I do work a full time job but I work from home 4 days a week on a routine basis (monday, wednesday - friday).

“Kim was a life saver for us! Our pups do not do well in kennels and are not dog friendly, so having Kim do drop-in visits throughout the day was a total lifesaver! Our one dog has a reoccurring tummy issue that happens few months, unfortunately this happened while we were away. Kim helped keep an eye on her, and even cleaned up when she got sick. We will be using Kim again for any future sitting needs!”
“Jessica was amazing!! Our crew loved hanging out with her! She sent pics with every drop in and was very attentive to the group! Would 10/10 recommend her to anyone and we will be booking with her again!”
“Ashley was able to help us out on very short notice. We were at a wedding out of town and she came to our house to give our dog his afternoon medication. She actually sent a video of her giving the medication at the time we had scheduled with her. It’s amazing to find someone who really cared for our dog. We will definitely use Ashley again!”

Whether your dog needs potty breaks every few hours, lunchtime playtime, walks, medication administration, or simply someone there to keep them company, I’m happy to help! I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, and I truly treat every pet as if they were my own family member. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry loved one, and I pride myself on being attentive, patient, reliable, and loving. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years! I had dogs growing up and I have my own cat now. I also have my own turtle! I work full time but am able to let dogs out depending on distance throughout the day. I am more than willing to spend quality time with your animal! I am able to stay/visit at houses to support your pet. I am unable to bring cats or dogs into my house due to my cat being a solo cat (her preference).

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals from a very young age and have been dog sitting since I was 15.

I love to hang out with them and give them lots of pets as well as take them wherever I go as long as I am able to! If I need to check out from sitting for a bit for any reason, I make sure to leave them at home with some toys and leave them with a treat!
About: I have worked professionally with animals for 7 years. These jobs include two animal hospitals, an animal shelter, and even at a wildlife rehabilitation center where I am now a Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator. I also have a degree in Animal Behavior and have experience with dog training and working with exotics such as birds and rodents :) Finally, I have 2 cats of my own named Bitsy and Lemmy. My schedule rotates every two months due to our hospital being open every day of the week. Currently, I have off Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays. Please let me know a day in advance to ensure that I can be there on time for you and your pups! I have experience with fear-free training and positive reinforcement and will not use aversive techniques such as shock collars, prong collars, etc. Finally, if there aren't dietary restrictions I bring treats as well.
About: We've always had a family dog while I was growing up- a variety of breeds and sizes. The only time I was without a dog was the 4 yrs I was renting an apartment that wouldn't allow them. My family often pet sit for family on vacation and we recently had 2 Rottweilers in our home for 3 months while our friends relocated. We spent many years raising our five kids and now would love to pet sit for other busy pet loving families. We both have flexible work schedules which allow us to be available almost 24/7 for boarding, walks or drop-in pet care! We can fit in any care you need around our schedules. We live in a remote rural area of Germantown on 1.0 acres and have plenty of cozy living space inside. We can take your animals to our house or come to you! Whichever you'd prefer

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Colgate 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.
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 Colgate 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 .
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.
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 Colgate with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
