“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Ice received. From the moment I went on my trip, it was clear he was in great hands. The sitter kept his routine, gave him tons of attention, and made sure he felt comfortable and safe the entire time. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to Ice relaxed, happy, and clearly well‑loved. Truly an excellent experience — highly recommend!”

“Gina is so great!! I’ve had her do several drop-ins for my boys and even house sitting over the weekend, and she has such great communication every time. She’s so loving with my babies that are a little high maintenance. So thankful to have her!!”
About: I have been fascinated with canines since childhood! 🐾 To get down to specifics, wolves are my passion and through that passion I gained a love and respect for man’s best friend. I have always been the “dog encyclopedia” for my family and friends, and am always quick to offer advice and assistance when needed. I have been a pet caregiver and dog sitter for over a decade. I love to built strong relationships with my clients and their pets, who I treat like my own! I’m familiar with potty training, socialization, positive reinforcement training, and medication management for geriatric dogs. 🐾 From puppies to well-loved seniors, they all hold a special place in my heart!! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently a student and part-time dog sitter for two families that I have known for years, so my schedule is very flexible! In your home, I will do my best to maintain your typical schedule and routine with your dogs to ensure their comfort while you’re away! I do yard checks to maintain safety, discuss your dogs boundaries, and prefer to have meet ups with you and your dog(s) before the dates of my services (:
“Absolutely sweetheart!! I trusted her with my two polar opposite dogs and she did absolutely amazing!! Stayed with them all day so they didn’t have to be in a cage all day. She was very responsive and send updates throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend and rebook again!!”
“Leah did great with our babies! 4 cats and 1 dog is a large ask, so we were very happy to receive updates that everyone was doing well. Leah had great communication, did great with following feeding schedules and provided timely check ins. Will definitely be booking with Leah in the future!”
“Darrius did a great job with our pups. One is very prickly and needs medicine. He did a great job of making sure she took her medication which is our main concern. He also let our bigger dog take his time outside even when the weather wasn't great. We will definitely use him again.”
About: Hi! I'm a dedicated pet lover with 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and senior pets. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to provide thoughtful, individualized care for each pet I meet. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have experience with pets of all ages, including senior dogs who may require extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I offer a flexible schedule and am committed to maintaining your pet's routine as closely as possible. From playtime and exercise to medication administration and quiet companionship, I provide mindful, dependable care tailored to your pet's needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own.

I am a recent college graduate that is figuring out next steps, so I have a flexible schedule currently to meet your needs. Overnight care or frequent stops during the day are no problem. While petsitting or pet-walking, I follow the lead of the pet owner. Pets are children and deserve to be treated how their owners desire. Also, I want to limit change to their environment as much as possible to create a stress-free and safe environment.
“I can’t say enough good things about Belen!She was incredibly patient and understanding with my dogs, who can be a little nervous at first. It was clear from the start that she truly cared and took the time to make them feel comfortable. I appreciated the updates and the calm, reassuring presence she brought. It’s such a relief knowing my dogs were in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend!”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful! Before our appointment, she took the time to meet Mona, get familiar with our area, and understand all of her needs. On the day of the appointment, she was punctual, and kept me updated throughout, which I really appreciate it. Most importantly, Mona was so happy to spend time with her! I highly recommend Sydney and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Sydney!!!”
“Sherine is always generous about helping us with the pets and house. She is kind and cheerful and sends us notes and photos at least once a day. She is a delight to work with Cynthia”
“Jasmine took great care of our 3 pets over a holiday weekend and we will definitely book again! She shared plenty of pictures and updates that provided peace of mind while we were away. Nothing but good things to say about her!”
“Gonzalo, Juliana’s brother and Judy’s son, house sat our girls for a 2.5wk period. We were extremely nervous at first as it was the first time ever that we left the girls at home, let alone for such a long period of time, but we couldn’t have asked for a better match than Gonzalo. He cared for the girls as if they were his own and they were super happy and well cared for. We will definitely book Gonzalo again for all future trips!! Thank you!!”

“Lanette took wonderful care of my two pups! She was very accommodating- One of our dogs is very protective of me and doesn't get along with new people for a while, but Lanette did come over a few times before the stay to help get him more comfortable with her. During the stay our protective little pup came out of his shell, fell in love, and wouldn't leave her alone! She was very patient with him and that was exactly what he needed! We got lots of pictures and videos, which was very comforting for my boyfriend and I. We highly recommend Lanette!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Foster
I was beyond impressed. She took amazing care of my two dogs. They both loved her so much that it showed in the pictures she sent of their smiling faces. My senior dog (who needs meds and extra care) got all the care he needed and was almost trying to leave with her. My Aussie got all the exercise and play that he’s been wanting. She gave us updates and asked questions to make sure the dogs got everything they needed and more. She went above and beyond not only with our dogs, but also with taking care of our home. I don’t think I’ll ever want another pet sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Foster
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Foster on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,838 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Foster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Foster walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Foster maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Foster choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
