About: I've worked at dog daycares for 3 years as well as pet grooming! I also plan on studying environmental/animal science soon! Animals are my passion!! Currently working part time as well as studying online! So I have plenty of open space and time to care for your fur baby! I walk each morning and love being outdoors! I have a large yard and plenty of land and a friendly neighborhood to walk your fur baby!! I can easily kennel pets and have experience in spoiling and corrective behavior!
“Kaitlyn is great! She is wonderful with our golden retrievers, sends videos and pictures, and is a great communicator throughout her stay! Love having her stay at our home!”
“Meghan was great! She dog sat for us while we were out of town and our pup loved her. She took her on walks, to the park, and stayed with her at night. We would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of multiple ages and sizes. I follow schedules to a tee, feeding amounts, treat allowance, etc. I even have a friend on call who works in a veterinary office if ever needed. I currently work full-time Monday-Friday from 9:00am-4:00pm. I don’t work weekends unless necessary, but not often. I would let you know ahead of time or not accept on those weekends. I usually spend my free time doing school. I will follow your schedule to exactly how you wish it be done. Including the usual wake-up and bedtimes that they’re adjusted to, so that they’re not getting off of their usual schedule with you.
“Terrie was so amazing with our pet. She gave me regular updates with pictures and videos. I could tell that my pet was very happy and comfortable with Terrie. I will 100% use Terrie again because I know my home and pet were treated with such care.”
“ABSOLUTELY FIVE STARS!!! Will be using her everytime!!! She kept our dogs at our air bnb for the day so we didn’t have to worry about them needing to go to the bathroom or getting anxious in a new setting. Sally absolutely rocked it with our great dane and pitbull Mix! Out great dane weighs 163lbs and our pitty weighs 55lb so she could definitely handle her own!!!”
“Michelle was amazing!! We just moved to the area and were nervous to leave our pets with someone we didn’t know, but Michelle quickly put us at ease and the pets took to her right away! She treated them like her own and it was obvious how much she loves animals. We have acreage and a cat who loves to try to escape. Michelle was extremely careful and watchful to make sure all 3 dogs and 2 cats all stayed safe. She sent pictures throughout her stay at our house and updated us often. She even tidied up the house, washed the bedding and left us the sweetest note. Highly recommend using Michelle and we will definitely hire her again!”
About: I currently have 2 fur babies of my own, a chihuahua mix and a standard poodle. I grew up with dogs and have experience making them feel loved and making sure they are well taken care of. I want to make sure your babies feel loved on and at home! I am a dog mom 24/7. I would love to take care of your pets the way I do mine! Dog walks can be given during the day and I also can drop in to check on your babies during the day as well! If your dog is coming to my home, I will make sure to give a warm introduction to my dogs to make sure they are comfortable. My dogs have lots of toys and your dog can bring some too! I stick to a routine with my pups, so that is something I am willing to do for yours!
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. I’m 29 years old, born and raised in Louisiana, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, not just a job or side hustle. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets because they’re family. I have two cats of my own, so I know the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of different personalities, ages, and energy levels — from playful puppies and kittens to older pets that need extra patience and gentle care. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them attention, affection, playtime, and a calm environment so they feel secure and happy. I want pet owners to have peace of mind knowing their babies are in caring, reliable hands. I’m currently working part time so I would have plenty of time for your loved ones. I’m available Monday-Sunday Mornings at 8am to 12pm . Evenings 6:30 to 8pm. I’m able to provide pets with a comfortable indoor space in my spare bedroom, giving them a calm and safe environment while in my care. I also have a spacious backyard where pets can enjoy fresh air and outdoor time safely on adjustable leashes, allowing them room to move around comfortably and stretch their legs based on their needs and activity level.
“Dweezil was very excited to see Caydence when she arrived. She took great care of him and treated our home with respect! We will definitely be using her services again in the near future.”
About: Your pet will be treated like family. I would love help take care of your pet when you aren’t able to. I also have two Aussiedoodles named Cliff & Norman. Whether it’s a long walk, boarding for an extended amount of time or just a play day, your furbaby will get the love and care as they would get at home. My schedule is open and I’m flexible to meet the needs of your schedule. I’m able to pick up and drop off if needed. 🐾 I will send you videos and pictures of your fur baby each visit and keep you updated. My motto is to treat your pet like I would want mine to be treated while I'm away. There is nothing more stressful than to worry about your fur baby while you can't.
“Once again, very happy with Brodi's regular updates/pictures. Checked with us ahead the engagement and wrapped up with us at the end. House was left spotless! We will be sure to book with Brodi in the future.”
“10 out of 10!!! She was absolutely amazing with our dog Kevin:) She stayed at the house and watched him for a week!!! She sent us updates and pictures and was great at communicating!!! Would highly recommend trusting her with your pets and I’m so thankful for Jamyriah!!💕”
“David & Lauren were great! The house sat for 5 nights and took great care of my two kitties. They were very responsive, sent photos/ videos, and even washed the bedding before they left! The next time I need a sitter they will be my first choice, I would recommend them to anyone.”
About: I’ve always had a passion for nature and animals you can find me taking my dog out on a trail hike every weekend! I’ve had multiple dogs in my life and know how to handle a variety of breeds (border collies, terriers, and larger dogs.) Animals are angels in my eyes and I hope to be able to take care of your angel and give you peace of mind and a carefree day! I currently attend LSU, so my schedule fluctuates depending what my classes require or if I have a test scheduled or even acting performance. I’m highly committed to my studies in wildlife conservation and resource management! I prefer not to host dogs in my house due to being a college student, but the app requires a response to be a sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Colyell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Colyell on Rover is $26.64 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 412 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Colyell. 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 Colyell 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 Colyell 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 Colyell 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 Colyell. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
