“Lindsay did an excellent job with our pets while we were away on vacation. She did everything we discussed including giving our senior dog his medication. I would absolutely rebook if the need arises. Thank you Lindsay”

About: Pets are family, and I know that firsthand! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and couldn’t imagine it any other way. Growing up, we had two energetic and lovable miniature schnauzers, Shaggy and Betty, who brought so much joy to our home. After they passed, I adopted my sweet girl, Cali, two years ago. She’s my adventure buddy—we go on daily walks and runs, and she keeps me on my toes! I’m friendly, active, and caring, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets when you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure they’re well taken care of, I’ll treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets and give them all the love and attention they deserve! Since I work fully remote, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. My own dog, Cali, is a big part of my day—we go on morning and evening walks, and I take regular breaks to give her attention, play, or just check in. This setup allows me to provide consistent care, whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving pets the love and attention they need. I can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate drop-ins, walks, or extended stays, ensuring your pets are well cared for while you’re away! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I provide a pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddle sessions. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and their pet’s established routine. I make sure to follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special requests. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just providing companionship, I always ensure that pets receive the care and attention they deserve. My goal is to make them feel at ease while their owners are away!
“Booked Ellie for a check in while we were out, and she did great. I’m sure if my pups could talk, they would agree! I was a tad bit nervous as it would be the first time she would be checking in without us present and everything went smoothly. Ellie sent us updates and pictures, which we love!”
“We absolutely adored Izzabellah K! Our fur-baby was fond of her the moment he met her, as were we. She communicated well, efficiently, and effortlessly. Followed our instructions well. Is super friendly and kind! We will definitely be using her again.”
About: Im a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, and birds. I’m patient, reliable, and enjoy staying active with walks and playtime. I treat every pet like family. Hi! I’m available throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits. Whether you’re going on vacation or just need an extra hand while away, I’m here to help! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets care and attention 💜 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines and instructions closely. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and never left unattended. During walks, I use secure leashes, stay aware of surroundings, and keep pets away from unsafe situations
“Sienna is amazing! This was my first time entrusting someone with my baby and our home and I could not have felt more comfortable. She respects any preferences, your fur baby and your home. We have already re-booked and booked a home sitting! Thank you Sienna for taking care of Winston with such Kobe and care!”
“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.”
“She did everything as asked and was quick and reliable when I needed someone to come check on my dog while I am at work. Will continue to book her as long as she is available :)”
About: My family and friends always trust me to take care of their fur babies all the time. I have experience with dogs as big as great Danes and as small as tea cups. I’ve dog sit for my cousin every tuesday for 3 years. It was an amazing experience and I love being around different type of dogs and cats. I have a dog and a cat so i’m well experienced with both type of babies I’m a college student so it gives me a lot of freedom and time to go hangout with your fur babies and give them the love they deserve I will never let a fur baby out of my sight even when they are outside i’ll go play or hangout with them and i love going on walks so i don’t mind a long walk at all
“Brooke did a great job with drop in visits while we were gone. She walked and played with Jax each visit. He clearly was having a great time by the pictures she sent.”
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!
“Marla was great. Clear communication and flexible when needed. She sent update pics and managed to get my super shy cat in front of her camera. I would book her again without hesitation.”
“Marilyn was great with my two dogs! One of my pups tends to be more wary of new people but it seemed that she warmed up very well to Marilyn! Gave us peace of mind while we were away :)”
“Sarah was great with our 2 kitties and was wonderful at helping to problem solve when one of them was struggling to adjust to us being gone. I would highly recommend her and definitely book again!”
“Grecia was the best experience we’ve had with a pet sitter to date! My cats were well taken care of and she went above and beyond in her care. I hope to hire her again in the future.”
About: I have had about 3 dogs in my entire lifetime and I love them! I have helped take care of family and friends dogs and I would love to walk your dog as well! I have Mondays and Fridays mainly free for the summer. I also have Wednesday midday and small hour slots throughout Tuesday and Thursday! If you have a pup who needs a way to burn energy throughout the day, I'll be there for them! Specific times: Monday: Any time Tuesday: 11-12:30; 5:30-10 Wednesday: 11-12:30; 3-10 Thursday: 11-2:15; 7:30-10 Friday: Any time Saturday: 5-10 Sunday: Any time I have a small backyard with a tall wall that would prevent dogs from running out. I have a relatively large first floor living area with lots of space for a dog to run around. I am home for the most part and am willing to constantly watch and care for a dog.
“Ashley was an amazing sitter for my 2 cats while I was away for a week for the holidays. She sent comments and pictures for every visit, and was incredibly communicative throughout the whole time I was gone. She was even able to be flexible for one of my cats that was experiencing difficulties eating while I was gone. I appreciated being able to have someone trusting to watch my cats. I will definitely be looking to book Ashley for future pet sitting. She was amazing!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Colton on Rover is $12.84 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,854 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Colton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Colton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Colton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
