Courtney was wonderful with our two large breed dogs & cat during a week we were away. Dogs seemed very happy with her stay. She left the house tidy, with the bedsheets she used left in the washer for us. Highly recommend and will be reaching out to her for future dog walks or overnight stays.

Had Autumn stay at our house for a couple nights while we were out of town with my two female German shepherd dogs. Autumn was very friendly and early for both the meet & greet and the house stay. Felt comfortable leaving my girls with her, they seem super content. She was very clean and tidy.

This was our first time using someone on Rover to look after our precious dogs. Miranda is really good with them. We were nervous leaving them overnight but they were well taken care of and we won’t hesitate to use her services again for our next trip.

Jamie was amazing! We are always skeptical getting someone new to watch our dogs as one of our dogs can get very anxious around new people but Jamie was able to win her over very quick! He made sure to keep us updated on how things were going while we were away, which was nice being able to see how happy our animals were! Coming home to a sparkling clean house was also something that was way beyond what we expected, but he had made sure everything was ready for our return. If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies like they are family Jamie goes above and beyond!

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and attentive approach to pet care. I have strong listening and communication skills from my customer service background, so I always make sure pet parents feel updated and reassured. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs consistency and positive reinforcement, or a senior pet who needs gentle care and extra patience, I adapt to make them feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and create a loving, stress-free environment where they can relax and be themselves. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. Pets in my care are rarely left alone and can enjoy regular interaction, playtime, and comfort.I am available for house sitting for both cats and dogs, and I can also host cats in my home. Since I work remotely, I’m able to follow feeding schedules closely, provide timely potty breaks, and maintain a calm, structured environment.I only accept bookings I can fully commit to, ensuring every pet receives reliable, attentive, and loving care. Since I work from home, cats in my care receive consistent supervision, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I follow feeding schedules closely, provide cozy resting spots, and make sure their environment is calm and stress-free. I also spend time socializing and enriching their day with toys, scratching posts and gentle interaction. I provide house sitting by following each pet’s routine carefully feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I ensure their environment stays safe and comfortable and I provide updates to owners regularly so they feel reassured. For dogs, I include walks or outdoor play and for cats, I make sure they feel safe and relaxed. I adapt to each pet’s needs, whether they are energetic, shy or senior pets needing extra care.No matter the location or service, every pet in my care receives attention, affection and the same level of love and responsibility I would give my own pets.

Kelsey stayed in my home for 7 days to care for my two dogs, a husky and a chihuahua, and I could not have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly reliable and sent frequent updates and photos throughout the day, which made it so easy to relax while I was away. It was clear my dogs were very well cared for. She also left the house clean and tidy, which was so appreciated after returning from vacation. Knowing my dogs were in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my trip without worrying about them. I would recommend Kelsey in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.

About: I have experience with dog sitting a dog with anxiety and able to give medications.Also have experience feeding dogs raw food. Plus I have two Huskies of my own that I raise from puppies. I have experience with taking dogs for walks and to the dog park where they can be themselves. I'm currently looking after one dog occasionally when the person goes away. So I have alot of time in my day to look after other animals. I own two Huskies but my partner can look after them when I'm away. I always put the dog safety first and make sure they are not getting in anything they shouldn't. On a walk and I see another dog coming I will pull over to one side and let the dogs pass. If you have a dog with anxiety, I will listen to there body language. When they say it's enough it's enough. I will leave or turn around and go home. If they need to decompress I will give them time to do that.

Michelle took such great care of my dogs while I was away. She kept me updated regularly with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. She made sure both of my dogs were well cared for, and she paid special attention to Coco, who has IVDD and requires a special diet. Knowing that she followed his routine so carefully meant the world to me. Thank you so much, Michelle, for treating my dogs with so much love and care. I truly appreciate everything you did, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again. Highly recommended!

Jacques stay at our house to look after our two golden retrievers, Daisy and Rufus, and our bearded dragon, Spike. He did a wonderful job maintaining the dogs’ comfortable daily routine, and we really appreciated the daily updates that showed how well everyone was doing. When we got home, the dogs were happy, calm, and perfectly themselves— a good sign of the quality care they received. It was so reassuring to know they were in capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Jacques to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter, and would be very happy to have him back again.

Courtney was wonderful with our pug, cat and home! We were away for 18 days and came back to everything the way we left it. She even took a crash course on how to care for a pool and kept it crystal clear the entire time. We will absolutely rebook Courtney and recommend her to people.

Our family had a wonderful experience with June. Our dog, Koa, can be slightly reactive, and June was so patient and confident with her — she was clearly very happy and enjoyed plenty of walks and adventures while we were away. Our cat also seemed very content and comfortable spending time with her. A few. happy kitty! Coming home to a clean and well-cared-for home was such a nice bonus after our trip. June was reliable, caring, and attentive, and we felt very at ease knowing our pets and home were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to have her back again when needed.

FAQs for House Sitting - ColeRidge Estates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in ColeRidge Estates on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 323 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across ColeRidge Estates. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in ColeRidge Estates 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!

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.
  • Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 ColeRidge Estates walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

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 ColeRidge Estates 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!

You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.

If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 75% 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.
