About: I believe our fur babies are more than just an animal they’re part of our family! I’ve had my fur baby for about 5 years now but before that I’ve always been an advocate for dogs ever since I could remember because I grew up knowing the importance of a dog, I’ve always felt very connected to every dog I meet! Im currently a stay at home mom to a fur baby and a human baby so I’m available anytime after 2pm Sunday- Wednesday and Thursday-Saturday I’m available all day! Although I don’t have a yard my house is perfectly secured I have a pet camera for when I’m not home when walking my dog make sure to take my pet corrector!
“Jasmine was absolutely wonderful! Detail oriented and thorough, she handled all of my instructions and didn’t hesitate to ask any questions. I loved the rover card updates and the additional videos she sent as well. Would book Jasmine again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve sat for many different dogs since I was 13. Family and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and apply any needed medications to their dogs. I’ve looked after small Chihuahuas to big Rottweilers, from ages 13 and under. I’m currently taking online community college courses on Mondays and Wednesdays. I’m available all day on weekends and weekdays to look after your amazing dogs! I think it’s best that a dog stay in their own environment so they can feel more comfortable. I will follow the rules you give about your house and pets to make sure they feel safe and your house stays clean and secure.
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.
“Melinda was fantastic with my timid and sensitive dog. He warmed up to her quickly and she was always on time, consistent, and left detailed feedback after each visit. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend Melinda for your pets.”
About: I am a kind hearted female human being with love towards animals, especially when it comes to dogs! I have personally had eight dogs in my lifespan. From a full breed Dalmatian and beagle to mixed dogs, like Labrador/Pit bull and Maltese/Yorkie mixes. I currently have a Miniature Pincher that is 11 years old and has a heart condition. I administer oral medicine to him and I can also administer oral medication to other dogs. I can physically carry up to a 40 pound dog. My children also love dogs! They love to play, go to parks and play catch. They are really good respectful children, especially when it comes to dealing with other people’s pets. I hope that one day we can have the opportunity to dog-sit your fur-baby as we will treat him or her as one of our own!

About: I’ve worked professionally in pet boarding & daycare for 2 years, including at Holiday Pet Hotel & at Tale of the Dog. In addition, I’ve been pet sitting since I was young, caring for dogs, cats, lizards, birds, & other small animals.

Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or giving extra playtime, I make sure each pup/kitty feels safe, comfortable, & loved! I am currently a student at UCR studying biology (pre-vet) but my schedule is very flexible. I plan my schedule carefully around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, & care. I’m reliable with routines & always make time for walks, feeding, & spending quality time with each pet! I provide in-home care so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space. With kennel & pet sitting experience, I know how to handle different breeds & personalities. I’ll stick to their normal routine, give them lots of attention, & make sure they’re happy while you’re away :)
About: Hello! My name is Kristen and I am 42 years old. I have 17 years experience with my own cat who is still thriving in his golden years. In my mid 20s, I wanted to be a veterinarian and I nearly completed Mt. SAC’s Vet Tech program but life took me elsewhere. Over the last 6 years, I have been the go-to sitter for my friends and families dog packs. I love walking, lounging and playing so whatever your baby needs I can do! I’m currently pretty open as I’m taking time from working. I have a gig most evenings but free all day and have a lot of flexibility so please feel free to ask! I would not be able to house your baby, but would be comfortable coming to yours. Unfortunately, until my cat passes on (😭), I can not offer overnight care.

My flexible schedule means I can give them the attention and companionship they need, whether it's playtime breaks in between study sessions or long walks to clear our minds, your pet will always take precedence in my daily routine. Safety and happiness are my top priorities. Rest assured that I will follow any and all instructions you provide regarding your or your pets' preferences and concerns.

About: I'm very good at dog trainer and loves to take care of animals. I have had a very sick dog that I have care of for all his life. From there I have learn how to care for sick animals. I enjoy doing morning walks with my dogs and evenings walks. When it comes to food time sometimes I do enjoy working with them so hand feeding is big for me unless the dog doesn't like that. I like to have a list from the owners to know what their pets expect. Such as if there's a food schedule and walks schedule. I do take safety precautions with dogs I dont know.
“Alexis has been amazing. She’s very communicative and I can tell that my pug Kami enjoys her company very much. Having Alexis come by daily while I’m at work had made a huge difference in our lives and decreased both mine and Kami’s stress tremendously. I will always recommend Alexis to care your your pet!”
About: My mother raised me alongside a puppy in an area dense with wildlife. Along with our growing dog, we often had rodents, birds, or stray cats to take care of. In high school I took care of mice, and owned two sets of rats. The dog I was raised with passed at age 20, and I am experienced in taking care of senior pup needs. I'm currently working part time, and my ideal days to hang out with your pets are Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This will be the case until college starts again in the fall. I have a fenced in home as well as lots of access to pet supplies. I love all parts of animal care, whether it be active play or just snuggling on the couch. Having a senior dog, I am also experienced in handling minor medical situations.

I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your needs.” When I care for pets in your home, I always follow your routines exactly as instructed. I keep a calm, clean environment, respect your space, and give your pet plenty of attention, comfort, and updates so you always know how they’re doing.”
About: I've always loved animals, and am often the "go-to" pet sitter for friends and family because caring for animals like they are my own is something that comes naturally to me. I love being active and being out and about, so taking your dog for a walk in addition to providing him or her with the attention they need would always be included in my services (if you approve of that, of course!) I have a very flexible schedule with tons of availability to better accommodate folks with busy schedules. I'm very active and love to be outside, so walking pups fits into my routine seamlessly! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of grass and shade, perfect for zoomies or just hanging out! I live in a very dog friendly and walkable neighborhood, but also enjoy exploring new areas. I'm very respectful of other people's homes and would follow any house rules outlined by you :)

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Colton is $13 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $33 per visit. 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.

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
