“Jamyriah was an amazing house and dog sitter! We came home to a spotless house, and it was obvious our dog had been incredibly well cared for. Our dog has health issues that require daily medication, frequent potty breaks due to a diuretic, and lots of extra attention. Jamyriah followed all of my instructions carefully, asked thoughtful questions whenever something didn’t go according to plan, and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable and there were no accidents. She also stayed overnight and was home for most of the day as requested, which was very important since I work from home and our dog is used to having someone around. Her communication, reliability, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her!”

“We used Avery for house sitting while we were out of town and she did a fantastic job! She gave updates when asked and checked in a couple times throughout the weekend. She was a great house sitter as well! We came back to a very tidy house and she has put the guest bed sheets in the washer for us, which was a nice surprise! We will definitely reach out to her again.”

Chuck did an amazing job--not only did we come to a clean house, but our dogs were well taken care of and we received multiple updates throughout the day. We definitely trust Chuck with our boys and house and will be booking him in the future.”

About: I've been caring for cats and dogs since I was 10 years old - over 24 years of hands-on experience. From my own childhood pets to helping neighbors, friends, and family, I've walked, fed, bathed, and loved dogs of all sizes and temperaments.I have trained old dogs to do new tricks. I treat every pet like my own, because to me, they are family. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means your pet gets real time and attention - not just check-ins between a packed day. I'm available for house sitting, and I'm happy to send photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I would love to get out of the house for a couple hours each day, but also understand if you want me present 24/7. I provide calm, attentive care in your pet's own home. I'm experienced with crate routines, feeding schedules, medication reminders, and keeping anxious pets comfortable. Your pet's safety and peace of mind (and yours!) are my top priority.

About: I would take amazing care of your pet in my home. I will be able to provide them with the same care they get at home. I work from home, so I have the flexibility in my day to provide walks & playtime when needed. I've had many years of experience caring for dogs (fish and a hamster). When walk time is not needed, they will have full access to my fully fenced in yard. I have also provided care for friends and family when they had to leave town both in their home and in my home. Both of my pets have unfortunately transitioned over the doggie rainbow but my love for fur babies continues. Our first fur baby, Niles, was adopted at 3 months old. He lived a very loving and active life and transitioned in 2020 after 16 1/2 years. We took our second fur baby Nyla in at the age of 6 after her owners no longer wanted her due to having a baby and she was being placed in a shelter. Finding us was the biggest blessing and she was what our family needed. She also lived a very active life, as we used to walk 7 miles a day. She was a German Shepherd/Husky mix and needed to stay mobile. She transitioned in 2025 after 11 1/2 years. With both of our fur pets, we would visit doggie parks which allowed them to play freely. Both of our pets were loved and cared for during the best and not so great days. Your pet will feel as loved as my own were when it comes to eating, playing, walking around the block, or just good ole fashioned cuddle time. I don't mind giving medicine if needed and any other special requests can also be taken care of. I am an entrepreneur working from home, so I'm able to provide care for your pet throughout the day. Our normal routine would include a morning, mid-day (if the temps aren't too hot), and evening walk. They will be able to go in the backyard for play throughout the day in the middle of those walks. I have a fully fenced in yard and your fur baby will be safe. I can also easily crate your fur baby if that is what you prefer. Just know they will be well cared for, and I only take one pet at a time to ensure they're safe. I only take two pets if they are in the same family.

About: My family and I have always had multiple dogs raised from puppies to full grown dogs that I helped to care for. This includes walking, bathing, feeding, playing fetch, trimming nails and taking them to the vet. I have also taken care of our farm animals daily needs. I work part time and my day to day schedule is very flexible. I am open to same day sitting jobs if needed. I am available to take dog to the vet as well. I have one friendly dog that loves furry company. I can accommodate needs of sitting location, depending on client’s preference. I have toys, crates, treats and dog beds to ensure comfort and needs are met.

“We love Kristen! She is super responsible, follows our instructions to the letter, and seems genuinely caring toward our dogs. She updated us constantly about what was going on with the dogs and at the house! She is extremely competent. She was comfortable with giving both of our dogs medications. This was one of the first Rover sitters I used where I felt completely at ease and not constantly worried. We recommend Kristen!”

I’ll be able to give your baby my full attention. Just let me know when you need to look after your baby I love taking dogs for walks or even car rides. Love playing fetch or whatever your dog enjoys doing. I also have a crate to crate your dog in if needed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Colyell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 411 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 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 Colyell. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
