“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!!”
“Micah is excellent! This was the first time ever I had such service booked. Micah did an amazing job with my active dog who is still in the puppy stage and can be a bit much :D Micah is very respectful, and I have 100% confidence I’ll be returning”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by cats and dogs, and I’ve had two to four dogs in my home at a time since I was about five years old. Labs have always had an especially big place in my life, and I’ve had my Lab/Pit Bull mix since 2017. I now also share my home with a Goldendoodle! Growing up with multiple animals taught me how different every dog can be. I’m comfortable with dogs of different breeds, sizes, energy levels, personalities, and ages. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or would rather have some extra snuggles and companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Most importantly, I know how much our animals mean to us. I’ll care for yours with the same patience, attention, and love I expect for my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a natural part of my day. I’m already accustomed to planning my days around animals, from feeding and caring for dogs to spending time at the barn with horses. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so walks, playtime, potty breaks, and extra one-on-one attention fit easily into my routine. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously. I pay close attention to each pet’s normal routine, personality, body language, feeding schedule, medications or special instructions, and any boundaries you have in place. I believe consistency helps animals feel safe, so I’ll follow your normal routine as closely as possible. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic, playful dogs to animals who need a little more patience and time to warm up. My goal is for you to feel confident while you’re away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, cared for, and getting plenty of attention.
“Leah took wonderful care of our dog, Nutmeg, while we were away for 10 days. She gave us complete peace of mind by providing daily updates with photos, which made it so reassuring to see how well Nutmeg was doing. Leah carefully followed all of the instructions we left and treated both Nutmeg and our home with great care and respect. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Nutmeg’s well-being, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house that was just as we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would absolutely book Leah again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to care for their pets.”
“Michaela was amazing! She took such good care of our fur babies. She communicated very well and sent many updates. The house was even cleaner than when I left it. I would recommend Michaela to any friend.”
“Ryan did a great job taking care of my cat and dog. We have never used a pet sitter before and were very pleased with the care that my animals got. We’ll definitely use the service again!”
“Trusted Karina with our dogs! Missed them tremendously but assured they were in good hands. Appreciated the pictures during our trip, that was a plus!! Will definitely use her again!!”
“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!!!”
“jasmine was exactly who i needed for my sweethearts. she listened and took the time to understand each and they both enjoyed her attention and time very much. i'm super happy knowing they were safe, happy, and enjoyed their time with someone i could trust. for my next trips, definitely rebooking! she followed the schedule, asked questions; and quickly picked up their personalities.”
About: I have been looking after dogs and cats for more than fifteen years and love all animals! My church family and neighbors often ask me to housesit for them because I am reliable and go above and beyond for their pets. I have extensive experience with all different dog and cat breeds and sizes, both old and young. I have experience with animals with special needs, like diabetes or anxiety medication. I keep your pets in their routine to minimize any distress and keep you updated about what we are up to. I’m a writer who works remotely. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule and can keep your pet’s usual routine going while you’re away. Whether that’s walks, overnights, or hanging out with them during the day, I here to make your life easier knowing your pets are safe and looked after. I always follow pet parents’ instructions exactly when it comes to a pet’s routine and safety needs, as well as making sure your home remains secure and your pet has a great time.
“Monic is SO amazing and so down to earth! 💜🐶💜🐱She house sat for me and prior to that spoke with me and got to know my pets to figure out a schedule that provided the love and care closest to my furbabies normal every day routine! I was so happy every step of the way and felt very reassured that I was leaving my animals and home in the best hands. It warmed my heart so much to hear how much she enjoyed the company of my furbabies. I would 1000% recommend her if you ever need someone to watch your pets!”
About: I have 2 plus years of working at an animal rescue and volunteering at rescues most of my life. Dogs and cats of all ages. My pets mean everything to me! I have had over 2 pets my entire life ranging from cats and dogs to even guinea pigs. Throughout my daily life I am constantly taking care of not just my family’s pets but also my elderly neighbors dog as well. I love my pets and would do whatever it takes to make sure they are loved and safe, and I will do the same for yours. I work early in the morning and have two shifts throughout the morning from 6-9:30 and 2-5. Before I leave for work I make sure all my dogs have gone to the bathroom and have what they need before I head to my first shift. Then in between my shifts I will play with my dogs and make sure they are well taken care of before I go back to work. After my shifts are done for the day I get home feed my pups and relax with them the rest of the day, besides the occasional walk.
“Harriet was great and took photos of my sweet pup while watching her. She practiced “touch” training which I’ve been working on and made sure she got lots of cuddles & potty breaks. 🐶”
“Amazing! Jess took care of our three dogs, a 13Y F/ 4Y M/ 7Y M, while we were away for a weekend trip. They range in personality and in needs and she was able to take care of them all well. We hope she’s free the next time we plan a trip given we’d definitely rebook her for overnight stays.”
“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!”
“Natalie is AMAZING!! She did a meet and greet with us and it was clear from the start how much she loved animals. Aside from instructions, she got on the floor and engaged with our cats. While on our trip, she sent us pictures, videos and updates for all three cats. Eventually, even our shy cat came out and began hanging out in the common area; she made sure to check on him everytime she came over. She was amazing with communicating when she was on her way and heading out, too. While we were gone, she even cleaned up litter from the floor and tidied uo our place. She is phenomenal, we really appreciate Natalie so much!”
“Jasmin has watched our dogs before and she always does such a great job. One of our dogs is on a raw diet with probiotics galore and she does great with all the instructions. Such a lifesaver to have her stay in our house as our senior dog has never stayed anywhere else. We are blessed to have found her as our go-to gal! She gets our mail and keeps our plants alive which is just an added bonus! Thank you!”

Judy’s family did an amazing job taking care of my doggos. They went above and beyond. They did house visits at the time we agreed and they would not only feed and give our dogs water but made sure that their bowls were always clean. When taking them out to potty they even picked up after the dogs potty. They were such amazing dog sitters and I would be so happy to have them dog sit my dogs again. Thanks for everything!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Foster on Rover is $41.63 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,855 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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
