“Amanda was great with our three Husky’s. They are all blowing their coats and she did a great job keeping up with the flying fur. Our dogs were so calm and relaxed when we got home, she did a great job of keeping me updated and I didn’t have to worry about whether or not they were well cared for during our vacation!”
About: I have a great experience in senior dog care which may include more guidance, patience and frequent potty breaks. I also just had two puppies of my own who are 6 months old and have experience in handling them. I work a close by day job and have the flexibility to do 3-4 drop ins daily, and multiple visits if needed. I have the flexibility to stay overnight as well. Frequent potty breaks/walks are so important and also providing play is just as important. I would care for your pet like my own in regards to playing,walking,cuddling, meal time, and more.
“Matt was great watching our dog Phoebe. We got lots of updates and photos of them playing. Phoebe was worn out from playing so much and so happy! Definitely using Matt again.”

“Paige is extremely reliable and she consistently offers excellent care to our beloved pets... Our pets love to be around her and because of this, we can be away from home without worrying about them for a few days... Thankful to have met her through this service...”
“Ronnie was fantastic! I was a bit nervous about leaving my dog for the first time, as she’s a chow and doesn’t do well with strangers in the home. She gets nervous and protective. Ronnie handled it like a pro! They stayed calm, gave my dog what she needed, made her feel comfortable/followed her lead, provided me with daily updates, and looked over the house too. I would absolutely recommend trusting Ronnie with your pets and I plan to work with them again in the future. Thank you Ronnie!!!!”
About: I grew up with dogs, so i have taken care of them my whole life. I have also helped out friends and family members with dog sitting. I am currently working part time, so i have plenty of free time during my day to take care of your animals. I can stop by frequently or house sit as well. I have two dogs and i take care of them by feeding them, letting them out, making sure they have water, walking them, etc. i am very good with animals, and enjoy spending time with them.
About: I have had animals my whole life and I have love for all kinds of fur babies. I can’t wait to meet yours and shower them with love and attention! I just graduated college and am applying for corporate jobs at the moment, but so far am primarily pet sitting so my schedule is very open. I do not care for pets in my home as it is a shared space with roommates and pets. Thank you for your time and understanding.
About: I am an active pet lover who will go out of my way to provide exceptional care for your pets and make sure they’re getting my full attention. Pets have always been a big part of my life and I’m looking forward to showing you how much your pet can mean to me. I am available on weekends or week days, whenever you need an extra hand!

“My rescue dog Jack loves Marcy. Everything was taken care of while I was gone. She kept in touch with me and gave me a video od Jack that made me smile. I will definitely call on her again.”
About: I have owned dogs and cats since 1985 and was on a K9 Search and Rescue team for 18+ years so I have worked with all types of dogs and have a lot of experience with training. I currently work outside the home M-F 9-5 but can work from home upon request. Weekends I am home the majority of the time and spend most of my time hanging out with my own dogs (two labs) I have hosted a variety of dogs in my home including corgis, labs, goldens, frenchies, pitties, mals, and other assorted breeds. I treat everyone's pets just like my own - lots of treats, snuggles, couch naps, and of course sleeping on the bed if they want. Both of my labs are extremely friendly and love pretty much all dogs, but I do have experience sitting some dogs who preferred to be separate from my boys via either baby gates or kennels (depending on what the dog is comfortable with). I have a large fenced in backyard and a smaller fenced in front yard. The backyard has a doggie door that allows the dogs to go in and out at will, although when I am not home, I do not give any dogs access to the yard (even my own dogs as a safety issue).
About: I am a Division 1 soccer player that manages time very well. With that, I am very active and responsible. I grew up with dogs my whole life and had to end up taking care of 2 of my senior dogs. They were a lot to take care of but, that didn’t matter to me as long as they were feeling loved. We have adopted 2 puppies within the past 3 years, so I do understand the commitment it takes to keep them in order. I have taught my puppies tricks, like sit, shake, spin and lay down! I do work part-time in the restaurant business so my shifts only last 4-5 hours max. I am very active, so I get my puppies walked usually 2-3 times a day. Whenever I am pet sitting, I make the pet my priority. I usually plan my schedule on what I have to do around the pet I am sitting. I provide safe, loving care tailored to each pet’s routine. In clients’ homes, I keep their routine consistent with feeding, walks/litter care, and lots of attention, plus regular updates for peace of mind.
“Jeannine was the absolute best. My dogs were comfortable with her immediately and she treated them as her own. I felt at ease leaving them with her since they are my babies basically. Definitely recommend and will be booking with her again. & she took care of them while in the process of hectic wedding planning! Congratulations again!”
“Valerie is the sweetest! She is so knowledgeable about animals and their needs. She bonded with our puppy Charlie instantly. She came to the house and watched Charlie for 5 hours and was so attentive to her. They went for a walk, played ball and snuggled on the couch together. I highly recommend Valerie as a Fur Nanny! She’s the best!!”
“Bailey was fantastic. House was just as it was left and I’m very happy I used Rover to find her. I was much happier leaving him with her than putting in a dare care type place. Bailey was very kind and I could tell she cares for pets well.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since I was young. I had my own animals, mostly dogs and cats, then at 13 I started working at a petting zoo, moved onto dog walking, at 17-19 then a doggy daycare around 20. I now currently work with dogs for grooming. I have experience both owning and sitting, Rabbits, Ferrets, Reptiles, Birds, Cats and Dogs. I am presently unemployed due to losing my previous job because my car broke down and I wasn't able to get a new one. I was a dog bather and was trained in bathing, nail clippings, and face and sanitary trims. My availability is pretty much any time needed so long as when I get another job I can have the time off I need to take care of your baby but I will always communicate with you before the appointment is even booked. I'm very excited to be back with Rover as I am finally in the position where I can take clients again. Pet Sitting: i normally feed my cats around 10AM and 10PM. If you have other times, please let me know, I’d like to maintain as much of a schedule as you have for your baby. I’m experienced in giving oral medication, and some special needs care if need be. If they need a bath, nails clipped, or even a little trim up, I can also do so as I have some experience from working in a grooming shop.
About: i have taken care of animals all my life from dogs, cats, lizards, and birds i will make your animal feel loved just like if it was my own pet im currently working part time at a dog grooming place so im not busy so i have time to walk and take care of your animals when needed. i have a huge yard for my six dogs where we go out when it’s nice out to play ball and run to get some energy out of them and we have a separate room for their crates so when we leave we put them in crates so they don’t get into anything
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years! I even completely trained my old puppy to do all different kind of tricks, potty training, and behavioral tactics. I believe I am a very reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. I do work full time but can make plenty of time for any of your animals needs. My hours do vary but if we have compatible schedules, count me in. Whatever is asked of me, trust and believe it will be taken care of. Your fur baby needs taken out for a walk, done. Litter needs changed, done. Food and water needs refilled, done. I am a very reliable and dependable individual.
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I am comfortable with feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic care, and giving pets plenty of attention and playtime. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and sizes. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a parent of three active boys, I am organized, dependable, and used to caring for others. I have flexibility throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I will follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I respect your home, keep it secure, and will send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in their familiar environment.

FAQs for House Sitting - Columbiana
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Columbiana on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 288 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Columbiana. 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 Columbiana 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 Columbiana 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 Columbiana 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 with handling special pet needs in Columbiana. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
