“Maria was absolutely wonderful! She dropped by to check on my cats, cleaned out their litter boxes, and spent plenty of time giving them love and pets. She was super friendly, followed all care instructions, and kept me updated. Fantastic communication and care. I would love to hire her again and highly recommend her!”
“She looked after our 2 9-month old cats and was super responsive and amazing. Pictures every day with an excellent eye for potential problems, such as vomit and a powered off feeder due to an outage. Our cats loved her also!”
“We could not be happier with K Zin. She is incredibly organized, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. Every visit was managed with precision and care, and it really showed up in how comfortable and happy our cat Kooty was. Kooty would wait for K Zin to arrive and start purring and rolling on the floor, which says everything. We feel very lucky to have found K Zin and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and truly dedicated. Oh, and she sent us tons of pictures.”
“Simonee did 3 drop in visits for our dogs and did an awesome job. My dog even had an accident in his crate and she cleaned it all up without complaining! Super awesome at communicating and great with our pups! Will definitely use her again!”
About: ⭐️ Certified Pet CPR/First Aid ⭐️ 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. ✨
About: I have had dogs my entire life and understand the love, attention, and care they deserve as members of the family. In addition to my personal experience, I previously worked at a dog boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also volunteered at Pets Unlimited in San Francisco, where I helped care for animals and gained additional experience working with pets in a professional setting. I currently have a friendly Golden Retriever named Whiskey, who is well-socialized and enjoys the company of other dogs. I have also successfully boarded dogs in my home with Whiskey and always prioritize safe introductions and a comfortable environment for everyone. My goal is to provide your pet with the same level of care, attention, and affection that I give my own dog, so you can feel confident they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available on weekends and can provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys relaxing at home, playing, or getting out for adventure, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I love spending time outdoors and can take dogs on walks, hikes, and other fun activities to help them stay active and engaged. I also have a friendly Golden Retriever named Whiskey who loves meeting other dogs. If your pup enjoys canine companionship, Whiskey is a great playmate and helps create a welcoming, social environment. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and has a great time while in my care. I live in a townhouse community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and several nearby walking trails for exercise and enrichment. Dogs in my care receive regular outdoor time, walks, and attention based on their individual energy levels and needs. My home provides a safe, comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Colma
Brittany is amazing! She cared for my anxious senior dog on very last minute-short notice and was extra sweet with her, giving her all of the extra love and attention that small senior dogs require! Brittany is quite the animal whisperer, because both my cat and dog immediately warmed up to her and wanted all of her attention, which is not the norm, and after she left, my anxious little babe was as calm and peaceful as I have EVER seen her!! 5 stars! We will definitely keep Brittany as our top choice for dog visits!
Aaron communicates in a timely manner, leaves thorough check-in updates through photos, and demonstrates a high-degree of care and responsibility. Most importantly, he is patient and respects cats’ space, not forcing an interaction while also taking the time to try and make my very shy cat feel comfortable. Aaron gets the job done, taking care of his food and litter area, never cutting corners on cleanliness. I also appreciate his flexibility when I had to make a last minute service change. Aaron’s level of care gives me 100% peace of mind when I’m away from my home and cat.
Blessy was fantastic! I booked a sitter for 2 guinea pigs very last minute and she was available for both a first meeting and the dates I requested. She was incredibly responsive and had great communication. I even made a mistake while booking and she pointed it out to me and clarified! She was incredibly sweet and attentive, sending me updates and keeping the piggies happy. She also cleaned more than I asked her to! Would definitely rebook with her. Thanks Blessy!
Rachel is a fantastic cat sitter. She is very dependable which allowed me to enjoy 2 weeks of a worry free vacation. And she was willing to make an extra visit when needed. The fact that my reluctant cat warmed up to Rachel is saying something… I can’t say enough good things about Rachel other than that hiring her is doing yourself ( and your pet) a tremendous favor.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Colma is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $44 per visit. 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 11,195 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Colma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Colma. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
