“If you’re looking for somewhere that is like home away from home for your fur babes then April place is the best place.. I wouldn’t think about going anywhere else as long as she is in business ..she is so amazing..communication skills is excellent, sent us a video a day plus comments on top of that letting us know how our boys were doing..she was the first person to ever watch our dogs and it worked out very well…they stayed with her for 5 days..next time we might do 10 days lol do to the fact that she is so amazing and #1 in our book…book her and trust me you won’t regret it!!!”
“I was extremely nervous leaving my puppy alone overnight. Alena was sweet and welcoming. I felt safe and assured that my puppy was going to be well taking care of and she was! I recommend Alena and will choose her again when the time comes.”
“Another great stay with Patti! Thank you for taking great care of Sophie. She loves Patti and Patti’s dogs. It’s a relief to have someone I can trust to leave Sophie with and know she’ll be loved and watched like she is at home.”
“Melissa is amazing. My puppy has been skittish ever since I got her from the shelter and she gets nervous around people and other dogs but she warmed up quickly to Melissa. Melissa is super sweet and dogs know that. My puppy Wednesday loves playing with her cute dogs she has. I love all the updates I get and love how patient Melissa is. Melissa is awesome because I had to book a last minute booking and she was able to take my puppy in. If I could give 10 stars I for sure would. Thank you so much Melissa ❤️❤️”
“Brenda took amazing care of my 2 pups! It was my first time leaving on a trip and having to find a sitter for them and I’m so glad i went with brenda! My dogs loved her so much and i will definitely be booking again with Brenda in the future!”
“I could not recommend Meena enough! She took wonderful care of my two dogs for 7 days. One of our dogs is a rescue with separation anxiety and insecurity. It took him 2-3 days to settle in, and unfortunately he also bit her at one point. Despite this, Meena remained patient and kind, and communicated promptly with me about the situation. By the end of the stay, he was comfortable and followed her around everywhere. Our other dog also had a great time as he came back calm and happy. I'd trust her with my dogs again without hesitation and recommend her highly to anyone.”
“So grateful for Allen! He took care of my boy Thor for 3 days/2 nights and kept me updated the entire time. Thor had a blast and made some new friends. Will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommend! Liz was amazing with Belle! I reached out to her hours before drop off, and she responded right away. From the moment I left Belle with her, she kept me updated with pictures and videos and Belle looked SO happy and comfortable the entire time! She loved big yard, Belle was running around as if it was her own home. Seeing her so free and happy made me feel even more at ease. I even told Liz that I was afraid Belle wouldn’t want to leave… and sure enough, the day I picked her up she totally bypassed me like I wasn’t even there 😂🥲 That’s how much she loved being with Liz! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my girl. I will absolutely be booking with you again! 🐾💕”

“Kara and her husband were wonderful! Quick to respond, sent pictures and videos during the stay, and understanding. My dog looked like he had a blast and still wanted to hang out when I went to pick him up.”
“I booked her from 5:30 AM to 6 PM and she did an outstanding job taking care of my pup. She took him on a nice walk, made sure he was well-fed, and kept him engaged with playful activities throughout the day. She also sent updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was at work. My dog came home happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of. I truly appreciate the care and energy she put into the day. Definitely booking with her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Nachelle! Ever since I can remember, dogs have been a huge part of my life. I grow up with dog and live stock. So have have dogs most of my adult life and I am familiar with many breeds and stages of life. I truly believes that pets are family and to some like me our kids. My goal isn't just to watch your dog, but to make sure they feel safe, happy, and thoroughly loved while you are away. Because I know how stressful that can be on them. When your pup stays with me, hangs out with me, or goes out for a walk they get my full attention, plenty of belly rubs, and a routine tailored specifically to their personality. Whether they are an energetic ball of fire who loves long sniff-walks or a senior sweet-soul who prefers a cozy couch lounge. When pets are in my home there is no off limit space besides the kitchen. So your fur babies will feel at home. If you have any questions please let me know. So I can accommodate your needs. Pet care is the most important to me as I have a dog and he is like my son. So daily walks, scheduled feeds, meds, and play time is a most. Trust is earned with pets just like humans. So I don't expect your pet to be warm and cuddly at first cause we have to establish that bond. So for me knowing there environmently triggers, happy spots, and things that there fearful of is the most important to me. So we can all be safe.
“Sierra was amazing and has a lovely family. They took care of my boy, very responsive, great communication, took great videos and pictures with updates. Went on walks which my boy loves. i can tell he really liked them cuz he turned back to say goodbye to all of them. I will definitely be using her again.”
“As always, Lynn was great and provided regular updates. Very grateful she was able to accommodate a relatively last minute booking as a result of work travel that came up. Thanks for another great stay.”
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life and have been walking and caring for friends and family's dogs for years. I know how to give each pup the attention and exercise they need. My daily routine is very flexible. I'm available every morning and evening for walks, and I build my whole schedule around your dog's needs. Whether it's a quick potty break or a longer adventure, I'll make sure your pup gets the exercise and attention they need. I always care for pets in the client's home. I follow any special instructions you give me, keep your house clean, and make sure all doors and gates are securely closed before I leave. Your pet's safety and your home are my top priority.
“Nicole really is one of the best pet sitters I have ever met. She has watched our Molly about 5 times now with each time being between 4-8 days at a time and every time she has done absolutely amazing she sends updates throughout the day, which is really wonderful just knowing that Molly is doing well. From the moment I drop her off Molly already knows and is very excited to see Nicole. They treat her as if she was one of their own and it makes me so happy. I call it Molly’s vacation because she just enjoys it so much and is so pampered, spoiled and loved.”

So happy to have found Adam through a referral from friends. Our first meet & greet was exactly what I was hoping for and his pups are as gentle and sweet my girl Lakota is. It’s comforting to know that I have a connection with a sitter that really cares and understands my dog.
Omg!! Brenda was amazing!!!!! She was super communicative and sent lots of updates and pictures, which made me feel completely at ease leaving Noori in her care. She was so gentle, kind, and patient with her, and I could tell Noori was in great hands. I’m so grateful for the care she gave my girl! I would absolutely book with Brenda again and highly recommend her! 🐾💕

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 Colton 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 Colton 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 Colton.
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 Colton. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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 Colton 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 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.
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.
