Jas is top notch of a dog walker and has set the standards pretty high. It’ll be challenging to find another dog walker of his caliber. More importantly, Chomsky enjoys the walks with him.

Itchel was an amazing dog walker! Very kind, approachable, and easy to communicate with. Our dog, Cooper, can be quite picky and slow to warm up to new people, but she quickly found a way to connect with him, and he truly enjoyed getting to know her. She was responsible, always on time, and provided great communication throughout. We also loved receiving the photos and updates from their walks. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker!

About: Hi! I’ve been a parent to my current pups for ten years, from puppies to their early senior years. I have experience with disabled dogs (Nemo is three legged+epileptic), active dogs, and fearful dogs. I have 4 years of volunteer experience at animal shelters as an assistant dog trainer and shelter dog socializer, so I’m comfortable with the whole spectrum of pup personalities! I have a flexible work calendar, so I can work around your schedule. Fridays and weekends are great for outings, especially if they like hikes or long walks For simplicity, I like to keep my dogs at home so I can give yours all the attention they need. If you want them socialized, I’m more than happy to take them to the dog park or a public park nearby. Of course, I will only do what you & your dog are 100% comfortable with

About: My husband and I have been our friends and family's designated cat and dog sitter for years. We understand the unique personality of each pet and do our best to provide the best care tailored to your furry baby. We can accomodate pick up time and drop off time between: 8am - 11:30 pm. My husband works from home and I works from home half of the time so we have plenty of time to care for your baby. We usually take two -three walks per day. We can add in more walks if your baby needs more potty breaks. The dogs/cats have free roam of our two bedrooms apt so they can hang out/play with us. We live in an apt building with a dog park right around the corner. We do not have pets at home and are only taking in one dog (with the exception of dogs from the same household) at a time so that we can give your pup the attention he/she needs. P.s. 我可以说中文

She is communicative with me the whole time. I trust Rachel completely in taking care of my dog and can't recommend her enough. We are so glad that we found you Rachel!

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.

About: I have years of experience with animals from fostering, pet sitting, and owning my own pets! I also have done years of volunteering in different shelters. My experience goes far beyond cats and dogs extending to reptiles, birds, small animals you name it. I can handle animals of all temperaments and quirky personalities and have experience with shy and anxious pets. I have a lot of experience with both senior pets and puppies/kittens! I also know CPR, can administer injections, and first aid 😁 I am currently a student with a very flexible schedule and attend classes from 8:30am-12pm If I am in school someone is always home with your pets as I live with my family and they help me out a lot we love your pets like our own 😊 My routine really depends on owners instructions but I will adjust if I need to make it compatible to my lifestyle such as feeding and bathroom times!

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!

About: Pets have become an important part of my adult life and understand their important place in a family. As a pet parent myself, I have been able to apply my experiences with Rover including medical care. I’m very active and enjoy spending time outside as much as possible. My current employment situation allows for flexibility with my schedule. In addition I am located centrally, allowing me to have access to both SF and the peninsula area. Home sittings and drop ins have been some of the things I have done for friends and their pets. For both home sitting and drop ins I have communicated with the pet parent ahead of time. Whether I have been trusted with a spare key or a door code, I respect the home as if it was a family’s member.

About: Since I was 7 years old, I grew up with dogs and they have become my very best friends. About 10 years ago, our senior dog, Biggie, guided me to Rover. He loved to meet new friends. Being with us for 18 years, Biggie knew it was his time to say good-bye and crossed the Rainbow Bridge. His legacy of looking at the world through love has taught me many great lessons! Same goes for all the Dogs I've crossed paths with! The connections and the special bonds that I made with my Rover dog buddies over the years have been one of the most amazing experiences! *I understand 1000% about the feeling of leaving your dog when you have to go away or when he/she is home alone for long periods of time. Trust me that I've been through it too and it was never easy for me. That is why I want you to feel at ease and confident that you can put your trust in me. Drop-in & dog walking: Please reach out to me regarding dates so I can share my schedule for that time. Your doggy will never be left home alone when staying with us! Either me or my husband will be home if one of us has to go out. Or, if your dog enjoys car rides he/she is welcome to join depending on where we are going and factoring weather conditions. I am very open minded, communicative, honest, trustworthy, and head over heels for animals. You will receive pictures and updates everyday during your doggie’s stay! I also have over 35 years of experience and knowledge caring for senior dogs, dogs w/ special needs, and puppies. I am committed to going above and beyond with undivided attention, safety, unconditional love & respect. I am responsible with following owner’s exact instructions- walk, feed, play, what to be mindful of, where they like to be pet, fears…what makes them feel safe, comfortable and happy. (Boarding/Daycare) My priority when caring for your puppy is creating a safe, comfortable, and happy space for everyone who walks through my door. My home is love and happiness…and clean! We have a beautiful, safe and private enclosed backyard for sunbathing. Our new neighborhood is open, clean, grassy, and safe when walking dogs! We also love when dogs sleep on our bed and they are always welcome on furniture. If you prefer they sleep in a crate, their own bed or separate, that’s fine too.

About: I’m a reliable and experienced dog walker and pet sitter with over a year and a half of professional experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats. I’ve loved animals my whole life and was a dog and cat owner myself. My dog was part of my family for 13 wonderful years, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, fresh water, medication, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. After every visit, I send photos, videos, and a short update. GPS walk tracking is also available whenever possible, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect—as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I offer a flexible schedule during the week. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, cat care, or occasional pet sitting, I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions, respect your pet’s routine, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. Whether it’s a walk, feeding, medication, or quiet companionship at home, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Foster City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Foster City on Rover is $31.08 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 13,621 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Foster City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Foster City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Foster City.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

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

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 walker.
