“Very kind person! She did a great job taking care of our cats and letting us know how they were doing. They warmed up to her instantly. Very quick to message back which I really appreciate. Thank you so much!”
About: I have a 5 year old Papillion at home, so I can do all the normal stuff like feeding and giving water, and playing as well as short walks. If you have a super cuddly dog, I’m always willing to lay with them for a long time as well as I have a clingy girl at home. I’m currently taking an online course, so I have plenty of ability throughout the week to check on your pets. I can’t do mornings though as I sleep later than most people. I always try my best to respect other peoples belongings and privacy so I won’t go anywhere or touch anything besides what I’m supposed to.
“Stephanie was wonderful when it came to taking care of our 2 cats when we were away - she was kind and detail oriented. We'll definitely rebook Stephanie in the future.”
About: I’ve owned and/or taken care of cats longer than I can remember. While I’ve never owned a dog myself, I’ve watched my friends and neighbors dogs often. Sometimes people bring their dogs into the office, and everyone knows that’s where you’ll find me. I can match the energy of your pets whether that’s doing loops around my yard, or giving half an hour of ear scratches while they snooze. Please tell me all about your pet, I’d love to know them personally! I work full time, week days from 9am-5pm, but am otherwise available! Weekends are flexible, and I’m also very willing to work after I come home from work, usually by 5:15 or so I have a fenced in back yard, and 3 pretty friendly cats at home. They’re extremely non-threatening and more likely to get scared and hide than anything. I am able to crate or separate pets as needed, I do have an extra room so if a separated stay is needed, it’s no issue. I also have a camera I can set up where needed to check in during the day while I am out. I do also have a basement, it’s not officially finished but I’ve turned it into a safe and comfy enough space that I trust my own kitties to have full access to. Any overnight visitors are more than welcome to have that whole space to be separated in, if owner is comfortable with it!
“Mary has been great taking care of my two cats, one of whom needs insulin injections twice a day. She is reliable, trustworthy, and caring. With Mary available, I’m not worried about leaving them when I go on vacation. What more could you ask for!”
About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until late August. I can make myself and my home available as needed. I live in a townhome that features a large, lush, and open neighborhood to walk your dogs in. My home has two floors; the first floor is where your pet will stay. When your pet is in my home, they are treated like members of my family. They will be fed, walked, and enriched on your schedule, and will be allowed to sit on the couch and even sleep in my bed at nights if comfortable. I take great care to ensure that your pet’s stay is comfortable and fun-filled. In my home, I currently have two budgies in a large cage and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away or kept caged when your pets are being boarded. When I am in your home, I cultivate the utmost respect. I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet, and leave everything else exactly how I found it.
About: I’ve had multiple animals growing up, I’ve always been the friend/ family member that was asked to care for pets. I’m very patient and adapt very well to different routines and conditions. I only work three days out of the week so i’m pretty available for your needs! I have a dog of my own and he’s always had time to be walked and fed on time! My dog is a quiet shy guy, he free roams in the house is walked regularly and fed on time, I’ve mostly done check ins at the clients home, never had any issue following their routine with feeding or walking.
“Super pet sitter. Got to meet Jasmin before going away for 2 weeks & having her care for our cat with drop-in visits. She was easy to communicate & coordinate with, very understanding of our cat’s kind of special needs & I felt very comfortable leaving Teddy while we were away. Would recommend & will book again!”
“Awesome experience with Lucas and Katherine! A very nice couple that gave our 6 yo 70lb shepherd mix the attention and special care needed to manage her anxiety, epilepsy and diabetes. They were very warm, welcoming and followed our instructions to the T - putting our first timer worries at ease. We will def book again!”
“Samantha is an top notch Petsitter! She is kind, helpful and detail oriented. If you want peace of mind and quality care, then don't hesitate. Our family will be relying on her for our fur babies. I'm so glad to have found Samantha.”
About: Loving animals comes so naturally to me. I’ve loved all critters for as long as I can remember, from dogs to snakes to birds to hedgehogs, I wanna be friends with them all! I have been working in the veterinary field for 5 years, and have been working as a veterinary assistant for 2. I am currently working towards my AAS in veterinary technology, and expect to graduate this upcoming summer! I have worked with all kinds of animals in the field, and of course take care of my own babies (which include dogs, cats, fish, geckos, frogs, hedgehogs). I am able to administer any medication your pet may need, whether it be as simple as a liquid that goes in their food to a subcutaneous injection! I will do my best to work with you to be sure your furbaby gets the love and care they deserve! I am currently working full time at a veterinary hospital, but I am guaranteed Saturday evenings and all day Sundays free. My hours vary week to week, but I will keep my schedule as up to date as possible. If in doubt, you can always ask, and I can always move things around. I am most available to do drop-in visits if your pet needs a mid-day meal, any medications, or a walk around the block! For the days I have off, I am more than happy to spend time with your furbaby as long as they need! Play time, treats, and love lie ahead! I like to have a full discussion with my clients prior to accepting any bookings. I want to know everything from the brand of food they eat to their regular veterinarian to be sure I am providing the care your baby deserves. I am more than happy to send as many pictures/videos you’d like to give you updates on your pet.
“Cassidy is very responsible and trustworthy! She did a great job looking after our young cat and made sure to keep in touch with us if she had questions or concerns. She gave our cat plenty of attention and play time and went the extra mile to keep things clean and neat! We will definitely use her next time!”
About: I have had dogs throughout my life, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities.I currently have a cat named Rocky (my pride and joy!!), so I also have experience caring for cats and understanding their unique needs and behaviors. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have watched and cared for many dogs and cats for family, friends, and others. I am experienced with feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, providing exercise and companionship, and maintaining consistent routines to help pets feel comfortable and secure. My strengths include excellent communication with pet owners, reliability, patience, and close attention to detail. I am comfortable administering oral medications as directed, following specific care instructions, recognizing changes in a pet's behavior or health, and providing updates to owners for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide safe, compassionate, and dependable care. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the week. On my WFH days, I'm able to spend most of the day with pets. On days I'm in the office, I plan my schedule around my pet commitments to ensure every pet receives the attention and care they need/deserve. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my apartment or in your home, their safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where I can provide a calm, quiet environment with plenty of attention and supervision. I make sure doors and windows remain secure and keep any potentially harmful items out of reach.

“Kim took excellent care of my cat Daisy. She stayed over my home while I was away. She sent me daily pics, text update, and videos. My cat bonded with her immediately. They played together. Usually Daisy hides when I’m gone. I will continue to book Kim when I need a sitter. I highly recommend her!!”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, when I got my first dog. Over the years I've cared for dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets. As a mom, I'm responsible, patient, and used to keeping a busy household on routine. I'm comfortable following each dog's individual routine and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. When your pet stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. I work during the day, but my grandmother is home all day, and my son is home after school and loves animals. Pets will have plenty of company throughout the day while I'm at work, and I'll provide their walks, playtime and attention before and after work. Overnight boarding is welcomed! I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, along with a comfortable home environment. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine and can crate your dog if needed or preferred.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dog for 4 years, so I know how much love, patience, and attention dogs need. I can help with walks, feeding, playtime, and sticking to their routine.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Colonia
5/5 Stars — Absolute Peace of Mind! We hired Stephanie to take care of our dog Louie and cat Oliver while we traveled across the country to Utah for our daughter’s wedding. Leaving your pets behind for a big event can be stressful, but Stephanie gave us total peace of mind. She went above and beyond her duties—sending daily photo updates and regularly staying longer than the three drop-in visits we booked just to give Louie and Oliver extra love and attention. Knowing our pets were in such compassionate, reliable hands allowed us to fully enjoy our daughter’s special week. We are so grateful for Stephanie and cannot recommend her highly enough!
Ellen was wonderful caring for my ten-year-old cat Taffy through drop-in visits while I was away. Taffy is ordinarily fearful of strangers, but took a liking to Ellen immediately. Ellen is also a pleasure to work with and I look forward to using her again in my future times away from home.
I’ve had a great experience with Taylor as my pet sitter! She is reliable and always takes great care of my cats. She sends plenty of updates and pictures, which gives me peace of mind while I’m away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
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.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Colonia is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $34 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.

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.

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.
