“We are very grateful to Bryce and Nate for caring for our Stella! This was our first time hiring a pet sitter (aside from friends and family) and we were pleased with how well things worked out. Both Bryce and Nate are very friendly and Stella warmed up to them right away. From the get go the communication was great, and we felt confident that she was being well cared for. We will definitely ask them to help out again!”
“Jessica was an incredible pet and house sitter! She took such wonderful care of Shadow, and it was obvious that she was happy and well loved while we were away. Jessica kept us updated, gave us complete peace of mind, and left our home spotless. We are so grateful for the excellent care she provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. We would happily have Jessica watch Shadow again!”
“Sarah did an amazing job with a last minute booking. She took on 3 working dogs, one of whom has heart issues, medications, and special feeding instructions. She and I stayed in communication the whole time and it went off without a hitch…on my end anyways. Sarah was willing to come back in case of any travel issues which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely use her again as I came home to 3 happy dogs!”
“I couldn’t have asked for better person to watch our girl, Chutney. Sandra is kind and conscientious. Our muppet received lots of love, cuddles, belly rubs and playtime during our absence. The house was immaculate upon our return and Sandra went beyond expectation when an unexpected plumbing issue required attention Communication was excellent.”
“Alyssa did a great job taking care of my dog while I was gone! I got pictures, updates, and she even went to get him a new leash because his snapped, so that my boy could still enjoy his walks while I was gone! She went above and beyond and I would highly recommend her to care for your pets. 😊”
“Neil was so thoughtful and took great care of our home and our dog Apollo! We received photos & updates as we requested. Not only did the house look exactly as we had left it, but our dog was happy to see us and didn’t behave as though he was starved for attention—which meant Neil must have been super attentive to his needs. THANK YOU NEIL!!! We’ll definitely use you again!”
“Ashley watched my elderly dog for 5 nights on our first booking and I came home to a happy and spoiled pup, a clean house, mail on the kitchen table… everything as I would hope. I received lots of pictures and videos and I can just tell my dog was so well cared for. Feeling really thankful and I’ll definitely be hiring Ashley again in the future.”
“Kristina and winter are awesome. Kristina understood the assignment of working dogs and killed it. Good communication, problem solver, and the dogs were still alive when I returned. Winter provided a job for Siouxxsie and Saxxon which kept them busy looking out for him. Definitely a keeper house sitting duo”
“Zack was the perfect dog & house sitter for us - he spent tons of time with our dog (and sent us plenty of photos), kept our wood burning stove going to keep the house warm, and even stacked wood for us when a delivery showed up while we were out of town. Webster was excited to see us, but I think he would have been fine if it was Zack walking back in the house instead!”
“Cats got plenty of attention and companionship as far as we could tell. Good communication and photos sent to us during her stay. We were a disappointed to find both water bowls were almost empty, one had dead flies in it, and the litter box had not been scooped for what looked like a number of days when we got home. These were things we had asked her to do daily.”
“We are very happy Madison agreed to watch our fur army in our home. Her communication was fantastic. She kept us updated on how they were doing and when we arrived back home, our house was very neat and tidy and our fur babies looked like they had a great weekend! We highly recommend Madison and we hope she will be available for the next time we have to go away!”
About: Hi! I’m Jenna, a professional animal caregiver dedicated to keeping tails wagging and paws moving. I have a genuine love for animals and a passion for the outdoors. I provide safe, reliable, and fun walks that keep your dog happy, healthy and well exercised. Whether that’s a walk within your neighborhood or an adventure out in the woods, I tailor each outing to fit your dogs unique personality. I treat every pet as my own, with patience, kindness and plenty of belly rubs and scratches. You can count on me for punctual service, photo updates and peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in good hands. Let’s make every walk your dog’s favorite part of the day! I currently work full time, but my schedule is pretty flexible! I have one cat that lives with me and he is the king of the castle! At your home, I have no problem crating your pets or letting them free roam, whatever is their normal routine, I will cater to their needs! I currently work full time (Monday-Friday) but could make pit stops before and after work! If needed, I can also swing by during my lunch break if it’s not too far out of town :) I currently am not in a home that could provide boarding, however I plan to take on the roles that you provide to your pets to make them feel safe in their home.
About: I have over 6 years experience of house/pet sitting(from another website) caring for a variety of animals, fish, dogs, birds, cats, goats, a donkey, a llama and chickens. I am comfortable and confident with almost all domestic animals. I am a retired Registered Nurse with over 30 years experience in various fields of medicine. I am now a full time house and pet sitter travelling around(by car) the continental US and Canada caring for other's beloved fur family. My past nursing experience plus my 6 years of house/pet sitting has made me highly observant and attentive to the smallest details. While I am calm and easygoing I am also excellent in challenging and emergency situations being both independent and self reliant. I love dogs and cats but do not have any of my own due to my gypsy like lifestyle. I have traveled a fair bit in my life having a curious mind and a zest for learning and experiencing new things. I am very neat and clean.....so your home will be just as you left it while respecting your property.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 186 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cole. 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 Cole 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 Cole 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 Cole 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 Cole. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
