“Tracey was so kind to help out with my stray kitty boy over the holidays!! She kept me updated with pictures and videos which really eased my mind.

My children are college age now and I have more time to on my hands and live animals so this was a natural fit!
About: Rover Bio Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15 years of experience as a dog owner, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. 🐾 I live an active, athletic lifestyle and love staying busy—whether that means getting outside for a walk, going for a run, playing in the yard, or simply enjoying some fresh air. I’m happy to match your pup’s energy level, whether they’re ready for an adventure or prefer a slower stroll. But don’t let the athletic side fool you—I’m also a huge fan of couch cuddles, and quality time. I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of the family and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, affection, and love while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pup has a safe, happy, and fun time!

“Our 3 dogs love her! Lena stayed in our home overnight while we were away. We highly recommend her. Two of our three dogs are on medication and it went very well. Thank you, Lena for your help. We will definitely book again.”
About: I've been taking care of so many animal friends since high school. My first job was working for a veterinarian. I was the kennel caretaker, making sure everyone was fed and walked (for dogs) and played with and such. The "cat room" was always my favorite. I would make sure the kitties would all get attention. It was the highlight of my shift. And I continue to bring joy to the kitties and puppers (as well as myself) through my pet-sitting duties. Now that I am back in Fairmont, I am free with a decent amount of notice for most pet care needs. My schedule is extremely open and flexible--I just need enough time to secure transportation. At home, I have a sweet and needy tabby named Billy Porterhouse. He is very easy and likes to sleep and eat treats and "patrol" the house. My parents' dog Madde is a black lab who puts up with Billy, as best as she can. I have been a trusted sitter for my close friends back in NYC and have gotten close with their dogs and cats. Always respectful of their space and am trusted with multiple keys and key codes, as well as feeding and medication schedules.
About: Though I do not have previous pet experience, I have grown up with dogs of my own and will ensure that your furry friends receive the care that I provide my own. I will treat each dog as part of my family! I currently work Monday-Thursday until around 4:00pm, so I could not help until the evening. I am flexible outside of that time and free most every weekend. My dog stays inside in a lovely air conditioned home. He is crate trained and I am able to crate train your dog as well. I walk my pup 2 miles most days.
About: I have been caring for dogs for over 16 years, and I truly love it. I currently have four friendly dogs, and I would be delighted to provide care for your pet as well. Why choose a kennel when you can leave your pet in a loving home? Your furry friend will enjoy walks, playtime, and lots of fun, so you won’t have to worry while you’re away. I live in a great neighborhood for walking, and I am available to care for your pet any day of the week. Your pet will have little time without human companionship. All of my dogs are friendly and welcome interactions with others. I encourage a meet-and-greet so you and your pet can feel comfortable before making a decision. I will ensure your pet stays on a schedule. I work less than 10 minutes away and can check in for lunch if needed; however, there will usually be someone home with your pet. We typically go for walks at least three times a day. In my household, your pet will become part of the family. I look forward to hearing from you! While I maintain a full-time job, my significant other works opposite hours, allowing them to provide care for your pet during the day while I’m at work. Together, we are committed to ensuring a consistent and nurturing daily routine for your furry friend. I have three friendly dogs who enjoy the company of other pets. When your furry friend stays with us, they will be treated like family and showered with love and attention. If needed, I can easily create a peaceful environment by separating pets in different rooms or kennels. My dogs are accustomed to welcoming visitors, and they happily share the spotlight, allowing me to focus on giving your pet the care and affection they deserve. Your pet will feel right at home!

About: I truly love animals and have been around them my entire life. I currently have dogs and cats of my own, so caring for animals is part of my everyday routine. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs patience, attention, and love. My home provides a safe and welcoming environment, including a fenced-in yard for dogs to play. My pets are friendly and accustomed to being around other animals. I treat every pet like a member of my own family and will provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel comfortable while they’re away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I have multiple dogs and cats of my own. I work full-time during the day, but I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and regular potty breaks. Your pet will be treated like family and cared for in a loving home environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a clean, pet-friendly home with a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. I currently have four friendly dogs and five cats who are well-socialized and used to being around other animals. I carefully monitor all pets, follow feeding and medication instructions, and provide a loving environment where they can feel safe, comfortable, and at home. If for any reason, you don’t feel comfortable with your animals being around mine, my dogs can go to my mother-in-law’s.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Colfax on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 134 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Colfax. 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 Colfax 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 Colfax 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 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!
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
