About: I've loved animals ever since I was a little kid. I grew up with dogs and have 3 senior rescues at home who still act like puppies. In 2020 I began my journey with cats when I adopted my rescue cat Pams. She is now 6 years old and still thriving alongside my dogs and her new kitten brother. I am comfortable taking care of animals in any age group, and can administer medication, bottle feed, or whatever else your fur baby needs. I try my best to help animals in any way I can, and was able to TNRV all the strays in my neighborhood this year! I look forward to meeting you!! Services Offered: Dog Walking House Drop-Ins House Sitting ** For your pets safety, dog walking will only be offered early mornings/evenings unless your fur baby has pet shoes to keep their paw pads safe from heat! I work full time but have full availability Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays! If you need me for a full weekend reach out and I will gladly work something out. As a house-sitter I will ensure to respect your home, and your pet's routines. I will provide your pet with walks/playtime and ensure I provide a safe comfortable enviroment for them while you're away. I will also send as many update pictures as you'd like to ensure you feel comfortable leaving your fur baby in my care.
“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!”

“Elena met our reactive (but secretly loveable) senior dog with kindness and patience, winning his trust. She also patiently listened and understood our pet parent anxiety. We are looking forward to working with Elena in the future!”

About: I grew up with dogs since I was in kindergarten, and have dog-sat many times as an adult. I've cared for dogs as small as Pomeranians and Poodles, and as large as a Great Pyrenees. We even had up to seven dogs in the family at once! Being surrounded by dogs and the happiness they bring has been one of the most important highlights of my life. I've also had and cared for cats, rodents, reptiles, and birds, so no matter the pet, their paws, wings, or scales are in good hands! I am available from 11 am to 10 pm including weekends, aside from the occasional exception. As long as your home is smoke free, you can count on me! As "The Pet Whisperer" (an honorific from my wife and family), I will care for your pet in your home paying specific attention to any care instructions provided, as well as any requested pet walks or play time they may sant or need. If your pet likes to lounge around, I can also be their couch buddy!
About: Hi, I’m Abby! 🐾 I had the joy of owning and caring for my family’s two Shih Tzus since I was 10 years old, and they became two of my very best animal friends. Sadly, they both crossed the rainbow bridge 2 years old. Now I give my love for my pets to others’ furry friends. Growing up with my Shih Tzus has taught me just how much love, patience, and care our pets deserve. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with pet sitting, house sitting, and babysitting, and family, friends, and babysitting clients have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their beloved pets as if they were my own. A fun fact about me: I’m a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) by day! My background has taught me the value of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, and I love using those principles to help animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know pets are family, and I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love and attention I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pet and give them all the care, affection, and attention they deserve! 🐶❤️ I have the most availability during evenings, weekends, and select weekdays depending on my work schedule. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents in advance to find a schedule that works best for everyone. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll do my best to provide dependable, loving care for your furry family members! Safety and comfort are my top priorities! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and welcome them into your home. I will follow your care instructions closely, ensure a safe environment, and make sure your furry friends receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection during every visit or walk. During walks, I will use appropriate safety precautions, keep your dog securely leashed, and remain attentive to their surroundings and individual needs. For drop-in visits, I aim to respect your home, follow your pet’s feeding and care routines, and ensure they have everything they need before I leave.
“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 have experience with all kinds of breeds, sizes, age and energy levels. I know exactly what to do in all kinds of situations too. If your dog barks, pulls, shivers/shakes, timid or gets overly excited, I can also help with all of those traits. I have been very successful with my friends dogs which include German shepard, Cane Corso, husky, poodle, and pit bulls. So I'm excited to help your best friend enjoy their walk too! I am currently working as a dog bather at an awesome spot! I am available Sundays and Mondays from 6am to 3pm. And Tuesday through Saturday from 4pm to 7pm. I have a reliable car and can travel to your house to take care of your pets, take them on walks, runs, or just hang out. I can also do nail trims if your pet needs it especially if they are old and you don't like taking them on rides.
“Susana was fantastic! Beforehand, she came over for a meet and greet and was great with our dog and cat. They were well cared for the day of the drop-in and she took great care of our senior dog and her medication needs. We are absolutely looking forward to being repeat clients.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs and all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I have my own small dog who I’ve raised since he was a puppy, and I love taking him on walks and to dog parks. I’m very patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I also occasionally volunteer at local dog shelters, which has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. Your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. ❤️🐾 I’m a UCR student with a flexible class schedule, so I’m able to work around your pet’s needs and provide care at a variety of times. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need. 🐾 I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own. I’ll always prioritize their safety, follow your instructions and routines, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for in their own space. 🐾❤️

About: I am a certified Veterinary Assistant and was Pre-Vet in college. I have volunteered at the animal shelter and fostered pets since I was in middle school. I have always had a passion for animals and even though I followed my love for children and education for my full-time career endeavor, I still enjoy volunteering and fostering via the shelter whenever I can. I adore pets and enjoy spending time with them. I have plenty of time after work, weekends, summers, and eve some holidays! I love taking my own dogs on long walks and to the dog park to meet new friends. I treat all pets like family, which is why I am one of the go-to foster parents to help socialize new animals brought into the shelter. I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door that stays in, so pets may enter and leave as they please. They are welcome in every room and can hop on the couch to cuddle and watch a movie.
About: I have over 15 years of hands on experience in caring for my dogs and my families dogs. My passion for animals is reflected in the compassionate, reliable, and personalized care I provide to each pet as if they were my own. Due to my current work schedule, I'll only be available Sunday, and Monday for overnight boarding. I can do drop ins and daily walks after 330pm. Leaving your pets while you have to be away is always hard but don't stress as I will help make that process easier. I will create a calm and familiar environment. I also suggest bringing a dog bed and toy. I will stick to regular routine, feeding, walking and sleeping. I will communicate with you, sending pics and videos. Regularly clean food bowls. I have a fenced yard and a park that connects to our house which is also fenced. During walks I will always be on alert and use a leash.

Whether your pup loves long walks, enjoys fetch in the park, or prefers lounging on the couch, I'll tailor their experience to suit their individual needs and preferences.

“Casey did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 dogs while we were away for over a week. She sends us great pictures of our dogs and I can relax knowing our dogs are in such good hands.”

“Tony did a great job with our dog and we would absolutely book with him again. He was very kind, clearly loves animals, and made us feel really comfortable leaving our dog in his care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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. 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 October 2026, there are 3,816 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Colton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Colton. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
