“Meghan was very attentive to our elderly cat, Iggy (19). We also have Nova (11) and one foster kitty (2). I received pictures and summary each day. Meghan would summarize Iggys feedings. This put us at ease when traveling”
“Nicole is awesome! She was great with my puppy - he took to her immediately. Easy to communicate with, arrived perfectly on time, and sent fast updates with adorable pics. I would definitely rebook in the future.”
“Paul is very good with my elderly cat. I loved the pictures and the updates! I was able to relax while away knowing that Maynard was in good hands with Paul! I've already got Paul engaged for my next trip!”
“This was our first time having Karlee care for our pups and we will 1000% be having her care for them in the future! The communication was perfect, and you could tell she really cared for them as her own! We got photos and updates throughout the stay! She was so sweet and kind! But also knew her dog knowledge! Definitely booked with Karlee!”
“Mackenzie was great! She did a stop in visit to feed my three cats and went above and beyond. Not only did she send plenty of photos, she also took a quick look at the litter boxes. Would go with again!”

We live in a Quiet Menomonee Falls neighborhood. Have have a .6 acre Fenced in yard. A very low traffic area with a vast variety of daily dog walkers. Can’t wait to meet your furry child!! Big or Small I LOVE them all!!! I work from home Monday-Friday 8:00am-5:00pm. Bruno, Buster and I still have plenty of Time to play! Bruno and Buster would love to take a snooze with your fur baby as well. I have a fenced in yard, 2 friendly Pugs, 2 kids, 5 Persian cats and a Husband to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if you require us to do so.
“Seamless experience with Madeline! Our cats were well taken care of while we were away. She also sent us tons of photos which was a plus. Highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies while you are gone :)”
About: • I’ve had and cared for dogs my entire life (~25 years of experience) and cats for the past 10 years • Comfortable with all breeds and ages • Previous dog-walker for an animal shelter • 2 years experience as a veterinary assistant • Specialty: caring for high energy dogs / working breeds (ex: shepherds, malinois, and my own doberman!) • Other skills: animal behavior recognition, training, general first aid, senior and puppy pet care, medication administration/management I currently work part-time, so i have plenty of availability throughout the week, though my work schedule is different each week. Just let me know when you’d like help and we can work together to find what works! I am available for drop-ins. I am NOT available for overnight stays. I understand it can be a weird feeling having a new person come into your home (especially for your pet)! As a guest in your home, I am respectful and patient as your pet gets comfortable with me. I try my best to follow your pets lead, while also being a leader for them. I’ve cared for dogs and cats in other people’s homes many times and prioritize the safety of their home. For example, making sure it’s locked up and left how I found it when i leave, making sure the collars and leashes are secure before walks, and ensuring pets don’t escape when i open the door haha!
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! Growing up with both dogs and cats, I was the pet caretaker in my family—handling daily walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles. Those early experiences sparked a love of caring for animals. For the past 4 years, I've been dog walking and pet sitting for a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, belly rubs, or playing fetch, I'm happy to match their energy and routine. I am available in the morning and anytime after 3pm in the evenings. On the weekends I am available all day. My goal is to make pet care as convenient for both you and your animals! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I am committed to providing a safe and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. If your pet has specific needs, routines, or accommodations, I am happy to make adjustments in my care routine to ensure they feel comfortable. I make sure every pet gets the walks, playtime, supervision, and companionship they need each day!
“Madison took great care of our cat. Arrived at the agreed upon time, fed and played with him. She even cleaned up a little mess he made. Great experience. Will hire her again.”
About: I've owned a dog for ten years at home. I also have taken care of various neighbors' and friends' dogs as they relied on me to walk, feed, and play with the dog. I have boarded a dog for a month last summer. I now care for my own dog in my apartment. I currently have an easy schedule with one class a day where I would not be in the apartment. However, due to having three other roommates there is typically always somebody in my apartment. I have a very friendly dog who would love to play with others but she can also relax in her crate as needed. We have a fenced-in courtyard that dogs can run around in too!
“Heather did a wonderful job dropping in to help with my two cats while I was on vacation. She came over for a meet and greet beforehand to understand their needs and was even willing to put some jelly in my Oriole feeder during the week. She is reliable and trustworthy and I will definitely have her come over again!”
“Sophie was wonderful with Reign! She came on short notice to let her out, play with her, and make sure she was fed and well cared for. She was dependable, caring, and gave us peace of mind knowing Reign was in good hands. We really appreciated her flexibility and how great she was with Reign. We will definitely be requesting Sophie again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for friends and neighbors for almost 10 years. I have helped raise puppies while nannying, and have dog sat overnight for years! I have an energetic lovable 9 month old lab of my own who would love to have a friend to play with! I’ve cared for sick pets, puppies, and adult dogs. I’m experienced with bathing pets, love long walks and playing in the yard. I always make sure there is plenty of enrichment time. I am available during all hours of the day as I’m a stay at home mom currently. I’m available all hours of the day on weekends. I have a large yard and a lovable pup who can be a companion to your pet! She has gone to daycare for months so is fully socialized and always wants to play with anyone who is interested. We have a camera in our crate room to make sure everything is alright when we are away. We have a full room that is pretty much empty designated for dog toys and treats! I will make sure your pet gets all the love and attention they deserve while you are gone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Colgate on Rover is $16.05 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 2,067 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Colgate. 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 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.
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 Colgate. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
