Lauren was caring and attentive and made this paranoid cat Mom feel at ease. They looked disappointed to see us and not Lauren upon our arrival home from our trip! A sweet confirmation that they were in great hands. Highly recommend Lauren!

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!

Kelly is an incredibly sweet person. Our dog absolutely loves her! He gets super excited when we mention her name. Kelly walked our dog for months and we never had any complaints. She was always reliable, punctual and prompt with her communication. Couldn’t recommend her enough.

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.

Anita did a great job with my two cats, sending updates every time, helping make sure they were taken care of and comfortable and even cleaning up when they made a little mess. She also arranged a visit to chat before she started to one see them. She clearly loves animals and would use her again to watch my cats.

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.

Cheyenne is a natural-born dog-lover. She grew up with parents who always had dogs, and who's mom was a professional dog trainer. She carried this love and passion along and truly connects with animals on another level. She would watch my pug for me and when he came home from visiting her, I always felt like he was a better pooch, well-mannered and disciplined to say the least :) Trustworthy and well qualified for the position!

About: I grew up taking care of my Russell Terrier before leaving for university. At the same time, I helped take care of my family’s two cats who both have special needs. One with diabetes and the second with a visual impairment. My family loves animals and we’ve had the opportunity to take care of hamsters, parakeets, turtles, a variety of fish, and even baby chicks and ducklings as soon as they've hatched from their egg! I'm currently studying part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your dog! I'm available for boarding on the weekends, and weekdays from 9am to 3pm. I live alone in a one bedroom apartment with plenty of space for our furry friends. I'm incredibly respectful when entering into people's place of residences. Careful to pay attention to the small details and make sure things are in their respective place as if I was never there to begin with :)

Jeremy has consistently been wonderful taking care of my cat, Mia! He is super responsive when I'm not around, sends me photos of her along the way, and is very detailed in understanding her and bonding with her. I'd highly recommend Jeremy to take care of anyone's pet.

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.
