“Absolute lifesavers, they were able to add additional drop-ins at the last minute when my girl got sick and needed twice daily meds. Also were able to pick up the meds for me since they weren’t ready before I left town. Fantastic reports and pics after each visit, their thorough communication really put me at ease so I could enjoy my vacation knowing my cat was in good hands. Looking forward to having them watch my girl again!”


“We just moved to the area and the doggos were a little anxious about all the change - especially since I had to travel for work. Lindsay was great with them and did midday check-ins and played with them outside while my husband was at work. It was such a relief getting the updates and knowing how they were doing, she sent pictures as well :)”

About: I’ve personally had dogs my whole life! I have experience with caring for senior dogs as well as puppies. I have a special place in my heart for labs, but I love them all! I’ve yet to meet a dog I don’t like. I have experience is administering meds, crate training, and providing overall care to your pet 😀 As a dog owner myself, caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. For boarding, I offer Thursday evening drop-offs, and pets must be picked up by Sunday. This helps me ensure each pet gets the best care possible during their stay In my home, pets are treated like family. I have two friendly dogs of my own, Sunny and Ruby, so I understand the importance of maintaining a safe, loving, and structured environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I also make sure pet parents receive regular updates and photos so they can feel confident their furry family member is happy and well cared for
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, my whole life, both big and small. Friends and family have relied on me to watch over their pets on multiple occasion. I’ve worked with pets who have to be fed and walked at certain times. I worked full-time. That being said I’m available Monday through Friday after 5 PM and I’m available all day Saturday and Sunday. Every pet is different and I am full prepared to ensure that your pet is well taken care of. I can ensure timely feeding and walks while also ensuring they receive the attention and playtime they need.
“Thank you Christopher for your help. He was great with communication and he even arrived early for the check ins. I have a 1 year old and she is still potty training and gets anxious while I’m away. She left a surprise, but he was still willing to help and clean it up and I really appreciate that and still felt bad. I’m grateful he took the extra step, thank you.”

“Danielle was great and very professional! She helped take care of my cats while I was on vacation and administered medications to one of them everyday. I felt comfortable being away on my trip with her there to take care of them! She did more than what was expected! Highly recommend!”
“Prompt, responsable, and most importantly, kitty approved! My shy girls hung around for a peek and even let Megan grab a pic. We would highly recommend Megan and will definitely ask her to pet sit for us again.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for most of my life, whether they were my own or belonged to family and friends. I treat every animal I meet with the respect they all deserve, and love them in the way that’s best for them- whether that is with lots of affection, or appreciating their need for space. I do have some limited experience with seniors. (Helping with a dog who can no longer lift himself up to go outside, keeping an eye on both cats and dogs who are older and need more supervision.) I am not currently employed elsewhere, so my availability is mostly very open. I have my child every other week, and those weeks may be more limited, but I will still try to make sure I help out as much as possible while said child is in school! On the weeks without, I am available starting any time after 6 in the am, until 7/8 in the evening. If you need occasional help outside of those hours, just let me know and I can try to accommodate! I am not currently offering care in my home, but I will treat your pet with respect and kindness every step of the way in yours! I do best when given instructions I can follow to the letter, making sure I am following any and every suggestion or guideline you have. I am more than happy to spoil your fur baby with love, or give them all of the space they may need- whichever is best for their particular needs. I am perfectly comfortable with pet cams, ring doorbells, etc- whatever makes you feel confident that your pets are being treated properly! No request is too small, and I take every single detail seriously when taking care of your animal. As a pet owner, I know how hard it can be to let someone you don’t know take care of them, and I will do whatever I can to ease that for you.
“Both of my cats enjoyed Mackayla’s visits. One has always been the one who hides but by the third visit he came out from hiding and allowed her to pet him and play with him! Mackayla is thoughtful and pays attention to your home! BRAVA!!”
About: I was raised on a farm with cats and dogs. I have a plott hound mix, a pit bull, a lab, and a sassy calico cat, all rescues, of my own. I have a lot of compassion for animals and treat them like members of the family, albeit spoiled ones. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while their human(s) are gone. I am comfortable with cats and small to large dogs at any energy level. My neighbors, vet, and friends can provide references, if needed. I work in education, so my summer schedule is wide open. Nights, weekends, and some holidays are possible during the school year. I am able to check in, walk, stay overnight, etc. In your home, I will follow the instructions given and take pictures to let you know your pets are well taken care of. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible while their humans are away.
About: If you need caring, compassionate, reliable, loving service for your furry sweethearts I am available to make them the center of attention. With me they get a bit of a holiday themselves. My work takes me oceanside for extended periods: so when I’m available to house/pet sit for you, I am devoted to all their needs. Presently I am auntie to several cats and dogs that for more than a decade I have been house/pet sitting. I have also cared for horses, goats, chickens, geese and peacocks. I love learning animal’s individual personalities and ingratiating myself in to their familial pack. In my life I have owned a German Shepherd, a Malinois and a Husky as well as numerous cats. I grew up walking the dog, so I prefer to exercise the canines regularly. Playtime for everyone will include some brushing. I have no problems giving oral medications or injections. And I have cared for sick animals of my own as well as others. My entry in to your home will be with complete respect, integrity and detailed consideration. My references will tell you how I am attentive not only to your pets but your home: be it garden or plant care, and most especially having your home be as if you had never left upon your return.
“Holly has been fantastic with my 9 week old GSD puppy. She communicates promptly before and after her visit. She is a weekly visitor and I know that Dakota is in good hands.”

About: I’ve lived in a home with dogs for my entire life. The last 13 I’ve had the privilege of caring for my own fur-babies. I lost my oldest in 2023 and I understand how our animals become family. I also empathize with senior animals who may need more attention and have to follow specific diet and medication schedules. Our animals deserve the best care; what’s the saying? Who really saves who? I currently work full time near the airport in Greensboro and am available for house sitting including overnight stays, lunch time potty breaks, after 5-6pm care during the week, and weekends. I unfortunately live in a rental that does not allow extra pets. I’m available to come to your home and into your pets space to make them feel comfortable and cared for when needed— following any instructions and set routines in place.
“Matt provided an abundant amount of attention to our Maxie. He comunícate with us on every visit and our hearts were touched with all the happiness. We had no worries and we’re able to enjoy our family vacation. Thank you Matt for loving Max as much as we do.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Colfax
Bella is extremely sweet. I was concerned my giant breed mix rescue (10 months old with a mouthing problem) might be too much of a handful to ask of any sitter, but she stepped in enthusiastically and I have nothing but positives to say. I got multiple photos each visit (Monday-Friday), a fairly detailed rundown (including my dog’s energy levels, training progress, etc.), and Tulip has been in a great mood every evening when I come home from work. This was my first time having a caretaker for a pet, so I was very nervous (especially about my house being a mess) but I gained so much relief from the help and would absolutely recommend Bella to anyone looking for help.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Colfax stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Colfax 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Colfax with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
