelle they'll be in great hands.

Cheyenne has been a dog lover since birth. She was raised with them and grew up having her mom work closely with a dog training company. She loved to help her mom with the dogs. She still loves them just as much. She is also very reliable and capable of taking them out in walks while being responsible while working with other people’s fur babies! She would be a great addition to your team!

Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of Troy. He is a super friendly 3 year old Pitbull and he loves to be active. I really appreciate Stephanie made sure he got his exercise because when he doesn't he can be a bit much. I know when he needs care I can count on Stephanie to keep him safe and happy!

Kyle is a wonderful pet sitter! She watches my cat Stevie when I’m out out of town and is always very attentive, caring, and loving. Stevie (who hates most people) loves Kyle. She does the tasks I ask of her (feeding, replacing the water, cleaning the litter boxes) in a diligent manner and always goes above and beyond to make sure they’re well taken care of. I’ve also been with Kyle while dog-sitting and all the above applies. She is very animal intelligent and loves being around them.

Maria has stayed with my dog (shiba inu) on multiple occasions (both short-term and long-term for up to 3 weeks). She's definitely the best dog sitter I had in 5 years of having my dog. She's taken very good care of my dog, to the same level as if I was taking care of him. My dog isn't social and he doesn't like other dogs - it was not a problem for Maria and she easily adjusted the routine according to this need. Overall, I am very happy to recommend Maria to anyone who is looking for a reliable dogsitter/dogminder/dogwalker. She genuinely loves dogs and will take a great care of your pup.

Pet parents in San Francisco love booking pet care with sitters on Rover. Booking in-home care for your pets is likely more affordable than you think—even in a city like San Francisco. Curious to learn more about how much it may cost to book a drop-in visit with a sitter on Rover? Check out our average pet sitting rates so you can get an idea before starting a conversation with a sitter near you in the San Francisco area.

Whether you’ll be gone for a day or a week, Rover has your back when it comes to giving your pets the care they need. Drop-in visits offer your pets the chance to stay home, in the environment that they like best. It frees you from burdening family or friends with the obligation to come by and give ‘em some love, and makes it so you never have to stress out your pets by taking them to a noisy kennel. In-home care is perfect for cats—your sitter will come to your home, scoop, feed, and play with your feline to keep those purrs coming, even when you’re away. Drop-in visits aren’t just for cats though, you can book a qualified sitter to watch all kinds of pets, from reptiles and fish to birds and bunnies—whatever kind of pet you have, there’s a sitter on Rover who can’t wait to care for them. You can of course book drop-in visits for your dog, too, especially if they’re the independent type. This will give you the peace of mind of knowing they got a potty break and some playtime while you’re away, without having to lock them in a cage at a kennel. San Francisco is a great city to find a drop-in sitter for your pet because it’s full of animal-friendly locales and and a community of pet sitters on Rover.

San Francisco is a booming city—the second most-densely populated in the U.S, in fact—but it isn’t just full of humans, it’s full of their beloved pets too. We love how pet-friendly this incredibly city by the bay is, and it’s the perfect place not only to own a pet, but to book a trusted sitter through Rover. The city is equally famous for miles of rolling hills as it is for classic cable cars to help visitors and natives alike navigate this fascinating city. San Franciscans enjoy miles of amazing off-leash dog parks and free-roaming beaches to let your canine companion blow off some steam while making new friends. No matter where you live in San Fran, from Parkside to Nob Hill, there’s a sitter listed on Rover right in your neighborhood. That’s because this city is packed full of animal lovers, so you’re bound to find a great match for you and your pet on pretty much every block.

Getting started on Rover is simple: type in your zip code, choose drop-in visits as your service, browse 100s of sitters near you, and begin a conversation with your pet’s perfect match.
