About: I have taken care of and raised my families dogs since I could walk! If your dog needs an extra human best friend, look no further! It is the best part of my day! I have a relatively open schedule aside from traveling on occasion. I am very quick at communicating should anything unexpectedly come up. I’m always focused on each pets needs and how I can make them comfortable. I am great with dogs of all sizes and energy levels!
“Julia was fantastic! She was kind, compassionate, and caring towards my kitties and she followed my instructions perfectly (since I have a cat that needs medication). She helped ease my anxiety, gave me updated pictures daily, and was quick to respond if I had any comments or questions. I will absolutely be using her services in the future!”
“Christina has been awesome spending time to get to know my two dogs, even though one of them is people-phobic. I appreciated her suggestions on ways to try to ensure my little dog takes her medications. She is very caring and enjoyable to work with.”
“Sharon did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond to make sure all their needs were met. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. We would definitely use Sharon again.”

“Alicia has been incredible since I’ve gotten my first puppy. She’s helped ease so much of my stress and has gone above and beyond. My pup definitely loves her and misses her when she’s gone.”
“My pups love Devon! I also foster and she’s up for taking care of 3 dogs if I need her to. She is easy to communicate with, reliable, and provides great care for my pups. Highly recommend!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Kelly! She connected with our dog immediately, and it was so reassuring to see how comfortable our pup was with her right away. Kelly is incredibly professional, always on time, and has a calm, relaxed demeanor that puts both pets and owners at ease. Beyond just watching our dog, she went the extra mile by offering helpful, actionable suggestions on how to handle our dog's pulling during walks, and she even recommended some great, durable toys that are perfect for our "super chewer." We are so happy to have found her and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Pierre was amazing! I put in a last minute request for Pierre’s drop in services during the holidays and he quickly responded. He sent multiple pictures per visit with my kittens being feed and litter boxes cleaned daily! He even grabbed my packages and placed them inside for me. Thank you, Pierre!”
“Kenzie was so wonderful! Our dog is very nervous and she was so amazing with him. We also have a cat with medical issues and she was perfect with him as well. She’s the best!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities for years. Friends, family, neighbors, and pet parents have trusted me with everything from daily walks and drop ins to overnight stays and extended care. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding, medication, exercise, and bedtime routines, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pet while you’re away, so communication, updates, photos, and lots of love are always part of the package. I do work but make my own schedule and typically it is extremely flexible! If you have any questions about my availability or schedule, don't hesitate to reach out! I keep pets on their regular schedule, offer plenty of potty breaks, playtime, enrichment activities, and all the snuggles they can handle. I make sure the environment is safe, supervised, and tailored to whatever makes your pet happiest whether that’s fetch, cuddles, or naps on a soft blanket. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well being always come first no matter where they are.
“Jake was awesome !!!! We can't thank him enough for taking care of our 4 fur babies, he was polite, considerate, punctual, quick to respond to my texts. We would highly recommend his services. The idea of leaving our dogs while we were on vacation was stressful, Jake and Rover.com completely relieved us from the worry of the care of our dogs while we were away.”
About: I have had animals/pets my entire life. I treat them like if I had children. I love spending time playing, loving and making sure animals have a happy and full belly. I currently have 2 cats and a 1 year old pitbull. I think it’s important to love an animal just as you would a family member and to make sure they feel loved. I have created a bond with every animal that I have had and also with friends pets as well. I grew up with a corgi and then 2 basset hounds and have always had cats around as well. I love helping and spending time with animals, it has always been a passion of mine and I would love to help your animals get what they need. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. I can be available at odd times of the day if needed while you are not home. I have a friendly dog at home who gets along well with other pets. We go on regular walks and have lots of playtime everyday. We do not have a fenced in yard but we are always outside together on a leash and have a runner for playtime. We go on regular walks at the metro parks.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Columbia Station
This was the first time ever that I didn't have a family member or a friend stop in and take care of my six cats while I was out of town. Jordan T. did such a great job. He came every day after work hours and scooped boxes, refilled water in two locations, filled dry food when needed, gave cat treats and gave wet food to six cats! I received pictures every day and had great communication from him. There was one day he wasn't going to be able to come at the same time as the other days due to a personal appointment. He sent me a message and asked if I wanted him to come earlier or a little later than he was normally coming. I appreciated the ask! My 6 cats were very content when I returned home from my week long vacation. I'll definitely use him again. It was great not having to worry about them while I was gone!

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 September 2026, there are 1,094 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Columbia Station. 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 Columbia Station. On Rover:

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.
