Lauren dropped in on my cat while I was out of town for a weekend. She was great, and truffle was well taken care of! I’d love to have Lauren come back again!

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!

Really please with all of Janki’s visits! She was really sweet and knew how to interact with my kitty. Mhysa can be a bit timid at first, but she got lots of playtime and attention :) Janki was also very responsive through messages as well. Mhysa somehow knocked out both of the cords to her feeder and water fountain. Even though Janki was scheduled to do her visit later in the day that day, she was able to come by within a short timeframe notice to plug them back in and do the visit earlier, which I really appreciated.

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

About: I have a remote role so I am often available to help out. I am also familiar with administering medicine as one of our cats unfortunately has asthma. Remote worker so it isn’t too tough to be available given my current schedule. At the moment, I am temporarily on Rover since I am here for the holidays. With the utmost care and attention to the instructions provided by the pet parent. I also make sure that my interaction isn’t transactional, and make every effort to be a “friend” to your pet!

We’ve been taking our dog, Fredward, to Michelle for a while now, and I can’t imagine a better place for him. From the moment we arrive, Fredward runs up the stairs with excitement, eager to spend time with Michelle and her dog, Cooper. It’s clear that he loves it there, which gives us peace of mind. Michelle is truly exceptional. Her warm and caring nature puts us at ease, knowing that Fredward is in good hands. She always sends cute photo updates and videos of Fredward and Cooper playing and having fun. She goes above and beyond to ensure he’s happy and comfortable, treating him as if he were her own. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter.

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!

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 :)

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.
