“All went great Bella was a happy girl! She is going back in a couple of days for a longer visit. I am not worried in the least with having to leave her, knowing she will be well taken care of!”
“Lindsey and Timothy were excellent with my bulldog. My dog had so much fun with their family. I was always updated and given photos and videos throughout his stay. I was quickly responded to with any questions or concerns. I definitely will be using them again and I know that my dog will be excited to see them again.”
“This is the second time Andrea has watched our two dogs for us. Both times, she has been flexible to work with our changing schedules and the dogs have a blast at her house, sleeping constantly for a few days after we pick them back up. We will definitely continue to use her in the future.”
“Lindy was fantastic! She helped me when I was in a pinch and was always quick to respond. She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay and clearly has lots of experience with dogs. I know Kucik was taken great care of; I will go back to her anytime I need a dog sitter in the future!”
“We reached out very last minute and Maria responded very quickly the whole time and sent us lots of picture updates. We had a great experience. Our dog got to meet some friends as well as go on lots of walks and he even came home looking and smelling very clean ;). Thank you!!”
“So happy to have found Jordan!!! Our sweet dog Maggie’s stayed over for three nights and I have to say, I rested assured. I got pictures, videos, and comments about Maggie’s day. Maggie was safe and happy, so I was able to enjoy my vacation. Jordan communicated daily, and that gave us peace of mind.”
“Jenny is excellent and took great care of my dog and treated her like family and was giving me updates and pictures of her every Day and she gave me a piece of mind knowing she’s in safe hands with Jenny . Definitely recommend and will use her again for future”
“Leaving Gwen is always stressful, but they took excellent care of her and made the whole experience so much easier. They were attentive, loving, and incredibly kind from start to finish. They kept me updated with great communication and lots of pictures, took Gwen on a car ride to the park, even gave her a bath, and treated her like she was part of their own family. The best part was coming home to a happy, relaxed Gwen. I couldn’t have asked for better care and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“I’ve never boarded any of my dogs at someone’s home before so I was really anxious. Crystal had wonderful reviews so I left my 5 month old puppy with her for the weekend. It was a great experience. She is a kind and warm person. She sent pictures and video of Odie and responded quickly when I asked her how he was doing. He came home healthy and happy which makes me very happy.”
“Chantel was amazing! she took excellent care of my little one and I felt so comfortable knowing she was in caring hands. I got daily videos, photos, and updates. My dog seem to be having so much fun. Chantel went above and beyond; would recommend to others.”
“David and Stephanie are WONDERFUL! They loved on my senior guy and he came home happy. They also give a daily update with photos!! So happy to have found our dog sitters in NC!!”
“Emily and Will are so caring and wonderful! They took excellent care of Charlie and walked him around through the garage to go to the backyard since Charlie is not able to navigate stairs as easily as he used to. He was very content and happy when we picked him up.”
“Annie was very cooperative in planning for Sadie’s stay with her. We loved receiving the updates and pictures while we were gone. We will keep her in mind in the future as we have the need.”
“Left my pup with Tiffany and her family for over a week and I honestly didn’t think he was ready to come home! Tiffany sent pictures and updates and was so so sweet and loving. My pup Zuko has the best time and I honestly think he can’t wait to go back! 100% will be contacting her in the future when Zuko can’t join us on our travels ❤️❤️ 10/10 zukos recommend! :)”
“We had a wonderful experience with Samyou! They were incredibly flexible with scheduling and made the entire process stress-free. We really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and check-ins while we were away — it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pet was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah took very good care of our 15 yr old dog Royce. She sent pictures and made sure he got just what he needed, lots of love! Would definitely recommend her and will use her again!”
“What an incredible find! I recommend Nataly and her family if you’re looking for a warm, compassionate and caring place to leave your little love when you can’t be with them. She is an excellent communicator.! while we were gone she sent so many pictures. She has a beautiful home with a large fenced in backyard but most of all the way she took care of our dog during thunderstorms was so sweet. When I got the picture with Maddi, our little shaking fur ball, wrapped in a cozy blanket with only her big brown eyes showing I knew how much she cared about keeping her comfortable. Looks like we found Maddi’s second home when we cannot take her with us.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Colon is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Colon
William was great. My husband was completely ill prepared to drop of Duke (I am always the one responsible for this but was out of town already). William didn’t miss a beat and happily provided Duke with all the missing amenities that one should bring 🤦♀️ (bowls, crate, etc). Our dog came back very happy and tired. We also really enjoyed the videos that he sent of Duke! William was easy to communicate with and well prepared for our dog, who is a ball of energy.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Colon is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $40 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 1,168 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Colon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Colon can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Colon 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 Colon.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Colon. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Colon 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 NC 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
