“Evelin came over twice prior to our drop-in visit to meet our two very apprehensive Mini Aussies and I think that went a long way in them being comfortable with her when she came in alone. We are very grateful for such wonderful care!”
“Natasha is a great sitter. She took great care of our cats when we were out of town for the holidays. We were nervous about using a new sitter but Natasha was willing to first have a virtual meet and greet and then stopped by to meet the cats and get aquatinted with our home. She was a great communicator. She made sure the cats were fed, to played with them and scooped their litter boxes. She also took care of of details like wiping cat eye goop and leaving the place very tidy. Natasha is a great sitter.”
“Laney is so good with my neurotic, "never stop barking" dog. She is patient, kind and punctual. Her communication skills are excellent. The boys 🐾 like her and we'll definitely use her services again.”
“Katie was reliable, caring, and great with my cats! She kept me updated with photos and I came home to happy, well cared for animals. I highly recommend her and would book with her again.”
“Amber was so friendly and timely, and provided tons of photos and videos while I was gone! She handled a mishap with my building locks very professionally and I’m looking forward to having her watch my cat again!”
About: Hello! My name is Nicole and I have one pup of my own. Her name is Kona and she’s a Labrador/English Pointer Mix. I enjoy spending time with dogs and cats of all sizes and will tire them out with play and exercise! I have been around dogs and puppies my whole life and come from a large family so I'm comfortable around many people and furry friends! I look forward to being your sitter/walker! I work from home so I’m available to care for dogs all throughout the day. I have a crate at home if needed and a couple extra dog beds. We have land for dogs to roam, but also walk regularly. My dog is a great companion and loves playing with other dogs! We don’t have a fence so dogs with good recall will enjoy it here the most.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11 years old. I’ve worked with a variety of dogs, cats, guinea pigs and bearded dragons. I'm currently in grad school so I work during the day. Weekends work best but I can also do weekdays; just ask! I'm happy to discuss scheduling with you. I do not care for pets in my home, but for my clients' homes, I make sure that the house is in perfect order when my client returns.
“Kendric and Jana were awesome. They were very flexible and worked with me on my last-minute changes to the schedule. They were kind and compassionate with my 15 year-old cat just recently diagnosed with an overactive thyroid which required medication. I had tremble administering the pills, and was frustrated by the process and so was Lucy, but Kendric calmly mixed the pills into her food and down they went. What a relief to me. They definitely have my recommendation.”
About: I’m a passionate pet sitter with professional training in Pet CPR/First Aid and Fear-Free certification, ensuring your pets are safe and stress-free. With experience caring for a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and small rodents, I understand their needs and behaviors. I’ve worked with pets of all temperaments, like a special Sphynx cat that needed extra attention and basic grooming. I’m also experienced in helping pets with fear and anxiety, including breeds like Bullies, and Labs who are afraid of thunderstorms. Trust in me to provide loving, attentive care for your pets, keeping them happy, healthy, and content. I start my mornings with yoga and breakfast drop ins, spend my afternoons with nail clients and training with my service dog, and end my days providing dinner drop ins and overnight stays. I value this calm, intentional routine because it allows me to provide loving, attentive care for my furry clients, and my own fur babes while continuing to grow personally and professionally. In you and your pet's home, I focus on following the guidelines you leave and respecting client confidentiality. These are my top priorities. I strive to keep routines consistent to minimize stress for your pets. This includes help with tasks like taking in the mail, and watering plants.
“Brittany did a great job taking care of Sharky. She was very professional and sent lots of photos and video of Sharky to me from each visit. I knew Sharky was well taken care of during our trip.”
About: I have grown up around and caring for various species of animals including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I have experience with animals of all ages through personal pet care, caring for friends and family's pets. I currently own a dog, bearded dragon, and a holland lop bunny. I currently work until 3pm so I will have plenty time to care for your loves! I am available most weekends and some holidays. My calendar will be up to date I have a large fenced in yard. It will have plenty of room for your baby to run around and have a great time. I have one dog that I own. He’s wonderful around other dogs and he loves to make new friends! There are also 3 other large dogs in the house from my roommates. They are good around other dogs and love making new friends, too! They are fixed. There are 3 cats, one outside and two inside. One bearded dragon and bunny which are in my room and shouldn’t be an issue.
“I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Jordan. She means it when she says she will care for your pets like they are her own, and she proved that to us in a way I won't forget. Jordan had checked in on our dog a couple of times the first day and again the following morning. On her last scheduled visit, she walked into the house to find that he had destroyed the kennel we were keeping him in and completely shredded a tarp. Instead of simply completing her check-in and leaving, Jordan immediately became concerned that he may have swallowed some of the tarp and could potentially have a blockage. I was still hours away from home, and Jordan insisted on staying with him until I could get back because she didn't feel comfortable leaving him alone. After talking it through, we decided the safest thing was to have her take him to a pet urgent care rather than wait for me to get home. Jordan did not hesitate for even a second. She took him to the vet, stayed with him, kept me updated, and made sure he was safe until I could get there. What was supposed to be a simple check-in turned into an incredibly stressful situation, and Jordan went so far above and beyond anything I could have expected from her. When someone is caring for your pet, you're trusting them with a member of your family, and Jordan treated our dog exactly that way. I will forever be grateful that she was the person looking after him that day. She truly means it when she says she cares for your pets like she does her own. I could not recommend Jordan more. ❤️🐾”
“Haydyn was awesome with our 2 cats, this only being their 2nd night ever without us here constantly. She gave them the companionship they needed most, & with her patience and persistence with them, they warmed up to her quickly! She took time to get them to play, their favorite thing. She kept usbup to date so se had great time without worrying about them. We will definitely be calling on Haydyn again!”
“Detail oriented. Asked relevant questions and followed instructions well. Sent lots of great pictures and updates. Was very understanding when we were required to make a schedule change. Definitely would book again.”

My responsibilities included supervising group play, administering medications when needed, feeding, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and ensuring every dog stayed safe and comfortable throughout the day. I’m also Dog and Cat CPR certified, so your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to build trust while providing plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. As of right now, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I’m currently between jobs while waiting to begin graduate school in the spring, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. Toward the end of August, I’ll begin substitute teaching, but my availability will still remain flexible outside of school hours. Whether your pet needs daytime visits, overnight care, or weekend attention, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities.

About: I grew up with Rottweilers. My parents had one when engaged, that made it until I was 3. We then got another for my 9th birthday, and two more after she passed in 2023. I have taken care of neighbors dogs, including walking and feeding, and know what it takes to look after any size or age of dog. I moved to NC in September, to be closer to my girlfriend in medical school. I currently work at NCSU at the vet school as an OR tech. I have worked in the veterinary field for 6 years now, ranging from basic general practice to trauma and surgery. I aspire to become a veterinarian, and hope I can start vet school in the next few years. I’m looking to get my own dog with my girlfriend now that I moved away from home, so we’re hoping this can help fund one! I appreciate your trust in watching your best friends, I promise to offer nothing but the best! I currently work 12-9 M-F. I do get an hour lunch, so anyone in the area near NCSU I can walk and visit on lunch otherwise, weekends are normally always free. My apartment complex is very large, and has a dog park provided. I will make sure I fit the needs of your pet, no matter where I am or what the task is. I plan to give your pet the best experience possible whilst respecting your home.
“Samantha did a great job visiting my Moxie. She visited her and walked her. She did more than requested and Moxie was tired out from all the attention. Samantha sent a lot of pictures of the visit, which aloud me to see how much fun Moxie was having. I will be using her again!”

Natasha is a very special person. She was able to handle my anxious dog better than anyone else who has taken care of him. She showed up when she said she would, asked great questions-Even those I had not thought of and was great with our pups-they love her. I also appreciated all the pictures. Highly recommended!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Colon is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,102 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Colon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Colon. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
