“Nicole was very responsive and able to come meet me and our dog on a very short notice. She was great with our dog right away and we felt comfortable having her come over to spend time with our dog. She was amazing and very communicative throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her and we look forward to having her watch our dog again!”

I treat every pet like my own and always strive to make them feel comfortable and loved.

About: I've always had a deep love for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I provide patient, dependable care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether it's energetic puppies, playful adult dogs, gentle senior pets, or cats who prefer a calm approach, I tailor my care to each animal.

About: Hi! I’m Robert. I’ve had animals all my life (dogs, cats, fish, lizards, hermit crabs, raised praying mantids and butterflies). I trap and spay/neuter feral cats (TNR), feed birds, planted a pollinator garden in my yard…love nature and appreciate the relationship between humans and animals. My small dog Tyson was 17 years old and had some special needs (anxiety, hip-problems, blind in one eye, and I am his 3rd owner), so I know patience and compassion when it comes to senior dogs. Two of my cats I’ve had since they were kittens, and the third cat was abandoned by a neighbor and chose me as her new human when they left her. Happy to accommodate your companion’s special needs, and will be honest with you if there is something I don’t feel confident about. I also use water fountain bowls, so your friend will have access to clean, moving water. I am a bar tender and have been doing that work since 2006, 12 years at my current bar. I work part time there and have a good amount of free-time which I can use to take care of of your dog. I have a large fenced in yard (176 ft of 6ft tall wooden fence) with plenty of shade, water bowls, central air and heating. Pets are free to lounge anywhere in my house, but I do prefer dogs to be crated if I am away for their own safety, and peace of mind for me :) Please let me know if you have any rules you have for your pets at home, feeding schedule, potty-break schedule, etc.

About: As a passionate animal lover, my journey into pet care began in childhood, growing up surrounded by cats who were always part of our family. My family and I have been rescuing dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Most of our pets were adopted by my parents, grandparents, and extended family, so I was raised in a home full of love, compassion, and furry companions. Additionally, I gained hands on experience caring for different dogs while living with American host families, which taught me how to understand and adapt to various pet personalities and routines. I’m now a proud cat mom of two, trying to give them the best life possible.🧡 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, especially outdoors. My day usually starts early with a walk or run, it's the perfect way for pets to get some fresh air, stretch their legs, and take care of their needs. Throughout the day, I make time for regular potty breaks, walks, and play sessions to keep pets active, stimulated, and happy. In the evenings, I focus on calm, comforting activities like cuddles or quiet time to help them relax and feel secure before bedtime. Since I have full availability, I’m flexible and can easily adapt to each pet’s schedule. I understand how important it is to maintain consistency with feeding, exercise, and attention, and I’m patient, responsible, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I follow all instructions closely to ensure consistency, whether it’s about feeding, walks, medication, or favorite toys and habits. I aim to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel secure and stress-free. I keep their space clean, make sure their surroundings are safe, and provide the attention and affection they need to feel happy and at ease. Whether I’m in my home or yours, your pet’s well being is always my top priority.

Pet 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Columbia Station is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $20 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 2,203 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Columbia Station. 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 Columbia Station. 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.
