“Marie Elenore was amazing with my pup, but also with me as I was running late for the scheduled time. 🐶🐾 Very accommodating. 👍😊 Crinkle definitely had a blast with her. 🎉🥳 Thank you! 🙏💖”
“Cynthia and her family were the best. Very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She sent us multiple pictures and videos throughout the day which made me feel at ease. I was so happy to see that Amaru had fun and enjoyed his stay. Will definitely book with Cynthia again and am so happy to find a new dog sitter for Amaru close to home. Thank you so much for everything!!”
“Gordon and his family took really good care of my Oliver. It was his first time visiting the family and he was there for four hours and seemed very comfortable when I picked him up. I’m looking forward to the next visit.”
“We brought our 6 month old golden retriever Lily to Jade's for doggy daycare. Lily had so much fun! Jade fed her lunch, played with her, let her play in the water (it was a hot day), and oversaw her interactions with the other dogs. Jade was kind, punctual, and communicative. I highly recommend her.”
“Malcom was very professional and took care of Frodo, our Pembroke Welsh Corgi for two consecutive days as a day care service. He sent updates regularly and Frodo was super happy when we picked him up. I definitely recommend Malcom to anyone is looking a great service”
“Great job taking care of our dog. Christopher is very responsive and communicated with us effectively to update us on our dog status. He is also very kind and considerate”
“Irene loves dogs so much and is so attentive to dogs’ needs! She is so patient with dogs like mine that can be a little needy or a bit troublesome at times. She’s a great choice for watching all kinds of dogs but especially ones that need just a little bit more attention.”
About: *Please read under “A Typical Day” for more information on pack walks! I would love to have your pup join! 🐕🐩 ** Due to landlord’s request, I can only board dogs 40lbs and smaller. My pup gets very anxious/scared of certain breeds, to ensure the safety of all dogs, I will no longer be able to board French Bulldogs, Pit Bulls, American Bullies, Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Terriers, Cane Corsos, Viszlas, Large Doodles and German Shepards** Apologies for any inconvenience this may bring. I have raised animals all my life- ranging from cats, dogs, fish, hamsters and even lizards! I own a 2 year old small mixed pup who makes a great playmate! I have volunteered for my local SPCA for several years and helped foster and trap feral kitties for a healthy future. I currently walk dogs and worked part time at a dog hotel so I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes, ages and needs. DROP OFF/PICK UP: Due to landlord's request, dogs must be dropped off no earlier than 7am and picked up no later than 10pm. I am very flexible if plans change and would be more than happy to accommodate to new changes in pickup/drop off times as long as they are in this time frame. If anything changes, please let me know at least a day before. I currently freelance and walk dogs full time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pup! My dogs make great playmates if your dog has a lot of energy or can get anxious! I take the dogs out every 2-3 hours to ensure they have plenty of potty breaks, playtime and time to sniff! I have a large fenced in yard (photos provided) to ensure your dog has a lot of space to run around and explore. If your dog needs a morning and/or evening walk please let me know! COMPLEMENTARY BATH: Having taken my past dogs to boardings and worked at a dog hotel, I understand how smelly/dirty some pups can get when they are having fun. Due to this, I happily offer complimentary baths for those stays that are 7 days or longer! If you dog has anxiety around baths, let me know, I would be happy to try for a wipe down and brushing as a substitution. SENIOR/DISABLED PUPS: I have a soft spot for my senior pups! Unfortunately due to past incidents, I can no longer take on dogs that are older than 12 years of age. I apologize for any inconvenience! If your dog is a senior or has mobility issues, please let me know prior to booking. The living part of my home is on the second floor so there are stairs. I am more than happy to carry and assist your pet if needed, just let me know! If your dog wears diapers or has trouble with their bladder, I am more than happy to have them wear diapers or put pee pads on the floor- please bring them. I do have some disposable ones just in case! I also have a pet stroller if your little guy likes to get fresh air and wants to go on walks with my pups! Currently, I work part time Friday-Sunday in the morning, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup! We will start our day by going in the backyard to get some exercise/ bathroom breaks. As soon as your pup gets back inside, I will prep their breakfast and separate them during feeding time. If you dog takes a morning walk, we will do so after around the quiet neighborhood. I take the dogs out every two/three hours or more if needed to ensure they get plenty of time outdoors! We love the beach! Your furry friend may be seen there on multiple occasions throughout their stay :) I have a large, double fenced backyard and monitor the dogs at all times when they are outside. Because some dogs can be food aggressive, I ALWAYS separate dogs during meal time.
“Renee and Christopher are wonderful. My senior dog loves going to stay with them. They are loving and kind and accommodating to my dog’s eating needs. It is such a relief to know our dog Jeffrey is in good hands when we are away. They provide me with photos and anecdotes throughout the day.”
“Tiffany is super communicative and flexible! Dallas seemed to enjoy his time staying with her and he seems tired out when we pick him up because she often walks him or takes him to the park. Would 100% recommend :)”
About: Natural dog whisperer. Meet my dogs and you'll see. They were both rescues with issues but are now great. Every dog I've dog sat or walked has now become a repeat customer or booked another stay this summer! We go to the dog park everyday and at least 1 super long walk. I'm a former research engineer and now just spend my days with my dogs. Figure we could use some company going to the dog park and dog beach I have an apartment with patio. I take my dogs out very often because I prefer being outdoors and exploring nature and all the trails
“Thanks to Rachel and Ryan for the last minute help wit my Starla. There updates were very assuring and there love for dogs shows. I would definitely recommend these two kind folks to anyone!”
About: I always love pets, had dogs, cats and birds growing up. We have a 2 year Aussie and a 5 year old cat at home. we are looking forward for playful dog to play with our baby dog. I'm home most of the time, we provide • Kong toy with fresh fruit (goat yogurt filling) • Sniff toys with treats • Meal topping from scratch everyday (meat options: beef/ shrimp/ goat with 2 veggies) • Shower before pickup (3+night stay) I don’t use crates, allowing pets to roam freely inside or in the backyard. We have a cute yard with trees to allow dogs play and sniff, 2 long walks(40min- 1 hour) per day usually 8 am and 4 pm.
“Mimi was fantastic with our little pup! She was super responsive and able to accomodate last minute booking, sent me great updates throughout the day, and I would definitely book with her again!”
“Pinky loves her time with Shao. She gets the attention she needs and Pinky wants it all the time. Shao always keeps me updated on her throughout the day with pictures and videos. It makes me happy that she is happy with Shao and knowing Pinky is being taken care of so great!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, so taking care of them feels natural to me. Growing up, we had a poodle-terrier mix who was full of energy, and more recently, I’ve been helping out with my brother’s husky whenever he’s out of town. I totally get the quirks and needs of both small and large breeds. Plus, I’ve looked after my friend’s two golden retrievers, which was such a fun experience. I genuinely love dogs and have a lot of patience and understanding for them. I think all of that makes me a pretty solid choice if you’re looking for someone to care for your pup. I work full-time remotely, and so does my husband, so we’re home throughout the day. My schedule is super flexible, which means I can easily take breaks to step outside for quick 10-minute walks around the house for potty breaks. Being home all day allows me to give plenty of attention and care to your dog while fitting their needs into my routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m pretty easygoing about them being on the furniture—I cover my couches just in case. If your dog prefers or needs to be crated, I’m happy to accommodate that and make any adjustments necessary to help them feel secure. I aim to create a safe, stress-free environment where your dog can feel right at home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Colma
We've had an amazing experience with Gordon and Allison. We have an anxious rescue pom with incontinence that's controlled via medication. She has to go potty more often than most pups due to her incontinence. We're always nervous about leaving her with other folks. When we did our initial meet and greet, Gordon shared their process with us and asked a lot of thoughtful questions to get to know us and Rose better. During her first few days and weeks with them, they paid close attention to her and shared details with us on how she was doing, which we truly appreciated. They're very easy going, communicative, and flexible. Rose has now been going to doggie daycare about twice a week (sometimes 3x) for a month and a half. She gets very excited to see Gordon, Allison, and family. She's never been this excited for doggie daycare or boarding. We're so happy that we've found someone who we can trust and who Rose truly enjoys being around. They truly care about Rose and it shows. I feel like it's rare to find someone who cares about your pet as much as you do. Thank you for treating Rose like family!
We had a wonderful experience Marie Elenore! She was available on very short notice for doggie day sitting and was incredibly responsive and flexible, including with our later pickup times. She sent us lots of photos and videos throughout the day. Most importantly, Archie seemed completely comfortable and happy with her home. We’d absolutely book with her again!
I just adopted a new dog 3 days ago from the shelter who I learned has very bad separation anxiety. My only option was a dog sitter or doggy day care. Kim was extremely accommodating accepting my request only the night prior. I was nervous about leaving my baby with someone we didn't know but Kim soothed those worries in a heartbeat. She sent updates and pictures throughout their time. She was so sweet and I know Milo was in loving hands. I will definitely book with Kim again!
Kami and her boyfriend were such a pleasure to meet! We had to find a sitter last minute and they were so awesome and accommodating. We were able to do a meet and greet the day prior to having them dog sit and it couldn't have gone better. Their communication, flexibility, and care for our dog was beyond what we could expect! If we bring our dog back to the city, no doubt we will reach out to them!!
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Renee and Christopher for Chewy’s daycare. They’re easy to work with, send frequent updates, and are clearly very thoughtful dog lovers — our senior dog Chewy seems so happy and comfortable in their home. Chewy often takes a while to warm up to new people, but they were quick to get a read on his personality and have made him feel at ease. When we go to drop him off he usually runs right in without looking back!
After the meet and greet, I felt comfortable with Christopher caring for Beau for the day. He answered any questions I had and I would recommend him. Beau seemed in good spirits when I picked him up and I feel confident asking Christopher to care for Beau in the future.
Henrianna was very accommodating and was very responsive for a last minute booking we made! Henrianna made sure we had enough time to ask questions prior to our doggy daycare reservation booking. Updates and photos/videos of our beagle pup Lemmie were received frequently throughout the day. Lemmie had a great time! He misses his new doggy/kitty friends!

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 Colma 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 4,471 sitters in Colma, 87% 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.
