“Nadia was absolutely amazing!! She took such great care of my baby girl!! she pays great attention to detail and was able to help me a lot when it came to my puppies potty routine. I work overnight shifts so having someone as caring and amazing as Nadia helped ease my anxiety while I was at work! 10/10 recommend💗💗💗. Will definitely be booking with her again!!!”
“Molly has been walking our dogs for a couple of weeks, and we couldn’t be happier! Our dog, Finn, is pretty nervous and weary of strangers, but Molly has been really patient with him! Would 100% recommend”
“Jayne watched our two dogs for three nights while we were out of town. One of our dogs is anxious and takes some time to warm up to new people but Jayne didn’t bat an eye during the meet and greet. It’s clear she has experience handling a wide variety of temperaments and Winnie warmed up to her quickly. We came home to two very happy dogs and a clean house. Grateful to have found a trustworthy person who seems to enjoy connecting with a variety of doggy personalities.”
“Mark was amazing with our dog, going above and beyond with him when we were out of town. We have a high energy dog and mark took him on several long walks. He was really great about sending photos too! And he took great care of our cat , checking on her multiple times . We look forward to working with him again soon!”
“Anh was wonderful with our dog Wilbur- she sent us updates and was really sweet to him. She stayed over at our place which we appreciated because our pup can get a little anxious. Anh left us a very nice note and left the house very clean. We will definitely be reaching out to Anh again until the future for dog care!!”
“Mark was very attentive and caring towards my two dogs during a weekend trip. He easily managed their routine and won the heart of my very anxious chihuahua. Highly recommend!”
“Audrey-Anne was amazing!! So communicative and clearly very knowledgeable and trained on dog behaviors of all types. Really appreciate her expertise and kindness with our pup!”
“This was the first time that I worked with Bradley and had him both house sit and most importantly dog sit for my 135 lb. mastiff mix dog. He did a great job caring for Bosco; Bosco was in great shape when I returned from my trip. Bradley also cared for the house, getting the mail, checking for damage after a major thunderstorm and then letting me know that everything was ok. When I returned everything was in great condition and clean. I would not hesitate to ask Bradley for help when the need arises.”
“When I needed a sitter to hang with our rambunctious puppy for an evening, Taylor impressed me immediately with how promptly she communicated - even while traveling. She made time for a meet and greet, was extremely prompt, and sent us lots of updates and photos. We came home to a content and sleepy pup, and can’t thank her enough. We’d gladly book her again!”
“The Best! Wayne and Jordan were amazing with my two rescue huskies while I was on vacation. The dogs are generally very cautious of strangers, and they were going through some sibling rivalry and needed to be kept apart - on separate floors of the house. Wayne and Jordan’s pet-sitting experience and patience were apparent in their daily communications and photos. It was great to see how the girls warmed up quickly! Each pup got lots of attention and exercise, and they were calm and happy when I got home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The icing on the cake - the bedding was all washed and the house was clean when I got home. Highly Recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“MJ was outstanding. Our regular sitter wasn't able to watch our dogs for our 10-day vacation, but MJ was able to step-in and take care of them like they were her own. She also took care of our tortoise and watered our plants while we were gone. I can't recall the last time I was on vacation and not worrying about our dogs back home. I would book MJ again in a heartbeat.”
“Amy is a gem! We did not plan on having a small kitten along with our two adult cats when we planned a trip, and realized a house sitter was needed to continue monitoring and acclimating our cat fam. Amy responded to all communication promptly, sent pics and updates throughout, and left our house immaculate. We came home to cats who were relaxed and happy. Highly recommend Amy's services, she is a trustworthy professional.”

“Jocqueisha cared for my pittie for a week. I appreciated her flexibility as my departure and return times needed to be adjusted, and her regular communication, sharing updates and photos throughout each day I was away. She even gave Buster a bath!”
“Amanda was absolutely incredible! We feel so lucky to have found her on Rover. She was professional, punctual, communicative, and took such great care of Chloe. She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated, and left our home exactly as she found it. Most importantly, we felt completely comfortable knowing Chloe was in such good hands. We can’t wait to book with Amanda again! Highly recommend her! ❤️”
About: As a dedicated cat lover, I know that cats are most comfortable when their routines, territory, and personal boundaries are respected. Whether your cat is an outgoing socializer who wants immediate playtime or a sensitive soul who needs a quiet presence and time to warm up, I adapt my approach to fit their unique personality. I focus on providing low-stress, highly reliable drop-in visits and care. I understand that subtle changes in a cat's behavior or appetite matter, and I pay close attention to the small details that keep them feeling safe and happy while you are away. I’m currently retired after 27 years as a federal civil servant. I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry family members and house sitting needs. I am experienced in managing multi-cat dynamics, tracking wellness routines, and creating a calm, predictable environment. I would love to schedule a free meet-and-greet to get to know you and your cats before booking.

We highly recommend Danielle! Her and her husband were so sweet with our little pup and so caring. She has been really communicative and clear. Our dog had a great time and we felt that she was in good hands! We appreciated all the photo updates throughout the stay. We will definitely book her again.
We cannot possibly overstate how spectacular Thalia is as a pet sitter! She took care of our pup and our house for a week and it was such a delightful experience. Thalia communicated with us and sent us dog pictures regularly, took care of deliveries to the house while we were gone, took our dog Fig on lots of great walks, and left the house in better condition than we left it! We will absolutely go to Thalia first any time Fig needs care!
Monica was great! This was our first time using her and we were gone for two weeks so we were a little nervous. She kept in touch and sent us lots of pictures and updates so we could keep tabs on our guy. She followed the requested schedule and even came over the day we left to run through everything again since our initial meet and greet was over a month before we left. To top it off after an almost 30 hour travel day we walked in to a clean house. Not only did she tidy her space but she also cleaned/vacuumed. Such a relief to come home to. Would definitely use her services again
We had a wonderful experience with Nadia as our house and dog sitter! This was her first stay with us, and she immediately made us feel comfortable leaving our home and our two dogs in her care. Nadia was incredibly communicative, attentive, and thoughtful throughout her stay. She kept us updated on how the dogs were doing, made sure they were fed and taken outside, and even asked questions about their routines when she wasn’t sure about something. She was also very respectful of our home and followed all of the little instructions we left for her. What really stood out to us was how much she genuinely cared about making sure the dogs were comfortable and taken care of. She even reached out for advice when one of the dogs was giving her a little trouble with his diaper, which showed us that she was patient and willing to make sure she was doing things the right way. By the end of the stay, we felt completely comfortable with Nadia. In fact, we’re having her come back to watch our two dogs for 9 nights while we’re away on our upcoming trip, which says a lot about how positive our experience was. Nadia was friendly, responsible, communicative, and treated our dogs and home with care. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets and their home!
I had never met Emily before our meet and greet, so this was my first experience with her housesitting for my two kittens. Do not be put off by her low number of reviews on the platform - snatch Emily up when you can and help her grow her business on here. During the meet and greet and during her time watching Enzo and Romeo, she was thoughtful, respectful, and asked good questions. She was wonderful with the cats, they looked so happy in all the photos and videos she sent each day. We came back, as others have mentioned, to a very tidy apartment, and she had even washed the sheets which was so appreciated but not necessary! Our boys were so soft (and we can tell they are happy and healthy by the quality of their coats) so they were clearly happy and healthy after Emily cared for them. We will be thrilled to hire her again and trust her to care for our babies!
Grace took great care of our two pups! We were in a pinch when our dog care fell through, but Grace jumped in to schedule a quick M&G before she stayed with Olive and Penny for the weekend. She sent a lot of updates, and left our house very tidy. Would definitely recommend!
Madison did an excellent job watching my two cats while I was away for a week. One of my cats needs daily liquid medicine and she quickly learned how to give the meds safely and efficiently. Madison sent daily updates and photos, and when I returned, my apartment was spotless. I look forward to hiring Madison again soon!
Atiya was amazing! She stayed at our house for a week and took care of two dogs and a cat. One of the dogs went on a hunger strike and she was patient and creative in trying to get her to eat. She eventually shared her own dog’s food and treats, and that worked! Then she left a baggie of it for us when she left. Incredibly kind and a great communicator. The house was perfect when we got home as well. Highly recommend Atiya!

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 Colmar Manor 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 Colmar Manor 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Colmar Manor 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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
