“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!”
“Renee and Christopher feels like a second home for Jeffrey. We absolutely love the way they care for him when we are away. Thank you both for another wonderful stay with you.”
“Cynthia and her family were wonderful with our dog Bruce. I got many beautiful update pictures of him and text updates. It made me feel very confident in the environment he was being cared for in. He looked very happy playing with Cynthia’s other pets. He almost didn’t want to leave. Thanks Cynthia and we’ll be back again!”
“Gordon and Allison are two of the most friendly people I have ever met. They have a great home where Sadie will be safe and well cared for. They asked many questions about Sadie and handled the business very professionally. I knew I had picked the right place after the meet and greet. The secure property is great so I didn't have to worry about Sadie getting lost or stolen. Gordon and Allison took photos and sent me notes daily about how Sadie was doing during her stay. I was late in picking Sadie up due to transportation and Gordon and Allison were great about the delay. I truly appreciated there understanding my problem. ”
“Marie and her family were so amazing and took such good care of our little guy! We also ran into some travel delays and they were so accommodating which we could not be more grateful for. Definitely recommend!”
“Wei is a great host! Our booking was last minute. Wei arranged a meetup just one day before boarding so we could check out whether our dog would be fine with the new environment. She shared statue and photos during the stay. We really appreciate her care and will definitely consider another booking next time!”
“It's a second time Sierra has stayed with Kazu and Yuko and she had an amazing time. We appreciated all the updates and care given to her. And she loved going for the walks, to the dog park and playing with the other guests.”
“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!”
“Thiago took the best care of Rudy this past long weekend. Rudy got a ton of play time and TLC and Thiago kept me updated and sent photos every day. Thiago is also easy to reach and a great communicator. I feel that my pup is in great hands!!! Thank you Thiago!”
“Sandra and Jose were excellent with my two girls - Ellie and Lucy. They were patient, kind, and attentive with them and they sent many updates regarding how they were getting along and settling in. I highly recommend them and I will definitely be using them again for future stays.”
“Mimi was very attentive to my dog. I was camping and so out of cell phone coverage, so she contacted Rover support for questions when my older dog was having difficulty. I would feel very safe having Mimi care for my pet. She did her best to give my dog options for exercise and for time outdoors. I am grateful Mimi took care of her.”
“Julley was very communicative and I had no doubt after meeting her and her two pups that she would be able to provide the care and concern I’d hope for while watching my fur baby. She will be the first person I think of the next time I need a dog sitter.”
“I think Ellie found a new friend. I was afraid at first that she might not handle Ellies excitement but to my surprise she did it very well. I can Ellie is relaxed with the pictures shes sending me. Ellie even got a christmas present! thanks Sin! so far the best we got! Will definitely be back! Thanks Sin!”
“Vanda was absolutely fabulous! Choppa was very happy being there, as Vanda sent me many photos and a couple videos during his stay. Her loving demeanor and kindness towards Choppa shone through and I would love for her to keep my pup anytime.”
“David is sweet and kind and made us feel at ease for a week with our Mars. He sent photos and give us updates that made us feel that Mars was feeling right at home. Mars can be reactive with strangers so we gave David the whole rundown on his triggers.”
“Shao was amazing. Teddy loved her right away and enjoyed his time with her and the other pups. Will definitely book again next time I will be out of town and can’t take my sweet Teddy boy with me.”
About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. After losing my beloved dog earlier this year, I realized how much I miss having dogs in my daily life. I work in a pediatric dental office supporting children of all abilities. This experience has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to adapt to each individual's unique needs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines, and comfort levels, and I will treat your pup with the same kindness, love and care I had for my own pet. Weekends are dedicated to spending time with your furry family members. I work mostly from Monday to Thursday but I'm available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. Whether I care for your dog in my home or yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved. I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood, and I have parks near me, which allows me to provide regular exercise and outdoor time. As an active person, I enjoy taking dogs on walks and making sure they get plenty of attention. When caring for dogs in a client's home, I carefully follow their established routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions.
“Yining took incredible care of my dog Milo over an 8 day stay. I received a lot of updates, and I had full confidence that Milo was very happy having his own vacation! He and Electra (Yining’s pup) became fast friends and played a ton. Milo also had extra fancy meals and enrichment activities the entire time! I can’t wait to book Yining again.”
“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! ❤️”

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!
Derrick was an incredible sitter for our two pups Kuma and Scrappy. They both require a little more care and attention than the average dogs and Derrick made us feel at ease at every step. Professional and prompt communication, flexibility, and a genuine willingness to learn how to best take care of our pups were things that stuck out to me. I’ll definitely be looking to him for future boarding opportunities!
Catherine was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! This was his first time ever staying with a sitter outside of my family, so I was definitely a little nervous, but she made me feel completely at ease. She sent me photos and updates and it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable he was with her. She was also very attentive to all of his little quirks and needs, which I really appreciated. Bentley came home happy and I could tell he had a great time! I feel so much better knowing I have someone I can trust with him and would absolutely recommend Catherine to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pup. We already have his next stay booked with her and I feel so much more at ease knowing he’ll be in great hands! 😊
The loving care and attention that Mimi and Wilson gave to Brahmi while we were away was priceless. We appreciated every picture and text, as they gave us complete reassurance that he was in good hands. Seeing him so comfortable and happy meant everything to us. We appreciate both of you so much!
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!
They take great care of the dogs! I appreciate that they didn’t charge extra to give my dog her meds daily. Yuko always gives feedback on our dog, for which I’m grateful. And I love that they send regular videos of not just my dog but of the others - they are all so cute!
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Valentina! ❤️ She took such amazing care of Jasper and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She was also incredibly accommodating when we had a last-minute change to our plans. We really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work with us! And the fact that Jasper actually went on a walk with her dog, Dexter, is nothing short of remarkable! 🥹 That’s a first for him! 🙌 Thank you, Valentina, for your patience, kindness, and for making Jasper feel so comfortable. We’re already hoping to book with you again in the future. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yining was so sweet to my Plutos. She had a great time and Electra made good company for my baby. Yining made sure to keep up with my dog’s high active spirit and had lots of metal work games for my dog to do. She gave her nice cooked meals and lots of treats. Yining was very attentive and followed my care instructions to a T. I would definitely book with Yining if I need another dog sitter in the future.
Just got home from picking my dog up after a weekend spent with Delia. Delia did a great job and sent tons of photos and updates all weekend. My dog looked like she had a blast and Delia was fabulous. She took such good care of my little baby, making sure to follow her routine with food and potty breaks. Will definitely use Delia again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Colma on Rover is $46.28 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,560 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Colma sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Colma landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 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.
