“Kairi genuinely loves taking care of the fur babies. She was wonderful over the 4th of July, helping to calm my dogs who are terrified of fireworks. She communicated so well and sent pictures while I was away. I will definitely be asking her to come back, and can highly recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have always loved caring for animals. Growing up, I regularly helped family friends care for their dogs, and in recent years I’ve started pet sitting more regularly for friends, family, and people in my personal life. My partner is also a Rover sitter, so I’ve had lots of hands on experience helping with his clients and caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. I have about 3 years of recent pet sitting experience and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual. I work a standard Monday–Friday, 9–5 schedule, but my job is flexible and allows me to leave when needed to check on pets. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends, and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m also completely comfortable with overnight house sitting and can work around your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. My priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. Since I have pets of my own and live in an apartment, I don’t offer boarding in my home, but I’m happy to care for pets in their home where they’re most comfortable. I’m comfortable following individual routines and providing extra care when needed, and I’m happy to communicate closely with pet parents so I know exactly what their pets need.

Our dogs seemed happy when we arrived home unlike other times we have left them. We will definitely have her back to stay with the dogs!”

About: When me and your dog get together, and I’ll drop off your dog. Your dog will tell you how much they enjoyed the excitement and plans, but we did the amount of walks we do in the amount of time to play play fetch go to the dog park go on a run, the amount of snacks that we eat it’s like a dream come true just in dog form. I love my dog and being outside so I will love your dog just as much maybe more! Every day of the week Sunday through Sunday whenever I can play with your dog or changes going on a walk is the perfect time for me. I care for the dog like it’s my dog. Anytime of the daylight and sun is up is when we will be outside and enjoying the sunshine and breeze

About: My family has had a dog since I was in high school and I have been around dogs ever since. I am here to help. I work full time and I am home every night so will have plenty of time to go for a walk or play with your pets. I have a good size fenced in yard to let the pets go play and have fun with toys or I like going for hikes and can take them with!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs big and small, for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. I work well with routine. Most animals love me from the moment we meet, willing to stay with the animals all day. Currently working part time so can stay with animals for long periods of time. Can work most days of the week. Not in school and my other job is for whenever I can. Unfortunately I cannot have other animals at the apartment complex I live in so I wouldn’t be available to watch them here. Also I only have unsociable cats at home so I wouldn’t be able to bring them over for play dates either.

“Joslin is amazing! Our corgi, Porter, is adorable but can be a little sassy at times. Joslin handled him perfectly, and he trusted her so much that he started sleeping in the same room as her. She kept us updated constantly and sent us pictures of our little fellow so we felt relaxed and could enjoy our vacation. She left the house in a beautiful condition, so when we arrived back home we could just spend time with our boy. Thank you Joslin for making the experience so easy and enjoyable!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I grew up, always having at least two dogs in the house, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’ve also dog sat on many occasions for family members and friends, whether it was for a day or a whole weekend. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and of course, plenty of attention and cuddles! I understand the importance of needing someone you trust to care for your pets and you can trust me to treat your dogs like they’re my own :) I typically work three 12-hour shifts in a row which leaves me with several days off to spend with your pets during the week! This provides me with plenty of time to make sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need rather than being left alone for long periods. You can trust that your dog can feel safe and comfortable at my home in my care. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can safely get outside for potty breaks and playtime, along with access to nearby parks and walking trails for plenty of exercise and exploring. I also have toys and treats available to make their stay extra fun. When caring for pets in my own home, I’m happy to follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedule, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I know pets are often most comfortable in their usual routine/home, so I’ll make sure they get lots of attention and care while they’re away and of course I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have lived in households with pets my entire life as well as taken care of countless peoples animals while they have been busy or out of town. I go to the dog park just about every day and am well versed in how animals interact with each other and how to make them as comfortable as possible. I am a full-time law student and I would love to take care of some furballs to ease some of both of our stress! I have classes from 1 pm-5:30 pm Monday through Thursday, but otherwise I am available! I care for all pets with love and respect. It’s incredibly important for the animals I watch to trust me and I work to ensure that at all times. I think all pets deserve to have someone with the patience to understand them and prioritize their well-being and safety.

“There are not enough words to describe how amazing our experience with Kim was. She stayed with our pups for 3 weeks!! They were so well taken care of, and Kim also went above and beyond to accommodate a service visit from a repair man, as well as running to the post office to retrieve a much needed prescription refill for one of our dogs. She is more capable and responsible than any dog sitter we have ever had!”

“Candice did an awesome job watching Trixie for us for 9 days. She took her on walks, played fetch with her and took her to the creek. She sent daily pictures and text updates. We had no issues or problems with Candice taking care of our dog. We are extremely pleased with her and the job she did dog sitting. We would highly recommend her and will use again if she is avaliable.”

Eliana took great care of our pup when we were gone. She was very communicative and updated us about Porter in a timely and professional manner. She was very quick to respond to any questions or updates we needed to share while we were away. The house was beautiful when we returned, showing what a considerate guest and caretaker she is. Highly recommend Eliana to watch your fur babies.

FAQs for House Sitting - Colonial Pine Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Colonial Pine Hills on Rover is $40.49 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of September 2026, there are 70 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Colonial Pine Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Colonial Pine Hills walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Colonial Pine Hills maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Colonial Pine Hills choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
