“Dan & Kat took care of our babies for a week and it went awesome! In the past, one of our boys has had anxiety when we've left and had accidents. Not so this time! Our two dogs and cat loved Dan & Kat and we wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. From the meet and greet to being flexible on our dogs' schedules and daily updates, everything was absolutely perfect.”
“Samantha did a fantastic job taking care of our pets while we were out of town. We have a dog that is challenging when you first meet her, but Samantha with her calm demeanor and animal behavior experience, won our dog over and now Fiadh loves it when Samatha comes over for a walk. Samantha kept in touch with us consistently and sent plenty of pictures. We highly recommend her!”
“Lani did a great job taking care of our high-energy dog. She responded quickly, sent photos, and went the extra mile to make sure our pup was happy and well cared for. We would definitely call on her again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I understand that each pup has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog like my own—with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and regular photo updates so you can relax while you’re away. Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule is flexible and centered around your pets. I'm available throughout the week & weekends to give your fur babies plenty of love, attention, playtime, and dependable care whenever they need me! I care for every pet as if they were my own while carefully following your instructions and maintaining their normal routine! I prioritize safety by securing doors, monitoring food and water, while providing plenty of attention. I'll also respect your home and send regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your babies are safe, happy and loved!
“I had a very long day and night at work and I needed someone last minute to come to my house and stay with my puppy dachshund. She's amazing with communication and I already knew she was going to be a great fit. BELLA loved her and I felt so safe and comfortable leaving. I got picture updates often along with check ins. If Michella is available, I'll only use her to watch Bella at my place. Thanks again Michelle!! You're Great!!”
“Chris did an amazing job making my dogs feel comfortable with his presence and their routines. Our shepherd can be a little apprehensive of new people but he was licking Chris's face by day two. Also, upon our arrival home I could hardly tell that there was anyone new in our home. I will be a repeat customer of Chris's and I highly recommend his pet sitting services.”
“Calvin was an absolutely incredible, above and beyond sitter. We felt absolute peace leaving our large, high maintenance pups and cat with him. He took wonderful care of them and of our home while we were out of town.”
“Hannah took great care of our dog Gail. She’s an anxious dog but Hannah was patient with her. When we would leave Gail with previous sitters, we’ve come home to a nervous dog but she was her normal self after being cared for by Hannah!”
“Jackson was great with our 3 srong willed boys. They were very calm when we returned and were well taken care of and the house was left in good order. We will definitely book Jackson again.”
“Peyton is just wonderful! She did overnights with 3 of my dogs while we went to the beach. I couldn’t be happier! It was so nice to have the peace of mind that the dogs were well cared for. Peyton sent pictures every day, gave me updates, and even brought treats for the dogs! If you hire her, your pets will be in such good hands. I would definitely hire Peyton again in the future!”
About: I have been working with animals and dog sitting for years. I love playing with dogs and giving them walks. I am a school counselor during the school year and have a really flexible summer schedule. Pet care is a priority of mine, scheduled daily for feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and check-ins, ensuring each pet receives consistent love, attention, and care. Provide fresh food, water, exercise, companionship, and medication if needed. Ensure safety, cleanliness, and comfort tailored to each pet’s needs in home or client’s home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was kid. I regularly pet sit at least once a month. I love petsitting!! I’m currently a full-time student but my schedule is flexible and not super busy. Mon., Wed., Fri., I am free in the morning. Tue. and Thurs. I am free in the afternoon and evening. I have a dog and a back yard. I also walk my dog everyday and feed him/change his water twice a day. So, I am used to caring for pets.
“Mallory was very friendly, and my cats loved her. She took great care of our house while we were gone and brought in packages that arrived. She sent photos and videos of the kitties, and she was easy to communicate with. I will definitely ask her to petsit again.”
“Alanna is so good with Murphy! I think their energy levels match each other! Alanna is very active and is always doing fun activities with Murphy! I look forward to having Alanna back!”
About: I am a pre vet student at UGA who loves interacting with animals. I have 500+ hours working with veterinarian's who specialize in both small and large animals. I also have worked with the guide dog foundation for two years and have experience training service dogs. In my free time I like to volunteer at the Athen's humane society to help with canine/feline enrichment and overall educate myself better on animal behavior. I have been dog/cat sitting for years and it is something I love but also take very seriously. I am currently a undergrad student at UGA. I have only 1-2 classes a day and have plenty of time to play and interact with pets throughout the day. I am mostly available on week days but if weekends are needed I am open to discuss days! I live in an apartment and have the sweetest the golden doodle to keep any pup company. I let dogs out very frequently and will always make sure they are as comfortable as possible. Our apartment has a dog park that I love taking our own dog too. I can crate any dog if necessary but am used letting dogs roam around on their own. I am also willing to stay at any clients home if that's what they prefer.
“I could not recommend Alexis more highly. She took great care of my dog and cat while I was away and sent me daily updates and pictures. She is caring and professional and I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Zeina was amazing. Great communication, great feed back, and she did wonderfully with our animals, which is not easy! Our dog is.... weird about new people, and by the end of her time with him she was giving pets to both the dog and the cat (who is also quite standoffish). She spent so much time making sure that they were comfortable and keeping us up to date. 10/10 would call again. You just can't go wrong with Zeina!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Colbert on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 444 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Colbert. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Colbert 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 Colbert 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 Colbert 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Colbert. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
