“Scout looked so happy in all the photos and videos. I felt so comfortable having Kazu and Yuko watching over her during my absence. Thank you for all your attention that you gave to Scout and I feel very confident with you care the next time I need to have a sitter for Scout. Many thanks again!”
“Cynthia and her family are truly a Peninsula gem. My dog, Loki, is a border collie mix who thrives on daily outdoor adventures beyond neighborhood walks—he’s a regular at Fort Funston and Thornton Beach and definitely has high standards for exercise and enrichment. During his stay, Cynthia went above and beyond to cater to all of Loki’s needs and kept him happy, active, and well cared for. I especially appreciated her family-centered approach to pet sitting—it made such a difference knowing Loki was treated like part of the family. We’re so grateful for the love and care they gave him and will absolutely be booking with Cynthia again!”
“Vanda has watched Bridger multiple times now and every time she takes such good care of him! He always comes back happy and tired, exactly what you want as a dog parent!”
“This was Santana's 2nd stay with Allison, Gordon and Moses. He was very happy and excited to see Allison when we arrived and soon went looking for his BFF, Moses. He's obviously gotten attached to this loving family. Allison was ready to greet Santana when we arrived and had his belongings all packed and ready to go at our appointed pick up time. I feel very much at ease leaving him in Allison & Gordon's care. They show a lot of love and caring to my little guy and are very professional and conscientious. Thank you Allison and Gordon for another great experience. You're the best!”
“Shao took wonderful care of our pup Drogo while we were on vacation, and honestly it seemed like Drogo was on vacation too. She sent us tons of photos and videos throughout, which made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy our trip. Drogo clearly adored her. We’d book Shao again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her!”
“We couldn't have been happier with Alvin and his family, which is why we booked them for a second time without hesitation! After such a fantastic first stay, we knew Doc would be thrilled to see his buddy Sterling again. Alvin provides such a warm, caring, and safe environment that Doc truly feels like he's at a home away from home. As someone who used to fly with my dog, it's an incredible relief to know I can now drop him off with a sitter I completely trust. I can't recommend Alvin enough. He's an amazing sitter, and we're so grateful to have found him!”
“Thanks to her care, my first long trip was a great success. I didn’t worry at all while I was away. Also my little dog loves her! Thank you so much for everything!! I’ll definitely book with her again in the future when she’s available :)”
“Marie is amazing. This was a last-minute booking on my part and she had never met my dog before. She won him over quickly, has a lot of experience with dogs, and even took initiative to give Willy Wonka a small haircut around his eyes because I haven't had time to maintain him. He was in very good hands with her and her communication was stellar!”
“I’m so glad that I found Irene! The care and communication she provides gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She provided frequent photos and updates of how my doggo was doing. When I came to pick up Ollie, he seems to have already grown attached to Irene and Sean. Will definitely book again!”
“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
“Maria was great. Really kind, caring, communicative, and she did great with my dog who is sometimes difficult. Thank you Maria, I will definitely contact you again for dog-sitting in the future.”
“Sin made our vacation so much better by giving us multiple updates and photos of our cat. He had a great time and even made some new friends. It’s great to know that he was in good hands while we were away.”
About: I am huge dog lover! I’ve volunteered at my local dog shelter, ILoveFamilyDog, for 3+ years. There I was responsible for walking small and large dogs, cleaning kennels, washing dog bowls/ laundry, and picking up dog droppings. I also have experience dog sitting / walking for family and friends during my free time. During this time I was able to provide hygiene care by grooming the dogs, ensure timely meals 2-3 times a day, and apply appropriate medication following veterinary instructions. I would be able to do dog care or walk every weekday from 10 am - 5pm. My schedule is pretty flexible, so let me know what time and routine works best for you. I am available for house sitting and dog walking service. When dog boarding, I will provide the dog with appropriate meals and water throughout the day and take them out for regular walk (depending on their potty schedule). I will also make sure all toys, dishes and kennels are clean prior to my departure. Lastly making sure the dog has plenty of love and care throughout their stay! During walks, I will ensure your fluffy companion is leashed and not left outside unattended. Public cleanliness is also important, so I will clean up after any droppings or messes the dog makes during the walk. If you'd like care at your home, I will keep your place and pet clean before and after my visit and lock your place upon leaving.
“Luke was so great with Garbanzo! He has two other pups Roo and Pickles who get along well with other dogs. He sent me lots of photos of the dogs tired after long days of fun at the dog park.”
“Eevee had a lovely stay with Nancy and her sweet pup Nala! We received daily updates about her day while we were away and she got plenty of exercise & love:) We were able to enjoy our trip worry free and came back to a happy pup. Thank you for taking good care of our sweet girl! ❤️”
“Renee and Chris took excellent care of my dog — a newly adopted rescue. He has stayed with them two times. They were very patient and loving as he gained confidence in a new setting, and provided frequent updates and pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Mimi and her partner Wilson took such incredible care of Kobe. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely comfortable knowing he was getting so much love, attention, and genuine care. They kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me huge peace of mind, and it was obvious Kobe was happy, relaxed, and well looked after. You can tell they truly care about the dogs they watch and treat them like family. I’m very particular about who I trust with Kobe, and I would absolutely book with them again. 10/10 experience, highly recommend to anyone looking for caring, reliable sitters.”
“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”
About: I have been a caregiver for animals for 16 years, I love animals as they bring joy to my family and myself. I enjoy giving walking, feeding, playing and giving them bubble baths. Treats are also a must!! I’m currently home full time, so your pet will have all the attention it needs and deserves. My day starts early so I can take all of the dogs on their morning walk. I have a fully fenced yard and 2 fury friends for your pet to play with safely. All animals sleep indoors and if crating is required that can be provided as well. I will be the sole caregiver giver of all pets.

Arani and Nupur watched our corgi, Chippy, on back-to-back weekends while we were away for weddings, and they absolutely exceeded our expectations. Before booking, we had a meet-and-greet where they took the time to really understand Chippy’s schedule, personality, and quirks. After we booked with them the first time, they also sent us a questionnaire, which made us feel like they genuinely wanted to get to know him and make sure they could care for him properly. By the end of the meet-and-greet and questionnaire, we felt confident that they had a clear understanding of Chippy. Throughout both stays, they sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Chippy also warmed up to them incredibly quickly. After we dropped him off the first time, he happily walked away with them without even looking back, practically smiling as he headed off with his new Rovers! He was equally happy and content when we picked him up both times. Arani and Nupur are now our go-to sitters, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They’re thoughtful, communicative, attentive, and clearly wonderful with dogs. We feel very lucky to have found them!
Derrick was fantastic with Floyd and Snoopy during their five-day stay! 🐶🐶 He did a great job making sure both dogs’ individual wants and needs were taken care of, and we really appreciated how attentive he was to them. When Floyd had an upset stomach during the stay, Derrick communicated with us right away and kept us updated, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. ❤️ We felt very confident knowing they were in his care, especially since this was our first time using a sitter after just moving to the area. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience! Derrick was dependable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure both dogs were happy and comfortable. 🐾 We’re really looking forward to having him as our go-to dog sitter and feel lucky to have found someone we can trust! ⭐️
Rosanne has shown exceptional care from the first day we dropped her off until the last day we had picked her up. She communicated with us with text and photos throughout each day on her adjustment, feeding, walking and behavior to a new environment. Rosanne was knowledgeable in finding ways to feed Zoe when she wasn’t eating or drinking. Rosanne followed our schedule and made adjustments when needed. She had open communication with us regarding Zoe’s day. Zoe’s daily care and comfort from morning until evening was Rosanne’s top priority! I would rate Rosanne a 5 plus with another care opportunity!
Guidi was so amazing I couldn’t thank her enough! My dog is reactive to other dogs so she didn’t take other bookings at the same time to make me feel comfortable. She sent pictures day and night and when my flights got delayed was extremely accommodating. She let me know when he got picked up he had a little cough and was concerned and to keep an eye out (but it was just because he pulls). She is so amazing and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!
Can't say enough about Celina and her care for our two dogs. She was supper attentive, communicative and flexible. Her home setup is perfect with plenty of safe space to play outdoors. It's clear Celina goes above and beyond for the pets in her care, and we wouldn't hesitate to leave our babies with her again anytime.
Tara and Kevin took such great care of our dog, Butter. They are both so friendly and clearly love animals. I felt reassured knowing they were taking good care of him. Tara and Kevin were life savers for us when our flight got cancelled and we needed to extend Butter's stay. Their communication and updates on Butter were incredibly helpful and appreciated. We hope to have Butter stay with Tara in the future and highly recommend her care!
Luke was awesome. My pup Casper loved him immediately, like he was an old friend. And I could tell that he really cared about dogs. He sent lots of photos of Casper and his own dogs on long walks or playing together, which gave me huge peace of mind that my dog was in good hands. I’d recommend Luke to anyone, and would happily return for pet sitting. I’m sure Casper would love another pet weekend getaway too.
Nala had stayed with Wei for a weekend before, but leaving her for 16 days while we were abroad was a completely different story! I was definitely anxious, especially since Nala is still a puppy, but Wei made it so much easier. She kept me updated the whole time, and I could tell Nala was happy, comfortable, and having the best time with her. I picked up a very happy and healthy little girl today! 🥰 Of course I’m soooo happy to have my baby back, but it also feels really good knowing we have someone we can trust to take such good care of her when we’re away. Thank you, Wei!
Sin did a great job with our pups. I'm very uptight about their care and left a full page of instructions/tips which was probably over the top, but she humored me and I didn't worry about them the entire time we were gone. I appreciate her attention to detail with our senior girls!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
92% of sitters in Colma can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Colma 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 Colma.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Colma 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.
