“Ciel was an incredible sitter for my cat! She sent small updates and pictures each day, and I never worried about how my cat was doing. It made it so easy to travel for the holidays without him. Highly recommend her!!”
“What a weight Teresa took off my shoulders knowing Teresa was watching my babies so my husband and I could take a moment to ourselves. I didn’t have to worry as the check ins were on time and we received plenty of photos. Thank you for taking such great care of my babies.”
About: I have vast experience working with many different animals, and one of my greatest strengths is helping make the animals I work with feel comfortable. I am certain that I could do the same with your animals too! Specifically, the animals that I work with range from box turtles, cats, small dogs, and large dogs. I am currently a student at Capital University, but I am willing to squeeze in time on my breaks and during the summer to walk and/or take care of your fur babies for whenever you need!! I have a very flexible schedule and would be willing to work with you in order to meet your pet's needs! My services include house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. You give me a time and place and I'll be there for your fur baby!
About: Large Animal Science graduate, have completed the vet tech, dog grooming, and agility courses at BCAHS. Experience with diverse/exotic animal caretaking rolls, canine cpr certified, lots of experience with difficult dog breeds. My schedule with work is very flexible. Usually I tend to walk my dog for a 1-2 hours a day. It is extremely important that my dog Nala gets exercise each day to make sure she stays happy and healthy. Sometimes I also take my cat on the walks as well (he loves spending time outside with his sister with his harness and leash on!). Weekends have much more flexibility with my schedule. It is extremely important to make sure that any animal feels comfortable in their environment. Giving them the opportunity to take bathroom breaks and keeping pets on their normal schedule is very important. Giving pets access to fresh drinking water, specific foods, and medications as needed is also crucial. Providing proper exercise and mental enrichment only helps to further improve an animal’s experience in their surroundings as well.
“Andrew was great while doing drop-ins during a family vacation, going above and beyond for our dog. My dog has never been happier when returning from a vacation. So, I would reccomend Andrew for any dog-sitting.”
“Jenny did a great job caring for our pets while we were away for the day. She was very kind and responsive and sent real time updates during the visits. Two of our dogs are shy/fearful due to traumatic pasts and she was understanding and accommodating to them. We’re very appreciative.”
About: Experience volunteering at local cat cafe and caring for friends/family’s pets. Just like dogs, I also look forward to taking my own daily walks! :) I’m the proud mom of 2 cats and I specialize in caring for pets with anxiety. My main job is as a dance teacher, so I only work after school/work ends for our students. This leaves my mornings and mid-days free for walks and furry friends! I am always respectful of clients’ property (and pets of course)! My house currently does not accept pets but I love spending time outside and stopping by to provide needed care.
“Makahalee was timely, professional, and conmunicative. Our Giant Schnauzer can be a little intimidating, but Makahalee was unphased. We'd happily trust her to take care of our pup again, and I sincerely hope we get the chance! She was a real natural!”
About: My girlfriend Joanna and I will be working as a pair for ypu and your pet or pets needs. That way we can ensure there is always someone there incase one of us have to leave for any reason. Ive helped my dad raise hid old dog shaddow, i'm raising my own dog brandy now. I used to dog sit for someone who had 2 VERY energetic dogs. The one was like a kangaroo... I absolutely love dogs and animals. Im very paitent with them and caring Im working as a self employed delivery driver with grubhub and occasionally uber. Which means i have flexibility so im mostly always available. I have a self set schedule for grubhub which typically runs from 10am to 6pm, but if youre in the milton or lewisburg area that should be no problem to do quick drop ins and check ups. I can also do outside of those areas but please keep in mind that i have to be back in the milton lewisburg area every 2 hours to meet my grubhub schedule. Thank you for understanding. I treat my animals with respect and paitence. I understand they need time and affection. My dog at home gets plenty of attention (maybe too much) and fed multiple times a day with a constant food bowl down. On hot days i make sure she has plenty of water. When i can (work and weather permitted) we go for walks.or play outside. As for watching and caring for your pet, youre the boss so you tell me what they need and ill do my best to make sure it happens!
About: I have 3 fur babies 2 black labs and an English mastiff. So I have experience with different breeds. I will love your babies as if they were my own. I am a stay at home mom so i’m available pretty much any day or time. I can do last minute bookings if need be. I have 3 dogs of my own and a cat, my dogs are all dog friendly but my males are not neutered. I have almost an acre completely fenced in.
“Nicole was phenomenal! She gave my diabetic cat her insulin injections while I was away. She was very responsive and sent updates which eased any worries I had. I didn’t need care for my dog this time around but next time I do, I will be reaching out to her in particular. You can tell she cares about animals so you know your babies will be in good hands. If you’re in need of any care I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve been caring for peoples pets since I was 16 and have had a dog ever since I was born. I have grown up with different breeds and sizes of dogs and can handle almost anything. Whether it be a quick pop in for play outdoors or sleepovers I have done it all with a variety of ages of pets and breeds. I have taken care of senior pets that have needed extra attention (ie diapers, meds). My schedule can be a little hectic and not always set to specific times. Some weeks I have more availability than others. I will make it a priority to take care of your fur baby. Pets are part of the family. We cuddle on the couch, go for walks, play fetch until we get tired, and fall asleep watching movies.
About: I've raised both of my dogs since they were puppies and understand how important consistency is. I enjoy learning about each dog I meet and discovering ways to connect with them. Dog hugs are just a plus! My pet care availability will typically be before 8am and after 4:30pm during the week. I would also consider overnight bookings during the week. Weekends, I am typically available at all times day and night. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I live in an area with a great walking trail and a dog park we can visit. I also have an available crate (Large) with a dog bed and plenty of dog food/treats to share.
About: Hello, my name is Maggie! I have been a dog owner of 2 great pups for 10 years now! One of them is 15 years old so I do have experience taking care of older dogs. I have also raised a puppy so I have experience with younger dogs as well. I am so excited to meet a bunch of new pups. I am a recent Bucknell grad and am currently working with AmeriCorps with flexible hours so taking care of your dogs will be first priority. I'll take your dogs on a hike, cuddle at home, on a small walk or anything else! I am very reliable and a huge dog and cat lover. I'm willing to walk your dogs in any kind of weather and give them the love they deserve. I have also grown up with 3 cats so I am extremely comfortable taking care of them as well. I am currently serving with AmeriCorps with flexible full time hours. I am able to stop home at lunch or before and after work to check on your pets! I am comfortable taking your pets out for walks, playing fetch in the backyard, crating dogs, cleaning litter boxes and anything else your pet needs!
About: I love meeting new dogs and being able to give them some extra love while their pawrents are away from home! I've grown up having a dog my entire life and have cared for numerous friends and families' pets while they're away! I am currently completing my grad school internship and will be available typically anytime Monday's, Friday's, Saturday's, and Sunday's. I can also drop in after work on Wednesday's and Thursday's! I would love to give your pet some extra love while you're away and will take them outside to play for a little bit and ensure they are settled back into their home before I leave!

Pet 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in New Columbia on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 238 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Columbia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Columbia. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
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.
