“Wonderful sitter! Took extra care to spend time with our pets to make sure they weren't alone & provided us with updates. We'll absolutely be thrilled to work with Paul again for future trips.”
“I very much trusted and enjoyed having Bridget drop in for visits to help with our 13 yr old Yorkie. She was timely and took care of Lucy as asked for. I would certainly recommend her and I will reach out again as needed. Thank you, Bridget.”
“Madeline was an excellent pet sitter! She was kind, caring, and communicative throughout the time she cared for my cat, and she even checked in on my snake to make sure everything was okay. She followed all of my instructions carefully and gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were in great hands. I really appreciated her reliability and the love and attention she gave them. I would gladly have her pet sit for me again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Allison did a great job once again taking care of our pups while we spent a quick weekend away for the holidays. She is always communicative and ensures our dogs get the activity and attention they need. Also sends great photos of the time she has with them!”
“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!”
“Heather was really wonderful. I have 2 dogs who couldn't be more different, a senior hound and a 5 yr old malinois. She did great with both of them. Heather was willing to go above and beyond with the care of the dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs all my life. I grew up showing dogs, both my family dogs and others. My family back home currently has three dogs, each a different size, from small to large, so I have experience with all sizes. I live in a great area for casual walks, with a dog park and a small lake nearby for the pups that are allowed to swim! I work full-time, in-office Monday through Thursday and from home on Fridays. I take daily walks around my neighborhood in the evening. On weekends, I love exploring a new coffee shop and walking trail or just a longer walk in the areas near me. I’d love to bring your pet along with me on walks and for downtime on the couch afterwards! I don’t have a fenced yard, but there is a dog park where your pup can run freely. Outside of that, we have open grass areas where we can walk. All pups are welcome on furniture at my place and are welcome to enjoy the space as their own. I do have a patio that they’re more than welcome to sit outside and enjoy with me.
“Meghan did a wonderful job with our two dogs. She is very communicative with us and I know that our dogs get excited to see her! She definitely goes above and beyond to take care of them when we are away.”
“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!”
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!
About: I grew up with dogs, all my life and know how to take care of them and look after them and give them the care and love they need. I am looking for side hustles to make a bit of extra cash, so I am free throughout the week whenever you need a dog sitter or walker. In my house I always make sure that my dogs have fresh, clean and cold water to drink. I always take them on frequent walks in bathroom breaks.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, amongst another furry friends. I currently live on a mini farm and have 3 dogs, 2 cats and chickens and ducks! I am no stranger to animals to say the least. I believe in caring for animals as they should be and also be considerate of any needs. I will meet them where they are at. Right now, I am working 2nd/3rd shift so have my mornings free to do a let out and or walk. Once June 1st hits I will be available to do all day. My yard is fenced in right now which adds a level of security for my own dogs. I will adhere to client wishes for proper care for their dogs. For example, if they wish for me to use a leash while outside with the dog I will do so.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Colgate on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,118 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.
