“I feel so lucky that we found Hannah! She is caring, patient, and so loving with my puppy. I know he will always be safe and spoiled when he is with Hannah so we will definitely be booking with her again.”
“We’ve had Tracey stop by our home twice now and could not recommend her more. She respects our home and our dog who can be picky about who he likes, loves her. She did phenomenal in reading his cues and being patient until he warmed up! Highly recommend Tracey!”
“Kandy was great with our girls! They were well taken care of and the house was clean upon our return. Our puppy had a last minute ear infection and she was able to continue her scheduled meds which was so helpful.”
About: I have been pet sitting, house sitting, & even plant sitting since I was 15. I am clean, tidy and trustworthy, you won’t even know I was there! As an animal lover myself, your pet is in good hands! During the week I do have a full time job, but do not let that push you away! Your pet will be my top priority before and after my shift! For weekends I am 100% free when need be! Majority of the time I will stay in your home with your pet. I will follow all rules you have and keep your space tidy. Keeping your pet in their space is usually the best way to keep unwanted stress off of your pet while their humans are away! So take that trip, your furbaby is in great care! I have 3 large dogs at my home, if you require your pet to stay with me, they MUST be good with other dogs. (Cats may not stay with me in my home.) This is only an “if needed” situation, I’d much rather keep your pet in your home.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three dogs received! From the moment we left, she kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos that gave us total peace of mind. It was so clear she treated them not just as clients, but as her own — they were loved, comfortable, and happy the entire time. We will absolutely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond!”
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'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: I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to senior dogs and cats with special needs. I’ve worked with plenty of families and multiple dog kennels over the years and I am now enrolled in school to become a vet. I currently work in a veterinary clinic where I have the privilege of caring for all different breeds of animals. I am trained in administering medication and supplements of all kinds as well as giving love and care to all animals with their own personalities and routines! I offer a flexible and reliable schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my routine. I plan my day around each clients needs, ensuring your babies receive consistent attention, timely visits, and dependable care every time. I make it a priority to be available when your pet needs me most! Caring for pets in their own home allows me to crate a safe, familiar, and stress free experience tailored to their needs. I take the time to build trust with both you and your pet by following routines closely, maintaining a clean environment, and providing attentive care at all times. I also keep you connected with daily photo and video updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. To go the extra mile I offer a complimentary bath with select services, so you get to come home to a clean, refreshed, and happy animal!
“Hannah is the best. She is flexible, timely and communicated with us throughout the process! Our pups were in good hands as we traveled out of the country and the peace of mind it gave us allowed us to enjoy our vacation!”
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!

“Jennifer and John took great care of our babies. They gave us updates and pictures throughout their stay. We were very hesitant to have strangers in our home but they took care of our home as if it were theirs, and we came home to a cleaner house than we left😊 highly recommend and would definitely use again. Our babies were happy, healthy and loved while in their care and that was the most important thing for us 💕”
About: I have had and been responsible for pets since I was a child. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats. We have pet fur on furniture and probably eat more treats than we should! I have the luxury of having summers off. I will be home full time to care for your fur baby from the end of May to the end of August! I have a full secure fenced in back yard. I have 2 friendly small dogs and 3 cats. My dogs have full access to outdoors at any time with a doggy door. We go for nightly walks, get treats through the day and have access to furniture.
About: Pet care experience that I have obtained through the years -Humane society work over 2 years (cats + dogs) -Doggy daycare work over 5 years (dogs all ages) - Babysitting for 2 families which had 2 dogs each for 5 years was used for vacations when their out of town or sporting events. I currently am a full time employee I work your typical 9-5. I have 2 little kiddos they will have sports during the week. The days I have free are weekends every weekend is available for me to utilize to take care of someone’s beloved best friend they hate to leave at home alone. When I care for pets I walk into the home and call their name so they know I am there. I get them out of their crate or room wherever they are take them outside immediately when I get there. And if they have toys I play for half an hour or so. Take them out again before I would leave. But sometimes I sit with them in the house because some pets like company and they like someone being there with them.But if there are specific needs I will accommodate anyone with requests on how they need me to take care of their dog.

FAQs for House Sitting - Colfax
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Colfax on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 133 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.
