“Renee and Christopher took excellent care of Bear during his recent stay. They were very caring and attentive to our senior dog and sent daily photos and updates. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Marie is a star dog sitter, she made my dog part of her family. She bathed my dog, switched up his food Without me asking when he became picky while I was traveling. I received more photos and videos of my dog than I have ever received with a babysitter for my three human children. This was an incredible experience I will be choosing Marie every time we travel.”
“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.”
“Sin is a great sitter! Extremely communicative and checks in when needed. My pup can be on the skittish side yet she’s comfortable in Sin’s care. Definitely recommend Sin!”
“We’ve used Vanda multiple times with Bridger and every time he is so well taken care of! He comes back happy and tired and I can tell he’s getting a lot of love while he’s there. Would recommend her thoroughly!”
“Absolutely the best! They are very caring, enthusiastic, and responsible. Charlie, our poodle, liked playing with their dogs in the fenced back yard. Also they kept in touch and sent reports and photos. We will rebook with them in the future.”
“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! ❤️”
“We had a wonderful experience with Tara! Tara was great with our dog, Koda, during a week long stay over the holidays. She was clearly caring and responsible, and followed all of the instructions we provided. Tara was also very communicative throughout the stay and regularly shared photo updates, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely love to have Koda stay with her again.”
“Thiago made it easy and kept us in the loop. While we were away for a week he sent us photos of Rally and a little blurb about what she did that day every afternoon. He has a big yard for the dogs to run around in and Rally was never alone, always having other dogs to play with as he keeps a couple at a time. Thiago was very responsive and when we asked for a pic of Rally relaxed he made it his personal mission to capture one.”
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”
“This was awesome. I had never left my pup with anyone in a long time and this was so reassuring! Yingxin sent me so many photos. It helped ease my anxiety being away from my dog while in vacation. I would 100% leave my dog with her again.”
About: Hello! My name is Luisa and I've been a loyal dog sitter for the past 4 years to a sweet Shih Tzu. I also own a Shih Tzu myself. I have a variety of experience working in others homes (housekeeping, child care and private chef). If you have a full time job and hate leaving your fur baby alone, you'll be out of town/overnight, or just need someone to check in for walks and food, I would love to help! I’m extremely open and flexible with my time, as long as there is enough notice. I babysit outside the home once a week and have an active healthy lifestyle (the more walking the better!) I have a large & safe fenced backyard. My home interior is well kept and always clean (hardwood floors throughout). I provide lots of care and attention (talking and petting!)
“Jade was an amazing dog sitter with our Valentino! I am so relieved we found her. She’s a very attentive sitter and will definitely treat your dog like one of her family members. She was great about giving regular updates of our dog and we could tell he was having a great time with her family. You will not be disappointed!”
“David and Heather are experienced and caring dog owners. Zeke, their mature Beagle, is calm and friendly. The house ideally located to nearby parks for walks. They listened and took into account our dog's habits to help the transition to a new environment. David was very responsive and communicates as needed. We would leave our dog with David and Heather anytime!”
“Our young doodle had an amazing 3-night stay with Kira & her sweet dog. She & her husband went above & beyond our expectations caring for Jack over Christmas. He looked like he was having so much fun in Kira’s thoughtful updates & photos, we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home to us!”
“Allison is such an amazing sitter! I booked her for 9 days of boarding for my senior pup, Butters. He requires a few oral medications and eye drops that need to be given at very specific times. She followed all of my instructions perfectly. She even took him to play frisbee almost every day which was above and beyond. I mentioned to her that I usually take him as that’s his favorite sport and she sent me daily videos of them playing frisbee at the park. She also sent great pics/videos and daily updates without me having to remind her. Butters usually complains to me after I leave him at boarding for too long with past sitters. But this time he barely complained and it was one of the longest ones we’ve done! He was happy and healthy when I picked him up. She’s awesome, don’t hesitate to book her!”
“Its always great to work with David. David is excellent communicator with humans AND dogs. My dog Ziggy is always calm going to David's home - which is a great testament to the quality of work David puts in to take care of our pets while we travel.”
“Erica and her daughter were so sweet to our elderly pup! He got along swimmingly with their sweet baby and it appeared they had a great time playing and snuggling. Thank you for providing so many updates and pictures of their time together. Gus came home happy and relaxed, which doesn’t always happen when we leave. Thank you Erica! :)”

Teddy had a fantastic stay. Although she can tend to be a bit nervous, she was very comfortable and had so much fun during her time here. Cynthia was great at sending photos of all the fun Teddy had, and I will certainly come back anytime I need her watched in the future.
Catherine and her husband were amazing with Bentley! I’m so grateful for the love and care they gave him over the weekend. Catherine kept me updated with photos, which I always appreciate! It means so much knowing Bentley is happy and being so well taken care of while I’m away. I’m so thankful to have found such wonderful people to care for Bentley and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both so much! 🫶🏼
Whitney took great care of Honey for us! She accommodated our last-minute booking, communicated wonderfully throughout, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Honey with her. We’ll definitely book with her again, and I’m sure Honey will be excited to go back!
Julie and Herman worked out perfectly for our trip to the Bay Area. Our Kimbo needed special attention being a 13 year old. They understood his needs and addressed it right away. They are attentive to your text which made things comforting and reliable. We definitely will request Julie and Herman on future Bay Area visits.
Julianne was a great sitter! We are very picky on who dog sits Cody because he's really old, fragile, and has special needs, and Julianne followed all of our care guidelines. She sent lots of pictures and updates while we were away. Our little guy loved his stay, and we will, for sure, be booking Julianne in the future! Thanks again, Julianne!
Kim was great with Peanut. I was traveling out of the country and she sent me photos every day. She took Peanut on lots of walks and excursions. I could tell he had a good time with her. He came home exhausted and happy. I can wholeheartedly recommend Kim as a sitter for your fur babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Colma is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $87 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,487 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Colma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
93% 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, 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.
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 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 , 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 .
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.
