About: I've had dogs my entire life and absolutely love taking care of them! I am a full time stay at home mom. I'm available anytime. I love taking walks and we go to parks and walks all the time so the dogs would get plenty of exercise. They will be well taken care of and loved. I can give baths if needed, will also brush the dogs. Absolutely love getting to play with dogs and have them running around and enjoying their time outside! I'm pretty flexible on times and what all would need to be done. I am willing to travel to your house and walk the dogs, feed and water them as needed and anything else that needs to be done to care for your dog. This just has to be done at certain times. I have three kids, 8, 6, and 1 they absolutely love animals as well and are nice to the dogs! We live in a small mobile home park and dogs are allowed so no worries there. I can watch the dog while you're on vacation or however, whenever is needed if I get some notice! I am a stay at home mom so I'm home all day almost every day. I can take them outside to play a lot too. I don't have a fenced yard so dogs would be leashed and will get long walks. They will get toys inside as well to play with and fed and watered as requested. Im a stay at home mama so i have plenty of time to play and take care of your pups!! I also have 3 little helpers to run out some of their energy! I don't have a fenced yard so they will be leashed but there is a dog park very close to me that's fenced in and i am more than happy to take them there and run out some energy!
“Kim was so great with my dogs. She met the needs of all three different personalities ranging from a snuggle bug, or overly playful, to anxious about meeting people. I couldn't have asked for better.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets reliably and consistently since I was 15, and over the years I’ve built strong experience with cats and dogs of all ages and needs. What sets me apart is my experience with senior and special needs dogs and cats—I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness they require, whether it’s administering medications, helping them move around comfortably, or simply giving them calm companionship. I’m committed to treating every pet like my own, with a balance of love, structure, and reliability that gives owners peace of mind. As a self-employed person, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day and week. I’m able to plan around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins, and I have the time to give pets consistent attention without feeling rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make safety and trust my top priorities. I carefully follow the pet’s established routine, from feeding schedules to walk routes, and make sure doors, leashes, and gates are always secure. During walks, I’m attentive to my surroundings and keep pets safe from hazards or unfamiliar animals. I also keep the home environment tidy and respectful, treating it with the same care I would my own. My goal is to give pets a comfortable, stress-free experience and give owners peace of mind knowing their pets and home are in responsible hands.
About: Hi we’re Linda and Tyler, Lifelong animal lover with a goofy, friendly husky who keeps us active and smiling every day! Daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love are already part of my routine, and would love to share that with your fur baby too. Your pet will be treated like family in my care—whether they need exercise, attention, belly rubs, or just a comfy companion. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Bonus: my husky loves making new friends, and I also share his funny adventures on social media for fellow pet lovers to enjoy! I dedicate quality time to every pet and treat pet care seriously—whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or dog boarding. I make sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, comfort, and care based on their needs. You’ll also receive lots of picture updates so you can feel connected while you’re away. Communication is very important to me, and I always keep pet parents updated and informed. I offer dog boarding in a safe home with a fenced yard for plenty of supervised playtime, as well as walks and house sitting. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and will make sure they receive lots of exercise, love, and care, along with regular photo updates.
“Christine took good care of my dog. She showed concern that he was shaking when she got there and texted me right away. She spent time with him until he seemed to stop shaking and left me know that he was alright. I will definitely rebook her when I need someone.”
About: I volunteer at the SPCA walking dogs and caring for the cats. I'm a lover of all animals. I'm very clean and responsible and care for all animals as I would a family member. I'm currently working full-time, but I'm available after 4 and all weekends and holidays. I have a dog and fours cats of my own and this seems to work for them. They are very happy. I take my dog on long walks and provide him enrichment treats and toys. I always check when leaving to make sure that nothing is out he can hurt himself with. I'm also very strict on cleaning the cat boxes as I don't want them to get sick or smell up the house. I will clean up after your pets and I will make sure they are safe and happy.
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Family and friends always relied on me to take care of their pets while they were away. I’m a cat and dog person. Currently I work part time at a nursing home as a caregiver. I’m available in the late afternoons most days. Most weekends I’m available late morning and early afternoons. I have a underground fence, harnesses, and seatbelts as well as a hammock for in the car. I keep close eye on them. Never leave them out of sight

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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
