“You won’t find better dog care than Katie and Jason! Attentive, caring and loving- they went above and beyond with walks, playtime and snuggles. Benji had a wonderful time staycationing with them! Super great communication before and during stay, too! Our pooches will be back. Can’t recommend more highly. 🩷”
“Anne is wonderful and patient with our senior dog. She really made him feel safe and comfortable as he has such separation anxiety. She sent us so many pictures and updates. She is also so observant with his behavior. Thank you Anne for being such a loving and kind sitter! We appreciate you do much!”
“Joey spent 2 and a half weeks with Mario. It went very well. Mario sent a lot of photos - it was like Joey was at summer camp! Mario is really good with dogs and easy to work with... Highly recommend!”
“Irina was a fantastic dog sitter for our Sophie! She clearly loved her, and we could tell Sophie was happy and well cared for the whole time. Irina sent lots of updates, which gave us great peace of mind. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her!”
“Our dog had a fantastic experience and Michael and family are so kind to treat my dog same as their own . Feel very lucky to find them . Would recommend and will come back again”
“We had a wonderful experience with Annie, who took care of our young puppy for two weeks. During our time away, I had a piece of mind knowing that our dog is in great hands. Annie communicated with us daily, through photo updates and texts when needed. She took care of our dog as if her own. She was very attentive and took great measure when intervention was needed help (dog chewing on paws). We will definitely consider Annie for helping us with boarding in the future!”
“Our Pepper was returned happy and clean after three long weeks away! We received cute photos and updates almost daily. She made friends with other dogs which was good for her. Excellent care from Kitty and Han :)”
“Our dog was really happy during his stay and Edward seemed equally happy to spend time caring for him. Edward was very flexible, easy to communicate with, and provided many photos of their adventures.”
“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.”
“We recently had the pleasure of leaving our maltipoo, Toto, in Di’s care — and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment we dropped Toto off, Di made sure she felt right at home. We could tell Toto was not just being watched, but truly cared for — she got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. When we picked her up, she was happy, healthy, and clearly had a great time. We are so grateful to Di for treating Toto like part of the family. We will definitely be booking again and highly recommend Di to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter for their fur baby!”
“Michale and Evie are the best! They are so attentive and kept us updated in our pet’s status. I can tell our pet had a great time there!! I will definitely rebook!!!”
“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!”
“Ivan took great care of Remy while i was away for two weeks. He sent lots of updates and adorable photos of Remy having fun which was just so nice to see. Communication and coordinating drop off and pick up was easy and Remy came home happy and healthy. Definitely recommend!”
“Diana and Michael are fantastic. They were attentive and caring with our dog and very accommodating with her needs. I recommend them to anyone looking for a more personal boarding or daycare experience for their pet.”
“Great couple! Very responsive. They really took care of my dog and I can tell that my dog had a great time at their home. I received the photos of my dog every day and knew that my dog was treated very well. Highly recommend!”
“Jenisa was a great caretaker for our Kaya. She took care of our dog for 3 nights and would send photo updates. It was super simple scheduling pick up and drop off times. If Jenisa is available we would recommend choosing her next time you need someone to look after your doggo!”

This was our third time leaving our pup with Akosua, and we can't say enough how wonderful Akosua is! She is a lovely person, and our dog absolutely adores her. Our dog takes us right to Akosua's door wagging and comes home happy and relaxed -- all behaviors we have never seen with another sitter. Akosua clearly knows dogs well, and has great communication, giving us lots of updates and sending great photos. Thanks Akosua for taking great care of our baby!
Incredible experience, Zicheng and his family shared daily photos and videos as well as updates. Our pup has always been a picky eater but under their care she finished her meals almost daily, and they also suggested some tips to help make her eat better. Thank you again for taking such good care of our pup!!
Annie was great with our dog. This was our first time having our dog with a pet sitter. She was with our dog for a month and she took great care of him. Our dog is a 14 year old senior Yorkie-poo and she sent us pictures of him everyday. She is really professional and reliable. We will be coming back for pet sitting later this month and plan to have her as our pet sitter from now on. We feel so lucky and relieved to have her as our pet sitter. Thank you Annie.
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.
Diana and Michael are amazing hosts. They are very thorough with communication and generously allowed for earlier drop off. She made sure to note down feeding instructions for Lumo’s weight loss food and weighed specific amount of kibble for each meal. They keep sending regular pictures and videos of Lumo’s shenanigans. Even during a busy July 4th weekend, she regularly sent updates and pictures of Lumo enjoying. Lumo happily goes to Diana’s home every single time and comes back happy and tired. We highly highly recommend Diana & Michael for your pup’s daycare and boarding needs. They are our 1st choice for Lumo’s boarding and daycare.
Ivy and Zach took wonderful care of Lucky during his stay. They were very responsive, communicated proactively throughout the entire stay, and sent frequent updates with great photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They were also very thoughtful whenever they had a question about Lucky or noticed something unusual—they always reached out to discuss it instead of making assumptions. We really appreciated how patient, responsible, and caring they were. Lucky came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would absolutely trust them with Lucky again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate sitters!
Jennifer and her family gave Roscoe such a great stay with them! He got some friends to play with throughout, which I can tell he loved by the daily photos and videos. She was incredibly gracious and accommodating when my flight was delayed and I really appreciated that didn’t have to be another stressful thing on my list that I was handling. I definitely would book with her again and I know Roscoe would love that 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!
Kathryn and Jon were amazing at the meet and greet and in taking care of our Akali. They were very understanding with her and asked many great questions towards her care to which I didn't think of or remembered to mention about. They sent many pictures with her updates and Akali came back super happy! Will definitely ask for them again next time!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Foster City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Foster City on Rover is $71.04 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,778 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.
