“Lily is a very responsible and skilled dog sitter. She made 3 home visits to take care of our 2 quite active dogs. She did a great job and communicated with us frequently. The dogs clearly liked her, and she liked the dogs. A win win.”

About: My entire life, my home has been described as the neighborhood’s “local zoo.” From livestock to pocket pets, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over the years. I’ve volunteered working hands-on with animals at the zoo, and currently care for two dogs, one cat, some small animals, and fish I’ve been pet sitting for over five years and have experience with many dog breeds, ages, and personalities. I focus on building trust, supporting positive behavior, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable in my care. I believe pets deserve to enjoy being animals—without unnecessary stress—while still feeling understood and respected by the humans around them. I’m currently a full time commuting student. My school hours will begin at 8am and end at 4:30pm most days. I will be available to feed and walk your pet before and after these timings. Weekends I am free with notice. Pets are allowed supervised free roam of my home. During the day, they will likely be confined to one room or a crate if needed while I’m at school. Pets will have unlimited access to water, other dogs to interact with, plenty of toys, etc.

About: I’m 49 years old and have had the joy of caring for dogs throughout my life. I regularly babysit my neighbors’ dogs and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I take pride in making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. Because I work from home, I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your dog attention, companionship, and care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. Their day will include plenty of playtime, activity, outdoor time, and lots of love, with a comfortable balance of fun and relaxation. When you’re away, I want you to feel completely confident that your dog is safe, secure, comfortable, and genuinely loved while they’re in my care. I have a small terrier of my own who loves having a friend to play with, so your pup can have a built-in companion if they enjoy socializing with other dogs. I also have a spacious backyard where dogs can safely play and relax, plus a dog park nearby for pups who enjoy getting out and exploring. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll take the time to learn what makes your dog feel at home—from their feeding schedule and favorite activities to their sleeping habits and any special instructions you provide. My goal is simple: to care for your dog the way I would want someone to care for mine. You’ll receive plenty of love, attention, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and make sure we’re a great fit!

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 dogs, cats, and horses, and I’ve had anywhere from two to four dogs in my home at a time since I was about five years old. Labs will always have a special place in my heart, and I’ve had my sweet Lab/Pit Bull mix since 2017. I also currently share my home with a Goldendoodle! Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for not only my own animals but also the pets of other families, and it’s something I genuinely love doing. I know your pets aren’t just pets. They’re family. ❤️ I also understand that leaving them behind, whether it’s for a weekend getaway, a work trip, or a much-needed vacation, isn’t always easy. You’re trusting someone with a very important part of your life, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you AND your pets. I take the time to learn their personalities, little quirks, favorite activities, and daily routines so they can feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels, including puppies, seniors, and multi-pet households. Whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering medications, maintaining crate and bedtime routines, or giving a little extra patience and reassurance to an anxious pup, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I’m also someone who genuinely enjoys being active and getting outside, so if your dog loves long walks and playtime, we’ll get along great! And if your furry friend is more of a couch potato who prefers slow strolls, belly rubs, and snuggles, I’m just as happy doing that. One thing you can always expect from me is communication. I know how reassuring it is to receive updates, pictures, and little check-ins while you’re away. I want you to be able to enjoy your time knowing your pets are being cared for, their routines are being respected, and they’re getting plenty of attention and affection. After a lifetime spent around animals, I’ve learned that every pet is different, and that’s what makes them so special. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to pet care. When I’m caring for your pets, my priority is simple: treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want someone to give my own. Because at the end of the day, you deserve peace of mind, and your pets deserve to feel right at home, even when you’re away. 🐾 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.

About: have experience caring for both dogs and cats and have always enjoyed spending time with pets. I can walk, feed, play with, and provide loving care for pets. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Friends and neighbors have trusted me with their pets, and most pets quickly feel comfortable and happy around me. I’m located in Katy, Texas, and I would love to provide safe, caring, and dependable pet care for your furry family members. As a U.S. Navy veteran, I value reliability and structure in my daily routine. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available most mornings, afternoons, and weekends for dog walks in the Katy area. I can easily adjust to your preferred times and am committed to being punctual and consistent so your pup always gets the care they need. As a retired Navy veteran and a Christian, I take the responsibility of caring for your dog very seriously. During walks I always use a secure leash and harness, stay fully attentive, and choose safe neighborhood routes. I send photo updates so you can feel at ease, clean up after every walk, and carefully follow any special instructions you provide. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority.

“I recently used Belen to watch my two dogs while I was on a family trip out of state. All I can say is, wow! She did an amazing job and went out of her way to make sure my dogs were taken care of and happy. When we had threats of thunderstorms, she even pulled my patio furniture under cover and made sure everything was battened down. I highly recommend Belen!”

About: Hi! I have been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. I grew up on 17 acres of land with all animals even livestock. I worked in an animal hospital in my small town caring for dogs and cats as well as a family friendly farm caring for all kinds of animals. I have always had a passion for animals I spent all of high school in FFA and working jobs to spend all the time I could with the fur babies! I’m currently working a full time job in Fulshear but looking to spend more time with animals as part of my routine. I have a dog of my own but have extra time on my days off! I’m very friendly and have learned to recognize animal behavior and pick up on pet’s energy very quickly. I’m very punctual and have worked with every kind of animal you can imagine! I love staying active and giving pets the attention and care they deserve! I respect all spaces and homes I enter and always leave things better than I found them! I always follow instructions closely to ensure the best care for your pets.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse experience and adaptability in handling a variety of pet care needs. I have specialized skills in training puppies, teaching basic commands and housebreaking, as well as experience in providing compassionate care for senior pets, ensuring they stay comfortable and maintain their routines. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, always prioritizing the individual needs of each pet to provide a safe, loving environment while their owner is away. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize consistency, attention, and quality time with the pets I care for. Each day, I ensure they are fed, exercised, and given mental stimulation through walks, playtime, or training sessions. I stick to their schedules to maintain routine and stability, while also dedicating time to bonding through positive interactions. Whether it's a midday walk, an evening training session, or administering medication when needed, I treat each task with professionalism and a deep commitment to their well-being. When caring for pets in my own home or a client's home, I focus on creating a comfortable, safe, and familiar environment tailored to each pet's individual needs. In a client’s home, I maintain their established routines by ensuring they are fed on time, given regular exercise, and provided with companionship through play and attention. I prioritize cleanliness by keeping their living spaces tidy and ensuring their feeding areas are well-maintained. If medication is required, I administer it carefully and on schedule. Whether it’s training, administering special diets, or simply providing comforting companionship, I approach each pet with patience, respect, and attentive care.

About: Hi, this is Monika! I'm a DevOps Engineer by profession and a pet lover by passion. I work from home full-time, which means your furry friend won't be left alone-ever. During any Rover booking, I don't plan outings or time away. Your pet will have my full attention, care, and companionship all day long. I’m a proud pet parent. My two Shih Tzus are my whole world, and I know exactly how much your furry family means to you. That’s why when you trust me with your pup, I treat them like one of my own—with love, patience, and genuine care. I work 100% remotely, which means your dog will get my full attention throughout the day. No rushing out the door. No leaving them alone for hours. Just all-day playtime, cuddles, potty breaks, and cozy companionship. I have a big, secure backyard where they can safely stretch their legs, sniff around, or enjoy a little sun—and if your pup loves walks, I’m happy to take them out for some fresh air and tail-wagging adventure. One thing I want you to know upfront—dogs are never crated here unless they’re already trained and prefer it that way. And they’ll never be left outside other than potty breaks. In fact, they’ll sleep right next to me, just like my own pups do—safe, warm, and snuggled up. I know how hard it is to leave your pet behind, even for a short while. That’s why I send regular photo and message updates, so you always know how they’re doing. You’ll see the joy on their faces, the comfort in their eyes, and feel at ease knowing they’re in a space filled with love and care. Many pet parents who’ve left their pups with me say it feels like a doggy resort—calm, clean, and full of affection. I keep my home spotless, not just because it matters to me, but because your pet deserves a safe, cozy, and hygienic environment. Here’s the thing—this isn’t just a side gig for me. It’s my passion. Every dog I welcome into my home becomes part of my heart. The time, energy, and love I give far exceed what you’ll ever see on a price tag. Because to me, this isn’t about money. It’s about making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and at home—even when they’re away from you. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’d be honored to care for your pup like family. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine because I work remotely full-time as a DevOps Engineer. I’m home all day, which gives me the flexibility to be fully present for the pets I care for—whether that’s letting them out for potty breaks, giving belly rubs between meetings, or taking them for a walk when they need a break (just like I do!). My mornings usually start with feeding and playtime, followed by some outside time in my secure backyard. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to check in with the pets—some cuddle time, a little fetch, or just hanging out together. Evenings are relaxed and cozy, with dinner, walks (if needed), and winding down together. At night, the pets sleep with me, so they’re never alone and always feel safe and loved. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, my schedule is built to keep your pet happy, engaged, and cared for around the clock. I don’t take on anything else when I have a booking—your pet becomes my full priority At my home, pets have full access to a clean, cozy, and safe space. I keep a consistent routine of feeding, walks, play, and downtime, and I'm always home, so they get my full attention.when I'm caring for your pet, I pour my heart into making sure they feel happy, secure, and loved every step of the way.

Melissa did a wonderful job cat-sitting my cat! She was reliable, caring, and made sure my cat was well taken care of while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and felt completely comfortable knowing my cat was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Melissa and would happily have her cat-sit again!

Sydney was great! From setting up our meet and greet and learning their routines, to taking care of our cat and kitten both with their own special needs, we were able to go away and not having to worry about our fur babies. Communication was easy, instructions were followed with care, and updates provided throughout her visits put our minds at ease. We will absolutely be booking with Sydney again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Foster

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Foster is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 4,627 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Foster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Foster. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
