About: I cat sit for my neighbor for long periods of time when she goes away. I’ve been an animal owner since the age of 3. Currently I’m in school for nursing but don’t have classes Monday and Wednesday as well as the weekend. Those days I’m hoping to spend time with pets. Caring for pets in my home I will have them on a leash if outside just in case they like to run away. At a clients home I’ll follow the directions to ensure perfect pet care.
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can rest easy knowing your pet will be in loving, capable hands with someone who truly understands and appreciates animals. I have a flexible summer schedule, which allows me plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets while you’re away. I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for in your absence. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where your animal can feel at ease and I follow any instructions closely!
“Madison is super trustworthy, followed all my instructions to the T, and communicated all throughout her drop ins! I will definitely book her, again, with a peace of mind if she’s available in the future!”
“Outstanding service, Sierra went above and beyond to take care of my babies. Cordial, responsible and understanding. I would very much recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable person to take care of your pets.”
About: I’ve had animals for as long as I can remember, so I’ve bathed, walked, fed, administered pills, cleaned up after them and given them love. I work during the day so I will have enough time during the evenings and nights as well as the weekends to care for any animals that have parents that may work second or third shift. I make sure the pet is getting the care it needs in a timely manner. The pet has my full attention the entire time I’m with them.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, and I am very reliable when it comes to sitting. I am a very good caretaker and will ensure the best for your animals! I go to high school until 2:40 Monday-Friday, and I work part-time at Panera; usually 2-3 days a week. So, I would be available from 3-10 on the days that I don’t have work, and this will change once summer comes around. I have dog leashes and toys, along with a crate if needed. I am able to walk dogs in any weather for as long as you’d prefer me to. Also, I always carry treats!
“Nicole has a way with pets like I have never seen before. Her kindness and compassion allowed me to entrust my dear kitty to her. She was very professional and trustworthy. I highly recommend her!”
About: Growing up I have always had dogs and cats. Currently I share 2 dogs and 3 cats. One I have had for about 6 years and the other for 2. I love animals! I can walk, feed, shower, watch/play with any dog! I’m available most times of the day unless I have class. I am a full time graduate student. Most mornings, afternoons, and evenings are great. I regularly take my dogs on walks so that should be no problem-same with bathing. Having a fenced yard would be great, but it is not needed. I love to play and snuggle as well if your dog is comfortable with that haha. I would also like to bring my sister to some of the house sitting nights for safety reasons if that’s alright!
About: Hello, my name is Amelia! My very first job was in a boarding/grooming facility at the age of 15 and I worked there until I graduated college. For the last 10 years I have been working as a Certified Veterinary Technician in an emergency and ICU setting. Having owned my fair share of pets, I understand the depth of the human-animal bond and strive to go above and beyond so that pet owners KNOW that their fur babies are in good hands. I have a soft spot for the older, slower seniors that need a little extra TLC. Big or small, energetic or lazy, poofy or hairless- each pet is as important to me as they are to you! I also offer services such as nail trims, anal gland expression, subcutaneous fluid administration and sanitary grooming- just ask! I am currently home visiting family for the summer and working part-time as a server on the weekends. I would love to be able to spend my week with your pet! I treat every pet as if they were my own. I aim to provide professional level care, as fear free as possible. Safety is my number one priority.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals of all types for as long as I can remember. I will be comforting, responsible, and loving for your animal. I just graduated high school and will be off to college in August! I’m extremely free this summer and open to care for your pets! I have two cats and one dog that I feed, groom, give medications to, and play with. I understand the basic fundamentals of how to treat and animal and make them feel comfortable.
About: I’ve lived with dogs all my life and they’ve ranged from tiny to over 100lbs. I love spending time with them, I’m in college now so I don’t get to spend time with dogs as much. I have trained all my dogs at home and they are very well behaved. I love to sit around and will cuddle your dog if that’s what they like. I can also run around and play with them until they’re tired out. I can never spend too much time with a dog. I love pitties and I’m glad to house sit, drop in or walk them. I understand that all dos have different needs I’m very flexible and can cater to your dogs specific needs. I also am used to giving dogs big and small baths if you would like that too. I work with horses so I’m used to animals of all sizes. If you want your dog spoiled I’m your girl! I am currently completing my fieldwork which is full-time and am looking to walk or drop in on pets every so often throughout the week I am very attentive to the specific needs of each animal and like to ask questions of the owner to understand what will make their pet most comfortable.
“Kaitlynn has visited with and cared for my dog during multiple visits now. She is easy to communicate with, sends pictures and updates, and my dog loves her and is well cared for! I would recommend Kaitlynn to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I am new at taking care of your fur babies but I have 10 years at loving, caring and spoiling my own fur baby! Your fur babies will have 100% of my attention! Morning, afternoon, evening or overnight any day of the week. I am retired and am looking to spoil and love your pet like my own. I would love to take care of your fur baby in your home!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Columbia
Laura is so great, especially with my shy 1yr old dog! She came to visit them ahead of time and was very friendly and professional! She took great care of my boys and left a summary and pictures! I really appreciate Laura for taking the time to visit my pups and giving them a new friend!
Laura was very professional and right on time! I was unable to have a meet and greet with her beforehand because of how quick I booked the appointment and she handled meeting the dogs in person by herself so well! My dogs are a lot so for her to be able to handle both of them is impressive! Look forward to working with laura again very soon!
Makahalee was wonderful with our dog! She even did a meet and greet with us and our dog prior to her coming for the first time. She took her outside and spent time playing with her both inside & outside. She also sent multiple pictures of her, played ball with her, and made sure she had food and water before she left. Our dog loves playing with her and looked so happy in all the pictures Makahalee shared 😊
Makahalee is a literal angel when it comes to my little pup. She is very flexible with her schedule, and prompt at getting back to you on when she can come to watch your babies. She communicates any issues or things going on with your pet to you as soon as she is done with her visit, or during the visit if it’s a pressing matter. My little guy can be a hand full and she treats him so well and gives him the attention and loving he needs. You can not go wrong with using her to help you with your dogs.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a New Columbia stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 New Columbia 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!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in New Columbia with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
