About: I’ve had experience with cats and dogs my whole life. My family has had various breeds of dogs from ragdoll, Pom, and weenie- to Rottweiler and German Shepard. I have experience with big and small dogs and have enjoyed them all. I’ve learned each pet like humans has their own individual needs, worries/ anxiety, etc. I have had just as much experience with cats of various personalities- and have loved each one of them. I can ensure your furry loved one will be in safe, loving, and thoughtful care! ♥️ I’m a mom and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have always had a special bond with animals. My days are centered around creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. If care is provided on weekdays, it would likely involve my son being around as well since he is part of my daily routine. He is gentle, respectful, and loves animals just as much as I do. Any interactions with pets would always be supervised, and I would make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’m happy to follow their routines and give them the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. When pets stay in my home, I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re away from their family. I know being in a new environment can be stressful for some animals, so I like to keep their routine as normal as possible by following their feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, and any instructions you provide. Every pet has their own personality, and I want to take the time and effort to know what makes them feel happy and secure.
“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’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.
“Megan was an absolute gem!!! I booked her very last minute (within 2 hours of me leaving for holiday) and she was able to stop by for a meet and greet with me and my squeaky! She eased my mind all weekend with pictures and updates of my sweet girl and spent time cuddling her during visits! Megan was very attentive and made sure to get as much helpful information about squeaks as possible before I left to ensure the best care! I highly recommend Megan and would absolutely book again!”
“Julie and Jay are very reliable. We have used them many times. They are very accommodating and do a great job with our dogs. We are thankful to have them as a resource, and I know I can count on them to come when they are supposed to and to follow the notes we leave. We even had them take special care of one of our dogs after she had surgery. Thank you Julie and Jay!”
“Christopher took excellent care of my cat, Grey! He was very attentive, made sure she was fed, and kept me updated throughout each visit with thoughtful messages and photos. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands while I was away. Grey looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I got home. I truly appreciate the care and communication, and I would absolutely book with Christopher again. Highly recommend!”
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.
“Abby was great! She responded to my initial request within 24 hours, stopped by to meet our cat, Oscar, before the actual booking. She was kind and Oscar liked her almost immediately which eased my mind on leaving for a few days.”
“Jes is great! We were so glad she was available on short notice to look after our cat Ghost. She was communicative and reliable while we were out of town for a long weekend - she and Ghost seemed to be fast friends!”
About: As a dog owner, I know how stressful it can be finding someone to help care for your animals while you’re at work, on vacation, or you just need a little extra help. I’ve had dogs of many breeds and sizes, lots of cats, and guinea pig, so I’m very familiar with those feelings and concerns. I’ve always loved being around animals, playing with them, and caring for them. During the pandemic, I taught myself how to train my dog Gus, and while I’m not certified trainer, I am familiar with all of the basic commands and am comfortable using them if your dog knows certain ones. I’m used to being around animals of all energy levels and personalities, so if your pet is high energy and needs lots of love and attention, you have a senior pet that likes to take things slow, or your pet is somewhere in between, rest assured that they will get the care they need and deserve! I currently have one dog, a Plott Hound named Gus, who loves walks, play time, and snacks. I love taking pictures of my dog, so you will get tons of pictures, videos, and updates about your pets too! I am a small business owner, so my schedule is usually pretty flexible. I own a bookstore that I manage full time, so some days during the week I would only be available early morning or after 6:30pm, but 3-4 days every week I am completely free! While I wouldn’t be able to bring your pets to my apartment, I would make sure they get all the care and love they need in the comfort of their home, whether that’s through walks, potty breaks, play time, snuggles, or feeding. Each animal will be treated just like my own.
“We are so grateful for Kiley taking care of our little Pearl. Kiley followed our care instructions and provided reassurance that our little Pearl was doing great while we were away. She was very reliable and comes highly recommended. We thank her from the bottom of our hearts for the love she provided to our precious Pearl.”
About: I work at a cat boarding facility part time and I also volunteer as a Care Director for a local rescue. I’m experienced with all animals including special needs animals. I work most days 8am til 1 pm but I’m available after noons and evenings. Mornings vary on schedule but I’m very flexible most days. Im a very clean and efficient person. I can tidy up after your pet along with being timely especially for animals who take medication or need extra care.
“Erika was absolutely amazing with my cat Suki! She went above and beyond to make sure Suki was well cared for. I really appreciated all the extra attention she gave my ‘spicy-towards-most-people” kitty - it was clear that Erika gained Suki’s trust. She was also patient when I accidentally gave her the wrong address. I would definitely book with Erika again! 💛”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Colfax is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $23 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,600 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Colfax. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Colfax. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
