“Meredith was available on late notice to watch our particular pup and it went fantastic! She is a great communicator and we felt very comfortable having her stay in our home. Meredith sent photos and updates while we were away, and gave a great summary (meds given, food ate and last potty break) before she left. Our 4 yo anxious dog loved her and we would absolutely hire her again. Thanks Meredith!”
“Just came home to happy dogs and the house just the way we left it! Thank you for taking such great care of our dogs who hate being left alone. We got several photos throughout the week and it seemed the dogs were in great hands.”
“Emily is an amazing human, & she took care of Sierra & our home with great care. Sierra warmed up to her immediately, & got to snuggle & hang out on the patio with her all weekend. Emily has a gentle, kind energy, and is definitely a pet whisperer. She is always welcome in our home, & we will invite her back any time we travel again. Thank you Emily! 💙”
“Rebecca watched our two adult greyhounds and 4.5 month old puppy over the Thanksgiving holiday for 4 nights. She did an awesome job, feeding and letting them out at appropriate times. We are so thankful to have had one less worry! She kept the house tidy and was great about communication. Thanks so much, Rebecca!”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our super anxious poodle mix with Betty! She was so patient and took great care of our pets and home. We look forward to booking her again :)”
“Winifred is so wonderful at taking care of our dog, Henri. She plays so much with him and shows us videos and pictures while we are away. I cannot express how caring and focused and loving she is. She keeps the home clean and tidy during her stay and is very good at what she does. We are so happy to have her support and attention for Henri. We look forward to the next time she watches him for us in a few weeks. Definitely found our special care provider ❤️❤️❤️”
About: I've had experience caring for dogs of all ages, from helping a friend with newborn puppies to looking after adult and senior dogs! I've also pet-sat for friends, so I'm comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels, and the occasional bit of doggy mischief. I love keeping pups happy, active, and cared for, no matter their age or shenanigans! As a college student, I love having a little extra four-legged companionship in my day! Between classes and studying, I'm always happy to make time for some walks, playtime, and much-needed pet cuddles. I'm available for weekday check-ins and walks, as well as weekend overnight stays. I'd love to make your pet's day a little brighter while you're away! Your pet's safety is my top priority! I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your furry family members. I'm respectful of your space, attentive to your pet's routines and needs, and big on communication. I love sending updates, pictures, and check-ins so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and getting plenty of love while you're away!
“Angee is so good with my pup and her communication and photos and all are most assuring when I’m gone! I feel fortunate to have found her and will definitely ask her back time and again!”
“Our Family had a fairly long trip and did not want to put our dogs in a different location. Looking on Rover we found Phillip who responded right away. Our trip was through Thanksgiving and that was not a problem for him. He came over to meet our two dogs and they took to him right away. Received updates from him even though for us maybe a little more communication would have been nice but the over-all experience was really good. When we returned back from our trip and he dropped off our house key the dogs were so very excited to see him. Normally when we are gone and come back our dogs tend to not be themselves for a while. We got right back into things with them like we never left. Thanks for taking such good care of our girls.”
“It was so great to relax on our trip knowing that our ‘zoo’ was in such loving hands with Julie! We got daily updates with cute pics and videos and she even took on caring for the hens! The kitchen was left clean and the bed was stripped and sheets in washer. Hope she’s available for some upcoming trips we’ll need help with!”
About: I am a big animal lover and can help with many things needed to give your animal the best care! have had many pets throughout the years; Cats, dogs, rabbits and chickens. I have also helped watching others pets. I have been a stay at home mom and with my kid going back to school I will have plenty of time available throughout the week. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a big yard in a great neighborhood. I have chickens as well as an indoor cat that is 9 years old.
“Rachel is absolutely lovely! My crew had a great day with her. I felt very secure in leaving them with her as a sitter new to us. Thanks for the extra care and fun and games with some trickery! I will absolutely hire Rachel again.”
“Mary was awesome. She loved our fur babies exactly how we do and they were so very happy which makes us totally happy. I would definitely use Mary in the future and already have some bookings with her.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and have always had a natural connection with animals. I’m empathetic, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, from energetic huskies that require plenty of exercise to small dogs and more sensitive animals. I’ve cared for multiple dogs and cats at once, including senior pets requiring medication on a strict schedule, and I’m comfortable with walks, overnight stays, and providing loving, reliable care.
“Rachel was awesome! StanLee is a sweet little guy, but he also operates at a fairly high level of anxiety and has some very specific opinions about life. Rachel handled him perfectly. He got stroller rides, adventures at the river, plenty of time running around, and, most importantly for StanLee, lots of companionship and attention. Rachel communicated with me throughout his stay and sent plenty of pictures, so I always knew he was happy and well cared for. I’m pretty sure StanLee thought he was on vacation and I was the one being boarded. Thank you, Rachel, for taking such great care of my pal! We’ll absolutely be calling you again for StanLee’s next getaway.”
About: Animals and animal care has always been my passion, I’m currently working towards getting my bachelors degree in animal science and zoology! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals and I’ve done a lot of rescue and rehoming! I love animals, from cats to fish, lizards and birds. I’m crazy about all of them. I’ve cared for babies and elderly of a lot of different species and I pride myself in always doing my best in taking care of all their needs. Ive got quite a few of my own babies at the moment but they’re all very friendly and adjust easily to new animals. If you are struggling financially or need a little extra help please don’t let my rates discourage from booking with me! We can discuss a plan and figure out what will work best for you! I don’t currently have a day job except rover because I’m working towards getting my bachelors degree in animal science/zoology, so I’m home 24/7 to care for my own pets and school, I have two crate trained dogs, four cats, two frogs, two birds, fish, and a hamster, so I’m basically always cleaning and playing or training one or the other! While I live in an apartment, we have multiple fenced dog parks and ample walking area away from the roads for walkies with the dogs, my apartment is pretty spacious especially in the living room and animals are allowed around the whole apartment. If I were to watch your babies at your residence I would stick strictly to the rules you set for me and never overstep your boundaries or rules.
About: Hello, my name is Daphne! Before my black lab passed, I took care of her with my family for thirteen years. I’ve house sat and cared for dogs of friends in the past numerous times. Last year, I lived with a puppy training to be a service dog. I walked her every day, fed her, taught her different commands and spent lots of time taking her outside! I am very comfortable taking care of animals. My schedule is fairly flexible. I’m working two jobs but I make time for bookings. I love caring for pets because I don’t have any at the moment! I provide lots of love and care but also can be stern if a situation calls for correction. I’m very attentive to signs of emotional distress and can react accordingly whether that’s through physical affection, putting an animal in the crate or tending to whatever need they have!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Colbert is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $36 per night. 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
