“Roo is so happy when she stays with Mario. He takes excellent care of her. This past stay she went to him with a bit of an injury. He took special care to make sure she didn't get hurt further and so that she would rest up an heal. Mario is the best! We will be back again.”
“Evie watched our dog Willow for a little over a week while we were on vacation. From the regular updates we got, I can tell that she was giving so much care and attention to Willow, and that Willow loved hanging out with her as well! We really appreciate the peace of mind especially as this is the longest we’ve left our dog with a sitter on rover. We would definitely use her services again.”
“Annie was wonderful with Boba! She was very responsive and sent lots of photos and videos during his stay, which we really appreciated. Boba looked so happy and had a great time playing with the other pups. We could tell he was very well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer took care of my dog like one of her one. She constantly gave me periodic updates and was flexible with the pick up time when my flight got delayed. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hi, I’m Ana! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them brings me so much joy. My rescue dog, Chanchito, was part of our family for over 13 years. He recently crossed the rainbow bridge, and while I miss him every day, he taught me how much love, patience, and companionship our pets give us. We recently welcomed our kitten, Kira, into our family, and he’s brought so much happiness to our home. I’ve also been trusted by friends and neighbors to care for their pets while they’re away. I regularly pet sit Alfie for my neighbors, Steve and Janine, and Enzo for my neighbor, Ali. I also care for my friend Kelly’s cats, Coco and Rax, by feeding them, refreshing their water, cleaning the litter box, and spending time with them so they feel loved and comfortable while she’s away. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to provide loving, dependable care before and after work, as well as on weekends. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I make time each day for walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. I love being outdoors, so if your dog enjoys walks or getting fresh air, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore together. Every pet receives lots of attention, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm condo and only accept one family’s pets at a time so I can give each pet my full attention and help them feel comfortable in a home environment. I currently have a friendly kitten named Kira, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around cats. Before every boarding stay, I like to schedule a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is a great fit. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re staying with a trusted friend, while giving you complete peace of mind through regular updates and photos throughout their stay.
“I can’t say enough great things about Jas! He was able to care for our dog Murphy last minute. He was very responsive, sent updates and pictures throughout our whole trip. The pictures of Murphy showed how relaxed and happy he was! Pretty sure Murph came back smelling better 😆 We will definitely be using Jas again.”
“We've boarded our dog, Lucky, with Jackson twice. Each time, Jackson sent us updates every day and he followed all the instructions we have for Lucky carefully. Lucky always had a blast every time he stayed with Jackson. Jackson took him to the dog park almost every day. It's a bonus that Lucky likes to hang out with Rupert and cuddle with him. We feel at ease to know that Lucky will have a good time.”
“There are some great dog sitters, and some of them also happen to be genuinely great people. That’s how we feel about Katie and Jason. Not only did they love our dog Archie and care for him like he was their own, they kept this nervous dog mama leaving her pup for the first time informed, reassured, and entertained with the frequent updates, photos and videos sharing all the fun and love Archie was having. We cannot thank Katie and Jason enough for not only being excellent caregivers, but also being exceptional humans. They are DEFINITELY our go-to from now on for any future trips we have to take without our Archie!”
“Rocco loved staying with Kitty and Vivian! They sent us photo updates each day which made us very happy ! Thank you both so much! He was a happy boy when picked up! :) ”
“Ivan did a great job dog sitting our two little dogs! He always kept us updated. Drop off and pick up was easily coordinated. Our dogs seemed to have a blast! He sent lots of photos of our dogs having fun, outside, and taking their naps. Will definitely be using his services again!”
“Anna is incredible. As a helicopter mom myself, I really appreciate and feel extremely lucky to have found Anna. She is very responsive, sent pics and updates about Oliver during his half day trial and his sleepover this weekend. She is flexible with time and a really nice person. We look forward to have Oliver’s next stay with Anna, we know he will be in very good hands ❤️🥰”
“Rocky came back calm and we can tell he gets treated very well with Zhenting's family. So glad we found her as we love she has an enclosed backyard space and she is very attentive. We love seeing how Rocky is doing throughout his stay with all the photos she sends!”
“Tina was a wonderful host for our dog while we were away. She was so attentive to his needs and sent us lots of photos to check in. We felt very comfortable putting our dog in her care and would recommend Tina to others too!”
“Kenneth did an amazing job watching my dog. He sent me so many great updates with photos multiple times a day so I knew how she was doing. My dog can be a little shy with new people but Kenneth made her feel comfortable and at home. I could tell by the photos she had warmed up. Kenneth was also very good at following the care instructions I left. I would definitely recommend him as a dog sitter!”
“Di helped me out when I needed a last-minute booking- and he turned out to be a great find! He was incredibly flexible about drop-off/pick-up, super responsive to messages, and sent me a bunch of photos and video updates. He also took Oliver on walks at the times I requested. My pup came back calm and happy. Will definitely book Di for future dog boarding needs!”
“I can’t believe we got this lucky. Michael is only the nicest human on the planet. He and his family took the best care of our Brucey while we were on our 2.5-week trip to Ireland. Daily walks, daily pics, great guy, the best care. Only negative is that I thiiiiiink he stole my dog’s heart ♥️”

I am very thankful for Yang who took excellent care of Howie! She is very detail oriented and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. I could quickly tell from the photos that he was having a great time. She was patient as he adjusted to his new space and in no time, it was like Howie was on a vacation of this own ! I would definitely recommend Yang to others. We plan to use Yang again in the future.
I’ve never boarded my dog, who is 4, anywhere for her entire life and avoided taking trips because I was worried about her. A situation came up where I finally had to leave town for a week and couldn’t take her with me. Kitty worked with me to have my dog make a few day visits before I left. My dog seemed happy to see Kitty when I dropped her off for the long stay. Kitty sent me daily pictures, and I saw my dog gradually relax and make friends, and after a few days she looked really happy! When I went to pick her up, she tried to drag me to the house and backyard to show me around. The peace of mind knowing that my dog was enjoying her boarding experience meant everything to me, and I’m so grateful to Kitty and Joyce for caring for her.
AJ & Anita are our go-to and we can’t recommend them enough. The best part is watching Tomie when we pull up she takes off running and acts like she’s coming home, not being dropped off. She has a blast every time and comes back happy and tired. AJ & Anita are wonderful communicators, so easy to work with, and this time we were late for pickup and they were completely gracious about it. We’ll keep coming back!
It’s our 1st leaving our Samoyed puppy, Chili, with someone. So I can imagine how difficult he may be but she made the experience completely stress free. She sent multiple thoughtful updates and photos throughout the stay, which we loved receiving. You can truly tell how much she cares for animals. We couldn't be happier and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for top notch care for their dog!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Foster City on Rover is $69.93 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 Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 6,831 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Foster City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Foster City sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Foster City landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Foster City home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Foster City.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Foster City sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
