“Laine was amazing, she made sure my shy cat felt not only at ease but happy. My cat is usually shy but he is completely in love with her to the point that after I came back he kept looking for her!! She is the best pet sitter I've had far best, definitely will ask her to pet sit again in a second.”
“This went great. He came over and learned the house as well as my cat beforehand. She liked him immediately. And I noticed that he automatically uses distraction when n an animal does something wrong. (I used to be a certified dog trainer and do consults and the behavior hotline for an SPCA.) He sent pictures during. Best of all, she wasn't frantic when we got home like when we have just a visit each day. Then in the evening she went yowling around the guest room looking for him! Other things, the house was at least as clean when we got home as when we left. And he left us banana bread!”
“Debbie is the best! Our fur babies love her and I love the updates and reliability. She’s been absolutely fantastic for when we’re gone for a week. My cocker is very skittish and Debbie is one of the only people outside family she will trust to be in the same room. Given the choice, I will book Debbie any time we’re away.”
About: I have taken care of small, medium, and large dogs! I have also taken care of cats! I have had animals in my home for as long as I can remember. I love being playful with them and try to always keep them feeling loved and entertained! I’m very active and love walks. I’m currently working part-time and am available Mondays after 4pm, Tuesdays and Wednesdays after 5pm, Thursdays after 3:30, all day Friday, and some weekends depending on travel! My schedule also depends on traveling due to family being out of town! I let them out as frequently as I can and I do love taking the time to play with them! They deserve to burn off their energy! When I come to your home I will leave it better than I found and make sure to follow the routine that you request to the best of my abilities! I want to make you and your pet feel safest and most comfortable during the service!
“Love was absolutely incredible! This was my first time ever using Rover or trusting someone with my dog, and she made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She sent daily photo updates that gave me so much peace of mind and showed just how happy and well cared for my dog was. On top of that, I came home to a house that was somehow even cleaner than when I left it—such a thoughtful and above-and-beyond touch. You can truly tell she cares, not just about the pets, but about her clients too. I would 1000% trust Love again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely amazing sitter!”
“My dog and cat were so calm when I returned from a week's vacation, and that is due to Kelli's good care! My pets love their routine and lots of attention, and Kelli provided what they needed! She left my home in tip-top shape, too! I will definitely ask here here again!”
“Emily is fantastic. She took such great care of our pup, Jenny. I really feel like she treated her in such a kind and special way. She took her for walks, sent us pics and communicated really well. I never had a single issue with Emily. I plan to hire her again. I would definitely trust Emily with any animal you have.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for 5 years, and it honestly never feels like “work” — it feels like hanging out with the cutest little personalities on the planet. I’ve looked after energetic pups, shy rescues, seniors who need a slower pace, and everything in between. I understand pet body language, I adapt to their vibe, and I know how to make them feel safe, happy, and understood. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them company when they’re missing their humans, I match my energy to what your pet needs. My goal is always the same: keep your pet comfortable, calm, and cared for. Because I’m currently job hunting, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pet. That means more availability for drop-ins, flexible scheduling, and longer, more relaxed walks or hangouts if your pet needs extra attention. Your pet will never feel rushed — they get my full time, full presence, and full patience. Your pet’s safety is my biggest priority. I take a very intentional, calm approach to care so your pet always feels secure and protected. I pay attention to the details — locked gates, secure leashes, clean water, correct feeding times, and any specific instructions you share. Trust matters, and I work to earn it with both you and your pet.
About: I’ve been a pet owner my entire life. My sweet Charlie crossed the rainbow bridge in 2025, but when he was here he loved being a pal to all doggos and kiggies. Honoring his memory, I will care for your sweet critter with the same love and attention I have always shown to all creatures. I have one cat, who is aloof, but peaceful. Fenced yard, kiddie pool in the summer, and I am totally okay if your baby needs to dig a hole in the yard. This is a safe space for critters to be their authentic selves. I’m work during the week, so I am only available Friday after 5pm through Sunday at 9pm. I don’t go out on the weekends, so I’m totally dialed in to seeing to your pet’s needs for pottying, walkies, snuggles, and anything else that helps them cope with having their human be absent for brief times. I have a large fenced yard. The grass is soft, but I’m okay with them getting a lil diggy time in if needed. The neighborhood is safe and there is a beautiful park nearby for walkies. I also have a pet stroller if your furry fren needs the accommodation.
“Julie did so good with our three fur babies! We had a bad Rover experience in the past and we were hesitant to try again but she made all our worries go away. She sent updates with the cutest pictures and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: I've had a dog pretty much my whole life!! My family bred and raised dachshunds for a huge portion of my life. I was tasked with training them and giving them love. I love all dogs big and small. I love to play with them and teach them new things and just love them. I also love training them. I like to see the progress they make. I’m a stay at home mom and we all love pets! We take daily walks/bike rides and spend lots of time at the park! We live right by a dog park. I’ve got a fenced in back yard and plenty of people in my home to love the pets. I would walk and play with pets at my house and at a clients home.
“Ozzie took an immediate liking to Kimber and her easy going personality. During the meet & greet, she got down on his level, making the introduction that much easier. Oz is a nervous guy but he seemed immediately at ease with Kimber. She updated me regularly which I appreciated! I’ll definitely be using her again!”
About: I was raised on a farm my whole life taking care of animals! I have a huge heart for any animal and always enjoy getting to know their different personalities. I have experience with diabetic and senior dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay at home mom. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily incorporate their feeding schedules, exercise, and individual needs into my day. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re in my care. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and any special routines that help their pet feel comfortable. I make sure pets receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and supervision while keeping their environment clean and safe. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

The average cost of House Sitting in Colwich is $28 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $30 per night.

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 Colwich 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 Colwich 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 Colwich 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
