Tia did a wonderful job taking care of our kitties while we were out of town! She kept us up to date with pictures and notes. We'd be happy to use her again in the future!

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 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.

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!

I would just like to say that Erica did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs while we were away for a weekend trip out of town. I was very impressed at how thorough and punctual Erica was for the drop in visits that she provided. The care notes, and pictures documenting each visit were very reassuring. I feel that Erica cared for our dogs as if they were her own. I will not hesitate to contact her again whenever we need someone to care for our dogs.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for 24 years I used to live on a farm and still to this day I watch animals any kind I love working with them and every time I see an animal on the street I always help them Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for feeding, walking, play, and check-ins, while keeping a consistent schedule so pets feel safe and comfortable. On a weekly basis, I also handle tasks like grooming, cleaning up after pets, and giving them extra attention to make sure they’re happy and healthy.” In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and follow their normal routines. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to keep pets on their usual schedule. This can include feeding, walking, litter box cleaning, administering medication if needed, and giving plenty of love and companionship so pets feel secure even while their owners are away.”

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.

About: I’m a pre-vet college student trying to get as much animal care hours as possible. I have experience working in clinics as well as local shelters. I can work with all animals big and small. Sweet and feisty. I’ve babysat both dogs and cats and have experience with giving meds. My time volunteering at shelters has given me the skills and patience to work with all types of animals. I’m currently a student but have plenty of time to squeeze in some cuddles and walks whenever I can. In free most of the time on weekends and don’t mind waking up early. I have lots of experience working with animals at my local shelter Naperville Area Humane Society and dog sitting and cat sitting for multiple family friends for the past years. I’m quick to respond on my availability and whether I can squeeze you in.

I have a job that is on-call, so I find myself asking for a pet sitter somewhat last minute sometimes. Emily is great for those calls and also for when I know a need a sitter in advance! Emily clearly has a passion for dogs; my dog loves her! She goes the extra mile to make sure she knows exactly what my dog needs and wants and to make sure my dog is a happy and healthy pooch when I can't be home! Thanks, Emily! I will be a repeat customer.

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: 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!

I have booked Danyelle multiple times now. She is great at taking care of my furbabies when I have to be away, and also in communicating with me for any questions or needs. I appreciate her thoroughness and care, especially with my nearly 20 year old senior cat! Thank you so much again, Danyelle! ✨️

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Colona

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Colona on Rover is $15.54 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 289 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Colona. 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 Colona 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 Colona. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
