About: College student that’s been pet sitting for family many times before. I have my own dog that I’ve had since I was 7. Absolutely love all dogs. I currently work for a family owned business so I have plenty of time to walk or drop in to take care of any pets! I have a fenced in yard and a sweet little dog to accompany any other dogs. I spend a lot of time with the dog, just giving her lots of love and attention. Making sure all her needs are met.

Hannah was great from the start — she asked great questions, was great with our dog, and kept us updated throughout the day with multiple drop-in visits — we'll definitely be looking to Hannah for any future needs and we highly recommend her.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old, I thrive off meeting new people and animals. I love the outdoors and sometimes a good challenge. I've had dogs from puppies to seniors under my care. With a large career background in childcare as well, I have a lot of patience and love to give. I am currently free for the summer, so I will have a wide availability for your pups and animals. I am willing to work weekdays and weekends. I don't have a preference for am or pm. Just excited to get started. When in a client's home, I create and maintain a safe environment for all pets by establishing trust early on, sitting on the floor and letting the animal come to me. Then the fun starts, alongside with safety always. I provide lots of love and cuddles and encouragement (and treats in accordance with the pet parents of course). After all the requested tasks are done, and the walk is complete, I love to cuddle with them and foster that trust some more. No matter which service you prefer, my priority is always to meet the animal where they are, and build the relationship up from there.

About: I have experience with taking care of my own fur baby for 7 years. Besides her I have also taken in family pets whilst they went to vacation, as well as drop ins and checking their pets for the duration of two weeks. I was capable of teaching the pets under my care tricks and was always on top of everything being responsible, and making sure the fur babies got the attention they needed. I am also comfortable looking after feline (cat) pets as I have taken care of them with my boyfriends family during drop ins, and also freshwater aquarium pets as I have hosted them in my home for my cousins taking care of up to 6 in a tank. I am in college so I only attend school three days out of the week leaving all day of monday and friday, adding on I have a late class wednesday so I am available early on Wednesdays! I am also free on the weekends. So, I am able to check in with pets during my free time, and make sure to care for the fur babies. I can do afternoons for monday, friday, and the weekend and day time for wednesday! In my home I have one pet, my girl dog pearl who receives all the love she can get and is treated as a family member :) In my home I have a fenced yard, I have treats to provide, toys, and more. I also have a play penn in which pets can have space and play freely if wished to be crated. I will make sure to always give attention to the pets just as if they were my own babies.

About: My name is Erica and I am an enthusiastic and dedicated caretaker for your pets and plants! I have been a babysitter since I was 14 years old, and have extended my services to petsitting in the last year. I have experience in taking care of small to medium sized dogs, young and old, for family and friends as needed in the past and want to extend my dog sitting care to my community. I am happy to housesit as well as walk, feed, and care for your pets, and most importantly, foster a safe and happy environment for them. I can't wait to meet your beloved companions and befriend them too. I am available for evening petsitting or walks after 5pm on weekdays, and all day on Saturday and Sunday, overnights on weekends only. I can accommodate for your schedule if needed. I have reliable transportation to your home and will be respectful of your living space and your pet's routine. I am happy to give your dog a walk, take them out for breaks, feed, and/or entertain them as needed.

About: I’ve had cats since childhood and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important patience, attention, and care are for pets. Even though I don’t own a dog, I’m very comfortable around them and enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m responsible, gentle, and truly love animals, and I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already care for my own cat every day. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I understand how important trust and safety are when caring for someone’s pet. I always try to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and needs, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect as if they were my own pet.

About: I have been a dog lover for all my life and realize they require lots of love and attention each day. I will treat your dog as if he/she were my own so you never have to worry while you're away. If your dog is more energetic and prefers running instead of walks, then I will certainly do that. Or, if your dog needs to go at a slower pace, I can do that too. I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs and can administer pills and/or oral supplements. My availability is very flexible and I will try to make time even if it is short notice. I am very responsible so you can definitely count on me to keep your furry friend happy and safe when you're unable to be there with them. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to send a message or give me a call. Thank you!

About: I will provide the best care possible for your dog. I grew up with so many pets so I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for another person's. As I have a dog of my own, I would treat the job as I would take care of my own, whether that's taking your dogs for a nice walk around the neighborhood or snuggling up on the couch and keeping them company and cared for while you're away, I'm the girl for it! My schedule is very flexible, so I am readily available to dog walk or to house sit if needed. I'll do my best to ensure you are happy and satisfied with who is taking care of your dog and you won't be disappointed! I work full-time, however in the summer I am extremely flexible and can be available whenever I am needed. Let me know if you would like someone to care for your pet and we can work out a schedule that works best! I make sure to give my pets lots of attention and love the same as I would do for your pets as well as follow the instructions I’d be given.

McKenna took care of our two cats while we were out of the country on vacation. She came over before our departure for a meet-and-greet and was very friendly. She took great care of the cats while we were away and kept us updated with pics and messages. We highly recommend McKenna if you need assistance with your pets.

Jessica did an amazing job accomplishing each of the tasks we left for her, caring for our three cats. She was highly professional when we first met her and she went above and beyond what we expected while we went on our weekend cruise. Having someone who takes the time to not only complete each of our necessary tasks for her during each session but also having someone take the time to show the cats attention while we are away was very heartwarming!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Colonia on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 11,609 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Colonia. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
