“Tia is a very reliable person sitter. She made sure my kitties were well taken care of while I was away. I’m for sure asking for her help again whenever I am out of town. Thank you so much!”

“Does a great job keeping my ferrets' space clean for them and keeping up with meds for my cats and ferrets. Is very punctual and I know my pets will get taken care of on schedule when she is booked, which really helps with the stress of being away from my fuzzy guys.”

About: I have a lot of animal experience over the years from having and owning my own pets, and caring for friends and families furbabies. I've helped foster some kittens and cared for animals that are unwell that need close attention. I'm looking to help and be more involved in animal care, as they mean so much to me. Once I start caring for your animal, they're apart of my family too ❤️ My schedule is relatively flexible. I can care and watch for them anytime from 8am-5pm on the dates I have available, I'm willing to do night care but I prefer during the day. Overnight stays are something to be discussed, as each situation is unique. My pets are very spoiled. The ones I live with now were my partners before coming into the relationship, but they quickly stole my heart. Khloe (Akita dog) loves her cheese, butter and chicken, she free roams our yard in colona, and goes on multiple car rides and adventures. I walk her at least twice a week, but she's older and has difficulty keeping up. Kourtney (tabby cat) loves to get pets when it's on her terms, has an rbf, and speaks her mind. She's not mean, doesn't attack others or hiss at people, but she's stands further away to observe more than participate. These two absolutely love each other, and cuddle all the time. Any time I watch my friends animals I really stick to the schedule or plan that's given to me. Even all the quirky things that they need to feel comfortable while you guys are away. The animals feeling comfort, safety, and love is always the number 1 priority.

“Juliet was absolutely WONDERFUL with my dog, Lucy! She took such great care of her, including administering medication carefully and responsibly, which gave me real peace of mind. Juliet also kept me updated with frequent messages and photos, so I always knew Lucy was happy and in good hands. She truly went above and beyond, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”

“Courtney was amazing caring for Peanut. Peanut likes to hide when we are gone. We did show her his hiding spot. She was great at sending us pictures of him. And as time went on, he even came out of his hiding spot and rubbed up against her leg. So that was amazing!! She took excellent care of him and I would highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had fur babies in my life since the day I was born. 🐾 As an adult, my husband and I have shared our lives with six dogs and two cats. To me, they’ve never been “just pets”—they are my babies, my kids, and a huge part of our family. ❤️ They have been my comfort, my companions, and my saving grace in more ways than I can count. The only time they’ve ever broken my heart is when it was time to say goodbye and watch them cross the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈🐾 Today, we share our home with Lucy, Leo, and Louie. Lucy and Leo are brother and sister from the same mixed-breed litter, and Louie is our full-blooded German Shepherd. They fill our home with love, laughter, fur, and plenty of personality! 🐶💕 Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. 🐾 With three fur babies of my own, my daily routine includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of attention. Caring for your babies would fit naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to make sure they get the love and care they need. ❤️ In between loving and enjoying my own fur babies, I’d love to spend time loving and caring for yours too! 🐾❤️ I’ll make sure your babies are fed, have plenty of fresh water, and get all the attention they deserve. We’ll go for walks, play in the backyard, enjoy lots of cuddles, and, of course, play that wonderful game where they bring me the ball—but refuse to give it back so I can throw it again! 😂🎾🐶 Most importantly, I’ll care for your babies just like I would want someone to care for mine—with lots of love, patience, and attention. ❤️🐾

About: I have had cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, rats, fish, hermit crabs, tarantulas and many other types of pets of my own (cats and dogs my whole life) as well as cared for friends and family's pets since I was a little kid. I also volunteered at many local animal shelters in my late teens. I also have experience with different types of special needs animals; mostly cats in that aspect. (Paralyzed, deaf, blind, epileptic, diabetic and tri-pod) My daily and weekly schedule changes with my regular work schedule and my kids school schedule, but I am typically available during day time hours on weekdays, most likely at least one available night time drop-in available and can make myself available on Saturdays, if need be. Your pet will be more comfortable in an familiar environment such as their own home, so I would prefer to see them in their own home. I ask you leave a note somewhere prominent (i.e. kitchen table or counter) with quick point reminders of food/water bowl locations, food locations, treats, and any special reminders such as medications w/ times. I will take time to get to know your pet, play with them if they like or pets, loves snuggles... It's really all about what your pet wants/needs from me! I will also have my 17 year old daughter and/or my 12 year old daughter along to help care for your pet(s), if that's OK with you. Between the three of us we can run your whole zoo if you'd like!! We can do walkies for pets that need a little extra excersize. Shopping trips to pet-friendly local areas/shops/parks if wanted/permissible!

About: I have worked with pups and kittys since I was little, I have done puppy training all the way to taking care of senior pets. I have had much practice over the years with all of my own furry family members and now to having a few solid clients I service on a regular basis before even joining Rover. So I love taking care of folks furry family members including my own Doberman and my sisters cat while she's gone away at college. However I work for the government Tuesday - Saturday 10:30 a.m.-7p.m. so I can be there during the mornings and I can take care of them as soon as I get off work in the evenings for feedings, potty breaks, walks, etc. Unfortunately, I more than likely will not be able to do midday potty breaks so if you're someone who works from home and let's them out frequently it probably will not work out. But if they're used to being in during the day already from work schedules then it should be a perfect fit! I take care of my Doberman pup through trainings with positive reinforcement via toys and treats. I feed him every morning and evening, taking him on walks out in the woods and letting him run wild in our big back yard.

About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. I have a kitty cat so I wouldn’t be able to fully board but I’m able to take your doggo on walks, to the park, to a patio, etc etc. I can watch the dog at my house in the backyard but wouldn’t be able to take them inside the home.

About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was a little girl. I’ve grown up around so many animals including my sweet horse Ace! My favorite is how every animal has their own personality, & the way they love us unconditionally without ever saying a word. I am a full time teacher during the school year, and work part time during the summer which gives me a lot more availability to fit with your schedule! I treat every animal like family and they will be in the best hands. I love meeting new furry faces and they will receive the best care!

About: I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs and cats. I grew up with two golden retrievers, and after they passed, my family naturally became the neighborhood pet sitters. I spent so much of my childhood around all kinds of pets that it honestly feels like I grew up right alongside them. When my family got another golden retriever puppy, I was the one who took on most of her training. Working with her taught me patience, consistency, and how to build real trust with a young dog. I’m comfortable with basic commands, routines, and helping puppies build good habits. Being around animals genuinely lifts my mood. I’m definitely that person who stops in the street to ask if I can pet someone’s dog. I also care for two cats regularly—one at my workplace and one that belongs to my roommate—so I’m very used to daily cat routines, feeding, cleaning, and giving them attention on their terms. Caring for animals just feels like second nature to me. I always make sure pets get the attention, affection, and exercise they need, and I really do treat every animal like they’re my own. I especially love being able to give dogs company during the day when they’d otherwise be alone. It means a lot to me to be that comforting, familiar person they look forward to seeing. I’m excited to meet new families and make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved every time they’re with me. I’m looking to get out of my desk job and start dog walking full time. I love being outside and i am a total dog lover. I need the customers, so please let me be your dog’s new best friend! I am a very respectful person all around. I’ll easily respect your things and space. I will be tidy and leave how I came! I’m hoping when we meet in person, you can tell the kind of person I am. I’m quite an open book. Just a fun, bubbly, outdoorsy and dog lovin girl!

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all breeds and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, giving medications if needed, and sticking to any instructions that help keep your dog happy and stress-free. I understand how important routine and attention are, and I treat every dog like they’re my own! I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to make sure your dog gets plenty of care, exercise, affection, and companionship while you’re gone. I’d love to meet you and your dog(s)! I'm a May 2026 Augie grad who is navigating my first full time job post grad, but with a pretty flexible schedule outside of that! I am free weekends at pretty much any time and Monday thru Friday after 4pm. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and care based on their individual needs and energy levels. For cat sitting, I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm environment so cats can feel comfortable at their own pace while maintaining a clean litter box, offering attention (if wanted), and of course food/treats and water. I always follow owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, leash handling, litter box cleaning, and any special routines or preferences. Safety is very important to me, so I’m attentive during walks, careful with doors and gates, and always mindful of pets’ behavior and surroundings. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and in good hands while they’re away.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Colona

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Colona on Rover is $12 per visit as of September 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $20 per visit. 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 September 2026, there are 145 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Colona. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Colona. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

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.
