“Leaving your dog with someone can always be stressful, but once I met Allison and her husband, Gordon, I was instantly at ease. You can tell that they truly care about your pet. Not only do they care about your pet, but their well behaved dog, Moses, will care about your pet too! He is very friendly and loves to make new friends. I own a larger dog and their yard and house allows plenty of space for your bigger dog to run around and relax. Also the line of communication with them went above and beyond. Another great attribute that will help put you at ease while you enjoy your vacation. Each day I had several uploaded pictures to look at, and seeing his happy face allowed me to continue my trip worry free. I wouldn't hesitate to book my dog with them again. ”
“Cynthia and her family were great dog sitters. I got constant updates and videos/pictures. My dog looked so happy on the walks and being able to spend time outside in their spacious backyard. I felt so comfortable leaving her there for a long weekend and will definitely book with Cynthia again.”
“Sandra and Jose were great with Louie who seemed to have adjusted very quickly to them. They constantly sent photos of Louie and updated me daily. They also have a great space in their backyard for the dogs to play in which I thought was great. I highly recommend Sandra and Jose!”
“Mimi and Wilson were great caretakers of my dog Nala (60 lb german shepherd mix) during an 11 night stay over the holidays. Nala is very hesitant in new spaces and Mimi and Wilson were super accommodating - moving all her things to the room she was most comfortable in and hanging out in there with her as well. I received daily pupdates and pictures and was at ease knowing she was enjoying her stay. Thanks Mimi and Wilson!”
“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.”
About: ⭐️ Certified Pet CPR/First Aid ⭐️ Specialty: Senior Pets ⭐️ Updates with photos and videos ⭐️ Personalized Activity Form Hi, I'm Celeste! 🩵 I'm an Anthropology student at San Francisco State University, and a volunteer at the California Academy of Sciences. I've loved animals my entire life and believe every pet deserves kindness, patience, and respect. My studies and volunteer work have deepened my appreciation for animals and conservation. I provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care to each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior needing gentle care, I'll follow their routine carefully and treat them like family while you're away. 🩷 Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time to each pet I care for. Beginning in late August, I'll be attending San Francisco State University, but I've arranged my class schedule to maintain availability throughout the week. I prioritize reliability, punctuality, and consistent communication, ensuring every pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll always keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. 🐾 I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I share my home with two young cats, one senior cat with a disability, and one senior dog, so I understand that every pet has unique needs. My pets are friendly and well-socialized, and I have a secure yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. I'm Pet CPR and First Aid certified through the American Red Cross and have experience providing patient, gentle care to senior and special-needs pets. I'll also send regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. ✨
“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!”
“We are so grateful to have Katie and her partner take care of Lemon. She sends cute photos and anecdotes of our dog and I know she is well loved while we are away. We will definitely rebook her services again!”
“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!”
“David took great care of Izzy! Despite her being older and sometimes cranky, she seemed very comfortable when we came to pick her up. David followed all our instructions for Izzy and made her stay very pleasant. Thanks David!”
“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.”
“Kitty and Austin were amazing! They took such great care of our pup over a long holiday weekend. We really appreciated all the updates and photos. Our pup was in great hands and I would not hesitate to book their services again. Thank you Kitty and Austin!”
“Cannot reconnect this sitter more. She’s very attentive and genuinely cares for the pets she sits. She watched Lily for 2 weeks and provided daily updates and pictures and great walks. I felt completely at ease leaning Lily with her”
“Yvonne and her partner took such good care of Benny! He barely wanted to leave. lol She provided frequent updates and made sure he got plenty of exercise. Thanks for everything <3”
“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.”
“Winnie had a wonderful time with Melissa! It was only Winnie's second time staying overnight away from home, and Melissa's care, proactive communication, and photos put me at ease while traveling. Winnie came home happy and well-cared for, and I am so appreciative!”
“Vivian and her amazing roommate were extraordinary sitters for Fluffy. I had a previous experience where the boarding facility he was staying at - lost him. And so I was rather nervous to leave him for an extended period of time. Even though they had him for a couple of weeks, Vivian was so communicative and sent so many photos, I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. He came back happy, and looking great! I can't recommend Vivian enough!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Jaynine’s care and attention for our dog. She goes the extra mile every time to ensure our dog is comfortable and happy during the stay.”
“Karen and Jeffrey are fantastic. We rescued our puppy Cricket over Thanksgiving, and I was so nervous to have to leave her with someone while we traveled across country for Christmas. But she was in great hands! They worked with her on walking on a leash, going potty while out on walks, and even taught her how to sit! Cricket also made a new friend in their dog Boba! They sent regular updates, photos and videos that kept me at ease knowing she was doing so well. I will not hesitate to leave Cricket in their care again in the future!”

Kyra had a wonderful time staying with Drewan and Gregg. They took such good care of her, and she was clearly very comfortable staying in their home. They were amazing at communicating, and gave us regular updates about how she was eating, sleeping, and exploring. They were incredibly conscientious, asked a lot of questions, and followed all of her care instructions to the letter. She looked so happy in all the pictures and videos, and was relaxed and happy when she got home. We absolutely would not hesitate to have her stay with them in the future, and she can't wait for her next vacation with them!
Kami and Matt were amazing sitters for my fuzzy buddy. I have rarely left him with anyone else, he travels with me everywhere, but wasn't allowed in the country I was going to. Even with the timezone difference I still got amazing updates/pics. And my Furball absolutely loves them!! 100000% recommend! He asks for a lot of human affection and he def got it with these two!!! Thanks guys!!
Tara was amazing! My dog leans quite anxious so I always get nervous dropping him off with new sitters, but she was so patient with both him and me and so kind. She listened to all my particular requests for him, and I felt very safe and assured leaving him in her hands. My dog loved his stay, 10/10 sitter and will definitely be taking him to her again!
Renee and Christopher are so loving to our senior dog Jeffrey and they care for him like their own. They keep us informed of Jeffrey’s day. Jeffrey is always content and that makes me happy. When Jeffrey stays with Renee and Christopher I can get away knowing he is in good hands.
My dog was very happy to stay with her. She took him on walks and managed to feed my very picky dog lacking him less picky. She is patient and sent pictures of him every day to make sure that he was okay. I would let her take care my dog again next time if I go vacation.
Guidi was so sweet and attentive! I was looking for a last minute dog sitter and she got back to me so quickly. She gave my dog many walks, a lot of comfort and love to help him adjust to the new environment. She sent me updates everyday (videos and pics) and was great at communicating. I would definitely hire her again :)
We can't thank Victoria enough for taking such amazing care of Mimi while we were away! It was so special knowing Mimi got to spend time with other Cavaliers in such a loving, welcoming environment. Victoria kept us updated with the cutest photos throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Mimi was happy, well cared for and having a wonderful time. Thank you again for everything you did!! We truly appreciate you and highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for an exceptional sitter! ☺️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Colma on Rover is $45.51 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,491 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.
