“This was the second time booking Tricia to visit my cat while I was out of town. Tricia provided a great service as usual and Smokey was happy to see her again.”
“Jill did an amazing job looking after my two kitties! She was on-time, followed instructions, and sent updates with pictures from each visit. She played with them and it was evident from the photos how comfortable they were with her. She provided the peace of mind I need to enjoy a weekend away. Will definitely be booking Jill again!”
“We love Angie! She went above and beyond this time bc we had an issue with our HVAC develop while we were away and she communicated quickly and efficiently to let us know and help us get it resolved.”
“Morgan has been amazing with my three senior pups! She has been coming for drop in visits for quite a while now and I am so thankful to have found her! She always sends detailed updates at every visit and multiple adorable pictures! She makes sure to stay in contact if there are any concerns at all; I know I can trust my pups with her. My pups really enjoy when she visits and I think they're wondering where she is on the days she doesn't come to say hello to them. So grateful for Morgan and would highly recommend!”
“Michael was personal and professional! He made sure to ask questions about our normal routine, our dog’s preferences, and made an effort to do a meet and greet before we officially booked. He is great with dogs and our 5 month old puppy Goose loved him so much. He took such great care of Goose and sent us pictures afterwards. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Lola is so sweet and my dog really seems to enjoy his time with her. Anytime I texted her to check on my pup she was there to answer almost immediately. I will definitely be booking her again. She was super understanding and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to watch after my puppy while I was away.”
About: Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic playtime, or quiet cuddles, I'm committed to providing any level of care and love your pet may need. I've been around dogs for most of my life, including breeds of all sizes from small Terriers and Pomeranians to large Hounds, Pointers, and Airedales. I've spent many years caring for my own pets, family pets, and other animals like chickens, donkeys, and horses through my experience in 4H. Those experiences taught me the importance of responsibility and treating every animal with kindness and respect. My goal is to help you feel at ease knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I have a very flexible work schedule, so I am available to provide drop in visits and dog walks at any time of day on Monday through Friday. Since I offer drop in visits and dog walks, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll closely follow any special instructions or routine you provide. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own, cleaning up any pet related messes and accidents.
“We went out of town for 2 weeks & they took awesome care of our 2 cats! They made us feel really comfortable, great communication while we were gone, sent us photos, & even brought in our packages. We are really happy to have found people we can trust, & will be using them every time we travel. Thank you so much!”
“Karina did a wonderful job caring for our senior cat. She was responsible and had good communication, so we felt our cat was in good hands while we were away. She also took the initiative to clean the litter box without my asking, which was very thoughtful. Thank you, Karina!”
“Ashley did a fabulous job. She committed to the schedule, was on time each visit. Spent quality time with our baby, took photos and gave us a brief update of each visit. I cannot recommend Ashley enough! She treated Bogey as though he belonged to her, gave him lots of cuddles.”
“America did such a good job with our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we were on vacation for a week. She kept their areas neat and clean, gave the dogs plenty of time outside, and gave us thorough notes and photos for each visit. We knew every day that our pets were well taken care of and we were able to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. We will definitely book America for our next trip!”
“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!!”
“Celina is wonderful! My boys have a great time with her (I can tell from the pictures, how they act, and where their toys are). She even cleans so that I’m walking into a tidy house and gives one cat his special nutritional supplement. They think it’s a great treat to have her over, and she puts my mind at ease when I’m traveling.”
“Danielle is super sweet! It’s lucky that we have similar schedules of need vs availability. She loves loving on Captain and I love that they get along great! Very grateful for Danielle and all of her help!”
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Colfax on Rover is $18.87 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,649 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Colfax. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
