“I was skeptical of Rover but we met Jess and this whole process was flawless. Jess answered all of our questions and concerns and she looked after Truro like she was her own puppy. Jess is reliable and I cannot say enough about how professional she is. Jess was a dream to book with and best of all we have an extremely happy puppy!!”
“Emily was an AMAZING dog-sitter. I felt so comfortable with her. She clearly loves dogs and knows a lot about them. She was extremely responsible and professional. She even made my dog some little bandanna to wear around his neck. It was ADORABLE. Thank you Emily for being the best dog-sitter ever!”
“Tyler was great! He took wonderful care of Arrow who can be a lot. He worked with us on the involved training and commands for Arrows day to day. We got pictures and great updates as well. Thankful to have had Tyler take care of Arrow for the drop ins each day!”
“Kris has been absolutely amazing with Ralphie and Penny. She was timely in her initial response to my request, was flexible with scheduling a meet&greet, and has continued to be communicative during drop ins. She is clearly knowledgeable, experienced, and the dogs love her. I would 100% recommend her services.”
“Stephen was fantastic! It was my first time having someone unrelated to the family care for our pup, I was a bit apprehensive. But Stephen quickly put me at ease with his attentiveness and genuine care for Charlie during our time away. Multiple photos, videos and updates during the day, very responsive, and most importantly a happy loved pup!”

I work part-time and have flexibility within my scheduled days and hours. I have time before and after shifts. Also available to spend time in evenings. Safety is utmost important. Pet would always be on leash while taking walks and in any area that did not provide a safe fenced in area. I provide lots of cuddling and petting . I make sure that any area they are in, is free from anything that can cause harm.
“Shannon took care of our kitties while we were away for a few days. They were very well taken care of and loved seeing her again! She is wonderful with them! She communicates very well with us-we get pictures and a nice note on how the kitties were doing! Highly recommend! Thank you!”

About: I have a large yard fully fenced in and a large home for your dog to hang out in! I have two rescue dogs that are like my children who love to play with new doggie friends! I love to play with them in the backyard and give them all the snuggles. I grew up with dogs and even as a child I walked dogs to earn extra money, I will treat your dogs like my own because they too are part of the family and deserve to be treated as so. From over night care or walking your doggies or just check ups your pup(s) they will have the best time with my and my babies! Can’t wait to care for a special part of your family!
About: I have always had a passion for animals and wildlife. As an experienced former veterinary technician with a degree in Animal Science from the University of Vermont, I stayed true to passion throughout my career. Twice a week I volunteer in the animal clinic at NEAS, the local animal shelter. During the spring, summer and fall I work on the beach as a Conservation Biologist. My love of animals and especially dogs started when I was very little, and continued through my adult life, until I finally got my own little love. Having a high energy German Shepherd means I am used to breeds of all sizes and exercise requirements. My dog and I live a very active lifestyle, with frequent runs, walks and trips to the woods and beach. Even though we live in an apartment, we still make time to stretch our legs! I hope I can help you do the same for your dog. I provide walking services, house visits and medication or fluid administration if needed as part of the pets daily regiment. I am able to walk your dog during the week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (anytime from 9-5) for 30min-1hr (whatever is best for your pet!). Cuddles, kisses and hugs are free of charge! I get just as much joy out of it as your dog does.
“Mary was so great with my dog, will be using her as my regular dog sitter going forward. Was super attentive and interactive with him from the first meet and greet. Great communication from her and loved the check ins she sent while she came to visit, very glad I found somebody so happy to spend some time with him when I’m at work. 10/10 recommend!”

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Colchester on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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 with handling special pet needs in Colchester. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
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.
