“Bo was wonderful in watching my kitties, she paid close attention to their comfort level and engaged with them accordingly. She was extremely well communicative and I would love to book her again!”
About: I’m a proud cat parent to a spoiled, sweet 4-year-old cat named Winston, and I’ve spent years looking after my friends' cats whenever they’re out of town. I know firsthand that felines aren't just pets—they’re family members with their own quirky personalities, strict routines, and personal boundaries! Whether your cat is an energetic kitten, a sweet senior, or a shy feline who takes time to warm up, I meet them where they're at so they feel safe and comfortable. What you can expect from me: Respecting their boundaries: I pay close attention to feline body language. If your cat loves belly rubs and feather wands, I'm all in! If they just want a quiet human nearby while they relax under the couch, I let them set the pace. Keeping their exact routine: Fresh water, strict meal times, clean litter boxes, and their favorite games—I stick precisely to what keeps them happy and stress-free. Thoughtful daily updates: You’ll get detailed updates during every visit, complete with plenty of photos and notes on how they're eating, playing, and lounging. My main goal is to treat your cat with the same love and care I give my own, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. I am currently very flexible with my schedule and available throughout the day for pop-in visits, feeding, and quality playtime at times that suit your cat's exact routine. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. Since my own cat Winston spends time both indoors and outdoors, I am very familiar with managing both environments and respecting each pet's specific routine and boundaries.
“Jennifer is definitely a cat person and a reliable sitter. I appreciated her attendance, attention to instructions given, and daily updates. Each visit came with a summary of the interaction which was nice to read while away from home.”
“Heleen was great! We have a very shy cat and he let her pet him in the second visit already, so that is a miracle for us. We appreciate the effort she has taken to communicate with him and the thought and attention she put in the details about his feeding along with the other small things.”
“Aik came by the house before his petsitting visit to learn where everything was... he followed instructions perfectly and sent a picture of the one cat who came out to see him when he was here. Looking forward to having him take care of the cats, house and plants again!”
“This was our second time boarding our cat with Kecheng, and we had another great experience. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and videos, and our cat looked happy and comfortable throughout the stay. He was relaxed and content when we picked him up. We also had to extend the stay by one extra night, and Kecheng was incredibly kind to care for our cat for the additional day free of charge. We truly appreciated the thoughtfulness and would absolutely book with Kecheng again. Highly recommend!”
“Kathy came over on short notice and we were able to arrange her services to feed my shy cat, Cody. By the second day they were friends. She has lots of experience and easily followed all instructions. I would definitely use Kathy again!”
“Alessio was great! We had a last minute need for care and he responded promptly and professionally, so willing to help. Our dogs have a lot of energy with guests but they calmed down very quickly and settled in for a night while we were out. We came home to calm and happy dogs!”
About: Every chance that I had, I would take the opportunity to learn about and spend time with dogs and puppies. I love to teach new tricks, spend quality time, and learn about each unique dog! I work part time already, but I do not have an animal at home, and would love to be able to spend time with them while upping my overall experience with them! I am usually available in the mornings and evenings to spend time with them. The first thing I always make sure of is that the animals are in a safe enviorment, even in their own homes (ex: they could have knocked something over), whether or not it is a drop-in or "long term" visit. I always make sure that they are comfortable, indoors and outdoors, and that they are getting plenty of attention. Following a routine set by the parents is the priority, but always making sure that the animal is having fun is important too.
About: Hi there! My name is Molly. I am a responsible pet sitter with over 6 years of experience caring for all fuzzy friends of all ages and sizes. Skilled in creating engaging and fun environment with the priority for animal's safety and well-being. Trusted by parents and with a mutual loving affection for all cared-for animals. Feel free to reach out to me whenever, I look forward to talking with you all! Your part-time cat savior is here. My flexible evening and weekend availability means your feline royalty stays perfectly fed, thoroughly entertained, and properly pampered while you are away. Your pet's safety and well-being are my absolute top priority. I provide a secure, hazard-free environment, ensuring total peace of mind while you are away.
About: My greatest concern when it comes to working with Rover.com is that you, your pet, and myself all have an awesome and positive relationship. If we aren't a good fit, then the money isn't worth it! I am a local artisan with a flexible schedule and experience pet sitting who finds it rewarding to care for animals while earning some extra income. Every pet deserve's loves and attention when their human family is away. That's why I only take care of one dog/cat/family at a time. This ensures that there's no scheduling difficulties and your furry friend is well cared for. I’m always excited to meet new friends so drop me a line if you need some time. Thanks for visiting my profile :) : Im a studio artist and work from home so I have plenty of time to help care for your fuzzy friends, whether its a drop in visit a walk or something else, I’d love to meet you and your pup :) I have a fenced yard a stay near the bay trail so getting outdoors is very easy. I prefer not to take clients dogs to dog parks for safety reasons but walks and attention are certainly part of the experience.
About: My name is Steffany and I'm excited for the opportunity to care for your pet. I have a lifetime of loving animals and cared for many dogs and cats of my own over the years. I am professional, timely and welcome the opportunity to care for your four-legged family member. I am a busy professional in the Medical Field and will appreciate time with your pets. I'm well versed in caring for dogs and breeds of all types, as well as, feline friends. Thank you for stopping by to read my profile and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members in order to meet all of your specifications and provide excellent care.
“Cecilia is pretty fantastic! We have a very timid cat who took months to warm up to me. But apparently she had no trouble warming up to Cecilia! She was very well taken care of and we will inevitably rebook again with Cecilia!”
“Susanne made our first experience with a sitter wonderful. She was very caring, very communicative and cared for Lola like she was her own cat. We’d definitely recommend her!”
About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember, starting with Ginger, my family's German shepherd and husky mix, four cats, fish, and pet rodents growing up. I later spent about two years volunteering at my local SPCA, working hands-on with dogs of every size and temperament, from bouncy puppies to nervous rescues. I've also had cats of my own as an adult, including two rescues, and fostered kittens before I started traveling. Since then I've cared for pets through farm stays and housesits across Costa Rica, Panama, Spain, and Canada — dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, goats, sheep, pigs, a donkey, as well as an adult pet rabbit. 😊 I'm comfortable administering medication, working with anxious or senior animals, and managing multi-pet households. I'm calm, attentive, and treat every home and animal I look after like my own. I'm currently transitioning to the San Mateo County area temporarily starting early November and building my schedule around pet care full-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for house sits, and daily visits, including extended or last-minute stays. I don't currently have a conflicting 9-to-5, which means I can commit fully to a pet's normal routine for the length of a booking rather than fitting care in around other work. Since I focus on house sitting, I stay at your home rather than asking your pet to adjust to a new environment. I follow feeding, medication, and walking routines exactly as instructed, keep the house clean and secure, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I don't bring other pets into the home, so your animal gets my full attention for the whole stay.
About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve had dogs as pets for many years and have experience caring for dogs through all stages of life, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. Our family dog was part of our lives for 14 wonderful years, giving me firsthand experience with the love, patience, and extra care that comes with caring for an aging pet. I’ve also been a proud cat mom to my two kitties for the past 13 years, so I’m very familiar with the unique personalities, routines, and needs of cats. My love for animals extends beyond my own pets. I’m naturally someone who feels a responsibility to look out for animals in need and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I treat every animal with the same patience, affection, and attention I would give my own, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are in loving hands! I currently work part-time, which allows me to offer morning drop-ins and dog walks until 12 PM, as well as evening visits after 6 PM, Monday through Friday. I also have greater flexibility on weekends! I’d love to meet you and your furry family members! Feel free to reach out with your pet care needs and preferred dates so we can find a schedule that works best for you and your pets. I look forward to connecting! I treat your home and pets with the same love, care, and respect I give my own. I make it a priority to follow your pets’ routines, respect your space, and leave everything just as I found it. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while receiving everything they need in the familiarity of their own home. I offer in-home care and drop-in visits rather than boarding.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Foster City
Irina took wonderful care of our cat, Mimi! She was very attentive, reliable, and made sure Mimi had everything she needed while we were away. We really appreciated her help and felt comfortable knowing Mimi was in good hands. Would definitely recommend her and book with her again!
Lili took great care of my cat Yogurt while we were away! She was reliable, attentive, and made sure he was well taken care of. We really appreciated her help and felt at ease knowing Yogurt was in good hands. Would definitely recommend Lili and book with her again!
Another great experience with Linda! We were originally away for two weeks but ended up coming home early, and she was super sweet and accommodating about the change. Qiuqiu had some sensitivity in his toes this time, and Linda was so observant and thoughtful that she even picked up on those little details. Qiuqiu absolutely loves her, and we always feel at ease knowing he’s in good hands. So happy to have found her! ❤️
Yujie watched my cats while I was away for a week, and they couldn’t be in better hands!!! She was available to meet them beforehand and while I was away she sent me detailed updates and pictures from them. One of my cats needed daily insulin injections and she handled it really well. I definitely recommend her as a petsitter!!!
There’s nothing like piece of mind when you are away from your pet. Zishen and Yukuang are amazing. My cat was pampered and clearly loved by both. They sent many photos and detailed updates every drop in during the two weeks that we were gone. All tasks were completed above and beyond. They also made sure to let us know about a notice that was on our front door. I would recommend them highly to my friends and they are my top choice while I’m away!
Heleen is our go-to person whenever we need someone we can trust to look after our boy. We have a very shy cat, but he feels completely comfortable with her. On top of that, Heleen is incredibly easy to communicate with, practical, and reliable. She gets things done!
Nicol is the most patient, kind and caring sitter we ever had. She always goes above and beyond to take care of our cats and the house. Her love and care for our cats makes us feel really reassured and we can travel at peace, thanks to Nicol. I can't recommend her enough.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Foster City is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $48 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 2,231 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Foster City. On Rover:
- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 87% 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.
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.
