Drop-In Visits in San Diego

Your pet stays home, a sitter drops in for the essentials

Drop-in visits are the fastest-growing pet sitting service in the US, and for good reason: they keep your pet in their own home while a verified sitter handles the essentials, feeding, water, litter, walks, medication, play. For San Diego households, that means your cat keeps their own routine, your dog stays in their own neighborhood, and your multi-pet home keeps its own rhythm, with photo updates after every visit and no commute, kennel, or boarding facility involved.

Petme connects San Diego pet owners with verified, background-checked drop-in sitters across La Jolla, Pacific Beach, North Park, Hillcrest, and every other major neighborhood. Owners pay 0% commission, the per-visit rate you agree with your sitter is the full price. Cashback compounds with every completed visit. And every booking automatically includes up to $22,000 through the Protection Plan for emergency care, useful coverage in any major US metro.
