“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!!”
“Darrius was amazing with my two pups. We had to travel last minute and he was quick to respond and schedule a meet & greet. He sent texts with updates along with pictures and videos. We are so glad we found Darrius and will absolutely use him in the future.”
“Super grateful for Cortney! She took awesome care of our two doggos while we were gone, and they were super happy and healthy when we came back. Cort sent lots of pictures and texts, and she was really great!”
“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!!!”
“Great care and communication! Stayed for 5 nights at my house with two little pups. She sent pics twice/day and quick to respond to any messages. 5 stars and would book again!”
About: I am Red Cross certified in Cat and Pet First Aid/CPR. I have two small pups of my own and previously had a large dog, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes. I do not work. Pet care is my only focus. I can devote all of my attention to your fur baby. I am widely available and usually available for most holidays. Running is one of my hobbies, so if you have a high energy pup, I can run with them. I’ve cared for neighbors’ and family members’ pets. Recently, I adopted a shelter dog who had a rough start in life, which has taught me the importance of patience, gentle handling, and letting timid dogs build trust at their own pace. I love being outside with my fur babies, watching them play and explore, and would enjoy giving your pup that same attention and care. Pet care is already part of my everyday routine with my two small dogs. I enjoy making time for their needs and spending time outdoors together. I am available all day and evening every day, in order to give your pet reliable, unrushed attention. I’ll follow your instructions closely and take time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and needs. With a timid pet, I use a calm, patient approach and allow them time to feel comfortable. During walks and visits, I’ll prioritize secure leashes, carefully check doors and gates, and watch for signs of stress or discomfort. I’ll respect your home and keep you updated with photos and messages.
“Jeanette is a dang rockstar! She did such a good job at house and pet sitting for us! We have a medium size dog that’s a rescue and needs lots of love and attention, and a somewhat feral cat, and Jeanette didn’t miss a beat with either of them! Sent lots of pictures, asked questions when needed, kept the house clean, and even washed the blankets she used! I highly recommend using Jeanette if you need someone to house and/or pet sit. She is a great fit for our needs. Thank you Jeanette!”
About: I keep close to the animals I’m sitting for, senior to young, I do whatever it takes to keep them comfortable and safe. I can sit outside of just dogs and cats, experienced with reptiles too I do online schooling and I have most of my time to spend watching and caring for your pets. I can watch on weekends and weekdays whenever you need it. I watch your pet 24/7, I know how to give CPR to dogs in case of an emergency. Let me know If there’s any medical conditions and / or things you’d like to be known before sitting.
“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!”
About: Hi! My name is Detra! I’ve already been booked twice on Rover, and both experiences have been 10/10! I’ve lived in Katy, Texas for 7 years and absolutely love the area. I had my first dog-sitting job about 4 years ago, and I quickly fell in love with it. I worked with one wonderful family and cared for their dogs while they traveled out of town each month. I loved spending time with their pups, playing with them, and making sure they were happy and well cared for. It became like a second home to me! ❤️ The family eventually moved out of town, so I’m looking for new opportunities to dog sit in the Katy area. I truly miss having pet sitting as a second job/hobby and would love the opportunity to care for your pups! I currently work in childcare Monday–Friday, so I’m very comfortable with responsibility, routines, and caring for others. If needed, I can stop by during my lunch break to feed your dogs and let them out for a potty break before returning to work. On weekends, I’m available to spend more time with your pups. If I need to step out, it won’t be for long, and I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love. 🐶💕 When I care for your pets, I’m happy to work with their individual routines and whatever they need to feel comfortable. My goal is to give your pets the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own! I am currently working in childcare so I work Monday through Friday but I can come on my lunch break feed the dogs let them out to potty before I go back to work( if needed) . On the weekends I can be with the dogs. If I step out it won’t be for long but will definitely be there and play and spend time with the pups. Whenever I go to my clients home I’m willing to work with them whatever they need I will most definitely do and work with my clients.
“Kyla is truly the best! She has been watching my dog since she was 3 and I never have to worry about how she’s doing when I’m gone. Kyla really goes out of her way to make her feel comfortable and happy while i am gone. 10/10 high recommend!”

About: I have pet sit since 2019, I love pets and the emotional support they provide. I help with potty breaks, feeding and getting the pets settled for their night time routine.

“This was our first time to have Tamanda over to pet/house sit for us and she did an amazing job. She took care of all the things I asked her to do and was very up front with me when she had to run errands. When we returned home, everything was just as I left it and of course the most important thing is that she took excellent care of my babies as I could tell when I got home. She put her heart into it!! Thanks again Tamanda. You Rock!!”

“Monika house-sat for our Husky, Pitbull and our cat for 17 nights while we were overseas, and she was outstanding. Daily photo updates without us asking, consistent cleaning and feeding schedules, and all animals were calm and healthy when we got home — which says everything after two-plus weeks. Zero worries the entire trip, and for an international trip that peace of mind is worth more than the booking fee. We'll rebook her without hesitation.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Foster is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Foster
Cortney was amazing and our dog loved spending time with her. She was communicative and efficient. We were comfortable knowing he was well cared for and we could always reach out to her. We loved having her care for our dog - it was a pleasure to come back to a happy relaxed dog.
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!

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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
