About: My husband David and I are lifelong dog lovers who have welcomed many rescue dogs into our family over the years. Our current pets—a Pomeranian and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel—are both very friendly and get along wonderfully with other dogs. We also have a rescued indoor/outdoor cat who is equally social and gentle. After a five-year break, we’re excited to return to pet sitting because of our genuine love for animals and the joy we’ve had helping dogs and their owners. Our Home & Care We live on one acre of fully secured, fenced-in land with a dog run area and a doggie door for easy access. David is retired and home most of the day, so your pets will have plenty of attention. He primarily covers daytime care, while I handle evenings and feedings. We have many years of experience dog- and cat-sitting for family and friends, both in the Bay Area and now in our current community. We understand firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your “fur babies,” and our goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Additional Services For an added charge, I can provide grooming services during your pet’s stay, as I am a former professional dog groomer. We look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with a safe, loving, and fun environment while you’re away! My husband is retired and home during the day, so he handles the daytime routines. I take over in the afternoons and evenings to ensure consistent care. We go on daily leash walks with our dogs, and at night, your pup is welcome to sleep in our room for comfort and companionship We have a fully secured, fenced-in backyard with over an acre of space for dogs to safely run, play, and explore. Our pets are truly part of our family, and we will care for your dogs with the same love, attention, and safety we give our own
“Phenomenal and absolutely caring. My cat looovvved Terri. Terri's care and communication made me feel completely at ease. Her passion for animals goes way beyond. Would absolutely hire again.”
“Sara was fantastic! She came over before our scheduled day to meet our dogs and familiarize herself with our dogs schedule and details for their routine. We have never hired a dog service before and we’re apprehensive at first. The day of service she kept us informed and even sent pictures of our fur babies to let us know how they’re doing. We felt comfortable knowing Sara was tending to them. We definitely recommend hiring her services and will be using Rover and requesting Sara for future dog sitting services. :)”
“Danielle went out of her way and stopped by twice to meet and greet. She shared pictures and communicated with us as the visits went. Highly recommend, we will being booking with her again.”
About: i’ve always loved animals and have never had any issues taking care of them. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, including big to medium sized dogs, smaller dogs, cats, and even some livestock. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and puppies just from having pets of my own, so I would have no issue giving medication or any other special needs for your babies. I’ve always been passionate about caring for animals and make a promise to treat your pets how I would treat mine, which is with love, respect, and ultimate care. I’ll follow any rules that you have for your pets (or me), and any special routines you may have for us to follow as well. I used to also volunteer at Front Street Animal Shelter, and I have a recurring client that I pet sit for pretty regularly, and haven’t ever had any major issues caring for her animals. I am comfortable doing overnight care or drop in visits, I’m also pretty flexible and I am looking to do pet sitting as a full time job. Im currently working part time so I would need something a little more flexible at the moment. However, I would love to find something full-time, that way I can have open availability and be able to spend more time caring for your fur babies! There are times where I can make changes in my schedule however, I would need at least two weeks notice. With that, I’m currently not able to do any last-minute bookings, however, given enough notice I would be able to clear my schedule for a week or more. when caring for my clients pets, I like to have clear written instructions if there are specific things that need to be done for me to care for your babies. I always allow a pretty generous potty break if a backyard is available and I can let them stay outside. I like to do an hour minimum outside for each potty break. I’ll always follow any rules and special instructions you may have, or routines you may have for your pet. other than that I usually just relax, crochet or read and keep a good eye on your fur baby for the day. I promise to respect your house and your space as well and I’m very good about immediately letting my client know when or if something goes wrong.
About: I have been an avid dog lover my whole life I wouldn't know what to do without one. I am now retired and I thought what better way to spend my time than to hang out with my favorite 4 legged people. I am actively involved with several pet rescue organizations and would feed my dogs before I would eat I am retired so I'm available pretty much anytime you need me. If you need someone to take your fur baby for a walk or to drop in and say hi and play with them for a while I'm your guy I have 2 dogs 1 pug and 1 chi-weenie they have a fenced in area that is also covered to keep them out of the sun and rain
“Isabella arrived right on time for Mazie’s drop-in walk and kept me updated throughout. She was attentive and communicative, and best of all, she sent photos from their time together—I loved seeing Mazie enjoying the outing. Isabella clearly cares about the dogs in her care. Mazie was happy when she got home. Couldn’t ask for better. Will definitely book again!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care for each pet as an individual. I take the time to learn and follow a pet’s routine exactly so they feel safe and comfortable, whether they’re a puppy, adult, or senior. I’m patient and confident working with puppies, including basic training reinforcement, potty routines, and leash manners. I’m also attentive to senior pets, providing gentle care, slower-paced activity, medication support if needed, and close monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I communicate clearly with owners and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits into my routine through consistent daily habits and a small weekly reset. I take care of feeding and fresh water every day, along with making time for exercise, bathroom breaks, and attention so my pet stays healthy and engaged. I also do quick health checks to make sure everything seems normal. Once a week, I focus on cleaning, grooming, and restocking supplies. Overall, it’s built into my day in a way that feels manageable and routine rather than overwhelming. I care for pets by following a consistent, attentive routine that prioritizes their safety, comfort, and well-being. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get the appropriate exercise and bathroom breaks they need. I provide companionship and enrichment through play, attention, and positive interaction, while also monitoring their behavior and health for any changes. I follow any specific instructions given by the owner, including medication, feeding preferences, and routines, to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their environment
About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs, fish, and especially cats! I have training from the SPCA on dog walking, cat care, and some skill/behavioral training for both cats and dogs. I have 3 years of fish keeping experience. I currently have my own cat (he’s orange!) and I am fostering a mother and her kitten for the time being. I am willing to help clean around the house as well! I have indoor/outdoor plants and I can take care of your plants while you are away - I have a green thumb :) I’ve helped friends and clients with farm animals, including feeding and cleaning their spaces. If directed I can help with other farm projects. I have a pretty busy schedule, but can set aside time on my busy days for drop-ins. I am free to stay at the house with your pet on my off days! To paint a better picture for you of what my availability looks like, my schedule alternates between busy and free days every other day. So if you need 24/7 in-home pet care I am not your best fit, but you can still ask if you’d like! I might be able to work something out for you :) Thank you for your consideration! I offer dog walking, in-home pet sitting, and I can do small cleaning projects for a minimal extra charge. I am gentle with the animals and can do grooming such as brushing and can try nail clipping if your pets allow it!
About: I love all animals and have had dogs and cats my whole life growing up. I have a lot of experience caring for different breeds, family friends always rely on me to watch their animals. I have a very flexible schedule because I am taking online college classes. I am available 5 days a week to watch your furry friends! I will give your furry friends lots of company while you’re gone. I will provide a loving environment to make your animals feel safe. I can take multiple dogs on a walk at a time to ensure they get exercise. And follow any special nutrition instructions for your pet.
“Mikhaila is absolutely wonderful! She is prompt, efficient, flexible, and a pleasure to work with. She provided multiple updates and pictures of our dog Tucker, who I could tell loved Mikhaila and her husband instantly! I would definitely recommend Mikhaila!”
“Kayla has watched Zephyr a couple of times and did an amazing job! I am so thankful to have someone I trust with my dog when I can’t be home. She follows all routines and is very caring!”
About: Mindful and attentive former pet care worker and dog walker with multiple years walking, training, and nurturing dogs, cats, and wild animals. My record is impeccable and without incident - this is because I understand the importance of attending to a client's every need, constantly prioritize safety in what is, by nature, a volatile field, and have a deep appreciation for the behavioral needs and individual personalities of the pets I take care of and connect with. I love dogs. I've loved them all my life. And I understand that the second I walk into your home, leash in hand, I am responsible for the well being a loved and dear member of your family - and I treat them as if they were my own. I am currently caring for my grandmother while she undergoes treatment for terminal lung cancer. Otherwise, my responsibilities are all remote, and I can be present for your pets day and night. I take health and safety concerns as a necessity, and will make sure to attend to your specific needs and risk factors. I have walked packs of dogs through LA and Manhattan during rush hours and have never had a single incident occur.
About: What sets me apart is the care, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy caring for playful puppies, energetic dogs, and senior pets who may need extra patience and attention. I can help maintain feeding and medication routines, reinforce basic training, provide plenty of exercise and playtime, and give senior pets the calm, gentle care they deserve. My goal is simple: happy pets, peace of mind for you, and a sitter you can trust. I have an open schedule so I have enough time to tend to your pup. I can house sit all the time to walk them as needed First thing I do before and while they go out side I will observe all there escape routes and Make sure that everything is closed and secure

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,211 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Coloma. 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 Coloma. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
