“Irina was extremely attentive to my boys' needs, going above and beyond with giving them treats, playing with them, cleaning their litter box, and sending plenty of updates while I was away on a trip. I had only asked her to keep the boys well fed and ensure their safety, but clearly, my cats had a great time with her around! I recommend Irina to any pet parent in need of care for their beloved pets”
About: I have 3+ years of hands-on experience caring for my two cats, and I regularly look after a friend’s Shiba Inu for about a month each year. I’m a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and fluent in English. 欢迎全程使用中文沟通，包括见面了解、照护说明和每次服务后的照片与情况更新。 I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, walks, playtime, and following detailed care routines. Living with a shy cat has taught me to be patient, read pets’ body language, and let them approach at their own pace. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, behavior, and litter box habits. I’ll also provide clear photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I limit my daily bookings so I can arrive on time, follow each pet’s routine carefully, and give every pet my full attention. I keep my Rover calendar updated and appreciate at least one day’s notice from new clients so we have time to confirm care instructions and arrange a Meet & Greet when needed. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home and follow each owner’s instructions closely. Before the first booking, I prefer a Meet & Greet to review feeding, water, litter boxes, walking routines, home access, emergency contacts, and any health or behavioral needs. During every visit, I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep dogs leashed outdoors, avoid interactions with unfamiliar animals, and respect your home. I also send photos and detailed updates about your pet’s food, water, bathroom habits, energy, and behavior.
“Typical Abra broke a another glass jar while we were out. Rachel was so great at making sure he was safe and cleaned up the whole situation. She's the best!”
“Mario took great care of our dogs- when we were on vacation. We appreciate the communication and photos. We will definitely ask him to help out in the future.”
“Bo was an amazing cat sitter. She was very professional, detail-oriented, and truly cared for each of my cats with so much attention. She communicated quickly and consistently, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated all the photos and updates she shared, she really went above and beyond. I felt like my cats were in such good hands. Highly reliable and highly recommended!”
“Cheng and Andree are amazing!!! Kennedy was so happy spending the weekends with them and their sweet pup Kuli, had a lot of fun time at park and got a lot of jogging. They also added healthy supplements like carrots, apples and fish oil to Kennedy’s meal and he liked it so much! 100%+ recommend to everyone!”
About: I've been around animals almost my whole life. I volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, have had cats of my own since 2013, pet sat cats and dogs for friends and family, and have had experience raising kittens as well as experience in TNR. Currently available all day and can be available for evenings and/or overnights if needed. Starting in late August I will not be able to visit your pet between 8am-12:30pm as I am a part time preschool teacher. But I am more than happy to spend time with your pet when you're not able to so they have company until you return home! As a life long animal lover, I understand pets are more than just an animal, but they're part of the family. I take time to get to know each pet and will do all I can to ensure that they are always safe in my care, whether during a walk or pet sitting in your home.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little. I've cared for my own throughout the years as well as walked, house sat, and cared for many others' dogs! My work schedule is different every week but I get mine typically a month ahead of time and can plan accordingly. I'm open to scheduling same day or ahead of time if time allows. As long as care instructions are provided, I will happily follow what is needed for your pet. I believe communication and safety is most important!
“Annie did a great job taking care of our cats. We really appreciated how she played with them for a long time to keep them company while we were away. We’ll definitely book her again!”
“Patrycja was amazing in her drop in visits to look after our cat. She was punctual, thoughtful, and super nice to Bandit. We appreciated her photo and video updates. Strongly recommended!”
About: I’ve always been someone who naturally loves being around animals. I grew up with two dogs in my family and later had my own cat, who was a huge part of my life. What I love most about pets is how they give back even more love when you show them love. Their pure trust, kindness, and affection mean so much to me. I enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I understand that every pet is different—some want lots of attention and playtime, while others prefer their own space and a calm companion. As a pet owner, I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your loved one at home, and I want to help ease that worry. While I may not be the most professional sitter, I can guarantee that I will treat your pet the same way I would want my own to be treated—with patience, care, and genuine love. Your baby will definitely be in good hands with me. I work part-time as a project manager, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to spend with your pet and give them the attention they deserve. I have a yard for curious pets to explore, and I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood where almost every family seems to have a cat or dog! There are also nearby trails where I can take your dog for a run if they’re energetic, or simply enjoy a relaxing walk at their own pace. I currently don’t have any pets or kids at home, so my home is a quiet and comfortable space, especially for pets who may need a little extra time to adjust. Cats and dogs are absolutely welcome on the furniture and, of course, cuddles are always welcome! ❤️ I want your pet to feel at home and will treat them with the same care and love I would want for my own.
“Rong was super sweet and really attentive with Stella. Stella usually takes a while to warm up to people, but she seemed very comfortable with Rong right away. Rong also paid attention to the little things around the apartment and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. Would definitely book with her again.”
About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve had dogs since I was 8 years old and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, personalities, and ages. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a senior dog who needs a little extra patience and attention, I am committed to providing the best care possible and adapting to each pet’s unique needs. When I care for your dog, they will receive plenty of love, attention, and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I am patient, attentive, and truly enjoy building bonds with the animals I care for. I also have a fur baby of my own, a Golden Retriever, who is full of love, energy, and personality! I am currently home full-time and available for drop-in visits, walks, boarding, and house sitting when needed. I have a flexible schedule, communicate quickly, and am happy to accommodate last-minute bookings. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give them all the love and attention they deserve! I just graduated from San José State University, so I have lots of free time and flexibility to give your pups all the love and care they deserve! In both my home and clients’ homes, I make sure pets stay on their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I’m very attentive, patient, and organized, and I always make sure pets feel relaxed, safe, and cared for like they’re my own.
About: We are a couple who genuinely love animals and enjoy caring for them together. Mike grew up with a Golden Retriever named Lady and understands how to handle and care for dogs with patience and love. Lady spent her happy senior years together with our family, which gave us a lot of experience caring for an aging dog as well. Evie grew up with a Shih Tzu named Mashiro and was deeply involved in her care. Living with Mashiro taught them how sensitive and loving dogs are, and how important it is to provide gentle attention, patience, and a calm environment. We have already been caring for pets for some time and have built relationships with several private clients outside of Rover. Recently, we decided to join Rover to meet more wonderful pets and families in the community. We are always happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. We also enjoy being active, so dogs with lots of energy are absolutely welcome. Long walks, playtime, and exercise are no problem for us. We have a bicycle, which can be great for very active dogs that enjoy running. We treat every pet as if they were our own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. We have a flexible schedule and are able to spend plenty of time caring for pets throughout the day. Evie is usually at home, which allows us to give pets consistent attention, walks, and playtime. We are available for boarding on weekdays and weekends and are happy to accommodate your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can relax and feel at home. We always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, and we follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, and routines. We are also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away.
“Chloe did an amazing job with drop-in visits for my kitties when I was out of town for a weekend! She is very communicative and went above and beyond with all the details for their care! I hope we can work with Chloe again the next time we need someone to take care of our cats.”
About: Dogs have always been a large part of my life, whether the pups were my own, my roommate’s, or my friends’. Currently, I don't have any fur babies of my own and this is the longest I've lived without one in my life, so I’m hoping that caring for your fur babies will help tide me over until I'm able to get one of my own! I have a lot of love and attention I’d love to shower your fur baby with, but I also have a lot of patience and persistence for those who need a more determined approach. I have experience working with big and small breeds and younger and senior mutts, as well as Boxers, Pit Bulls, Great Danes, Labradors, German Shepherds, and Golden Retrievers. For the past year I’ve been volunteering with the Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA for the past year, working specifically with reactive and fearful dogs. Prior to that I’ve volunteered at shelters all over the world. I’ve lived in a few different countries and within the US I’ve lived in Boston, Washington D.C., Florida, and now the Bay Area! I speak English and Hindi fluently, and am conversant in Spanish, French, and Arabic. I’m happy to learn how to say commands and sweet nothings in any language that your fur baby prefers. I have a BA in Biological Anthropology from Boston University and a Master’s in Public Health from George Washington University. I’m currently unemployed and looking for work in health care - but this just means my schedule is that much more open and flexible. I look forward to loving and caring for your pup while their favorite person is away. I’m currently unemployed and looking for work in health care - but this just means my schedule is that much more open and flexible. I'm happy to work on the schedule that works best for you. When caring for your pet in your own I am respectful, considerate, and clean. I understand that sharing your space with another person requires a lot of faith and understanding, and I endeavor to make sure we are both comfortable with the arrangement. I hold transparency and trust in very high regard! Along-side caring for your pet I'm happy to water plants or take care of any other living thing that might also need attention!
About: I've cared for our family dog as a teenager. As an adult, I've had my own dog, who I adopted from a local shelter. She was an adult stray who stole my heart. I prioritized her every need. I've also cared for pets belonging to family members and my neighbors. My experience is with young to adult dogs and cats ranging from kittens to seniors. Additionally, I volunteered at a local pet shelter for three and half years, providing care to dogs of all ages. I'm reliable, honest, punctual, and follow instructions quite well. I work full-time, but am available to check-in on your pet in the mornings and late afternoons on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and weekends. I work remotely on some days, which gives me more flexibility. I can travel to your home at your preferred time. I'm happy to accommodate your preference for entering your home and securely locking up after I leave. I can meet you in advance to ensure I have all of your instructions on how you want me to care for your pet.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Foster City
This was my second time booking with Jennifer. She clearly loves cats and has such a wonderful understanding with my shy cat Charlie. She's also just the nicest person and was a lifesaver for me this trip -- she went out of her way to be available on days she wasn't originally scheduled as available, including a last minute addition after her last scheduled visit, when my return flight was massively delayed.
Irina was extremely attentive to my boys' needs, going above and beyond with giving them treats, playing with them, cleaning their litter box, and sending plenty of updates while I was away on a trip. I had only asked her to keep the boys well fed and ensure their safety, but clearly, my cats had a great time with her around! I recommend Irina to any pet parent in need of care for their beloved pets
Milena was fantastic! Not only did she kindly step in to help at the last second when another sitter had to cancel for an emergency, but she was great with my cats. Even my shy cat was willing to come out for her, which says a lot! Additionally I received frequent updates and excellent communication. Highly recommend
Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our cat! Bo did so much more than just look after our cat—she also collected our mail, took out the trash, vacuumed the house, and even washed cat’s food bowls. We truly appreciated all the extra care and attention she gave our home. The photos of our cat that she sent us every day were absolutely wonderful, and they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for two weeks. Thanks to her, we were able to fully enjoy our trip without worrying. We are truly grateful for everything she did for us. Thank you so much, and we hope to ask for your help again in the future!
Yiheng was absolutely wonderful! I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats, and everything was spotless. She took such great care of both my cats and my home. She sent lots of photos and detailed updates after every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I always knew how my cats were doing, what they ate, how they behaved, and all the little details that showed she was really paying attention to them. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with Yiheng again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring cat sitter!
Mackenzie took wonderful care of our cat for an extended period of time. After every visit, she sent us detailed updates that gave us great peace of mind. We truly can’t thank her enough. Thanks to her, we never had to worry about our cat while we were away. Since she is a cat owner herself, she built a great bond with our cat. I would highly recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter.
Rachel has extensive experience caring for pets, is highly responsive, and always makes sure everything is clean and tidy before she leaves. It has been a pleasure working with her, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
I cannot recommend this sitter enough! They took absolutely wonderful care of my cat, Anya. They were incredibly responsible and detail-oriented—making sure to refill her dry food, top off her automatic water fountain, and even fill up her extra water bowls. They also gave her the exact treats I left out (freeze-dried treats and Temptations) and spent a long time actively playing with her. In addition, they also sent me the most beautiful, high-quality photos of her! I felt completely at ease. Highly, highly recommend!
Yuemin is the best!! I've booked her so many times and she always does a great job. She sticks to my notes exactly, so I never have to worry about details getting missed. You can tell she truly cares about the cat she's watching, not just clocking in and out. Highly recommend Yuemin!
Xiangling took wonderful care of our cat. She is incredibly patient, caring, and attentive to his needs. Qiuqiu quickly became comfortable with her. Every day, she follows the instructions and do the routines, also send us lots of photos and videos, along with thoughtful updates about how Qiuqiu was doing. Seeing him so relaxed and happy gave us huge peace of mind. Qiuqiu sometimes pees on the sofa so we always put pad on our sofa. She adjusted the shape and placement of the pad to help prevent accidents. It wasn’t something we specifically asked her to do—it was simply her paying close attention to his habits and finding a thoughtful solution. That level of care really stood out to us. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Xiangling to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive cat sitter. We will definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Foster City on Rover is $32.19 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 6,544 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Foster City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Foster City. On Rover:

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.
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.
