“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!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since as early as I can remember. Honestly I get along with animals better then people! We've always had a dog and more recently cats. My in-laws ask for my help when they take a trip and I am always happy to help! Currently I am caring for my kids during most of the day but I am open on evenings and weekends as needed! I'll try to fit anything in that I can! I'll always greet the animals first and make sure they are comfortable with me. Then I check for water and food. Once I make sure those are good we are off for play time or walk time!

“Kathleen was great! She sent me pictures of my cats. Well only one, I didn’t expect her to crawl under the bed and take a picture of my cat who hides under the bed when people visit. LOL. She was very friendly and I will use her again as a pet sitter next time we go away. Thanks again!”

About: Some people call me the dog whisperer, but I just speak a dogs language. I love dogs, even more than most humans. I’m not afraid to administer medications or take pups to the vet or groomer. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m pretty much available all day long. I own two large dogs and one small dog. And they all live in harmony with my children. Both my sons love animals almost as much as I do! If we had the land, I’d open a rescue and adoption center. Dogs of all sizes enjoy stopping here on their walks because they know I always have treats waiting. We know most of our furry neighbors better than the humans! We must love dogs or are crazy! I’m currently at home, but we do have children, and live an active and busy lifestyle do to their sports. I try to be as flexible as possible. I have a huge fenced in yard and my dogs love having friends over! We do require crates for sleeping or anytime we are not home, so if your dog is not crate trained, this probably isn’t the home for you.

About: Hi, I’m Linda — a lifelong animal lover who has lived with dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve been a dedicated pet owner for over 30 years, sharing my home with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I also hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Wildlife Science, which gives me a deeper understanding of animal behavior, safety, and wellbeing. Whether I’m walking a gentle senior or a high‑energy powerhouse, I bring calm confidence and real expertise to every interaction. I currently own a Senior Great Dane and a puppy Labrador. I don’t just love dogs. I am a proud parent of cats, birds, and fish too! I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on safety — especially with large or powerful breeds. I love learning each dog’s quirks, favorite routes, and what makes them feel secure and happy. My goal is simple: you feel at ease, and your dog feels loved, understood, and excited for their next walk. I’m available for evening walks during the week and flexible availability on weekends. Whether you need a dependable after‑work walker or extra help on Saturdays and Sundays, I’m here to keep your pup happy, exercised, and cared for. Weekday Evenings — ideal for after‑work walks, dinner‑time outings, or late‑day exercise Weekend Availability — open for morning, afternoon, and evening walks. My Experience I have 30+ years as a pet owner with dogs of all personalities. Extensive experience with large breeds including Greyhounds, Great Danes, Mastiffs, Labs, Cane Corso, Pit Bulls, and Dogo Argentinos. I spent many years fostering and adopting rescue dogs so I am patient, gentle, and skilled with shy or uncertain pups. I have a B.S. in Wildlife Science that supports my capacity for safe handling and behavior awareness. What I Offer Reliable walks tailored to your dog’s pace and needs. Confident handling of strong or large dogs Gentle care for seniors, rescues, and sensitive pups. Engaging, enrichment‑focused outings. Photo updates and clear communication every time.

About: I have always been an animal lover. I started off working at a pet store and quickly moved up to animal sheltering where I worked closely with the behavior and medical teams to advance my education and career. I now work at a local animal clinic and am happy to handle and care for many various animals. I work great with cats and dogs, and also am comfortable with small animals and reptiles. I am open to birds and other exotics. I am comfortable with special needs animals as I see them often at work and have a few of my own at all. If your pet needs additional care please let me know so I can confirm if it's something I'm capable of accommodating. I work at my local vet week days, and will be able to fit any pet sitting in before and after work, as well as any weekends. My earliest I work is 7:30am and latest I work is 6:30pm so will happily fit my visits before those times as needed. I can happily walk dogs, clean litter boxes, feed any exotics (small animals, fish, reptiles, etc). I'm comfortable administering some medications as well. If you're not sure, just ask me!

Ta-Miko was fantastic. I received daily updates and pictures which kept me informed. She went above and beyond by cleaning messes only cat owners can relate to. She took time to sit and read to my furry friend. I would highly recommend Ta-Mika as a reliable and responsible pet lover.

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 Pet Sitting - Colonial Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Colonial Park is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $61 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 November 2026, there are 1,473 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Colonial Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Colonial Park. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.

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.
