“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care Ta-Miko provided for my ailing cat! From the moment we connected, they were professional, friendly, and attentive to all my instructions. They went above and beyond to make sure my Boberkins felt comfortable and safe while I was away. Ta-Miko kept me updated with regular check-ins and adorable pictures, which made me feel completely at ease. It’s clear that they have a genuine love for animals, and I’d trust them with my pets again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Sadie was an amazing sitter! I felt so confident and at ease leaving my senior cat with her when I had to leave on an extended ten day trip. Her communication with me was excellent during that time and she sent so many pictures and videos of my boy. My cat thrives on affection and it was such a great peace of mind to see him cuddling and bonding with her during that time. She did a wonderful job keeping his routine and little likes steady for him while I was gone so that I didn’t have a single worry. A bonus was that she kept me up to date on everything that was happening with my home as well. I am looking forward to booking with Sadie again for my next trip and I know my fur baby will have a great time with her while I’m away! Thank you so much Sadie! :) -Walter, Elle, and Chester”

“Barbara was wonderful! I've never left my cats before but we had to put my uncle to rest in another State. Barbara is the car whisperer, my cats especially Bob took an instant liking to her. She has experience with both dogs and cats. I won't hesitate again to go out of town, I feel completely comfortable with Barbara caring for my 2 cats. Denise Flathers”

“Pirate can be a very picky and stubborn indoor/outdoor cat. I used several cat sitters that were not able to form a bond with him. Amanda DID!!! She took such good care of our kitty while we were on vacation. It was so obvious Pirate loved her!!!! She provided pictures every night to let us know he was safe from the rural nights 😊 I felt totally at ease and was able to fully trust Amanda… and enjoy our vacation. We will definitely book her again. Thank you Amanda!”

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was young. I’ve had 3 German shepherds, and 4 cats. Senior dogs, puppies, all breeds, any weight or size! I would love to make sure your furr baby gets the potty break and the walk they deserve and can promise they are in capable-belly scratching hands! I am currently not working and have all the time in the world to make sure your pup or kitty get the time and attention they need! Potty breaks, walks, check ins, and potential sitting depending on ensuring my pets are also cared for! I have a reactive 115lb, 7yo German Shepherd and a 2yo domestic long hair cat. They are best friends, but they are tight knit! Gunnar enjoy long walks and hikes, and he loves to play ball! Oliver enjoys couch naps and chasing the laser… and his big brother! I am fully confident in caring for others furr babies with the same compassion, attention to detail, and love as my own!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 9 years old, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I grew up with the sweetest Saint Bernard and have had 5 adorable kitties over the years. I like to call myself a professional cat entertainer. In 2023, I finally got my own fur baby who is spoiled rotten and my favorite thing in the world. I pet and house sit regularly for my friends and neighbors with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and even some horses. Sometimes that means staying overnight because one pup has bad separation anxiety, so I’m comfortable giving extra love and attention. Cats might be my favorite to work with but I love all cuties just the same! I’m working full time and right now, I get off work around 2:30pm. I am available for 30 minutes during the work day on my lunch break and during the afternoon/ nights. I have a large back yard and fenced in pool area for dogs with lots of room in the house for laying, playing, or exploring. I currently do not own a dog so any visiting dogs should bring with their favorite toys for extra entertainment. I am not living in a development but have plenty of walking trails in close proximity, including Big Boyd’s Tree Preserve, Front Street, Fort Hunter, and Wildwood Park. There are 3 cats living in the house who have been acclimated to dogs. We have separate rooms for visiting cats to stay with extra litter boxes, scratching posts, an abundance of toys, and a few humans to play with and love on.

About: I've been a pet owner for 30 plus years, to include cats and dogs. I have also done pet sitting many times for families in and around Camp Hill, PA. I am currently a proud momma of three amazing furry friends: a 14 year old cat, a 9 year old catahoula leopard doggies, and a very energetic 2 1/2 year old mini golden doodle. All of these animals are rescues. I am currently working a job that ends at 3:30 each week day, and am very flexible with my availability of time over the weekends. I am up very early each morning to let my two dogs out in our backyard, which is fenced in. I also administer medication to our cat at that time, along with feeding all of my pets. All of our pets have free range of our house, but our youngest dog can be crated at times when necessary. I also love taking both of our dogs for walks every night.

About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I have always been surrounded by cats and dogs and would not have it any other way. Currently in-between jobs so I am pretty flexible. I will be returning to school in the near future, but that will be online, so will not change my schedule too much. I do not have a fenced-in yard and am not looking to watch pets at my house as I already have my own dogs here.

“Jyllian was absolutely amazing as my cat sitter. I was away on an extended trip and was nervous about having to leave my cat for that long. She went above and beyond with updating me and provided very detailed summaries each day along with so many pictures which showed how much love she put into caring for my cat. Not only that, but she is a vet tech so that made me feel even more comfortable in case something went wrong. She truly has the biggest heart for animals and I would very easily recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much, Jyllian!!!!”

Tina has been a lifesaver! I've had to travel a lot lately because of family issues, and Tina has been available to come over with very little notice. Plus I worry about my Bella (probably too much at times) and Tina has gone above and beyond to care for my girl and put up with my worrying. You could tell she truly loves animals. I highly recommend Tina!

Victoria was fantastic in taking care of my kitty over the long weekend. She followed all of our procedures for feeding and checking on our cat. She also stayed long to play with the cat and make sure she was doing okay as my cat was feeling a bit under the weather. Victoria sent numerous photos daily and was very communicative. Would absolutely recommend her and will be rebooking if Victoria is good with that!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Colonial Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Colonial Park is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $40 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 October 2026, there are 749 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Colonial Park. 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 .

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 , 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 .

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 , 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.
