“Callie was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Ace! ❤️ We couldn’t have asked for a more caring, thoughtful, and trustworthy person to look after him. It was clear that Callie genuinely cared about Ace’s happiness, comfort, and well-being, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She treated him with so much love and attention, and we are incredibly grateful for the care she provided. Finding someone you can truly trust with your beloved pet means everything, and Callie exceeded our expectations. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family. Thank you, Callie, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet Ace! 🐾💕”

“Jacob was AMAZING with our four...challenging pets (two cats, two dogs). His communication with us was clear and consistent throughout our entire trip, he followed all of our instructions exactly as we asked, and our animals (and house!) were all well taken care of. I can't recommend Jacob enough!”

“Jianee was absolutely amazing with our four dogs! It’s not easy taking care of four dogs at once, but Jianee handled everything with so much patience, care, and genuine love for each of them. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. She was responsible, attentive, dependable, and treated our dogs like they were her own. It gave us such peace of mind while we were away knowing that they were getting plenty of love and attention. We came home to four happy, well-cared-for dogs, and that says everything! Jianee went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend her and will absolutely have her watch our dogs again!”

About: I have loved and been drawn to animals my entire life. I am currently a full time veterinary assistant. Outside of work I enjoy staying busy with cat and dog sitting/walking. I know animal behavior well and their care and wellbeing is something I dedicate myself to. I am currently employed full time as a veterinary assistant. However, I am available most weekends and Mondays as well as during weekday evenings. I aim to be as flexible as possible with my clients needs and schedules. I am not available to care for pets within my own home but have been a pet sitter in several homes. I am always respectful of my clients space and safe and your pets wellbeing is my highest priority.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog walker and pet sitter with a year of experience providing loving care for dogs. Most of my experience comes from caring for the pets of friends and family, where I’ve built a reputation for being attentive, dependable, and treating every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I make communication a priority. You can count on me to provide regular updates, respond promptly to messages, and follow your pet’s routine and care instructions closely. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and companionship, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. My current availability allows me to provide up to three walks per day on weekends, as well as on Mondays and Fridays. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! When I used to sit I would take the dog on a walk before work and one in the evening. I know some dogs need three but I’d only be able to do so on the weekend and Friday and Monday I’d prefer to pet sit in the pup’s home versus mine. I find it makes them less nervous or antsy especially with a new face but would welcome doing it if needed.

About: I've taken care of dogs most of my life growing up, I've had a few years of experience with cats both at home and taking care of roommates' pets. I've participated in dog training classes growing up, so I have good knowledge from that. I'm currently working part-time, so I generally have 3 to 4 days a week open, and live right on the trolley line in West Philadelphia, so I have decent range. I like to make sure I know what all the animal is eating, and try to stray from that as little as possible. As far as boarding goes, I have a small studio apartment, so I have very limited options there.

“Sebastian continues to go above and beyond for our 7 pets and the care of our home! I received plenty of pictures that show how well he cares for our pets and spends quality time with them all. He clearly communicates everything that goes on with our pets, from the cuteness to the cat puke. I really appreciate the multiple updates and I can truly relax while I’m away from home! He even goes out of his way on the little things like grabbing the mail, checking on our vehicles, vacuuming, AND refilling our dog’s daily pill container!!! I know our pets look forward to seeing him again.”

Angela was wonderful! She took such great care of Darby while we were vacationing, making sure she was well-fed, comfortable, and loved. She even tended to a few skin bumps Darby had and handled an unexpected toilet overflow like a pro! Throughout our trip, Angela gave us complete peace of mind knowing that Darby and our home were in good hands. She went above and beyond, and we would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!

Elizabeth was great! I have two German Shepherds, and one of them is more high-maintenance and requires medication and a consistent routine. In the past, I’ve had a hard time finding sitters who truly understand the importance of sticking to their schedule and making sure everything is done correctly. Elizabeth was responsible, communicative, and very attentive to their needs. I felt confident knowing they were in good hands, and she kept me updated throughout their stay. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth and would happily have her care for my dogs again!

She took a last minute booking with us! And was very flexible when it came to certain accommodations. She went the extra mile with making sure when she was present with my animals that she made that time count. For example giving them treats and allowing them to be fed out of their puzzle boards.

What a pleasure it was to meet Amanda and have her stay in our “home”. We are traveling and Amanda came to the campground (with just two days notice!) and watched our three pups. She walked them, cared for them, and shared updates with us. She gave us suggestions on what to see in Philadelphia. We were impressed with her kindness. We highly recommend Amanda for your pets!

FAQs for House Sitting - Colwyn

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 5,491 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Colwyn. 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 Colwyn 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 Colwyn 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 Colwyn 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Colwyn. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
