“We had a family emergency last week and we’re so grateful that Itchel was able to walk Sable with only a few hours notice. She was so friendly and responsive, definitely going to have more walks :)”

“Our dogs love Cheng! He is very kind and attentive with their needs, responsive and easy to communicate with, and shares lots of photos when he takes them out on beautiful walks around the neighborhood. I feel at ease when Cheng takes care of my dogs and look forward to using him again for my future dog walking needs.”

“Great dog walking experience with Di! He is reliable, caring, and always on time. My dog comes back happy and well-exercised every walk. I feel totally comfortable knowing my dog is in great hands.”

“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.”

“Zihong was a great walker and very reliable. The communication was prompt and helpful throughout, keeping me well updated. My dog was always happy to head out on walks with ZIhong and returned well taken care of. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a solid, dependable dog walker.”

“Emily is wonderful! Was able to feed finicky Elsie, played plenty of ball, and was extraordinarily flexible with my scheduling and emergency that came up! Emily also kindly accommodated for my mobility issues. Grateful to have met Emily and would love to book her again”
“Rachel was extremely patience with my grumpy little old girl and I cannot thank her enough. She took extra time to make sure my dog was comfortable with her. 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've been around animals for as long as I can remember, starting with Ginger, my family's German shepherd and husky mix, and four cats 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, goats, even an adult pet rat. 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: 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: 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

About: Welcome! I’m Cristian! After years of loving and caring for pets, I decided to dedicate myself full-time to pet care. This passion led me to create Petboss 24—a personal initiative focused entirely on providing the highest quality of care, comfort, and happiness for your dogs. I know that life can be unpredictable, so I pride myself on being highly flexible. Whether you have unexpected schedule changes or need to adjust dates, I will always do my best to accommodate you. I also prioritize communication, responding to messages as quickly as possible so you can reach out anytime. I lead a very active lifestyle, so if your pup loves being outside, they will be my perfect companion for runs, long walks, and trips to our nearby dog park. Since I am home full-time, alongside my wife, your dog will receive constant attention, double supervision, and never feel lonely. We have a dedicated space in our home exclusively designed for our furry guests. I am constantly upgrading and improving this area to ensure it is the safest, most relaxing, and fun environment possible. We can't wait to welcome your best friend into our home! Pet care is my full-time daily focus. Because I work from home, your pet will never be left alone and will receive structured walks, play sessions, and continuous supervision throughout the day. Pets in our home enjoy a safe, clean, and loving environment. We have a dedicated indoor area with comfortable beds, fresh water, and a cozy setup for rest.

About: I don’t have problem taking caredogs. My friends and family used to relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. I’m currently working part-time and it’s manageable, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups I’m available boarding especially weekdays 7am onwards. My place is a free space for one dog at time especially to trained dog I dont do much restriction so dog can move and play around, I live close to lake in foster city and its so easy access to walk the dog any time in a day.

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 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 am new to the Foster City area coming from Texas. I have had many years of experience taking care of animals. I worked as a veterinary technician for 3 years in Austin, TX and prior to that I have worked with boarding facilities, daycares and groomers. I am skilled in the basics of grooming- bath, hair brushing/detangling, teeth brushing, nails, ear cleaning. I love to go for walks and be outside. I have 3 dogs myself so I am accustomed to walking multiple times a day. I'm also very skilled at cuddling on the couch, for those pets who are less active and looking for a drop in visit. I'm very comfortable around any animals, big or small. I have a lot of experience with senior pets - giving meds, lifting/helping them move around, cleaning up after messes. My main goal is to ensure that your pet is as happy and comfortable as they can be while you are away! I am currently taking a break from the vet care field but I am still looking to enrich my free time and help other's pets live their best lives! My pets are my first priority in the household. I spoil them in anyway that I can with food, treats, adventures and unconditional love. My pets are treated as family and I will always treat your pet with the same level of care and love.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Foster City is $26

Emily is wonderful! Was able to feed finicky Elsie, played plenty of ball, and was extraordinarily flexible with my scheduling and emergency that came up! Emily also kindly accommodated for my mobility issues. Grateful to have met Emily and would love to book her again
This review is for drop-in visits which I booked with Emma for 10 days. I cannot recommend Emma enough! She truly went above and beyond taking care of Koda while we were away on our trip. I was extremely worried about Koda and probably sent Emma paragraphs and paragraphs of instructions and messages, but she was so patient, understanding, and reassuring the entire time. She followed all of my instructions carefully and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Koda was having a lot of anxiety with us being gone, and Emma did so much more than I ever expected from a dog walker. She helped administer his anxiety medication, spent extra time with him, cuddled with him, and even brought Koda to her own home to help him feel more comfortable and ease his anxiety. You can genuinely tell how much she cares about the dogs she takes care of. Knowing that Koda had someone who was not only looking after him but truly caring for him made such a huge difference for us. Emma is incredibly kind, dependable, compassionate, and amazing with Koda. We are so grateful for everything she did for him while we were away. I cannot recommend Emma enough. She is absolutely wonderful, and I would trust her with Koda anytime!

Kathleen walked our dog Benji, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. She gave him so much genuine attention and care throughout — you can really tell she loves animals. Kathleen is very communicative and sent us lots of photos so we always knew Benji was having fun. Benji always came back to us as the happiest dog, clearly worn out from a great time with her. We felt at ease knowing he was in her hands, and we'd recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their pet.

Zihong was a great walker and very reliable. The communication was prompt and helpful throughout, keeping me well updated. My dog was always happy to head out on walks with ZIhong and returned well taken care of. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a solid, dependable dog walker.

Almarah was a great help on our latest trip! She was punctual, reliable, and very attentive to our dog while we were out of town. She kept us updated with thoughtful details and made us feel comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. She was caring, responsible, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. I would absolutely book her again!

Brie took great care of our dog! Brie projects calm energy which is especially helpful for a dog like ours and you can tell she cares very much about dogs in the affection she lavished on our dog. She was punctual and always provided good details and pics on her visits. I'd definitely use her again.

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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
