Riley was very calm when I picked him up. After the meet and greet Riley went into your home with his tail wagging! That impressed me . I love the way you introduced him to your home and to the other dogs . We both felt very welcome . Appreciated the photos and the wonderful care you gave to Riley . First time I wasn’t nervous about leaving him thank you so much

About: I have taken care of dogs of many kinds. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs. I recently retired so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am flexible and available to walk or board your furry friend. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your or my dogs and/or create separate space at the house.

Cynthia took excellent care of my senior beagle. She sent many photos of Stewart, he always looked happy and well cared for. He received all the love and attention he needed; he was happy being the only dog in the house. My return flight was cancelled and Cynthia was willing to keep Stewart for another day. I would highly recommend using Cynthia, she is kind and extremely responsible.

We kept our 2 and half years old Maltese with Lisa for 2 nights when we had to go out of town for a wedding and couldn't take our pup Bisou along. It was the first time that Bisou had to spend at a stranger's home. I was sad and worried to leave him behind. But after picking him up, within 2 days I re-booked Lisa for 3 nights in September. I don't need to write detail review. Because, "Action speaks louder than words". ☺

I needed a place for our little dog to stay for the long weekend. And I wanted to make sure all his training rules stayed in place. We are training him from a rehoming situation so it is an important transition period. Margarita and Ramon have a lot of experience with boarding and fostering. I did not have to go into long explanations about what was needed. They understood exactly what our plan was and kept up the plan all weekend without issues. I received daily video updates. When I picked up our little buddy he was relaxed and happy. He was comfortable with Margarita so I know he has been at ease in the house. Margarita had another small dog boarding on tge weekend which was an appropriate match for walks. They also have a low key larger dog whom I felt was calming for the house atmosphere. Overall I feel confident to return my dog for another stay without any concerns.

About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until late August. I can make myself and my home available as needed. I live in a townhome that features a large, lush, and open neighborhood to walk your dogs in. My home has two floors; the first floor is where your pet will stay. When your pet is in my home, they are treated like members of my family. They will be fed, walked, and enriched on your schedule, and will be allowed to sit on the couch and even sleep in my bed at nights if comfortable. I take great care to ensure that your pet’s stay is comfortable and fun-filled. In my home, I currently have two budgies in a large cage and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away or kept caged when your pets are being boarded. When I am in your home, I cultivate the utmost respect. I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet, and leave everything else exactly how I found it.

Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.

Lucas and Katherine were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bentley. This was the second time they cared for him, and once again they exceeded our expectations. They kept us updated throughout our trip with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Bentley experienced a minor tummy issue during his stay, and they were incredibly attentive, caring, and proactive in making sure he was comfortable and well cared for. They also showed great flexibility and understanding when our travel schedule shifted, which we truly appreciated. It’s clear that they genuinely love and care for the pets they watch. We felt completely confident that Bentley was in great hands. We highly recommend Lucas and Katherine to anyone looking for trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate pet sitters. We will absolutely be booking with them again in the future!

I couldn’t be happier with our dog sitter! From the moment I met her and her husband, I knew I could trust them. I’m extremely picky about who I leave Princess with—she’s my baby! But they went above and beyond. I got daily photos, videos, and even thoughtful little gifts when I picked her up. Princess was so loved and cared for—it was clear from their experience (she was a vet in Colombia!) and their passion. I’m beyond satisfied and relieved to have found someone I trust in New York. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, look no further. I’m so grateful for them, and Princess had the best time!

Yanina, and her family treated her like she was already part of their family. They were especially understanding when we had to drop our dog off later than our initial time. She sent us pics during our vacation and updated us. I was relieved that they had a fenced in yard because dalmations love to run. We picked up our fur baby in great shape. Thanks to Yanina and her family we will definitely rebook in future.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Shandy! My puppy stayed for 3 nights, and I was so impressed with the care, love, and attention given. From the start, communication was excellent, and I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in such capable hands. She went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was comfortable, safe, and happy.

It’s clear that Shandy truly has a passion and talent for caring for dogs.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Colonia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Colonia on Rover is $80.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 13,783 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Colonia. About 88% of Colonia sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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 pet, 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.

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 NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
