“We’ve been using shannon consistently for the last month and she has been wonderful. We have an anxious big 70lb girl and she absolutely adores her!!! Highly recommend using shannon for your babies!”

“So happy to have Jessica drop in for Marley! She sent great pictures and a very detailed review of her visit. We will definitely connect with Jessica in the future!”

“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've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. My first job was at a dog kennel, and I've always had at least one dog of my own. I take pride in being able to bond with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and love to see their personality shine through. I have worked with puppies and senior dogs, and am happy to help care for your pups with the same dedication you provide them as parents. My job allows me days off during the week, and I am home on workdays soon enough to spend plenty of time with your pets! I am happy to work with clients to be the best care taker I can around their schedules. I will happily adapt to your pets needs, schedule, and comfortability in your home, and will care for them as though they are my own! I am also happy to provide updates and pictures when you're missing your pup, and am happy to assist in any way needed.
“Brianna is incredible! She comes every Saturday morning to help with our newly diabetic cat's insulin treatment. This requires some level of training to make sure everything is done correctly, and she has been really wonderful through that process. She already knows so much about administering medicine, and she is really easy to teach and talk through any nuance specific to our kitty. She cares for all kinds of animals and has such expertise, making us even more comfortable with her care. She is also more reliable than we could have ever imagined. Always promptly on time and always prioritizing our babies healthcare needs!”

“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.”


About: My veterinary assistant experience with small and large animals sets me apart as I keep a close eye on your animal’s health and well-being. I am not easily spooked, but I want your pet to receive the best care I can give. I am not a trainer, but I am comfortable dealing with some pets with behavioral issues. I want to create the safest and most comfortable environment for your pet, your sanity and myself! I currently work four days a week and have a three day weekend. I am looking to pet sit for people who are going on a short trip or need routine weekend care. I can be flexible with week nights, but it will need to be established well in advance. I am looking to house sit in the owners residence. My cats would not be happy to have any new comers to our family. I am very punctual with breakfast and dinner time, and I am typically one to spend time wherever the pet would like to whether that be indoors or outdoors!
About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including large dogs up to 115 pounds. I’ve owned and raised dogs from the puppy stage through their senior years, so I understand how different their needs can be at every stage of life. I have experience with puppy training, reinforcing basic commands, crate routines, frequent potty breaks, high-energy dogs, and keeping younger dogs entertained and active. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, more frequent breaks, or simply some extra love and attention. What sets me apart is the amount of individual attention I’m able to provide. I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, so I’m home almost all day and can adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule. For boarding, I only take one family’s dog(s) at a time, so your dog won’t be in a house full of unfamiliar animals competing for attention. My home is also pet-free, child-free, and non-smoking, giving your dog a calm and comfortable place to stay. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking, sleeping, training, and crate routines so their stay feels as close to home as possible. And yes, dogs are welcome on the furniture here! 🐶❤️ I work remotely in marketing with a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home almost 24/7, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule can easily be adjusted around each pet’s normal routine and individual needs. Whether your pet is used to early morning walks, specific feeding times, frequent puppy potty breaks, or just lots of companionship throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their schedule as closely as possible. My availability is very open, including weekdays and weekends! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. In my home, it’s just my partner and me with no children or pets of our own, so your pet will have a calm, spacious environment. I only board one family’s pet(s) at a time so I can focus on their needs and help them feel comfortable and at home. My yard is unfenced, so dogs will always be leashed and supervised when outside. Inside, pets are welcome to get comfortable and are allowed on the furniture unless you prefer otherwise. I’m also familiar with crates and happy to follow your pet’s normal crate, feeding, walking, sleeping, and potty routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your pet’s routine and your space. I’ll follow all instructions closely, make sure doors and entrances are secure, keep dogs leashed during walks, and give you updates so you know how your pet is doing. I’m happy to discuss any special instructions, behaviors, or safety concerns beforehand so I can provide care that is tailored to your pet.
“Victoria is a delightful person and amazing animal whisperer. My cat went straight to V from the first visit, where as with most people and previous sitters he will ovoid and hide even people who have been to the house many times. On one occasion Victoria had to go the emergency room with her child and I could not believe that after being there for hours - she and her family came to our home around midnight to feed and play with our cat. If that’s not a strong recommendation I don’t know what is. Thanks Victoria for everything. We really value and appreciate you.”


About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I previously worked at a boarding dog/cat kennel, where I’ve been responsible for multiple dogs and cats. I’ve also been a pet owner my entire life and currently have a dog and three cats. Alongside having my pets, I have experience giving medication including pills and insulin injections for diabetes. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’ll make sure your pet is well cared for. I am currently unemployed, so I am very flexible with scheduling and have plenty of time to care for your pet! I do have some nighttime commitments for at most 2 hours twice a week (band rehearsal) but other than that I am free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my main priorities. I will follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, medications, walks, playtimes, and any other special care they need.
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!
“Very smooth and easy short notice planned booking. Jessie was very easy going and willing to ensure everything was as I left it. My dog is 13 and I didn’t want to board her. Jessie took very good care of my dog and 2 rabbits. Will definitely be using her services again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Colchester on Rover is $19.98 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,001 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Colchester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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.
