“Jenisa and her family were outstanding pet sitters for our senior Pug. We received regular updates, and it was clear Gus felt safe and like a part of their household. Jenisa is incredibly kind and thoughtful - I recommend her without reservation.”
“Annie is great! She is professional and experienced. She took great care of our dog, and he immediately bonded with the pack. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your pet like their own (and send great photo updates), Annie is the one. We’ll definitely book with her again.”
“Michael is great… I messaged him on short notice and he was able to accommodate my dogs. One of my dogs is very old and he has some balance issues. Michael was great with him, and was able to determine his needs. My other dog was super happy at Michael’s place, when I went to pick him up he was running about with the other dogs! I would definitely go with Michael for all your dog related needs, he has really good dog insights, and you can trust that he will care for your pup(s)!”
About: I have raised my own dog (excluding my families dog) for the past 8 years and have raised puppies for friends in the past. I raised my friends puppy for two years while they left the country . I am also very flexible with my work schedule which allows me to take dogs out consistently if needed. I am fully remote and my job allows me to take breaks whenever needed. I am consistently off at 3 pm and from there I have no other obligations, making pet care my main priority. I usually walk my dog multiple times a day because of how close I am to my local dog park. I have a 15 pound chihuahua that is allowed to use all pieces of our furniture. Any other dog that stays with us will be treated the same. We have a heater when it gets cold as well as multiple blankets that are specifically for pets. We live in an apartment that has a lot of grass fields to walk around.
About: I have a Samoyed x Standard Poodle at home, so I am very comfortable handling and caring for larger breeds! I have also cared for various dogs within my family so I are experienced with smaller dogs and different breeds. And since I work from home full time, you can expect frequent photo and video updates throughout the day so you always know your pup is happy and well looked after! I work from home full time, so your dog will never be left alone. Since I have our own dog, I already do two walks a day — so your pup will definitely be getting out and about! I have my own friendly dog at home who loves meeting new friends — he gets along great with dogs of all sizes and breeds, so your pup will always have a playmate! I also have enrichment toys and lick mats on hand to keep them stimulated and entertained.
About: We became dog owner when a 8 weeks gold golden retriever joined our lives, and we quickly learned how to become a responsible dog parents. After her passing in 2021, we realized life is too short to live without a furry family member. So we brought a golden doodle puppy, Kuli, to join our lives. We are looking to help and support other 4 legs friends. Because we are either take care of all pups together or rotate, we never left them alone without human monitoring for even a single minute to make sure they are safe and have company. We currently take Kuli out for walk 3-4 times a day (weather permitted), and includes a fetching session for 30-60 min in the late afternoon. We also have web cam in our home. We provide organic carrot, sweet potato, or fruits for snacks. We have a fenced backyard, and we were dog parents for more than 10 years now. We had been to dog training classes, and know how to handle dogs in the park, hikes, and other social situation. We know that dogs need enough exercise, not just walking.
“Zhenting and her family were delightful, communicative, responsive, and most importantly so sweet to me and my puppy. I reached out in a pinch and she responded quickly, asked important questions, and made me feel comfortable about leaving my most important possession with her. Great experience and I’d recommend to any pet owner!”
“Diana was so welcoming and accommodating to Teddy. They have a lovely house with a big back yard that he loved. She was also flexible with seeing whether Teddy would get along with other dogs she was boarding. The pictures she sent me that day made me feel like Teddy was in such good hands. He loved it there.”
“Ivy and Zach were so great with my frenchie, Bentley! I needed a day sitter at the last minute and they were highly responsive, very accommodating to my schedule, and took Bentley out multiple times that day. Would definitely book them again.”
About: Having raised my own puppy and dogsat for friends with anxious pups, I'm well versed in how to provide for a pup's full time needs. I can also provide puppy training in house manners (for example: waiting patiently to be fed, waiting at doors, simple commands). My care and attention to my own puppy, Chef, is full time and I am super excited to share that with your pup. We can go on excursions or hang around the house or play fetch at the dogpark. Whatever your pup is up for. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup for your pup(s) to play with! And if your pup doesn't want company for whatever reason, I have gates and crates to make sure they are safe and happy in their own space. Feel free to request photos/videos and check in anytime for updates.
“Anna and Conrad took great care of Teddy for the day and was able to accommodate our last minute request for booking and changes. Our guy is a little shy around other dogs so they were extra patient and caring to ensure he was okay and even allowed us to meet before our daycare so the dogs can get exposure. We also have a special diet and due to a recent illness and they were able to continue with our feeding instructions (even letting us know how much he consumed in the meal). I would be more than happy to drop off our dog for another session with them. Thank you Anna, Conrad, Mochi, and Olive!”
“Andy was so great with my enormous, energetic puppy! Took him on lots of walks, sent lots of pictures, and Beau was really excited to come back the next day and tired out when I picked him up. Thank you so much Andy!”
“Very clean home and our pup seemed like he really enjoyed his stay with Hui! She sent photos throughout the day and was very attentive. I appreciate her understanding and care with puppy. I hope she can watch Harvey in the future!”
About: We’re dog lovers (currently without our own furball) and would love to care for yours. Our pet parent history: Over 18 years, we've raised puppies (black Lab and Boxer mix) and then a cool cat found us, making a party of 5. Post-trio, we rescued a middle-aged Boxer who was sweet on humans but not so much with other dogs and spent several years walking on the wild side with her before she became street-settled. We've been dog park regulars and hosted furritos of friends for slumber parties and were short-term vacation fosters. We've gently nursed our dogs through neuropathy, lung cancer, and Cushing's disease. We found great people to care for our girls on Rover and want to do the same for you! We miss being dog parents dearly and will care for your pets as if they were our own. If you happen to have dog & cat siblings, they are welcome, too! It’s summer break for one of us and the other is self-employed, so we have tons of time to dedicate to your furrito! We prefer not to leave your pup unattended — generally one of us will be with your doggo at all times. Your dog(s) will have access to all parts of our non-smoking home, sofa and beds included! Our dogs were free range, we do not have a crate. We are happy to use yours, please bring if needed. We’ll schedule a meet & greet ahead of time to make sure that you’ll both feel comfortable with us while apart and that your dog is a good match for us. Our home is 2 stories (wood floors downstairs, carpeted stairs & upstairs) with a front yard and small back patio area. We're in a safe neighborhood where we'll take daily walks.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Foster City is $56
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Foster City
Lawrence and his gf are sooo amazing with my Milo. I recently moved to San Mateo and was looking for a new rover. Even though we had great rovers in our previous city, Milo was still always a little hesitant when dropped off. I was so surprised today when he jumped out of the car off leash and excitedly ran to her! I can tell he is taken care of well and he feels loved/safe there. Also sooo amazing that we get constant videos and updates throughout the day!
Kathryn and Jason were incredible sitters! They were able to accommodate our last minute request and followed our care instructions wonderfully. They took the time to get to know our dog and his needs prior to sitting. Our fur baby received all the attention and love he needed and more. I received updates with pictures throughout the day. I would definitely use their services again.
Zhenting took great care of Jojo. I can tell Jojo had a great time because he couldn’t wait and just ran to the door directly when we dropped him off on the second day. Zhengting also shared lots of update which we really appreciated. I would highly recommend her services to anyone!
Bettina was wonderful! I liked that she wasn't over eager to book us to ensure our puppy was the right fit in her home. For a 5 month old working dog breed, she was gracious in helping watch him while we had to go into the office. I appreciate her attention to detail and while Archer ate a leaf off one of her houseplants & chewed a rug :(, she was more concerned about his safety which I am grateful for. Thank you again, Bettina!
Jin took such great care of Pepper! She was attentive, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Pepper came home happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. We really appreciated the updates and the genuine care she showed throughout the stay. Highly recommend Jin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their pet!
Archer had SO much fun. I've never seen him at home so exhausted 🤣 He passed out in his crate 10 minutes after getting home from pick up. Thank you, Heidi! She and her bf took great care of Archer on our behalf. We were very worried about his first Rover but they made it feel like such a breeze. Appreciate your help!
Annie is great! She is professional and experienced. She took great care of our dog, and he immediately bonded with the pack. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your pet like their own (and send great photo updates), Annie is the one. We’ll definitely book with her again.
Pitzy was fantastic!! Very easy going, calming personality and gets along great with dogs. This was our first Rover so we were a bit unsure how it would go but Pitzy made everything super easy. She got on the phone with us and took lots of pictures / sent lots of updates. Felt like she took care of Mia like her own. Can tell Mia had a lot of fun with her and looked forward to seeing her. 10/10 will recommend and will be coming back!!
Addie had an amazing time at Ming-Ching’s house! We’ll definitely be bringing her back for both doggie daycare and boarding. Communication was great, and we loved receiving pictures throughout the day—it gave us so much peace of mind. She clearly prioritizes safety and truly emphasizes attentive, thoughtful care. Highly recommend!
Very prompt responses on communication. Was just a brief dog sitting for a couple hours but Henry was a good tired boy when he came back to us! He’s a little anxious about walking in new places and without both his mom & dad so we appreciate you doing his fav sprints on the grass near your place to make sure he got his exercise!
Julissa took excellent care of our dog, Sopita. Although our dog is a bit shy, Julissa did a great job at making her feel comfortable and enjoy her time at daycare. She also shared pictures of her settling in and on a walk which put us at ease. Would definitely recommend!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Foster City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Foster City on Rover is $61.05 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,449 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Foster City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Foster City commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 5,449 sitters in Foster City, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
