“Elena was very polite a professional. The dogs seemed to warm up to her right away. From our brief conversation she proved to be very knowledgeable and patient. Would recommend and book again”
“Sarah took great care of our kitty and our home. Our cat can be skittish and anxious around new people, but she they immediately vibed so well! We could tell in our daily updates that she was having so much fun and bonding with Sarah.”
“Giselle was great with my dog and kitty 😺 She gave my dog his medicine as instructed and fed him as well. My dog is a picky eater and she was able to get him to eat. Will definitely use her again!”
“We were so happy with Cambria! We were grateful to have someone caring for our puppies on the Fourth of July evening. It gave us such peace of mind, and we truly appreciate her. We look forward to contacting Cambria again in the future! 🐾❤️”
“Eliana took great care of our babies and our home! We felt confident leaving them in her care based on her calm, kind demeanor and the insightful questions she asked during the meet and greet, which showed her knowledge and intuition for animal behavior. She kept in great contact and was even a great sport about some circuit breaker issues that popped up while we were away. Reliable, responsive, and very sweet with our precious pets!”
About: Hi there! 🐶🐱💕 I am a responsible, affectionate, and patient person who loves spending time with animals. To me, pet care means providing attention, affection, and safety—treating them just like a member of my own family. I offer pet care services either at my home or at the owner's home, depending on your needs. I can also: * 🐕 Walk your dog. * 🏠 Provide daytime pet care. * 🌙 Look after them overnight or stay over at your home. * 🐶🐱 Make home visits to feed and keep them company. * 💕 Provide attention, playtime, and lots of affection. * 🍽️ Stick to their feeding schedules and routines. * 💊 Follow special care instructions when needed. * 📸 Send you photos and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust. My priority is ensuring they feel safe, accompanied, and loved, so you can enjoy your trip or attend to your commitments knowing they are in good hands. 🐾 Your pet will be treated with all the love and care they deserve. 💗 Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine because I have the availability to organize my time around each pet's specific needs 🐶🐱💕 I love spending time with animals, so I truly enjoy giving them attention, playing with them, feeding them, and ensuring they are comfortable and happy. I am also available for home visits, walks, and overnight care. My priority is to be responsible and keep each pet's routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. At my home—even though I don’t have a garden—I ensure the pets are comfortable and safe, and that they receive plenty of affection and attention. 🐾💕 I am happy to take them out for walks so they can relieve themselves, and if they wish, I can also take them to the park to walk, play, and enjoy the outdoors. When staying at the owner's home, I carefully follow each pet's routine and instructions, including schedules for feeding, grooming, walks, and playtime, as well as any special care they require. It is very important to me to respect their habits and ensure they feel calm and secure while their owners are away. 🐶🐱
About: From larger dogs to lizards, guinea pigs, and cats, every animal best friend deserves to be treated like family. I have spent many years volunteering at shelters and animal rescues, dog walking, and pet sitting for family and friends. I understand firsthand what it takes to care for animals with specialized diets and daily medication needs. My own cats require a bit more as they enter their senior years, so i understand how much patience it can take. That said, I know how important it is to maintain a routine, especially when your animal best friend misses you. I work a full-time remote job for a wildlife conservation nonprofit, which gives me the flexibility to stay with your best friend all day if you're interested. I'm happy to go above and beyond for your best friend, whether you're taking on family responsibilities, taking that much-needed vacation, or just need someone to stop by while you're away for a long day. I can't wait to connect with you and meet your pet best friend. I work a full-time remote job with a wildlife conservation non-profit. That said, my daily schedule is fairly flexible and can even include staying with your pet during the workday to keep them company. Weekends are also fairly flexible, although I try to make the most of my time with family and friends. So, I likely won't be able to spend the entire day with your pet as I would be during the weekdays, but I will still spend quality time with them when requested, especially if requested far enough in advance that I can schedule it into my weekends and around family. I make environmental safety a priority. I follow all precautions and safety guidelines you requested and avoid anything that could create a hazard or unsafe situation for your pet. I am familiar with cat CPR and the steps to take if you find a cat choking. These precautions also include saving your vet's contact information and finding the nearest emergency vet to remain prepared for any situation. If you request outside time, I will do so only in a secure location to minimize the risk of your furry friend getting lost or injured. My youngest cat (7 years old), has a few hours of supervised time in our fenced yard every morning. She also wears an AirTag collar whenever we aren't home or if she's in our yard, in addition to supervision. I have extra AirTags I can attach to your best friend's collar (or I can bring an extra collar) for additional monitoring while you're away, if you are interested.
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.
“Was our first time using Chloe and she stayed 4 days with our fur baby! We were so happy with her and she spoiled him with daily walks, cuddles and playtime! She sent pictures of him and he always looked so happy with her. She went beyond what we asked and came home to a happy boy and a clean house. ( which wasn’t expected)”
“Anna was a wonderful pet and housesitter! She took excellent care of our dog and cat. Our dog is a rescue with some special needs and she bonded with her and cared for her perfectly. Her experience with animals shows. Our family highly recommends this caring, trustworthy, responsible petsitter!”
About: I was an ER vet in NM, CA & IL for 28 years. Rehab vet for the last 12 years. Semi-retired now. All the skills except training. I'm currently semi-retired. No more 12 hour work days. No more 6 day work weeks. But I still want to do what I love doing around dogs and cats and their owners. I have a cat named Oliver. He needs medication twice a day, so I will need to go check in on him while pet sitting. I'm also a night owl if you need someone later in the day.
About: Growing up with dogs has left me with some great experience from dog walking and playtime to feeding and administering medicine. Of course your pup will get the best treatment but that comes with a good eye. I believe that I am great at understanding their needs based off their behavior, age, and energy level. Accommodating to their needs won’t be an issue. When caring for your pup overnight, nothing will change when it comes to giving them my full attention and making sure their needs are met. When caring for my dog Max in his last years he developed a cough which required extra care such as giving medication at late hours or simply being in their presence with some scratches. This experience taught me the importance of caring for an aging dog, being patient, attentive and compassionate. I promise I will care for yours as if they were my own! Thank you 😊 I am currently working full time although I will be available for night walks after 6pm on weekdays (Monday-Thursday) and boarding on weekends (Friday-Sunday). I can offer your pups toys and attention, whether it be in or outdoors. Whatever special request you have I would do my best to achieve. I only wish to create a happy and safe environment for them 😄
About: I’ve have taken care of dogs ever since I was a teenager. I love taking care of dogs they bring me such a joy. I know that each dog has their own personality and I love seeing them shine in there own ways. I have taken care of dogs as young as 6 months old to dogs that are 9 years old. I know that senior dogs definitely need more attention when it comes to potty breaks. I also have changed dog diapers. I also grown up with large dog breeds such as Pitbulls, Rottweilers and Huskies. I have also taken care of small dogs such as toy poodles, schnauzer and pekingese. I currently work as a property manager for an Airbnb that runs within my home. Which gives me the flexibility to watch pets. I understand that each pet has their own needs and I want to do what’s best for them. I’m very fortunate to have a fully fence, home, and a separate backyard for my pets and yours. My dogs have their own space and your pet will be staying with me so I can watch them.

“Natalie did a fantastic job with my animals. She fed and took care of their needs as well as loved on them. I came home to 3 happy animals and my house was cared for as well. Thank you so much for loving and caring for my three babies. I will definitely use her again.”
“She took really good care of our 2 very energetic dogs. She was very accommodating, replied to messages quickly and sent us lots of photos while we were away. She left our home very clean and we would trust her with our dogs any time.”
“Tanja exceeded expectations from the beginning. She was thorough and professional during our first messages in the Rover App. And when we set up an introduction our pups immediately gravitated towards her as an obvious dog lover. She provided photo and text updates constantly showing strong commitment and love for our little fur babies. She is a great communicator and had very prompt responses. We will definitely be asking for Tanja again if she is available for our next trip!”

gisselle was so wonderful with my Coco. Coco is a senior dog with health problems and cannot get overly excited. Gisselle understood my concerns with leaving my Coco with anyone but me! She sent me updates and pictures of Coco throughout my absence. i would highly recommend her.
Jizelle did an amazing job watching my 3 dogs on New Year’s Eve. I have a senior dog with dementia that needs medication and she did a wonderful job administering the medication and watching over him throughout the night. She arrived early and was great at communicating with me throughout the night and sending me photos. Would definitely have Jizelle watch my dogs again!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Colton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Colton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Colton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
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
- 90% 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.
